The lights swap places
Here’s a neat bit of symbolism: the Sun sits in the Moon’s sign, and the Moon sits in the Sun’s. Your outer shell and soft inside are Cancer’s. But a Leo Moon brings warmth, dignity and a bit of a sparkle to your feelings, and you aren’t quite as knocked around by the daily flood of emotion as many Cancer Suns are. You take charge of your people. You’ll host the holiday, organize the reunion and make sure everyone knows how talented your niece is.
You’re generous and proud, and those are often the same thing. You want the people you love to shine, partly as your own reflected glory.
Pride in the way
The tender part of you needs comfort, but the Leo part doesn’t want to be seen needing it. So you may wait to be noticed. When you aren’t, you might get grand and hurt and very busy. A partner can’t quite tell what they did, only that the temperature in the kitchen just dropped.
You’re a loving, loyal partner who really shows up. You also need to feel special, and you’ll notice if a partner’s attention drifts toward someone else, even if only for one evening at a party.
Asking without losing face
Try letting one person see you being small. “I had a rotten day, and I don’t want to be sensible about it” costs you nothing with someone who loves you, and they’ll probably be flattered. Let others host once in a while too. And be careful that your people get to be who they are, as well as who you’re proud of. They might not want the career you’ve been telling everyone about.
