Sun in Aries, Moon in Leo

The active, masculine principle, the yang side of life, is strongly expressed in your character. Activity is your natural way of being, and your sense of self shines twice as bright. You are full of energy and drive. Your decisions always carry a touch of innovation, daring, courage and independence. You carry them out with confident pressure, and you tend to expect others to be glad to help you, which they often are, though a word of thanks goes a long way. You are deeply creative, and you create best where you have room to spread your wings and show your independence. You start new ventures easily, with full confidence in your abilities. Other people's reactions to your actions don't interest you much, yet anything that concerns you personally touches you deeply. People respect you for your enthusiasm and your love of life.

You lead by your own firm convictions, and when you care for others you are warm and wonderfully generous. You have a fiery temper and can flare up quickly, and it can help to let a little time pass before you answer in the heat of the moment. You long to live, create and act. You are open-hearted and kind, and quick to trust. Luxury, elegance and abundance attract you. Your feelings come out on impulse, and you express them vividly, with a flair for drama. You are natural and sincere in everything you do, and this sincerity softens your strong will and your forceful side. You want to be first, always and everywhere, and you usually succeed. Trickery and meanness have no place in you.

To others you are like an open book, a colorful and fascinating one. In an unfamiliar setting, you settle in by showing who you are. You love inviting guests and hosting parties at home. At home you tend to take charge and like things done your way, and leaving some decisions to others can make home feel lighter for everyone. You have a strong wish to show your inner world and let it be seen. Feelings are the foundation of your life. You need praise and attention, and you blossom when you get them. You raise your children to be independent and encourage them to take the initiative.

You like your rest to be as active as possible, with plenty of physical exercise. You relax best where you are appreciated and can show all your generosity and kindness.

Your conscious mind and your inner needs work in harmony, aimed at bringing new ideas to life and expressing your rich creative potential.

Since the Sun in Aries is much stronger than the Moon in Leo, you may neglect your body's needs to serve your will and your conscious goals. Too much willpower can come at the expense of your health, so it is worth giving your body the rest it asks for.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a strong will, and he is often drawn to a partner who is active, kind, generous and expressive. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting to new situations take more effort and puts a strong emphasis on expressing her feelings, and she is drawn to a man who matches her: very independent, active and self-assured.
