Sun in Leo, Moon in Aries

Fire meets fire in you, and the active, outgoing yang side of life sets the tone. Doing is your natural way of being. Your sense of self is strong, doubled even, and it gives you a big, warm presence. Your creativity runs high, and you meet life with optimism, courage, a touch of swagger and a generous heart. Life can feel like a stage to you, with you in the leading role, and you know how to present yourself and make an impression. Your vital energy flows openly, steadily and warmly, and the people around you feel that warmth. You trust yourself completely, you dislike being steered by others, and you are independent and set on your goals.

When you lead, you lead openly and expect your word to count. If someone ignores it, you may raise your voice without much hesitation. Tension from the day can build up in you and sometimes spills over onto the people closest to you, so regular sport, even a workout at home, is a very good outlet for you. Love sits at the center of your life, and feelings are the ground you stand on. You have pride, a strong sense of your own worth, a wish to look after and protect others, and both the wish and the talent to be noticed. You are energetic, you start new things easily, and then you carry them through to the end with persistence and staying power.

You tend to make decisions on the basis of your own view, which feels to you like the only right one, and it can help to let a second opinion in now and then. You carry your decisions out directly and firmly, often bluntly. You are open to the world, sincere, generous with your trust and charming. For rest you like comfort, ideally a good, well-known resort, because you feel you deserve the best life can offer. You also unwind through action and physical effort, and through doing things your own way. You often take on home repairs, move the furniture around and are the first to try a new way of making daily life easier or a new idea for the interior. In everyday matters you are an innovator and a pioneer. Your emotions come out brightly, freely and on impulse.

When you care for loved ones, you tend to follow your own idea of what care means, and checking how they actually receive it can make your kindness land even better. Food and sleep don't rank high for you, since there always seems to be something more exciting to throw yourself into. Your conscious will and your inner needs work well together and point toward rich creativity and fresh ideas. Because the Sun in Leo is much stronger here than the Moon in Aries, you may sometimes drive your body hard to serve your will, and it is worth remembering that your health pays for that excess.

In a man's chart, this combination brings emotional openness, honesty and a healthy love of self, and he is often drawn to a partner who is very active, independent and spontaneous. In a woman's chart, it puts the accent on passion, speed and dynamism, and she is drawn to a man who is optimistic, kind and sincere.
