Sun in Leo, Moon in Leo

With both lights in Leo, the lion's qualities shine twice as bright in you. The active, outgoing yang principle shapes your character, and doing is your natural way of being. Your sense of self is doubled too, and you tend to want the people around you to follow your lead. Your energy shines openly and steadily, warming everyone nearby. You are kind and trusting, and your creativity shows in everything you do. Your love of life and your gift for drama go hand in hand with a love of being admired. You look at life with optimism. You have pride, a strong sense of your worth, a wish to protect and guide others, and both the wish and the talent to be at the center of attention. Your complete self-assurance gives you authority in the eyes of others, especially your family. Beneath your warm, open manner lies a firmer core than people expect, and a wound to your pride can stay with you a long time, so letting old hurts go is part of your path.

When you lead, you lead openly and expect your word to be followed. You tend to decide on the basis of your own view, which seems to you the only right one, and you carry decisions out firmly, with some pressure and the conviction that others should simply be glad to help. It can help to ask people, too, since they often give more when they feel invited. Your sincerity can come across as innocence. You are generous in an indulgent, big-hearted way. You know how to win an audience. Love plays a major part in your life. Your judgments and positions are your own, and you have a great sense of humor.

You express your emotions vividly, with a flair for drama and a touch of exaggeration. You find your place in the world by showing yourself to it.

Anything that concerns you personally touches a sensitive spot.

Your own habits matter more to you than other people's. When you care for others, you do it with warmth and generosity. At home you can be commanding and like to have the final say, 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. Life can feel like a stage where the leading role has been kept for you. You have a big heart and a talent for grand gestures. Feelings are the foundation of your life. You hope for praise and attention, and when people overlook you, it can feel like a personal slight.

Flattery reaches you easily. You want to be first, always and in everything. You love organizing celebrations, and you know how to make them feel like theater. You have a taste for luxury and abundance. You show your feelings on impulse and you are open to the world. You need to feel needed and important. At times there is something childlike about you, playful and a little unguarded.

For rest you like a luxurious setting where everything is of the best quality, because you feel you are worth it, and you relax when people give you plenty of attention. Your conscious will and your inner needs work in harmony and point toward rich creativity. Because the Sun's will carries so much weight in this combination, you may sometimes drive your body hard to serve your wishes, and it is worth remembering that your health pays for that excess.

This combination tends to sit more easily in a man's chart, where it gives a natural expression of conscious aims and willpower. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting to others harder, and sociability and flexibility may take more effort, so a little give and take can open many doors.
