Sun in Leo, Moon in Pisces

You hold qualities in yourself that seem hard to combine: drive and a deep sensitivity, energy and a wish to dissolve into your feelings, a strong sense of self and a real gift for sympathy and empathy.

Your energy radiates openly, steadily and warmly toward others. You are kind and trusting, and you feel things very deeply. You live through your feelings, and from time to time you withdraw into a world of dreams you have made yourself, where you can forget about everyday problems for a while. Coming back gently to solid ground is part of your path.

Your love of life and your gift for drama go hand in hand with a love of being admired. You know how to present yourself and make an impression. You use your rich creativity to express your deep, intense feelings. You look to the future with optimism, yet at times a vague anxiety comes over you for no clear reason. You have a big heart and a talent for beautiful gestures. You love deeply and know how to love. You feel other people's pain keenly and are ready to sacrifice yourself for them. You are sincere and generous, kind and altruistic.

You make your decisions as independently as you can, unswayed by other people's opinions, and you tend to feel that your way of solving problems is the right one. When you carry them out, you sense the situation and the right moment, and you find the people who can help you. Your intuition is very well developed, and you have a real talent for reading people, which you sometimes use to bring them around to your way, so it is worth using that gift openly and kindly. You hope for praise and attention. The influence you seek is warmed by compassion, though, and what drives you most is the chance to make life better for others.

Being overlooked can sting more than you show.

For rest you like a comfortable, luxurious setting, feeling that the best is just right for you. You relax in a romantic atmosphere of love and things left unsaid. Water calms and soothes you. Deep inside, you long for agreement and understanding with others. You enjoy food, preferably on your own. You are tolerant with people, and when you care for someone you sense intuitively what they need.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs don't always sit easily together, and your emotions can run high.

Practical matters may not come easily, and a little structure helps you.

In a man's chart, this combination brings a strong character, energy, expressiveness, kindness and a big heart, and he is often drawn to a partner who is gentle, highly sensitive, emotional and tender. In a woman's chart, it gives a harmonious expression of her receptive, feminine side, along with a tendency toward emotional storms, and she is drawn to a man who is confident, dynamic, generous and optimistic.
