Sun in Leo, Moon in Scorpio

Qualities that seem not to belong together meet in you: openness and mystery, generosity and a sharp, biting edge. You are stubborn and tenacious. You start new projects on impulse and always bring them to a result, paying little attention to how circumstances change around you. You like to hold on to a single goal. Convincing you of anything is hard, and making you do something against your will is impossible. Your vitality is warm and steady, and it reaches the people around you. Your creativity is strong, and you use it to express yourself. You look to the future with optimism, and your complete self-assurance gives you authority in the eyes of others.

You use your authority openly. You read people very well, and when you need to, you know how to steer them skillfully toward your goals, which is a power worth using with care. Your decisions are always your own, and you feel that nobody understands the problem better than you.

You carry your decisions out quietly and discreetly, with a fine sense of people and their sore spots, and sometimes with a bit of concealment. You are proud and have a strong sense of your own dignity. You know how to make a strong impression. You are kind, yet if someone hurts you, even by accident, you remember it for a long time, and letting go of old hurts can free up a lot of your energy.

For rest you like maximum convenience and comfort, and first class is the least you feel you deserve. You relax where nobody disturbs you and you can attend to your private affairs. You don't like others to know your plans. You are very possessive and guard jealously whatever you see as yours, and anyone who reaches for it will soon feel it. You are romantic and passionate, and your feelings are deep and intense. You rarely show your emotions openly, and only those close to you know what passions stir inside you. At times, without meaning to, you may shake up a partnership that is calm and well settled, and noticing that impulse can help you protect what you value.

At home you like to be in charge, and you sense very well the mood of the house and of your loved ones. Because the Sun in Leo is much stronger here than the Moon in Scorpio, you tend to drive your body hard to serve your will, and your health pays for that excess. You may also lack some flexibility and lightness, and emotion, passion and authority can run to excess. Your conscious aims and your inner needs pull against each other, and making peace between them is part of your path.

In a man's chart, this combination brings kindness, expressiveness and a strong focus on self, and he is often drawn to a partner with emotional depth, passion and an iron will. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting harder and puts a strong accent on her inner strength, and she is drawn to a man who is open, spontaneous and generous.
