Leo Sun: The 12 Moon Combinations

Leo Sun is the zodiac's performer and creator , warm, expressive, and oriented toward genuine self-expression and the recognition that comes with it. The Sun in Leo gives a person real presence, genuine generosity, and a deep need to matter. But the Moon sign shapes what is happening underneath all that warmth and expression: what this person needs when no one is watching, how they handle the moments when recognition doesn't come, and what kind of emotional depth the bright exterior conceals.

Two Leo Sun people with different Moons can live in very different private worlds , the same warmth and need for expression channeled through completely different emotional natures.
