Hi :)
I'm a Leo with an Ares moon and Aquarius rising. As a kid reading through my mom's astrology book by Linda Goodkind (I think) I was totally convinced that I was adopted and my parents just chose my birth date...I couldn't see any of the Leo trademarks in me at all. I'm very shy, cannot stand being the center of attention to the point I dread my own birthday party because I'll have to open gifts in front of others.
As time goes on, though, I do see my tendency to be a drama queen when things seem to be wrong in my world, and my ego is my weakness....don't hurt my feelings or mock my skills! ; )

Lets see, some of my favorite things to do are: write poetry, dance ( the only time I don't mind showing off), build fantasies in my head, read, read, read!, listen to other peoples stories, cuddle, and enjoy any alone time I can grab in a house full of kids and pets and my husband. Don't get me wrong, I love them all and will fight to the death for them if necessary, but I crave my alone time and look forward to it almost as much as daily chocolate fix.

My dislikes would include: people who get off being mean to others, liars, injustice, being taken advantage of, "reality" tv, too much noise, chaos, and rodents.

I enjoy my pleasures and can be quite the procrastinator when it comes to the everyday things that need to get done, especially if I'm lost in a good fantasy book. I have been told I'm a great person to tell your troubles to, that I have a big heart, and people are comfortable around me.
On the other hand, I see myself as insecure, skittish, selfish, and afraid to take leaps of faith with my life. Change is VERY scary and can put me into a panic mode. Did I mention I'm very moody? I'm either high on life or circling the bowels of ****. Maybe that falls under the drama queen business....

I don't think I'm a very good poster child for Leo, but my parents insist I wasn't adopted, so maybe they just dropped me a few times too many and dented my Leo gene ;)

Lol, am I the only one to have noticed that the 2 replies are from Leo suns & fire sign moons? In my experience Leos can be quiet people, but not likely to quietly accept situations where they feel they should be getting deserved attention.

In contrast to the above fire sign couplings, I'm a Scorpio with a Leo moon. The fun part is that the Scorpio sun is conjuct Neptune, the Leo Moon is conjunct Uranus, and both are square each other in the same signs. Yes, I do get bored quickly, and my bowling average will attest to the fact that I will even change what is working, just for the sake of change. Following any routine for any length of time builds up inner tension. Despite the rather sedate Virgo rising, I have red hair which could be said to be worn in a loose mane style. I'm not one to shirk confrontations (even when the safety-conscious would hold back), and have been known to confront strangers about really rude behavior like talking being disruptive in movies, ear-splitting whistling men, basically pretty much anything. I'm especially vocal when I feel I've been treated unfairly. Lest anyone think I'm running around like a harpy, I'm also very kind and will go out of my way to help people, and especially animals.

The Leo Moon - Uranus conjunction is in the 11th house. Friends pop in and out of my life for periods of time, and it does provoke a desire to get away if I see people entirely too much. I have a Libra friend who doesn't comprehend why I think weekly or more visits and almost daily emails could feel suffocating. I enjoy meeting strangers and am not shy.

Wow, if the rest of my chart were different, I could have been some firebrand!

Hi Heathen. Leo Moon sounds interesting, especially being balanced out with Virgo rising. Neat combination. Hi Lindy22. Is your daughter strong of character? I ask because being born on the 8th seems to indicate leadership abilities and a good head for business. Adding the fact she is a Leo, well....it would seem the sky's the limit for her!

Hi everyone :)

Meera, I definetly relate with your need not to let people down, both at home and work. I even feel bad when I can't donate to the charities that send requests my way, especially if they involve children or endangered animals.

Heathen, I wish I had more fire in me to confront the people/issues that are bothering me...including those pesky rude people at the movie theaters! I'm more the cowardly Lion type, though if it's a really BIG issue, then I do find my courage...like during my divorce.

Lindy, I do think it's my Leo strength that's gotten me through a lot of bad stuff. It must be deep within my inner core, wrapped up with several layers of marshmallow cream, but it is there when I truly need it. ;)

Barack Obama is a Leo. I'm very impressed w/him. I think he'll be a very good communicator. I think he'll keep the American people informed. There's issues I don't agree with, but I think our Country is in need of him. I read somewhere that Pisces is somewhere in his chart.
