What does your Moon sign tell you about your personality?

Unlike your Sun sign, your Moon sign unravels everything that is hidden behind closed doors, and that only surfaces during highly emotional moments and situations. Your Moon sign represents how you feel, the deepest parts of yourself, and who you really are. It depicts your emotional makeup, your subconscious reactions, as well as the way you feel. Unlike your Sun and Rising sign, your Moon sign comes out in your closest relationships, like with your family, best friend, and romantic partners.

Why is your Moon sign so important in romantic compatibility?

We could say that when it comes to life, but especially love and romance, understanding the Moon is everything! Your Moon sign describes your emotional inner world, and it says so much about how you'll connect with someone romantically. It's even more important than your Sun sign when it comes to romantic compatibility, because romance is all about ~feelings~.

Leo Moon Personality Traits

If the Moon was positioned in the sign of Leo at your exact moment of birth…lucky you! Because Leo is ruled by the Sun, your emotions and inner life are also ruled by the light of the beautiful life-giving star of our solar system. Leo is a magical Moon sign because it pulls strength and brilliance from the legendary relationship between the Sun and Moon.

Your Leo Moon makes your personality bold, brave, and unapologetically bright! You are magnetic and people feel automatically drawn to you. You were born to shine and bring warmth to those who are attracted to your infinite inner light. You like attention—but not in a way that is obnoxious, as you are picky about the way you choose your crew.

Creativity is one of your superpowers, and it’s one of your go-to secrets to having a happy emotional life. The truth is that having so much radiance inside you means having to channel it in productive ways. It’s natural for a Leo Moon to end up in a career that has a creative component to it. But if that doesn’t apply to you, making sure your creative self-expression has an outlet will tame the theatrical tendencies of your Moon sign.

Leo Moon Compatibility

Let’s face it! When it comes to love and romance, you are even pickier than with your friendships. The reason is simple: When you are invested in a relationship, you give it your all. Showering your partner with attention and well-thought gifts makes you tick, and you absolutely love to get the same in return. Unlike some other Moon signs, you do better when involved in serious and well-defined partnerships—off-and-on connections just won’t make the cut!

The absolute truth is that you love being admired (more like… adored!) by your partner. You are an all-or-nothing type of lover! When things get intense or you’re feeling unhappy, however, you do tend to blow up. If you can remember that others don’t see life through such a colorful filter, this will help you control your highs—but most importantly, your lows—in love.
