Fire Sun, Fire Moon: what you want and what you need point the same way, so you are decisive, energetic and quick to act. The risk is burning out, or running past other people's feelings.
Your Leo Sun: who you are becoming
A Leo Sun needs to shine on purpose: you grow by creating, leading with warmth and being seen for who you are. At work, your Leo Sun leads with confidence, motivates others and does best when the work is visible.
Your Leo Moon: what you need
A Leo Moon needs warmth and appreciation: you feel safe when you are celebrated, trusted and free to be generous. Under stress, your Leo Moon feels hurt when ignored and can turn dramatic or proud.
How the Leo Sun and Leo Moon work together
Sun and Moon in the same sign usually means you were born close to a New Moon. Identity and needs point at one target, so you are consistent and easy to read, though you may find it hard to see yourself from the outside.
Leo is a fixed fire sign and Leo is a fixed fire sign. What helps: Ask someone you trust how you come across. You may be more obvious than you think.
Leo Sun, Leo Moon in love
In love, your Leo Sun loves generously and wants a partner who is proud of you. Your Leo Moon needs visible affection and praise to feel secure. A partner who understands both halves, not just the one you show first, is the one who stays.
