Shouldn't I Feel More Leonine?

Understanding Why You Might Not Feel Very Leo

Feeling disconnected from Leo traits can be due to various factors like your full birth chart or current planetary influences. It doesn't mean you lack Leo energy but may suggest other astrological aspects are at play. Exploring your complete natal chart can offer more insight into your personal expression of Leo qualities.

homies, it's because you have scorpio rising. An aqua moon doesn't help either when you see yourself as the exact opposite of what your sun sign is.

I'll bet you're stubborn as hell though. What part of leo CAN you relate to?

lol I've never seen anyone use the terms "complex" and "Leo" in the same sentence before ahaha!

Like I said, it must be your rising and moon sign : )

...you delightful gem of Leo generosity....

*sigh* compliments on the Leo board. It's about time (joking)

sort of 🙂

Is Leo a lateblooming sign? I have read many times that Libra does not really come into power until later, usually around 30. I didn't feel like a libra at all until I was about 27/28. I didn't identiry with the sign at all until then. Now, I identify with Libra.

Perhaps, Leo is the same?

Well that's my mission, isn't it?
To clear up all those nasty misconceptions....
Only......
I'm not technically the posterchild for Leos, because of what you just said.......
BUT! Get this!!!!!

I actually think that my Aqua moon helps me understand the nature of Leos a little BETTER!!! ya know, very analytical, into psychology, all that good stuff...in combination with the Leo sun...which is about self-discovery, if you will....I think it's a wonderful combination. I'd say my Aqua moon detracts from my Leo sun only very minimally; if anything it serves to add more dimension. Scorpio ascendent HA! Not even gonna get into that....

You have Aqua moon too dontya?

It helps me detach and realize I am not the center of the universe. Yes, it helps me catch myself.

LS that could be true. I don't think I grew into my lioness roots until I was about 25.

..Is that a problem?...

This isn't something for me to answer.

But the reason I ask is because sometimes people can relate to other signs in their chart more than their actual sun sign.

I usually do feel like a Leo...really don't know what's gotten into me lately...

In new situations, the Scorpio ascendent definitely takes over...I'm very quiet, observe everything, and I can tell a lot about people from the first meeting, actually.

It's really difficult to say which one I identify with more, because Leo and Scorpio are actually quite similar in a lot of ways. And the Aquarius moon..just kind of melds in with it all. So basically I'm just a mishmash, and right now that is translating to Cancer and...I don't like it 😢 I wanna get back to normal

what little sparrow said is making the wheels turn too...somewhat slowly as I've never even considered that and they're a bit rusty...I think it was a good point. Especially because of the Aquarius moon, these peepskulls are s'posed to be pretty shy, particularly when they're younger.

Well, Venus and Mercury are currently transiting Cancer. The moon is in Scorpio right now. And the sun in Leo could dramatize emotions. This could make even the most detached air sign emotional. You could be responding to this.

I have to get back to work. I hope you feel better homies *hugs*

Is the Grand Cross still going through Leo? If it is, I believe it is wreaking havoc with the fixed signs. I think, if I remember correctly, it is going to be moving through Leo until the end of August.

Oh no! It doesn't suck at all! You just haven't wondered into your power yet.

It will give you a lot of power and confidence. You will have the power of persuasion. You will have clear thinking but not only that the confidence and the ability to communicate them effectively. Those are some pretty great gifts! It is coming honey just takes awhile to get here.

I am lucky. I have all the illusion of passion and temper without really feeling it. It takes a whole LOT to piss me off. Usually it has to do with seeing someone else being mistreated. I think that would be all the Libra in my chart.

It's no longer a grand cross. It's now called a T-square now that there are no planets in taurus at the moment. And I do believe it will be this way until Jupiter leaves Scorpio later in the year. Things are a bit frustrating for most fixed signs right now. I know. But it's good because I see it as something that will break things/old habits/feelings that need to be broken. And strengthen things that aren't meant to die. Fixed signs can be pretty forceful once focused on something. And we may not see the effects of this until next year.....

Homies, there is always something good that comes out of hard 🙂

That can mean so many things can't it lol

Hard meaning whatever you are feeling at the moment, going through, any frustrations.....you said you were feeling like a Cancer right now. Which I am assuming means emotional.
