I tend to be self-centered and sometimes impulsive, but never dramatic.

It took me a long time (44 years) to learn to stop and censor myself before blurting out the truth or whatever came to mind. You just have to really practice thinking about consequences before acting. The thoughts may never go away, but at least you can learn to control it.

I agree with X88. You may never get the upper hand on it. How we are with the Leo moon is well, just how we are and our attitude quite often is "take it or leave it." However as I get older I often will tell my other how I am and what I expect from the getgo in order to alleviate some of the confusion should it go there. It is more them who has to know if they can deal with it. Now there is also that borderline of picking and choosing the things you get upset over. I think that's where I am. it's just something that comes with age and experience. Most will accept you for how you are so long as you aren't completely unreasonable. You just have to learn when to bite your tongue. Alcohol doesn't help lol

*old, wise asian man voice*
the committed mind can rise above its astrological inclinations

maybe learn some relaxation techniques (as far as is impulsiveness is concerned)
and try hanging around laid back or altruistic people, in the hopes their energy/mindset will rub off on you

I have this placement and wish I could be less self centered, dramatic and impulsive. Anyone have tips on how to tame this moon?

I have this placement also but it's tempered quite a bit by my Scorp placements. The only thing you can do is to think before you act/speak until it becomes a habit to temper yourself.

I feel that way very often and I hate it. I feel like it overpowers the Aqua in me, not sure how to tame it. 😢

My man is aqua sun/leo moon.

I was very worried when I first realized he had this moon placement as ive had nothing but bad experiences with leos.

However...hes very affectionate with me, a gentlemen, protective and warm (things I never got from past leo men)

Need to learn more about this placement though

Thank you all!

Learning how to temper this moon and slowing down to think how something sounds before I speak is very important. Almost like less is more. I find that when I do, I make such a stronger impact.

moon in Leo. They are very loving, warm, affectionate, protective to their other half. so why change? I would say is the best love experience in a relationship.

We are very loving individuals unless you are the type to play manipulative games to your favor, you aren't genuine or you take advantage. The other side o the coin is if the above takes place we can be fairly nasty very fast and it's not pretty at all.

It's ok sometimes but conflicts with my Aqua Rising. Makes me seem and feel awkward at first. Reserved but really warm underneath.

Leo Moons just want to be around positivity and friendliness. I find it hard to connect with Cap moons and Aqua moons that are usually more negative and cold.

The Leo moon/rising I'm dating doesn't seem particularly ego driven or self centred. I'd say he's the total opposite. Quite humble and self effacing. He's reasonably confident and knows who he is but I wonder if there's a little insecurity in there which lowers the overall Leo shine. I think I was expecting a bit more pizazz on account of the moon placement and a Venus Aries/Merc but he has a Taurus Sun. I actually like that he's not a cocky little shit! I do agree with the other comments about being affectionate and protective etc. It's a really nice, warm quality. He's very focused on me and kind of had that 'what's a girl like you doing with me' thing but not in a sad or insecure way. I just don't think he realised that pretty much everything he has done so far has ticked my boxes so to speak. He's just been himself. He's continued to communicate every day. Initated the first call. Asked me out and continued to ask me out for the next six dates. Never left me wondering or hanging or questioning anything. Took the initiative and booked things. Took care of stuff, paid for meals/cinema - I've cooked a few times. Basically, he's not been a total retard like many others have been! That counts for loads in my book. Makes him much more attractive. I've told him all this and more. He seemed surprised and I thought to myself 'seriously fella, have you any idea of the total shit out there in the dating world!!' Hopefully it will help his confidence a bit! Anyway, I'm rambling now...
