The Difference Between Leo Sun & Moon...
|
The sun sign is more apparent to others, while the moon sign is felt more on the inside.
This makes a Leo sun a more shallow, outward representation of the sign than the Leo moon, which has more depth and is felt more on the inside. Prod a Leo sun. Antagonize them, and challenge them. Unless you are an obvious threat, it takes some effort to get a reaction from them. First, they will assume you're being playful or just kidding. Press them harder. You'll see a seriousness develop in their eyes. Press harder yet, and finally, they roar. Try this with a Leo moon, and notice the difference in reaction time. The Leo moon doesn't mess around. They react quickly. The defensive, self-protective nature of the moon in the sign symbolized by the greatest predator in the world, is a temperamental match. The Leo moon senses a threat and their hunter mentality conquers it instantly. It's like the difference between the male and female lion. The Leo moon is the female lion and the Leo sun is the male lion. The male lion assumes his stature and presence alone is enough to fend off threats. It's like the male lion is saying, "Just look at me. I'm awesome. Do you really want to mess with me?" They're mostly show. They spend most of their time sleeping or trying to have sex with females.

They fight to fend off threats, but bottom line, this is usually to stop other males from stealing their females. The female lion, on the other hand, has to hunt and kill to feed the pride and fend off predators that want to kill her cubs. So yes, she may be a little more on edge than her male lion peers.
As the moon is the more authentic version of a sign than the sun, the female lion is the real deal of the lion world. She is tough and serious. The male lion appears tough, and when he is pushed, he is. Yet, in the day-to-day life of the lion, the female gets things done and provides for the pride. Conversely, the male lion puts on a good show. He struts around with his big mane assuming other animals will fear him, and they usually do. But, he wears his mane like the Leo sun wears its sign. The sun puts on a good show, but the moon is where the real action is.
The energy of the Leo moon is louder, more intense and more serious than the energy of the Leo sun. The Leo sun has a nonchalant way of assuming things will work out to its benefit. The Leo moon is on guard to make sure of it!
