Okay, so the other day I was messing around with my birth chart, you know, just for fun. I’m a Leo sun, which I totally feel – I love being the center of attention, haha. But then I saw I’m an Aquarius moon, and I was like, “Huh, that’s interesting.” I’ve always felt this pull between wanting to be in the spotlight and also needing my own space and independence.

So, I started digging into it. First, I just googled “Leo sun Aquarius moon” to see what would pop up. I found some basic descriptions, stuff about being creative, a bit rebellious, and having a strong sense of individuality. It kinda resonated, but I wanted to go deeper.
My Little Experiment
Then I decided to track my moods and behaviors for a week. I grabbed a notebook and just jotted down how I was feeling throughout the day, what I was doing, and who I was interacting with. Nothing fancy, just quick notes like “Felt super energized after brainstorming with the team” or “Needed to be alone after that big family dinner.”
- Monday: Started the week strong, leading a project at work. Felt confident and in my element.
- Tuesday: Spent the evening working on a personal art project. Total flow state, lost track of time.
- Wednesday: Big social event. Loved being around people, but started feeling drained after a few hours.
- Thursday: Craved solitude. Went for a long walk by myself and felt so much better.
- Friday: Had a deep conversation with a friend about social issues. Felt fired up and passionate.
- Saturday: Bounced between wanting to hang out with friends and wanting some “me” time.
- Sunday: Ended up finding the blance of connection and aloneness by inviting friends over for boardgames.
After the week, I looked back at my notes. I noticed some clear patterns. The Leo sun was obvious – I thrived in situations where I could shine, share my ideas, and connect with others. But the Aquarius moon was also there, loud and clear. I needed those moments of solitude to recharge. I was drawn to unconventional ideas and cared deeply about making a difference. I valued my independence and didn’t like feeling boxed in.
It was like a lightbulb moment! Understanding this sun-moon combo helped me see why I am the way I am. It’s not about being contradictory; it’s about balancing these different energies. I can be a social butterfly who also needs her alone time. I can be a passionate leader who also marches to the beat of her own drum. And that’s perfectly okay!
I am embracing both sides of the coin more!
