Moon in Leo
When you are relaxed and most yourself you are the epitome of largesse … regal, generous, smiling benevolently on your kingdom, acting every inch the king or queen. You bask in the positive attention of your “subjects” and enjoy being a person of heroic proportions, bigger than life, maybe a bit better than everyone else (come on, now, admit it) and always ready to give advice, encouragement and approval in exchange for nothing less than abject adoration.
Many of you were the extreme favorite of a parent or grandparent or “special” as being the first born son or a child born after one who didn’t live. Some of you were conceived to tie the marriage together or to keep it from breaking apart. With all this comes extreme psychological pressure. It’s like a blessing that becomes a curse until you wake from the fairy tale.
Your mantra is, “I’m good.” What stresses you the most is being caught off guard or unprepared. If your greatest desire is to always look good, your greatest irritation is getting caught without your makeup (or mask) on. Nothing is more guaranteed to drive you through the roof. You will remain out of sorts for a long time after. For example, suppose you have the stage set for Thanksgiving dinner, guests invited for 2:30 … and … someone arrives at noon! You’d never get over it, so fragile is your ego and so much are you “on stage”. Lights, camera, action – you need all that attention – but not until you’ve memorized your lines, rehearsed and got your costume on.
When you are pressured, stressed or frightened you act like a petty tyrant. All of a sudden you’re His or Her Majesty and have a list of ridiculous “entitlements” that would make everyone around you laugh out loud if they weren’t so intimidated by your pouty temper tantrums. A tempest in a teapot all to hide your shame and embarrassment at not being able to perform.
