Two fixed signs at close range
Leo and Scorpio are both fixed, and they sit at a square to each other, so you have immense staying power and a real inner tension. A Scorpio Moon reads motives by gut feeling. Leo has the nerve to step forward and act on what it’s read. Together they tend to want authority, and they usually have the tools for getting it. Once you’ve decided, it’s very hard to stop you.
You also tend to run hotter than you show. Most days you know yourself well enough not to blow up, though the effort of holding it in is itself part of your intensity.
Loyal, private, and a little testing
Your loyalty is enormous and so is your passion. You may find, though, that you hold a double standard without quite noticing. You want complete faithfulness and openness from your partner while fiercely protecting your own freedom and keeping a few locked rooms of your own.
A calm stretch can make you restless, so you might stir something up to see what happens, or test whether someone will stay. Jealousy isn’t typical of Leo, but this Moon can bring it. It’s worth saying clearly that wanting closeness never makes it okay to monitor, control or frighten someone, and if you’re on the receiving end of that, it’s not a matter of astrology.
The stronger move
Oddly, the thing that makes you feel weakest helps most: admitting you feel helpless and out of control at times, and telling one trusted person so. Share a secret you’d normally keep, and notice that nothing terrible follows. When suspicion rises, let Leo’s bigger nature answer it. Ask directly, believe the answer unless you have a real reason not to, and let it go.
