Libra Sun, Leo Moon

Some Libras get pushed around. Not you. You’ll be very gracious about it, you’ll make it look like a party, and you’ll get your way anyway.

Charm with some spine

These signs have a lot in common. Both are sociable, romantic and fond of nice things. Libra’s mind and diplomacy get flair and a sense of authority from the Leo Moon, and your greatest asset tends to be your personality. You’re able to hold a room. You also tend to bring some artistry to everything, even a batch of cookies or a work email.

Libra looks for the middle ground, while Leo may hold out for rather more than its share. So under the tact, there’s a heart that won’t be overlooked. It makes for someone who can bring people together and also lead them somewhere.

Stars in your eyes

Romance is close to a daily necessity for you. Being in love seems to reveal what life is for, and it brings out your noblest self. You may fall in love with that self as much as with the other person, and it may be hard to tell the two apart at first.

This can get heavy for the person on the receiving end. They wanted a date, and they’ve been cast in a great love story. Sooner or later they forget to play the part, or turn out to have a dull job and a messy car, and you can feel affronted and hurt. When wounded, you tend to retreat somewhere private and lick your wounds, without telling anyone what they did.

Down to earth, together

Love gets more fun, oddly, when you stop being so grand about it. Tell the person about your own doubts and small failings, and theirs won’t seem such a shock. Take the trash out together. Sort out the bank statements. It may not feel very romantic, but it’s two real people choosing each other on a Tuesday, and that’s a story worth being in. When you’re hurt, come out of your lair sooner than you’d like, and tell them.
