Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing lately, and I wanted to document my “experiment” with understanding my own sun and moon signs. My sun is in Leo, and my moon is in Aquarius. Sounds like a party, right? Well, kinda. Let’s just get into what I did.
First Steps: Gathering Intel
First, I grabbed my birth chart. Needed that birth time, date, and location – the whole shebang. You gotta have all that stuff to do a birth chart, which is the key for all of this. I just remember punching in all my info to get a snapshot of where all the planets were when I popped into existence.
Sun in Leo: The Performer Emerges
Okay, so the Leo sun part? I totally get that. I love being the center of attention. I enjoy performing and sharing. No shocker there. Leos are supposed to be all about drama, creativity, and warmth, and honestly, that rings pretty true for me. I definitely feel that pull to express myself, and I’m not shy about it. I’d even say I have always felt this way.
Moon in Aquarius: The Rebel Yells
Now, the Aquarius moon was where things got interesting. This is supposed to represent your emotional side, your inner world. And Aquarius is all about being independent, a bit quirky, and maybe even a little detached. So, I started observing myself. How did I actually react to things emotionally? This took some real introspection.

- Noticed I crave alone time. Like, a lot. I thought this was a contradition to my leo sun, but it’s the moon.
- Realized I’m drawn to anything unconventional. Normal is boring, the more outside the box thinking and doing the better.
- Observed that I value my friendships intensely, but I also need space from them. So important.
Putting the Pieces Together
So, how do these two seemingly opposite signs play together? It’s like this constant internal push and pull. I want to be seen and appreciated (Leo sun), but I also need to be my own unique, individual self (Aquarius moon). It can be confusing, it makes me feel like two different people at times.
For example, I might throw a big, extravagant party (Leo), but then I might disappear for a few days afterward to recharge in solitude (Aquarius). Or I might pour my heart out on stage (Leo), but then struggle to express my deeper feelings one-on-one (Aquarius). It took me a while to really understand how these differences are both a part of me.
The Ongoing Experiment
This isn’t some “one and done” kind of thing. I’m still learning and observing. I’m trying to be more mindful of my reactions and how these two energies are mixing it up inside me. It’s a process, a journey, whatever you want to call it. But I’m finding it all very, very interesting.
I think the key is to embrace both sides. To let my Leo shine and my Aquarius freak flag fly, so to speak. It’s about finding that balance between wanting connection and needing independence. And honestly, it’s kind of fun figuring it all out, like my own personal puzzle.
