Moon in Leo Storyteller
A Vibrant Storyteller
The moon is a satellite that functions much like a planet. It represents emotion, memories, introspection/reflection, perception, nurture, growth, and imagination. Because of this, it will influence how we tell stories. The moon doesn't necessarily tell stories in the methodical way (like Mercury would); the moon reflects the more emotional or subjective part of story telling which is based upon our perceptions of the world or how we wish the world was. Leo is the sign of the lion representing pride, confidence, dignity, drama, and attention. Leo is ruled by the sun, which is a star that represents the ego, pride, recognition, respect, and leadership. Leo is a fixed sign which means it is stable by nature and it is a fire sign which means it is energetic. It is also an extroverted sign, which means it expresses itself more overtly.
