Sun in Leo with Moon in Cancer and Leo Rising Personality Traits:
With a Leo Sun Cancer Moon, self-acceptance is your greatest gift. Unlike most Leos, you do not feel the compulsion to prove your greatness to the world. You are confident and self-assured, and others think highly of you because you think highly of yourself. All this is enhanced by your acute sensitivity and compassion for others.
Having a Leo Sun Cancer Moon, you are creative, highly emotional, open-minded, and above all imaginative, with the proper motivation you could achieve anything—if you had any ambition. That, unfortunately, is the one thing you lack.
As an individual with a Leo Sun Cancer Moon, because of your unquestioning self-acceptance and lack of inner conflict, you run the risk of settling for far less than you are capable of accomplishing. Since your inner nature is free of many of the hang-ups and much of inner turmoil that plague so many others, you risk adopting an attitude of smug complacency. You’re too easily contented, and that which is pleasing interests you more than that which is rewarding and fulfilling. Thus your potential often lies dormant, and your special talents untapped.
With a Leo Sun Cancer Moon, you are also a very proud individual—both a strength and a weakness. Self-respect reinforces your inner strength to overcome obstacles, but it also leads to arrogance and the inability to humble yourself to learn a craft or develop your talents so they may be successfully explored and expressed. Re-examine your goals in life. Are all your talents really being utilized? Are you involved in an activity or job that will lead to a more secure future?
Having a Leo Sun Cancer Moon, charm, intuition, and subtlety combine to give you excellent business acumen, but your imagination and originality are more suited to creative endeavors—particularly in the field of drama and the visual media. Many Leo Sun Cancer Moon individuals are attracted to religion. And some will find themselves involved in charitable work, spending much time helping the disabled or poor. Leo-Cancers excel as counselors, psychologists, teachers, and in running charitable enterprises.
As an individual with a Leo Sun Cancer Moon, a secure and tranquil domestic life is very important to your overall happiness. As with all natives of Moon in Cancer, you need the comfort and stability of a home base of operations. Family-oriented, you take great pride in your spouse and children.
Highly romantic and idealistic, you know how to give-and-take in love. Your natural curiosity will no doubt lead you through many romantic affairs before you finally choose a partner and settle down. Once you do, however, you are loyal and devoted. And your partner knows that you can be counted on.
Keywords For A Leo Sun Cancer Moon:

Leo Rising
Leo Rising signifies nobility of character, high ideals, and great personal magnetism. If you have Leo rising, you are big-hearted, expansive, benevolent, and kind. You consider it beneath you to stoop to pettiness, grumbling, stinginess, or narrow-mindedness. Because you are so magnanimous in spirit, you find it hard to believe ill of others.
Of course, the world does not always live up to anyone’s expectations, and Leo Rising individuals are puzzled and hurt by meanness and un-generosity. At such times you simply put on your regal air and make sure the underlying knows in what contempt and low esteem he or she is held.
Having Leo Rising, you have a great sense of showmanship. You love to put on lavish displays—whether it is decorating your house with expensive and elegant things or dressing in attention-getting clothes or throwing a splendid dinner party. To less flamboyant types you may appear ostentatious, show-offy, and extravagant. But your showy displays are not only to get attention; you see life in larger-than-life terms and aspire to the highest and the best. This quality draws others to you and, in itself, attracts power and influence.
Leo Rising individuals seem surrounded by luck in money, career, and friendship. You are not an especially hard worker but tend to achieve success through the influence and pull of others. Fame and fortune come to you when you aren’t looking for it.
With Leo Rising, you are efficient at organizing groups of people and inspiring them to give their best. You are happiest in the role of leader. In fact, you feel wounded if your public doesn’t put you in that position.
When not given what you feel is your due, you can turn haughty, temperamental, and arrogant. Leo is the sign of pride, and Leo Rising individuals have this in abundance. You are self-confident and have a resolute faith in yourself.
There is a basic likeableness about you, partly because you give a distinct impression that life is fun. You have a wonderful sense of humor. (Note: Leo Rising individuals have a particularly soft spot for children and spoil them outrageously.)
As a Leo Rising individual, you tend to have a large, beautifully shaped head, thick shining hair, a dazzling smile with bright, even teeth, and a stately bearing. Many of you are benefited by an inheritance later in your lives. Whatever path you choose to follow, you usually emerge on the sunny side of the hill.
The Sun, which rules Leo, is very prominent in your birth chart. The influence of the Sun bestows enthusiasm, generosity, power, warmth, creative self-expression, passion, and courage. It also encourages egotism, arrogance, snobbism, conceit, pomposity, and condescension.
