Moon in Leo in the Eleventh House

In the magnetic, flamboyant sign of Leo, the Moon’s power is positive and robust, and even its dark side is less dark than in other signs. Leo is a wonderful placement for the Moon because it gives great warmth and stability to the Moon’s influence; it also imparts an idealistic quality. If you have your Moon in Leo you have strong emotions and can be reached through your heart rather than your head. Having your Moon in Leo, you are a quick and accurate learner when your feelings are involved. But if a subject does not arouse your affections, you have no interest in exploring it further. The sensory impressions you receive from the world around you come to you on an emotional level. With your Moon in Leo, in order to make you change your mind, someone first has to change how you feel.

As an individual with your Moon in Leo, one of your most striking characteristics is a refusal to be hampered by other people’s rules. You tend to be extremely intelligent and are hospitable to new ideas, but you have little sympathy for petty or narrow thinking. Having your Moon in Leo, you like to be the center of attention and enjoy taking on public roles. You are highly expressive, and are especially drawn to the world of theater, music, painting, and the arts. In a way, it might be said that you, like all Moon in Leo individuals, have a “show biz” personality.

With your Moon in Leo, you possess a wonderful sense of humor and great personal charm, which makes you fun to be with. There is a sense of excitement about you. If nothing is happening that is interesting or amusing, you’ll try to create it. Sincere, open, very sociable, you have a way of lifting the spirits of people around you.

Moon in Leo individuals work very well in group enterprises because they have a talent for inspiring people to do their best. Your immediate reaction to a problem is to confront it rather than sit around moping about it. Being a natural leader, you often feel you have a mission in life. Sometimes you may become bossy and overbearing – you are an order-giver rather than an order-taker – but at heart you are so cheerful and enthusiastic that people find it easy to forgive you. Having your Moon in Leo, you have a fund of optimism and energy that others draw upon.

Having your Moon in Leo, vanity is your chief weakness; you are a sucker for anyone who can deliver an artful compliment. You always need an audience and are inordinately fond of attention. It must also be said that you will probably get more than your share of attention because your Moon in Leo imparts a lovable quality to your personality.

As an individual with your Moon in Leo, you are drawn to the luxuries of life – good food, fine wines, and striking clothes. You are an excellent host or hostess who delights in giving glittering parties. Unless Taurus or Capricorn is prominent in your chart, a Moon in Leo will always pick up the check. Fortunately, you usually are able to pay for your extravagant tastes.

In love, with your Moon in Leo, you are a great romantic, yet your flamboyant romanticism would never be sparked by someone who won’t make you look good. You need a partner who sets you off to best advantage and keeps up your image to the world. Your tendency is to put the object of your affection on a pedestal, to credit a lover with superlative virtues that may have no basis in reality. For the Moon in Leo, when a lover does not live up to your expectations you are disappointed – not only because you take love seriously but because your lover always becomes an extension of yourself, and his or her failure to be wonderful is very wounding to your pride and ego. Also, with your Moon in Leo, though you have a tendency to be jealous and possessive toward your loved ones, you yourself are flirtatious and a bit of a rover because you need everyone to admire you. You are an attention addict.

The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.

Moon in the 11th House:

The Moon in the 11th House placement affords you a social avenue through which you can constructively channel your emotional needs and drives. It also suggests that you are likely to be a warm, caring person (conditioned, of course by your Moon sign), at home in a group situation and committed to social justice. Having your Moon in the 11th House, you may find yourself in the role of “group mother” (or “father”), providing the care-giving energy that keeps a group cohesive and committed to each other.  Your own identification with a group is likely to be high, especially if your connection to the group is based on family, ethnic or historical ties.

With your Moon in the 11th House, if you become active in social causes, you are likely to pour emotional energy into your efforts and feel personally committed to the cause. The primary danger of such intense and emotional group involvement is that you may not have the emotional energy left to share with your own family or to provide yourself with emotional “down time.”

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be so bonded and attached to your identification with your group, that you lose your own sense of personal identity. In essence, you merge your identity into the group identity so that the group consciousness becomes your own subconscious, in a sense. With your Moon in the 11th House, your attachment to the group results in your own attitudes and behavior being conditioned by the group.

As an individual with your Moon in the 11th House, your behavior is very vulnerable to domination by peer pressure, for you cannot see yourself going against the group or leaving it. The group has become your family. You will do anything to remain a part of the group and retain the group’s approval.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 11th House, your emotional development is likely to have been nurtured by group and peer influences during your early years. Having your Moon in the 11th House, your interaction with peer groups and group members, the dynamics of your emotional attachment to the group, and your reaction to the attitudes and actions that the group takes toward you are often the vehicles through which you further develop your emotional capabilities and patterns. At a later stage in life, it is not uncommon for your emotional involvement and attachments to be bound up with your relations and attitudes toward the larger society in which you live. You may also experience emotional development in connection with thinking about or planning for the future.
