Leo and Cancer rising: its meaning

Leo and Cancer Ascendant in your horoscope

Your inner self is marked by the sense of honour and loyalty towards yourself as well as towards an idea, a project, or a group. Owing to your Cancer Ascendant, you are reluctant to assert yourself right from the beginning, and you prefer to wait until you find out whether people deserve to discover your true self and your personal world.

However, your Leo Sun finds it difficult to remain impassive whenever it is humiliated. Nevertheless, thanks to Cancer's carefulness, you are capable of waiting for the right time and of choosing the proper means to react. You must be aware that your behaviours sometimes seem fuzzy and enigmatic to your entourage, even though to you, they are totally in line with your inner and often... irrational logic.

Owing to your Leo Sun, your feelings are powerful, and you see the world as an entertaining colourful show in which you play your part in a dramatic fashion, though you do not fool yourself.

Sensitivity and lunar emotions, which are Cancer's attributes, prompt you to remain on the alert when you meet people for the first time and to reveal your protective, yet possessive side only later on. However, do not be too stubborn, demanding or tyrannical.

Your Sun sign is Leo, which means that it is only when people know you well that your Leo traits become obvious. They may be different from your outward appearance, which is influenced by your Ascendant sign.
