FAQ

Are Libra and Leo a good long-term match?

Yes—especially with supportive Saturn links and clear decision protocols. Their natural Sun–Sun sextile (by sign) offers enduring compatibility if they keep praise flowing and agreements explicit.

What if our Moons clash?

Use language that meets the need underneath: Leo Moons want heartfelt appreciation; Libra Moons want fairness and calm. Add weekly check-ins and practice specific appreciations to neutralize rough aspects like Moon square Sun.

How do we handle jealousy and flirting?

Define “friendly” vs. “flirty,” set social boundaries, and offer proactive reassurance. If Neptune contacts are strong, avoid ambiguity—name expectations and confirm them in writing.
