Aquarius Sun, Leo Moon, Capricorn Rising
The Starlit Water Bearer, with Capricorn at the front door.
Friends with everyone, owned by no one
A Sun in Aquarius makes you an original. You come alive around new ideas, good causes and people who think differently. You want to be seen as independent, forward-thinking and true to your own principles, even when that puts you slightly outside the crowd.

With the Moon in Leo, your feelings are warm, generous and meant to be seen. You light up when you are appreciated, and you love making other people feel special too. Pride runs deep, so being overlooked stings more than you usually let on.

Capricorn Rising gives you a composed, capable first impression. You approach life seriously and strategically, with an eye on long-term goals. People often assume you are older or more senior than you are, and then discover your very dry sense of humor.
More on Capricorn RisingHow the three combine
Your Sun, Moon and Rising sit in three different elements: air for who you are becoming, fire for what you need, and earth for how you meet the world. People who know one side of you may not recognize the others, and that range is one of your strengths.
Two of the three are fixed signs, so your default is to keeps things going.
Your Sun and Moon: The Starlit Water Bearer
Aquarius and Leo are opposites, so your Sun and Moon form a full moon pairing: air and fire, group and self. Both are fixed signs, which makes you loyal and determined. The Aquarius Sun wants to be part of something bigger, a cause or a community. The Leo Moon needs recognition, warmth and a bit of applause. You organize the event for everyone and hope, a little, that someone thanks you in the speech. Your style is distinctive and your ideals are strong. Friends meet the cool thinker and the warm performer, often in the same evening.
Capricorn Rising in front of it
People tend to take you seriously right away. You carry yourself with quiet authority and speak with care. Strangers read you as competent, reserved and possibly in charge; new coworkers may ask you questions you have no official reason to answer. You come across as trustworthy. Some find you hard to approach at first, until a well-timed deadpan joke breaks the ice.
Rising and Sun: Neighboring signs, 30 degrees apart. Different elements and a different pace: each holds something the other has just left behind.
Rising and Moon: Five signs apart, 150 degrees. Almost nothing in common by element or pace, so every bit of understanding is learned, and it sticks.
People see someone steady and in control. Inside, you may feel the weight of expectations more than you show, and you can doubt yourself while looking completely sure. The serious front protects a softer, funnier person. Letting people see you be silly, or admitting you are tired, often brings you closer to them.
