Moon in Leo: the fourth house for Taurus rising

Every Taurus-rising chart has Leo on the 4th house, the house of home, mother, property and inner peace and an angle (kendra). Leo adds warmth, pride and a desire to be seen. The Moon is itself a natural significator of this house, which doubles the emphasis. The Moon also has directional strength (dig bala) in the 4th.

It is at ease here. For the Moon, brightness matters as much as sign: a waxing or near-full Moon (born in Shukla paksha, away from the Sun) gives these results generously, while a dark Moon near the Sun gives them more quietly and with more fluctuation.
