The Crab is a different animal and knows it. The Moon travels through the Zodiac once every month, so covers a lot more ground than the others. That is where all those different moods come from. When your ruling planet is in a certain sign and house you're going to feel it and when it only stays there for a few days before moving on, the different effects roll across you like the tides. Gratefully, it's a water sign, so going with the flow comes easily.

The Lion is likewise different and also knows it. With a ruling planet that dominates the sky and makes all others invisible during its daily reign, to say nothing of the fact they revolve around it, it's pretty easy to tell who's royalty and who's not.  Except for the Moon, which can also be seen in the sky during the day, though its light can be occulted by clouds and, granted, it's light is reflected light from the Sun.

So none of this information is new, since we've observed the Sun and Moon our entire lives, yet it somehow explains how these two very different individuals can work out a relationship. Each has a strong sense of who they are, their importance, and have a much more important place in everyone's chart than the others. Personal planets include the Sun, Moon, and the rulers of our Sun Sign and Ascendant. That spreads a lot of energy about on most people's charts, but a Leo or Crab cut that down by one. They are luminaries and they know who they are. This inherent self-esteem allows them to respect one another in spite of their differences and often build a very satisfying relationship. The Crab respects Leo's ego and Leo respects the Crab's moods. With a foundation like that, differences no longer matter and a couple can concentrate on the things that do.
