Sun in Leo: The Return of The King
While writing this, “The Lion King” Simba’s question plays on repeat in my head: “This is my Kingdom. If I won’t fight for it, who will?” which is a powerful metaphor for “This is my life. If I won’t steer it into a direction I want, who will?”
Sometimes we don’t want to believe (or see) how much we have neglected ourselves and our own needs, until the Sun moves into Leo and finally knocks some sense into us. Our “bump” can be small or big, depending on our starting point and on how much we have lost our own identity, sense of self, ability to create, enjoy life and have fun.
So, how big is your bump?
Mercury in Leo: Express Yourself!
Imagine Mercury as a person.
Eloquent, smart and mischievous type, who loves to talk, learn and speculate. A guy, who knows all the who-is-who and what-is-where. You’ll find him in a brilliant computer hacker, in a bright hustler or in a charming smuggler who sells cigarettes from the country, which name you cannot even pronounce. Think Loki. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Captain Jack Sparrow.
And now imagine him travelling through 12 different kingdoms - each of them, with a very different and distinctive culture, values, norms and traditions. In some of those places, he’ll thrive and feel like a fish in a water. In others, he’ll feel challenged, bored or misunderstood
Gemini Season: Cosmic Garden Party
If I were to describe the Gemini energy in a social and seasonal context, I would say that it manifests as those sweet, warm, we-are-just-about-to enter-summer evenings, where people traditionally gathered in front of neighbors’ houses for an evening tea (or something stronger), to talk and exchange information.
Imagine that these are the times pre-Internet and TV, so the only form of entertainment and a way of getting information is other people…
Taurus Season: A Time to Try “Slow Living”
In a world where many of us have been trained to go for things that bring instant gratification, Taurus energy will temper “I want it all and I want it now” attitude, in favor of “I just want to take it nice and slow”.
Taurus energy is slow and steady but once it gets going, it can go all day long (and all night, as a matter of fact ;)). Now it’s time to commit to a project that you would normally put aside as it just “takes too long” and requires time and patience.
