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
Full Moon in Capricorn: The General accepting his defeat gracefully
For people who are at the very beginning of their astrological explorations, that fact that every New Moon and succeeding Full Moon take place in opposite signs is a bit puzzling. Why New Moon in Aris is followed by Full Moon in Libra? And then, why does it jump back again to New Moon in Taurus, with the lunation in Scorpio two weeks after?
What is this sorcery and who is to blame?
The Moon. The Moon is to blame ;)
Time to close Unfinished Business (Mercury retrogrades into Taurus)
So, I got some good news and then even better news!
Good News: You’ve survived half of Spring’s Mercury Retrograde!
Better News: From today on, you’ve got a second chance to revise matters and decisions you’ve made around last days of April, as Mercury returns to Taurus and is going to revisit all the cosmic spots it has already been travelling through three weeks ago.
