Lion Heart

Leo season represent the coming of the high growing time which reflects the abundant generosity of life. Leo is a Fire sign. In astrology, the element of Fire is associated with an ardent and passionate nature, a strong will and enthusiasm. In medical astrology Leo is associated with the heart, aorta, chest, spine, spinal column and upper back.

The key phrase for Leo is “I will”.

Leo represents majesty, power and dignity and the person with a strong leonine signature will be ambitious, courageous, positive, creative, generous and self-confident. The Sun is the planet associated with Leo and without the Sun we would not be here. Which gives us another layer of interpretation for the sign and maybe why some astrologer like to say that Leo people are self-centered! Leo is often compared with the heat or creative energy of the Sun.

I have met a lot of people with Leo on the ascendant (Leo rising) who are performers, actors or involved in some form of creative expression that puts them in the spotlight.

Just like the Sun provides us with life and warmth, the heart at the center of our being provides us with inner guidance, creativity and clarity when we let it shine.

NEW MOON IN LEO

NEW MOON IN LEO
(Sun/Moon conjunction@ 21ºof Leo)

My love!
I have been waiting for this moment
since eternity.
My heart, my power, my sovereignty
revel in the grand masquerade.
A playful drama written by the children
of an impetuous king.

Will you find the courage to be loyal
to yourself, your art and your passion?
Rising proudly on the horizon
each day blessing your kingdom
with the light of an open heart.

Portrait of a Heart by Christian Schloe

Beyond the frontiers of the Mind

You thought you knew because you read it in a book

image
Painting by Quincey Tahoma

The words fed to the masses and traded for faith

The ideas of the prophet translated as memes

Blinding beliefs sold as merchandise

Making profit on the devotees.

Beyond the frontiers of dogma,

there is an unrestrained freedom

but to get there, you have to forget about

the uncivilised freedom of the old school rock star.

What you thought was the truth

is only the beginning of a lie.

Go back to the body, go back to the rhythm of the heart.

Loose yourself in the purifying fires of not knowing with the mind.

Faith is a big word

Freedom is even bigger

The Word distracts you from the truth

into the exquisite pleasures of description.

While the real you sits quietly knowing,

filled with every single spark that shines forth from the Sun.

The teacher shapes you into an anxious contradiction.

A skilled puppet

Who is in charge?

Is it the Donkey or the Spirit Rider
