Your time in Can­cer is at an end,

Where you swam in the sacred waters of your origins,

And felt the lumi­nous truth that is shin­ing there, the root of you, there in your heart.

You have touched your truer “self”; and you must heed the inspi­ra­tion that now arises…

Your need is to release this “you”, and shine through ever more dis­tinc­tive acts of self-realization.

Of course, you are tru­ly made by all the Zodi­a­cal Signs; your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty comes from your indi­vid­u­at­ed and so unique­ly artic­u­lat­ed com­bi­na­tion of them all. For The Sacred Twelve are ever present and active in the entire­ty of Cre­ation. These “Liv­ing Ones” are the Ener­gy-Forms behind all the dimen­sions of this uni­verse; they are the “lumi­nous pres­ence” at every lev­el, from the very High­est and rang­ing down into every mon­ad that abides at the core of each spark of Life-Consciousness-Spirit.

Yet it is also true that the Winds of Spir­it swirl through the sea­son­al vari­a­tions of the Earth’s jour­ney around your Star, so that every month this source of Light and Love illu­mines anoth­er facet of the Twelve-Fold radi­ance by which you make your way out of the dark­ness and into your joy­ful awak­en­ing by self-illumination.

Your jour­ney takes you from your begin­nings as a divine spark, as an un-self-con­scious, self-unfold­ing enti­ty cycling through count­less worlds, forms and lives to arrive at the final ini­ti­a­tion, your Apoth­e­o­sis as a ful­ly awak­ened divin­i­ty. The key to that self-awak­en­ing lies in your mas­tery of the Twelve, and so you must endeav­or, again and again, to bring forth the splen­dor that is your burn­ing, bright artic­u­la­tion of the celes­tial har­mo­ny, the song of spir­it that is “you”.

The Wheel of Life turns, and the Waters of Can­cer yield to the Fire that is Leo. Where­as the Fire of Aries is about learn­ing the les­son of “Pres­ence”, the realm of Leo is about learn­ing the les­son of “Per­for­mance”. The Fire of Leo is the Fire of Cre­ation; it is the release of the ener­gy surg­ing out of the expe­ri­ence in Can­cer, com­ing from the core of you. Leo is about Lead­er­ship, it is about Creativity…and of course, Leo is real­ly all about Love.

The release of your pow­er must be expressed through an ade­quate and mean­ing­ful form. You can find and engage these right vehi­cles of self-real­iza­tion when you have more tru­ly met your “self” at your cen­ter. Then your Cre­ativ­i­ty, and your Lead­er­ship and your Love will be Authen­tic, Respect­ed and Appre­ci­at­ed by your fel­low companions.

As you draw ever clos­er to your truth, to your inner or “high­er self”, you release your Cre­ativ­i­ty in a man­ner in which it reveals not only the dis­tinc­tive unique­ness that is “you”, but it is also expe­ri­enced by your fel­low com­pan­ions to be more mean­ing­ful to them, for you have giv­en sub­stance to what is found at the core of one and all.

When you Lead with right inten­tion, set­ting an exam­ple for oth­ers by your con­duct and bear­ing, you inspire in oth­ers to find that same noble bear­ing too. For we do not need “lead­ers” telling us what to do; we need lead­ers who inspire each and every one of us to believe in our­selves and encour­age us to be that bet­ter per­son too.

And when you have met the Eter­nal Love shin­ing there with­in your­self, then you are able to turn and shine this Love upon the world; you become and express true, self­less love to those before you too. True Love is what it is…Unconditional. By this you open the way for oth­ers to draw clos­er to their true Self, so that they too may feel the uncon­di­tion­al love that has always been there with­in them, and they can respond in kind and return their uncon­di­tion­al love to you. This expe­ri­ence of the fullest mea­sure of Love, this is the heart and soul of Leo.

There is very great divide between a true Cre­ator-Leader-Lover and those who, hav­ing not met their truer nature in their heart, attempt to gain the atten­tion, respect and love of oth­ers. Their cre­ation will seem “off” to them­selves as well as their “audi­ence”, for it does orig­i­nate from their self but from ego; their lead­er­ship more of a “com­mand” or demand of respect, for they lack true self-respect; and their form of love behind it all is twist­ed into nar­cis­sism or neg­a­tive self-love. Instead of being self-illu­mined “stars” they become like “black holes”, draw­ing all ener­gy to them­selves and offer­ing noth­ing in return.

For those who have come that much clos­er to their true self, their “song of spir­it” is a cel­e­bra­tion of the truth that we are here to be dis­tinc­tive. A per­son who moves through expe­ri­ences with dis­tinc­tive respons­es reveals their self and true nature, they are rec­og­niz­ably who and what they are. Tak­ing from the palette of their Soci­ety and Cul­ture, they stretch them­selves into ever more dis­tinct forms of that way of life…They become a one among many ones and inspire one and all.

Where­as, those who have not aligned with their heart split the world into “alike­ness” and “dif­fer­ence”, and unwit­ting­ly fos­ter a world based on sep­a­r­a­tive­ness, a world that is divid­ed into “us” and “them”. They wrap them­selves in their neg­a­tive self-love, and find fault, allo­cate blame and cre­ate scape­goats from those not like them…this is the result of their mas­ter illu­sion, the illu­sion of separation.

To be dis­tinct means to be cen­tered upon Truth, Char­ac­ter and Uncon­di­tion­al Love; to be dif­fer­ent comes from the untruth of sep­a­ra­tion and iso­la­tion, and leads to soli­tude, fear and hate.

Con­sid­er the great exem­plars of human­i­ty, the life sto­ries of all great teach­ers and what they taught, but even more in how they revealed and embod­ied that truth in their con­duct. Whether you look to Con­fu­cius, Bud­dha, Lao Tzu, Pythago­ras, Jesus or many oth­er great souls, and tru­ly to the many more count­less ones whose labors of love remain in the back­ground, all great souls abide with a self-lumi­nous qual­i­ty of being Hum­ble, they are filled with the grace of Humility.

Why is this so? In the encounter with the true nature of one­self, you come to know and so expe­ri­ence that the core of you is of the One, and that this is the true Foun­tain-Source of Uncon­di­tion­al Love. It is the same One who is every­where and fills all the spaces of Space with this Love too. It is this radi­ant real­i­ty of Uncon­di­tion­al Love that fills your own heart with humil­i­ty and your mind with peace. You are one with the One; you are love. You look with­in and real­ize the awe­some nature of the great truth, “I am That, I am”, and equal­ly real­ize that this truth is true for one and all. You bow your head and bend your knee as your soul soars…

So, in this time of Leo…and at all times too…be what you are to be:

Cre­ate, Lead and Love.

But always remem­ber, your ori­gin is your destiny,

You are one of the ones of the One.

Bow your head to the one before you…

And to all of this Cre­ation too…

Live what you know, say what you see…

I am That, I am.

”Namaste”.
