Sun Enters Leo

Today we mark two shifts in the “Hous­es of the Holy Ones”. The Sun leaves Can­cer and enters Leo, and on the same day Venus turns ret­ro­grade in Leo too. The dance of the plan­ets is shift­ing tunes now, and you should pay atten­tion to the oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges that are pre­sent­ed to you by your com­pan­ions in the stars.

Of course, we must take spe­cial care, and we know that this is true even more than it was before, to con­sid­er what we might encounter in the phys­i­cal weath­er we meet with day after day. And that is why we lean upon and rely upon sci­ence, along with our own intu­ition­al nature, to nav­i­gate the dynam­ic dance of the ener­gy forms that form our ever-chang­ing weath­er pat­terns, and cope as well with the larg­er cli­mate changes we are cer­tain­ly expe­ri­enc­ing now.

But there are many dimen­sions in this uni­verse, and many types of ener­gy-forms that form and shape what we expe­ri­ence here on the Earth. For us, the Dance of the Plan­ets forms the great “Sto­ry of Spir­it”, with our Earth trav­el­ling around the Sun, and then in com­bi­na­tion our plan­e­tary com­pan­ions danc­ing with one anoth­er and with us, they form intri­cate pat­terns of mean­ing and inspi­ra­tion that can guide and inspire us as we walk the path of light which forms our spir­i­tu­al awakening.
One of the prin­ci­pal shapers of our awak­en­ing is the year­ly jour­ney of our Earth around the Sun, as it forms not only one of the pri­ma­ry dri­vers of our phys­i­cal forms of weath­er, but equal­ly forms or informs our spir­i­tu­al-psy­cho­log­i­cal jour­ney of humanity’s awakening.

You have spent the last 30 days with your star mov­ing through the space of Can­cer, and the oppor­tu­ni­ty you met in the first of the Water Signs was to find your way to the cen­ter of you, to tru­ly feel the warm embrace and con­nec­tion with what lies at the heart of you, (and as you go deep­er and deep­er, what lies at the heart of one and all). In hav­ing met with your “self that is your cen­ter”, it is in this time of Leo, and cer­tain­ly some­where always in your own chart too, that you know you must be you. In Leo you strive to release your true self, as you stretch your­self upon the stages of the world, to live and embody the life divine, and reveal to one and to all who you are, which is a cre­ator, a leader and lover of life, as you shine like the star that you are.

Yes, it is in Leo that you stretch into the undis­cov­ered nature of who you might be and become, you attempt a new form of expres­sion, an exten­sion of your­self into new spaces, into new roles, new dances of spir­it, new ways of being “you”. And if you can do it, if you reach that high­er mark, then oth­ers see these gifts of the cre­ator in you and they smile, and they laugh, and yes, it is all about this, they love who you are. Because this is the heart of it, this is what is in your soul and out there now for the world to see too, it is the Spark of the Divine, pure uncon­di­tion­al love made man­i­fest by the cre­ator that is you.

For­ev­er some­where in your chart, and espe­cial­ly at this time of the year, you cel­e­brate the spark of the Divine whose cen­ter is “Every­where” and whose cir­cum­fer­ence is “Nowhere”, for you are one of ones of the One, danc­ing these songs of Spir­it in every step that you take through the won­der that is Creation.

And when you are true to your­self, then you shine like the star that you are, radi­ant with the joy and the love that is your spark of the Divine. But just like the stars in the fir­ma­ment above, your light divine will not, does not, and can­not ever shine alone. You feel this in your heart, and you know this in your soul, that you were made for one anoth­er, and you make one anoth­er who and what you are. So that every one of us is who they are because of the love we have for one anoth­er, for the love we share with one anoth­er, and so you can only be you if you live with love for one another.

For this is the heart of the teach­ing, you are made of love, and you are here quite sim­ply to love one anoth­er. It is in your space of Leo, and always at this time of the year, that you see the won­der in all of the cre­ations of Cre­ation. And what is that? It is the One, the Cre­ator, it is the Divine, which is shin­ing in every­thing and every­one, illu­mined by the Love of the One.
