We welcome the Sun back into its own native house of Leo for the year. In celebration of what we astrologers call a "solar return", here we gift you my solar Leo friends with a look at the lessons a Leo is working through over the course of their lives.
And as we did for Cancer, approximately a month ago, here we look at Solar Leo in terms of the progression [For more info on progressions] which is the natural place that the characteristics of a planet grow into. In this we retain old abilities, while acquiring new "energetic tools" in our tool belts. Always remembering that progressions only come into full play when we make the effort to grow and actively engage in life.
Planets in Leo are naturally progressing first into Virgo then Libra and eventually Scorpio... The sun sign is the easiest progression to follow. A progressed placement may be calculated beginning with the natal chart. For every year a person has been alive you just add exactly 24 hours to the chart you are looking up (even easier, most programs and websites will also do this for you).
For a detailed description on how a progressed chart is calculated please see the explanation in the Cancer article and the article on progressions.
Remember Leo, when we talk about the sun progressing into Virgo, we are not talking about an automatic fore-gone conclusion, but a likely end result of paying attention and actively participating in life.
Ssometimes, we define an idea of ourselves and stubbornly refuse to learn, or just become oblivious to our hearts desire as it evolves. Often we sink into a numb unhappiness that we are barely aware of. The solution? FOCUS ON YOUR PROGRESSIONS!
The first goal of every Leo is to master the realms of Virgo. There is a natural progressive flow from Leo to Virgo from Virgo to Libra, and because of the natural way these flow from one to another one cannot learn the progressions of Libra without first mastering those of Virgo. They really operate as stepping stones in many ways.
So in case it ain't obvious always stop where you left off, and don't ever be limited by ANYTHING! If you feel you have mastered Virgo and it does not appear your progressed sign is yet in Libra, don't worry keep learning, the progression represents a rough approximation of what someone is likely to have been able to accomplish. Challenge yourself, just remember to take it one step at a time! There is always a new skill to acquire a new fabulous way of doing things!
SO, noble Leo, as we enter into your solar returns, (birthday to the uninitiated) let me offer you some thoughts!
First love everything about who you are.
Then : Learn to analyze from a simple practical point of view. Love the order of a straight line, and the elegance of the notion of intellectual and constructed perfection. Embrace a focus on personal health and fitness. Embrace speaking softly and straight to the point. These are the lessons of Virgo.
Next: Learn to negotiate. Learn to plan for no winners and no losers. Find what it means to create a good solution for the "USes" in general rather than the us and them's or the me and hims. Learn to feel light and graceful. These are the lessons of Libra.
Next: Learn to claim personal power by facing shadows, and refusing to give away our power. Seize your emotional strength through emotional responsibility and holding the line on where you place the trust of your heart. Love fiercely. These are the lessons of Scorpio.
If you have gotten far enough in your personal growth to need the next step after Scorpio, you deserve at least enough of a break to weight for the beginning of Virgo and my blog on her progressions!
Good luck, great growth and much much much Love!
