Leo is the sign which rules how we express and project our Intent into
the world. In the astroshamanic circle Leo is placed midway between
the South and West Directions. Through the alignment to Leo we playfully learn
to connect with our Intent and radiate our unique creative ways.
The Leo cycle is
a time of exposure, of standing in the light of the Sun and being on stage,
releasing timidity and gleaming out one’s potential. It is about claiming your
veritable Intent and confidently exalting your authentic solar Function in the world,
regardless of whether this may appear as arrogant or preposterous.
This solar
Function does not refer to the perception of consensus reality. It refers to
your spontaneous nature as it was originally conceived. It merely expresses who
you are and have always been.
To human separated perception, including that
derived from spiritual conditioning, taking on and expressing your true power
is the embodiment of megalomania and an act devoid of humility.
Yet, as A Course in Miracles reads, “the ego
does not understand humility, mistaking it for self-debasement. Humility
consists of accepting your role in salvation and in taking no other. It is not
humility to insist you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function
God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this function
cannot be for you, and arrogance is always of the ego.”[i]
Leo is concerned with the appearance rather than the content. This means that
what I display outward is more important than what I believe it is happening in
my self-consciousness. If I fully embrace my ecstatic vision, and exhibit it
with enthusiasm and trust, no matter what seems to occur at an inner level,
this is the message that I will deliver to the environment.
In this sense Leo
is a master in the art of acting, which is indeed one of the basic pillars of
the Western shamanic traditions. Leo governs the unbending resolution to
accomplish your highest aspirations.
Hence, when Leo is shining in the sky there are major
opportunities to boost your confidence in the areas that are truly significant
for you, to face life with creativity and power.
