And the Fifth Door opens…

After secur­ing your foun­da­tions, embrac­ing the Self at your cen­ter in the time of Can­cer, Spir­it must move out now so to release, express and stretch itself in “per­for­mances” of cre­ativ­i­ty, lead­er­ship and love. Yes, that’s right… it is Leo’s time to shine in your life.

The time of Can­cer was a time for “feel­ing”; you were immersed in the “waters of life” so that you could feel your­self whole again. Your life was cen­tered upon home, fam­i­ly and the roots of your being. Now you are back in Fire; you must move out upon the stage of life with “emo­tion”. You must move out from the with­in. You must “per-form” (act through an appro­pri­ate vehi­cle or form); you must choose your stage to act upon and a role to per­form through.

What you seek…is acknowl­edge­ment, that you are what you are…“I am that, I am!”

You need to be rec­og­nized, you need to be appre­ci­at­ed and you need respect. But, of course, the strug­gle and answer is always with­in you.

You want recog­ni­tion, but you must first see yourself.

You want appre­ci­a­tion, but you must first val­ue yourself.

You want respect, but you must first respect yourself.

Wher­ev­er Leo is in your own chart, there you will always seek to shine, to project, to real­ize your­self in some­thing or some­one. Now is the time to under­stand more about this Leo side of you. Now is your time to shine!

Yes, you do need to expe­ri­ence these emo­tions for your­self, you need to release your­self in dra­mat­ic dis­plays of lead­er­ship, cre­ativ­i­ty and love…but per­haps just as impor­tant to the Spir­it that is with­in, you must hon­or these self­same truth­ways in those that are before you. Set an exam­ple for them to follow…

Under­stand that you do not lead by telling some­one what to do; you lead by help­ing them to believe that they can do it!

Under­stand that your pow­er by which you cre­ate comes through you; you are “mere­ly” a focus­ing lens for its rev­e­la­tion, so be joy­ous, grate­ful and hum­ble in your achievements.

And under­stand that the love you have for your­self is com­plet­ed only by the uncon­di­tion­al love that you bestow on those around you.

Like its ruler, the Sun, Leo is about the release of your true self. It is time to cre­ate authentically…it is time to lead respectfully…it is time to love with all your heart.

Shine on you shin­ning ones!
