LEO THE LION – THE LORE OF ASTROLOGY

LEO ZODIACAL DEITY

 

“I Am That and That Am I”

“Leo has been identified with “The King” or life giver. The symbolism of the lion is that of the life-giving Father, the Spirit, and its nature is of the center or the heart, through which all energy flows, and the life-force emanates.

Presently, Leo may be considered the most important fire sign of the Zodiac. From Leo comes solar fire, the fire we associate with soul consciousness, the fire of higher mind. The Sun is the ruler of Leo ~ exoterically, esoterically and hierarchically. Leo keynotes are individuality and true self-consciousness.”

***

“It is in Leo that the human becomes the “five-pointed star,” for that star stands as the symbol of individualization, of humanity, of the human being who knows themself to be an individual and becomes aware of themself as the Self. We begin to use the words, “I,” “my” and “mine.” In this sign the individual begins the cycle of experience wherein they acquire knowledge and develop the lower mind for their own benefit, needing to be recognized for their deeds and accomplishments.”

***

One must know oneself through true self-awareness.

“Once we realize that The Divine Spirit is the True Self, we consciously become one with all humanity. The outstanding theme of Leo is the activity of the self-conscious person in relation to their environment or the development of sensitive response to surrounding impacts by the One Who Stands at the Center of its Little Universe. Leo and its influences can be summed up in the word sensitivity, and this sensitivity can be studied in four stages:

1. Physical Sensitivity to the influences and impacts coming from the external environment. As we become conscious we begin to view the sensory impact of the environment upon the physical body, emotions and mind from a place of detachment. Leo at this stage serves to solidify, “fixate,” or bring such responses together.

2. Sensitivity to the Will, Wishes, and Urgings of this integrated self-conscious lower self. In essence, it is here that the Soul becomes a self-motivating entity.

3. Sensitivity to the Soul’s response to life. At this stage, the Soul is “fixed” as a mediator between the Creative Fire of the Spirit and the physical world we live in.

4. Sensitivity to the Right Use of the Spiritual Will is of paramount importance. When through Leo one has developed to a point of being a “liberated” person, freedom from the oppressive karma of the lower self is achieved. We can then begin to transform the outer environment into the proper vehicle for the expression of the Inner Plan. By cultivating sensitivity to the higher impacts of those worlds which lead to the Purpose of Divinity, we accomplish our final goal through World Service.

We must have an Inner Spiritual Sensitivity and an Outer Material Sensitivity in order to truly understand the influences of Leo upon humanity and upon this planet. Throughout the universe, it is the Soul which is the conscious, sensitive theme of the Divine Plan, the Soul animating all forms of life.”

The Archetype of LEO

BY LIVING SPIRIT COMMUNITY

“One level and conditioning from Leo includes the motivation for dramatic expression of the personality. This expression includes being courageous, loyal and ambitious. Leo helps us to stamp our own ego upon the world while the same time being generous, optimistic, confident and magnetic. Driven to be a benevolent dictator, Leo’s influence instills a chivalrous, magnanimous, sympathetic and idealistic approach in exerting willpower and internal fortitude. Other positive descriptors of Leo include enthusiastic, inspirational, affectionate and constancy all of which helps lead us to become intensely self-aware and self-conscious. Overall, the Leo personality becomes characterized by “persistent enthusiasm.”

***

“The internal drive of Leo toward self-expression and intense self-projection is characterized by persistence and stubbornness with an intense need to be the center of attention. This is further characterized by a need for praise, admiration and personal recognition. Further, an inherent drive to control one’s destiny and dominate the environment helps us to become leaders ahead of our time meeting life with pride, style and an uncompromising personal integrity.”

***

“Through Leo we embrace the crisis of individualization which helps us become a unique, indivisible unit or “whole man.” In the process our selfishness is transformed into selflessness; our desire becomes aspiration; our willfulness becomes willingness; and our leadership becomes cooperation. At this level, our willpower becomes the will-to-illumine. The urge toward self-knowledge, self-perception and mental positivity opens us to a sensitivity to the soul and begins the intermarriage between the conscious mind and the unconscious that is needed to become the “individual shining solar glory.”

“The Sun still rules Leo on the level of the soul. This is not the physical body of the Sun, but the Heart of our great star. The physical Sun casts a shadow, so that the personality-centered Leo can be a real drain on other people’s energies. His or her personality shines so brightly that it obscures other people’s creative light. The Heart of the Sun casts no shadow. It is a light that does not shine, but radiates. This radiation inspires, energizes, and helps the creative process in all of its forms.”
