LEO & THE SUN

“In every person there is a Sun. Just let them shine.” Socrates

           Esoteric Astrology is one of the ancient Wisdom teachings, also known as perennial wisdom, ancient philosophy, the Mysteries, Esoteric Sciences, etc. This astrology is older than man, older than traditional astrology which was created for the survival of physical mankind and is the astrology with which most people are familiar in Western society. Esoteric Astrology was always meant to come into our society around the time of the Age of Aquarius when mankind would both be ready, and hungry for a more spiritual form of astrology. But Esoteric Astrology is only the middle level of astrology as far as we know today. Very few, if any, are yet vibrating to the next level of astrology known as Hierarchical Astrology. While we don’t yet know much about it, one thing is certain: through all 3 levels of astrology, the Sun remains the planetary ruler of Leo.

          Planetary rulerships shift through the three levels because as we begin to vibrate on higher and higher spiritual levels so do the planets. But the Sun, the center, the heart and the king of our Solar System continues to rule the sign which rules Kings, Leo. Leo rules Creative Self-Expression and the idea that we are each striving for higher and higher self-knowledge and self-expression AS our Higher Selves, that which we really are. As we evolve and begin to aspire for higher meaning and greater expression of our true selves, we also have different archetypes for many of the signs. But like the Sun, the Lion has no higher archetype. Leo’s Keynote says it all: “I am that and that am I.”

 Everyone: This is the best time to view and photograph Saturn and its moons as it will be brighter than any other time of the year and visible all night long. A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn’s rings and a few of its brightest moons.
