Date Posted: 21:41:04 07/23/09 Thu In reply to: 's message, "**All about Leo & Starcast + Astrolesson" on 21:30:29 07/23/09 Thu >** All about Leo > >Leo proudly bears the symbol of the lion -- which >didn't happen by accident. It's an association brought >about by this sign's reputation for being brave, >strong and just about fearless. Since the lion is the >king of the jungle, he also endows his signature sign >with the qualities of a natural ruler. Leos can pull >the mantle of authority over their shoulders at a >moment's notice and start barking out orders -- >benevolently, of course -- just as quickly. To pull it >all off, certain qualities are a must: charisma, to >start with, along with the ability to enchant and >enthrall the masses. Like those of many popular >leaders, Leos' 'followers' often seem to simply fall >in love with them! > >Bringing all those qualities into a relationship means >several things: First off, the Lion's partner can't >help but feel honored and, at times, a bit overwhelmed >by the task of measuring up to such a partner. If you >are a Leo yourself, you will, of course, do your best >to let your chosen partner know that nothing is too >good for them. You'll put your all into showing that >lucky soul that they not only 'deserve' you, but that >they're also worthy of anything -- as long as it's >good, fine and pleasurable. The best of everything is >all that will do. Luckily for the rest of us, Leos >automatically endow their loved ones with a sense of >worth that not too many others can match.

But don't fear, Leo: While it's not >your ultimate goal, this unparalleled devotion ensures >that you'll receive the same in return, with just as >much emotional extravagance. > >Speaking of extravagance, Leos are famous for that too >-- and for being lavish, theatrical and, at times, a >tad on the melodramatic side (even in the company of >those they've just met). Keeping the latter qualities >in check is their greatest challenge, and also what >will keep them honest and reputable. So, to all you >Lions out there, find a way to strut your stuff, a >stage that deserves your presence, and a way to >preserve your dignity, and you'll do all the other >residents of your jungle proud! >** Your Starcast for July 22 to August 21 > >Show off your strengths when the Sun enters >authoritative Leo on July 22.

Mercury's >placement in analytical Virgo joins with Pluto in >what-can-I-build Capricorn. Nice combo! Mercury's >sextile to Venus in nurturing Cancer sweetens the deal >and keeps conversations from getting overly intense. > >August 5: Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius > >Think back to July 21 when the new Moon solar eclipse >in Cancer occurred. This Aquarius full Moon lunar >eclipse represents the culmination of what you set in >motion during that time. The full Moon is always an >emotional high-tide time. But when it's also an >eclipse, feelings are heightened and there tends to be >a lot of drama, just as eclipses are quite visually >dramatic! Because this eclipse takes place at the >Aquarius north node, take into account the needs of >the group or your community to help point you in the >right direction. You are likely to want to be part of >something bigger while also being true to your own >individuality and uniqueness. Make sure you stay >group-focused.
