Unless you were brought up
underground or have never been outdoors before, you will be aware of the Sun:
big, bright, cheerful (on a good day) and an inducer of good will and
intentions. We all want to play in the sun, not in a cold rain storm. And yet,
in spite of the many benefits of the Sun, there are quite serious drawbacks:
sunburn, heatstroke and the harm to human eyes if it is looked at directly for
prolonged periods. It is lucky for us we get a break from the Sun during the
night (unless we live in polar regions). To understand the sun is to understand
the sign of Leo. Many cultures have versions of solar gods whose strength
intensifies or weakens as myths for summer and winter or sunrise and sunset.
Harnessing the sun’s power is amongst our greatest challenges and achievements
for agriculture and, with any luck, as a sustainable source of energy. The Sun
therefore represents our ability to shine, to expose (or be exposed) and to
sustain life. It’s also giving and generosity whilst understanding limitations.
The
lessons of a month beginning with the new moon in Leo can be understood by
understanding the opposite sign of Aquarius: working as a team, dealing with
technology, being ‘cool’ and detached and avoiding the spotlight.
The new moon in Leo therefore
invokes a time of exploring how you want to be seen by others, your search for
glory and recognition and your need to sustain and even create life.
Next new moon in Pisces on 29 August 2015
