It’s the first day of a new astrological month as the Sun enters the midsummer sign of Leo the Lion. The Sun is most at home in Leo, where it represents the open heart experiencing pure love. One problem associated with Leo is being so full of our own energy that we lose sight of others. We can feel like a beautiful garden flower in full bloom, but we crave appreciation. We need to be seen.

It is sure to be a dry moon if it lies on its back,
so that you can hang your hat on its horns.
~Welsh Border Saying
)0(
The moon she possibly doth shine because
Strook by the rays of sun, and day by day
May turn unto our gaze her light, the more
She doth recede from orb of sun, until,
Facing him opposite across the world,
She hath with full effulgence gleamed abroad…
~ Lucretius, “On the Nature of Things.”
