Sun in Leo

the sun is in leo, corresponding to the strength card. in this deck, their arcana numbers add to 3 corresponding to the 3rd sphere on the tree, binah / understanding, ruled by saturn.

the sun is the planetary ruler of tipharet / beauty, the 6th sphere. leo is ruled by the sun. what is the difference between the celestial body of the sun and its zodiacal expression of leo? the sun expands, expresses freely. it is the radius. leo is the infinity symbol. it is dualistic, flowing energy through polarities.

saturn has a relationship to 3 and therefore generation and creation and venus. it’s limitations of the womb allow for gestation. the sun is a generator. and related to the heart, the eternal generator of our spirit. when our heart is full, we can do anything and we are often creating.

so we begin to see a relationship between the dual nature of limitation, restriction, tension between our instincts and reactive mechanjsm and the part of ourselves that has a mind and uses it to cultivate awareness in alignment with spirit. the sun is the raw generating force whereas leo is mastering flow through tension alchemized through the center of us, the heart, our energetic sun.

we often think about the sun or spirit as coming in from above. but it comes through our center, our hearts, and radiates outward through our venusian sets of standards, what we consider beautiful in our lives, what’s desirable.

2 and 3 and 6. the sun and venus and saturn. oppositions, trines and sextiles. the line of spirit as it runs through us navigating through our standards and bouncing between lower and higher limits, alchemized through our heart. spirit spiraling outward.

happy leo season 🦁
