Leo’s Fires, the Burning Ground & Saviors of Humanity

Appointments are Open for Readings, Counseling, Mentorship, Conversations and Consultations.

Dear Readers, this is Risa. I am opening up our counseling, mentorship, consultation & astrological readings appointments.

The real question when Sun enters Leo for each of us is What are our talents, gifts, abilities? What is our creativity? These questions are also being asked by Mercury which is retrograde and also in Leo.

Leo is the heart of the Sun and the Light of the Soul. As humanity is the 4th Kingdom on Earth, the Soul is the 5th Kingdom, being built in order to Light the Way for humanity – who are the “Children of Fire, the Sons and Daughters of Mind.”

Leo is the Sun, its fire, which creates a burning ground of purification for humanity. This fire destroys all that hinders our return to the Father’s House. As humanity experiences the burning ground (tests, trials, difficulties, etc.), we seek teachers and teachings (study of Astrology and Ageless Wisdom Teachings) to illuminate and lead us to a state of understanding.

Eventually, we realize that we are the ones who must illuminate and thus lead humanity. The burning ground continues to purify us in order to be the teachers of humanity. This identity is new for humanity, who is to be the World Savior.

We, as humanity, learn step by step, which are Initiations. Humanity is attempting to take the First Initiation (awareness of the new Kingdom called the Soul). This Initiation is administered by the Christ (Pisces and Aquarius World Teacher, soon to reappear). And so we visualize “a golden strand from the heart of Christ extends to our hearts. Via this strand of light passes the power to strengthen, to stimulate, to vivify and to bless. We become priests unto the Lord.”

The Forces of Materiality are doing their best for this Initiation to not take place for humanity. Thus the conflicts and chaos upon the Earth. And the call for truth, discrimination, discernment and eventually choice within humanity. Which side do we stand upon?

The Fifth Gate (task) of Hercules (Gate of Leo) opens when the Sun enters Leo, and the Fifth Labor has begun. It is a dreadful labor and we must be prepared. “Let us keep watch even though our heart is questioning. We must burnish bright our shields, feel our courage strong. Together, amidst the lion’s roar, we venture forth. Knowing we must create the brave new world, the new Aquarian era, as the old world falls away.”

Aries	March 21 – April 19: Throughout the year, great changes will occur. Your outlook on life will be concerned with freedom, especially how you express and conduct yourself. Breaking from the past will also occur. You will be as one who is “awakened” from a deep sleep. The awakening will happen through unexpected events. Break this gently to people who care about you so, as you change, they are not surprised. Cherish each moment.
Taurus	*April 20 – May 20:* Unusual events happen particularly with your health. You might find unexpected difficulties almost every day affecting your well-being. How to handle these is to adapt to the realization that all patterns in your life are altering, including health. Perform daily tasks with deep awareness lest a spider or snake bite you. These are symbols for change. Have homeopaths and essential oils nearby.
Gemini	*May 21 – June 20:* *Groups*. Your friendships and social life begin to shift. You meet new people, encounter new ideas, consider group life more and more. Unusual people are attracted to you as you study unusual lifestyles and listen to alternative news. The idea of being free and free-spirited is long overdue. Vesta, the asteroid of “self as found object” is in Gemini. You must make a Vesta box. Find a box; fill it with treasures that represent your true self. This is your new artform.
Cancer	*June 21 – July 22:* Talents and gifts you didn’t know existed within you are coming alive and this will be a discovery that is exciting and unexpected. Your life, likewise, embarks upon several new directions, and people around you begin to consider you as one who knows a lot about something very specific. You surprise everyone. They think of you as unconventional and studious. This is good. A new life story, narrative and level of creative thinking begin.
Leo	*July 23 – August 22:* It’s possible you will be traveling soon, if you’re not already. Travel will be curious, unexpected, out of the ordinary. The journey will not be what you planned. You will meet unusual people who help you see life in completely different terms. Nothing traditional, long established and time honored seem available, even though you long for these. Everything unconventional is seeking you. Allow yourself to adapt to this. Your heart is stirred.
Virgo	*August 23 – September 22:* Unexpected events or happenings occur with finances and money that come from shared resources, from investments, taxes or loans. At first this doesn’t make sense. Then as time goes by it does. Allow yourself to realize that the pleasures you pursue and things you like do cost money. For some reason you will feel you cannot depend anymore on your usual sources. Uncertainty results. You will find new paths and new resources.
Libra	September 23 – October 22: Some things in your relations with others and with your close associates and intimates become surprising. Should you feel loss of freedom or resistance from others, should anything feel limiting, you will shake it off immediately. It may be difficult to rely on anyone. If you notice this, be sure to be the ‘reliable one’ for others. Breaking free from things doesn’t mean you need to be cruel. Be gentle and kind – always, everywhere, with everyone.
Scorpio	October 23 – November 21: Daily work, routines and agendas should include work on your health. Create new routines that include all things healthy. Each day you may find yourself disrupted. Everything becomes non-traditional and unconventional. This includes health, which you need to pay attention to. Restlessness means you need a new rhythm. You will work non-stop at times, then work not at all at other times. Alternative healing benefits your health. Slow down.
Sagittarius	*November 22 – December 21:* Know that more and more you will begin to express yourself in unconventionally creative ways. You will become the “out of the ordinary” friend. Children and odd balls will love you. There will be sudden occurrences in your love life, in romance. Previous inhibitions fall away. You become freer, spontaneous, even eccentric (more so). Everything you didn’t like falls away. You become light-hearted and playful. You are happy.
Capricorn	December 22 – January 19: No matter how hard you try, home is in a state of change, and fluctuations happen constantly. This is good. It means no crystallizations can occur. It can also feel disruptive and erratic. Life is speeding up. Sometimes you feel if you move too fast you will make a wrong turn. You feel tested, stimulated to approach the home situation in new ways. Perhaps you will move. Sometimes you feel free. Sometimes you miss someone far away. Boredom isn’t in your vocabulary.
Aquarius	January 20 – February 18: There’s an introduction and exposure to new worlds, new people and perhaps new lands and geographic areas. New opportunities come forth to express yourself and your gifts. You like to be with the people in the marketplace. Here you feel alive, in contact, love is released, people know and rely upon your expertise. You try to make contact with family, siblings, relatives. Your personal appearance changes. Your shell cracks.
Pisces	February 19 – March 20: Over the next weeks and months notice as your values change. All things outdated will swim away like little fishes. New values that allow for new growth of all endeavors will emerge. There will be a call for less material things. Uncertain and unusual circumstances will bring about unusual use of resources. Income results from future technologies, studies that are spiritual and built around community. You help build the Sharing Society. Study holy oils.
