LEO - The Full Moon of Self-Expression

TO BE OR NOT TO BE: Step into the spotlight and express your radiant self. The next two weeks are the perfect time to access the self-expressive energy of the Full Moon in Leo and to utilize the Hand Analysis skill set of building, accepting and risking your own identity.

============================================

Full Moon in Leo - July 29, 2007, 5:48 pm PDT

The Leo's work is to SHINE, SHINE, SHINE and to lead the way with light, radiance and creativity. Leo is the sign of the radiant individual. It is the sign of the actor, the artist, the leader and the resplendent sun.

The full moon is the time to turn inward and question whether we identify more with the cowardly or courageous lion. We ask, “What must I express?” Leo gives us the boost to dare to be who we are. It kicks our cowardly lion in the pants.

In Hand Analysis, the artist is the most common Life Purpose. Your Life Purpose is what makes you feel most alive and is the reason you are here. Having an artist purpose means that what is the easiest, most enjoyable and fun for you is your creative self-expression. This requires developing your own sense of individuality -- which for many people comes very naturally. The more you express your individual nature, the more willing you are to show up in places where you would risk rejection... and risking rejection is key here. To the degree that you risk rejection for expressing yourself is the degree that you will be able to experience yourself as your unique artist... and is the degree that everyone else gets to benefit from what you have to offer.

Take advantage of the next two weeks to assess where in your life you shine. Then toast yourself for showing up fully. Really. Don't think about doing it, really do it. Go ahead and pour yourself your favorite beverage and raise your glass.

Also, take some time to consider the areas where you hold yourself back. Ask yourself what is at stake if you were to fully express yourself? How do you benefit by holding back? How might you benefit from actually expressing yourself in the scariest places?

From an astrological perspective, anyone with strong Leo in his chart often is in love with the spotlight or the stage. The key with Leo energy is to celebrate one's radiance without becoming self-centered. Leo can assume that the world is all about him and little else. But a soul-centered Leo will ask how his strong, creative personality can serve the greater good. The task for Leo is to utilize the balancing, group-oriented energy of Aquarius and give his gift for the benefit of the group and not simply for the praise, attention or recognition.

This month of Leo is the time to come out of hiding and shine forth with all your most beautiful creative offerings. Take this full moon time to imagine yourself as a sun radiating your greatest gifts!
