Cancer 10° (June 30)

Gone and not coming back. I will spare you the gruesome method in which this was enacted but it included a missive that portrayed a villainous character bent on cruelty. There were times of the latter but never of the former. Spending the morning blowing up voicemails, bawling brains out and otherwise rending garments and beating breast. The truth of the matter is there has long been this great schism and it was inevitable. There will be no end to trying to obtain contact, all in vain. But going to push through: Circling back to what we tell our Leo women clients: What constitutes wholeness and fulfillment at the end of the day for the Lioness is having lived as fearless a life as possible, to feel that whatever perhaps didn’t pay off was for no lack of trying. Along with the heart, Leo rules the backbone; the Strength card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot features that big golden cat, and for Leo it is a matter of standing up to her full height in life, never to have shied away from advocating for, nor shirked responsibility to, herself. All the female fire signs share a similar sense of spirt, which fire symbolizes: Where Aries aims to be groundbreaking, the first to do this or that; and Sagittarius is wont to achieve a kind of omnipresence, to be far-reaching and to learn, see, travel and achieve the most she can, Leo is hinged on being her personal best, and she holds herself to an extremely high bar on that score. In keeping with her sign’s color, Leo seeks to personify the gold standard in all aspects of her life. She is the one to beat at the game of life, and she’s way ahead of you. Perhaps, reading this, Leo, you agree in theory but not in practice, that is there may be a disconnect between your belief, that you’re the one to beat, and your behavior, which isn’t currently proving that point. (See the prescriptive text box for some guidance on this score.) To be a fulfilled Leo woman is to satisfy your hunger(s) in life, and there are typically more than a few ways to assuage each one. In the meantime, “hunger is good discipline,” as a healthy dose of dissatisfaction is what forever fuels and propels the Leo forward. You can be the most challenging of people, Kitty, no easy walk in the park. Like your animal totem, you spar with others, the whole cat and mouse routine, flexing your muscles, keeping your claws and teeth sharp, just as all that kind of play between lion cubs amounts to training for the real adult battles in the jungle ahead. There is typically someone, if not a handful of folks, at any one point in time with whom you are at least vaguely at odds, in your experience. To some degree this is healthy, again, keeping your wits sharp; but when the love of drama begins to outstrip the need then we caution you against unnecessary engagement of this sort, as it can become something of an addition. Still, you will find that queen Leo will always have some bee in her bonnet about some revolting subject or other needing to be put down, whether person, place or thing. Just don’t let her see you eye-roll lest your head be next on the chopping block.

To view the original Sabian Symbol themed 2015 Cosmic Blague corresponding to this day: Flashback! The degree point of the Sabian Symbol may at times be one degree higher than the one listed here. The Blague portrays the starting degree of for this day ( 0°,  for instance), as I typically post in the morning, while the Sabian number corresponds to the end point (1°) of that same 0°-1° period.
