Leo: The Patterns and Behaviors
|
|
|
by Diana Stone |
|
|
Dateline August 2004. The Sun typically passes through the sign Leo from July 22- 23 to August 22- 23. If your Sun sign is not Leo you may think that you do not relate to this sign. But you could be wrong! You may have other placements in Leo in your birth chart that makes this sign significant. It may be your Moon sign or the rising sign. Read on and see if this reminds you of anyone you know!
Leo is one of the power signs of the zodiac meaning there is a strong will and a persevering nature. And never forget that this is the sign of royalty. No matter how a Leo personality may express the leonine nature, there is one thing you should never do to your Leos, never ignore them! The nature of this sign gravitates toward center stage. This is a sign of style and a strong presence. We notice when Leo makes an entrance!
There is a reason for this beyond purely ego gratification. This is a sign that facilitates self-awareness by observing the reaction of others to one's behavior and ideas. There is a common saying that we can never see ourselves as others see us. We can never observe from inside our skins totally objectively. So it is the lion that puts it all on the line to see how others react. If ten people point out that we are a jerk for a certain behavior, then we change it. The Achilles' heel in all of this is that it doesn't work very well if we have a Leo who lacks confidence and a fairly good idea of who he or she is. Not all criticism is helpful criticism or given without a hidden agenda. The wounded Leo may take in all criticism wholesale without discernment and be quite damaged and confused by it
The two primary psychological needs of Leo are recognition needs and approval needs. Leo as the rising sign is especially sensitive to this in early childhood. Recognition needs mean that someone tells the kid that it is at least okay to take up space on the planet. If that need is seriously absent this can produce a suicide script. Recognition of mere existence is one thing, but approval is quite another matter. Are you okay or are you not okay? Leo is not rebellious by nature. Their psychological dynamic is dependent on social interaction and feedback from others.
If there is heavy criticism and not-okay messages, the natural actor in the Leo psyche is challenged to adapt to a role that DOES get parental approval. If that happens you may not recognize the lion. You may have met the woman in her fifties that is still Daddy's little girl in dress and mannerisms. My son the doctor has a mid-life crisis because he always wanted to be a writer. The person goes into this role whether a positive or negative one and the true self is limited by it.
Leo is the sign of creative self-expression. One of the things we create is a child, and Leo may be very good with children and desire to be a parent. Leo is associated with the heart. We have many expressions that suit the Leo personality; kind-hearted, tender hearted, big-hearted and so on. They are often generous to a fault and can be very indulgent toward family and friends. It is a powerhouse of a sign but they are suckers for a sob story.
This is one of the most positive and optimistic signs. If expressing on the positive side they bring sunshine into the world. They have a lot of energy and can sometimes over-extend themselves like there is no tomorrow and even burn out in mid-life if they don't watch it. Leo is also associated with gold. Now you know what to buy for a gift, the stuff that glitters will put a sparkle in any Leo's eye.
If Leo folks can control the personal ego, overcome a tendency toward self-centered attitudes and arrogance and avoid power trips, they deserve the approval and attention that they love so much and will return in equal measure.
This is a continuation of the series of columns on the signs of the zodiac. These are condensed excerpts from a book in progress in which this material will be treated in greater depth. Get ready, Virgo, you're next.

Diana Stone began astrological studies in the 1960s under the tutelage of Charles Luntz, author of Vocational Guidance by Astrology.
In 1973, she established a private practice in Portland, OR. She serves a clientele that includes an extensive network of telephone clients.
Her book on the U.S. horoscope was published in 1976. In the early 90s she contributed to three anthologies published by Llewellyn Publishers and edited by Noel Tyl.
Diana has lectured extensively and is a popular keynote speaker. She delivered the keynote address at the United Astrology Conference in Orlando in July 2002.
She has been a student for over 30 years of Huna shamanism, the system practiced by ancient Polynesian kahuna. Huna Research, Inc. certified her as a teacher of the ancient lore.
Diana serves an extensive international clientele as a shaman specializing in soul retrieval. She and her brother formed a publishing company, Crystal Triangle Publishing, and the book they co-authored, The Lightbody Activation Manual, will be released in February 2003. Diana now resides in Vancouver, WA.
