Leo is one of the most intense signs in the Zodiac, making this one of the more difficult months to navigate. The first nine days are considered to be the darkest of the year, with calamities spanning from the Bible to modern times. Before we all go running for cover, let me remind you that this is actually a great opportunity. In the study of kabbalah we learn that any amount of darkness is equal to the amount of Light that can be revealed by transforming it. This is the entire purpose behind kabbalistic astrology; to give us insight about our characteristics so that we may transform the more negative ones, creating balance and fulfillment in our lives.
So how do we take the energy of Leo and make it work in our favor instead of against us? Very, very carefully.
Those born under the sign of Leo are natural-born hard workers, so we will feel the drive to get a lot done this month. This can see us making great advancements if we remember to slow down and do things right instead of quickly. This is not the time to rush anything. In fact, when it comes to starting new ventures or signing contracts, it is best to wait until things lighten up later in the month.
The same goes for our interactions with others. To circumvent conflicts, consider the best way to approach situations as opposed to saying the first thing that comes to mind. We should take extra care to be more sensitive with others than usual, and make sure we are using our strengths and wisdom to lift others up instead of dominating them or making them feel less.
The key to making the most of the month Leo is to think before you… everything!
Before you speak, act, and make important decisions, take a few days to see how it will best benefit the whole instead of just yourself.
By exercising great caution and care not to give into our initial impulses, we can make huge strides in our personal transformation this month.
Chodesh Tov,
