Hi, Reader!
As the sun begins to shift into Virgo in just a few days, this week's episode of the pod is a deep reflection on Leo season and how to connect to its energy. This one was a fun one for me to record. I feel like I have soooo much to say on Leo, because it's a very prominent energy in my 13-sign astrology chart.
Not only is it my rising sign in this system, but it's also where I have Chiron placed. Chiron is the wounded healer. It's the point in our chart that speaks to where we've been hurt in the past through no fault of our own. The more that we lean into healing this wound, the more we will step into what we are here to teach others in this life; aka, stepping deeper into our purpose.
Looking to the sign that Chiron is in will help you track where the wound came from, and also how you are meant to lean into healing it, and how you can accomplish the lesson Chiron is here to teach you. With mine being in Leo, that means leaning into my self-expression, my creativity, my inner-child, and always leading with my heart. But also, my self-expression is what I've feared the most because of early on experiences that I had around it in my childhood, like being made fun of. Chiron helped me see this truth within myself.
The house that it's in will tell you where the lesson is met in your life. Mine is in the 12th house, which rules the subconscious. For me, it's a very inward battle with myself that I am here to overcome. The 12th house is also the most spiritual house of the zodiac, so I know that the more I lean into my spirituality and turn inward, the more I can heal this wound. It's actually pretty crazy to me how spot on this is in my life. Learning my Chiron placement helped me develop deeper self-awareness, and encouraged me to face my fears and lean into my love for dance as an adult!
In the episode I also explain the rising sign and just how important of a point it is in our chart. Your rising sign isn't just the "mask" that people see you put on. It's so much deeper than that. It's often people's first impressions of you, yes. In fact, sometimes they pick up on your rising sign energy even more than your sun sign! But it's also the filter through which you take your sun, moon, and everything else in your birth chart and present it to the world.
I always say it flavors your sun sign. For example, I'm a Scorpio sun with a Leo rising. While I feel like I do embody traits of Scorpio, I've also always really felt the layer of Leo on top of it. I have the intensity, the truth-seeking nature, and femininity of Scorpio. My Leo rising adds charisma, playfulness, and heart into how I embody it. I speak more to this in the episode.
Being that Leo is the sign of the inner child, I also give some really practical advice on how to reconnect to your inner child as an adult. No, that doesn't mean buying a bunch of paint supplies and forcing yourself to paint just for the sake of being creative (speaking from experience here). It means getting in touch with what you truly LOVED doing as a kid. For me, I was a dancer, and I also had multiple "bands" that I was a part of with my friends. RIP to The Sunflowers 🌻😉 I just loved being on stage and in the spotlight. In the past year, I've not only started taking dance lessons again, but I also have started taking singing lessons for the first time ever in my life.
So, how can you revisit what you loved doing as a kid as an adult? I promise you it's not as hard as it seems.
When we reconnect to our inner child, we reconnect to our heart. That's the medicine that I share in this week's episode.
The episode also covers:
-Learning to self-validate (one of the biggest lessons Leo placements are here to learn)
-Expanding what it means to be creative
-The spine and the heart as gateways in the body to connect with the energy of Leo
-Anchoring into presence (another theme of Leo)
-Clothing and fashion as a form of creativity and self-expression
What did you enjoy the most as a child? Are you letting yourself connect to it as an adult?
How can you look to where Chiron is placed in your chart to cultivate a deeper self-awareness and connection to yourself?
And, what does your rising sign say about you?
So much to ponder, and if you are wanting further support in diving into these questions around your chart, I can support you in discovering Your 13 Sign Evolution.
Sending love!
