Leo Season Arrives
A Little Leo Meditation (and Manifestation)
You’ll need:
Some quiet time
A journal/notebook and a pen/pencil
A spot outside or near a window
For bonus astro-timing, do this on Sunday morning just after sunrise (which is around 5:50 in the morning around these parts), or late afternoon (around 3 or so) – that will put you in the hour of the Sun and is a perfect time to connect with our personal star.
The Sun entered Leo on July 22nd, 2022, around 3 pm Central time
Set yourself up where you can feel the warmth of the Sun if possible (don’t let clouds discourage you!) and take a moment to list out three (or more!!) things from the past year that you are proud of. Take your time and really allow yourself to revisit these moments: what was difficult about that situation for you? How did you face your fears and find your courage? Is there a common thread between the things you listed? Do as much or as little journaling as your heart desires!
When you’re ready, close your eyes and place your hands on your heart. Take a few deep breaths, feeling your own radiance and magnificence. Then take a moment to congratulate yourself. Yes, out loud! Say exactly what you are proud of yourself for accomplishing, and thank yourself for being courageous – you deserve it, you beautiful sovereign soul!
Then, when you’re ready, pick one thing you’d like to do this year. Write it down to make it real. Contemplate and envision the first 3 steps to making it happen. If you want to travel, for example, you may want to: start a travel fund, make sure you have your passport (or other relevant documents) ready, and research sites that you want to visit. Again, write out as much or as little detail as you need. When you’re done, take one extra moment to connect to the Sun: warmth and light and life. Give it some thanks too! You could do that off the cuff, or go a more formal route with a pre-selected poem or an Orphic Hymn (the traditional choice is the hymn for Helios, but I also really like the one for Eos).
The mediation is done, and you may go about your day. As the Sun shines in its home this next month, set out to tackle these steps – you can break them down even further if you need! Build your momentum and turn back to this list of accomplishments when you need a burst of encouragement!
