All is Energy! For those of you who are not familiar with esoteric philosophy – or do not know it well – I will remind you that all is energy. Thus you should simply relax and try to feel the energy rather then concern yourself with understanding everything. During the lecture you can ask questions or make comments. After the meditation you may also ask questions.
Leo Presentation • The Sign of Leo • The Labour of Hercules in Leo • The Leo Full Moon Chart - Short Break - • Meditation
Which sign is the Sun in? The Sun is in Leo. And which sign is the Moon in? The Moon is in Aquarius.

Raise What do we know about Fire? Fire cannot truly be confined Associated with spirit Raw energy Sun and Stars
What about Fire people? vitalising energy High Spirits Enthusiasm Freedom Honesty Consumed Openness Why they must do what they must do!
they are generous but egoistic What else about Fire people? assertive the most daring and capable inspiring natural leaders energies can stimulate others but they can also overpower and exhaust them that they fail to notice the powers and abilities of others
So what happens when we put the mode of fixed together with the element of fire?
We get Leo! • As the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo represents the fifth stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. • The Leo need is … to develop man’s creative urge. • Creativity is not entirely an emotional urge in Leo, it is also an expression of ego. The mind and heart are united in Leo to represent man’s ultimate individuality.
They are however, able to accomplish things in life because of their tenacity in sticking with projects when others lose patience and stamina. Leos are stubborn and impervious to changes not of their own making. Unfortunately, stubbornness in the Leo personality is dictated more often than not by their ego. Attempts to back them into a corner, or demanding that they change their thinking or behavior will quickly reveal the extent of their intractable nature.
Their penchant for exaggeration and overreaction works well in the theater, advertising schemes, and other situations where a “bigger than life” approach is desirable. Leos are often guilty however, of habitually turning a mundane problem or fairly routine situation into an overblown crisis, much to the confusion and annoyance of those around them. Leos react physically to everything they experience. Before they assess the practicality or worth of what they are doing, before they sort out their true emotions, and before they take time to reason things out intellectually, their tendency is to shoot first and ask questions later. Leos tackle projects others would not attempt, though they cannot help calling as much attention as possible to their efforts.
Leo’s Astrological Symbol The majestic lion, the King of the Beasts, is Leo’s symbol. Throughout history, the lion has symbolized sovereignty, rulership, and courage. “The lion’s size and strength have captured human imagination since ancient times”. Leos, like lions, are thought to be strong leaders. They generally have a regal quality to them, and possess a noble manner that is hard to miss.
Leo’s Astrological Glyph The glyph for Leo represents the mane of the lion.
The Leo Myth The medieval legend of Parzival.
Parzival Parzival is the epitome of the hero on the quest. Our mythical hero, like many other heroes, is fatherless at the beginning of the story … He decides to become a knight.
Strangely, Leo is often fatherless, or has a difficult relationship with the father.
There is a sick old king Parzival begins his adventures There is an enigmatic and beautiful woman … a sword and an object which comes to be known in later Christianized legends as the Holy Grail Parzival Parzival stares, bewildered at this drama, but does not say anything What does this mean? a great angry voice speaks and tells him he has made a dreadful mistake and failed Parzival has a vision in a forest when he finds himself in a mysterious glittering castle
Parzival awakens from his vision cold and alone in the wood.
If we remove the later embellishments which Christianity has placed over the tale, we can see in it the pattern of Leo’s life. For the quest of Leo is the quest of the Self: Who am I? What does my life mean? What is it that makes me different from others? It is a deeply introverted and profound quest. Many Leos are not aware in any way that this is their road; but they follow it nonetheless.
For this reason too, Leo is self-centered. He has a kind of constant self-consciousness, a sort of watcher that is always watching himself watching himself, that never really allows him to be totally aware of the environment except in relation to himself. It is almost impossible for Leo to detach from himself. Nor should he. His whole journey is about discovering who that watcher is.
We’ll now mention some of the challenges to Leo. Remember though we are talking about the energy of Leo and there are many types of energy.

This is the story of the individual Christ, crucified upon the cross of matter, and incarnated in each human being, God, incarnate in matter.
