LEO/LEO RISING Excerpt: "...be certain that any position of entitlement that you take over others will soon become untenable..." ♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓ Full Moon Message for Members Below: It may not be exactly clear to you, but your Leonine desire to feel supremely special comes from somewhere, and you accept this with some degree of entitlement and grandeur. However, when you can’t feed your emotional need for passionate expression or if others don’t seem to adequately appreciate your emotional flair, as is the possibility under this revolutionary lunation, you can become greedy for attention and hungry for drama beyond reasonable means. The Taurean Mars/Uranus square to this lunation in your sign makes you immensely conscious of the neoliberal, materialistic free-for-all attitudes that seem to be reaching a crucial point of unsustainability here on this planet. If you choose to engage in any elitism, ignoring or denying the obvious inequities this causes, tending more towards allowing the wild and licentiously self-centred use of materials, money, land, etc., feeling entitled to create a niche of superior wealth, distanced and detached from the consequences of reckless spending and lack of planning, then be certain that any position of entitlement that you take over others will soon become untenable. You must try to consciously lean into the opposing Aquarius Sun by sharing your gifts of powerful emotion and expressiveness across your community as best you can, being a beacon of love who makes collaboration, cooperation, and visionary social change irresistibly interesting and exciting. On this Full Moon, come to understand that this world is not only about you and your self-centred interests and visions of how you wish to see the world. You must learn to listen to the world, hand around the microphone so that others can sing their song, be entertained and delighted by those who are entertained and delighted with you, and use the full scope of your awareness and creative inspiration to generate an atmosphere which is inventive and seeks artful and artistic ways to heal the entire planet. The crux of this is that something has to change with you. Nobody is stopping you from being the magnanimous and gifted leader of your entire tribe. Just remember that you are also a member of that tribe, and although special in your own unique way, this quality is something that you must not be afraid to share with others. Only you can make the decision to allow equality in free-expression. Once you come to accept that it is your subconscious need to confirm your worth by acts of wilful pride and assumed superiority that is causing all the difficulty and anguish, tensions will subside. You may need to look at your unconscious demandingness and expectation of others to come to you, like some king or queen beckoning for a constant and exclusive audience. Remember what happened to Marie Antoinette and all the tzars of Russia. Most succinctly, you must drop the pretence of objectivity to ensure that others will admire you on your pedestal. If you unconsciously select partners or an audience purely based on their ability to lay tributes and honours or increase your material status, you will experience the discomfort of relating without actually establishing inner affinity. Hence, by depending on others as a means to further your values and goals, you limit your opportunity to receive rewards that may go beyond your expectations or defined objectives. Being a creature of fixed nature, change is always hard for you. Yet you are under extreme pressure, often from forces which seem to be more supernatural than mundane. The pressure to change deeply ingrained patterns of infantile attachment shuts you out of receiving guidance unless you’re prepared to put your pride to the side. You can create the self-worth you need as soon as you notice that old methods for achieving admiration from others no longer result in success. The values you project, often as insecurities, may not be what others want or need. It would be best if you first relinquished the position of director, producer, and main character in your life drama. Your willingness to share the reins of creative control over your life will enable you to get in touch with your audience, allowing them to assist you in exploring which of your many talents and resources are appropriate to the situation. It would help if you learned to approach all relationships with a ‘how can I serve you better’ attitude. It is not beneath you to be of service to all humanity. When you commit yourself to equanimously serving the desires and needs of others and their plight or cause – and it helps to listen to the subtle, non-verbal messages they are putting out to you – you immediately gain greater insight into the esteemed role you can play. By inspiring others, you not only are entertained but also gain a sense of self-worth in the process. The Full Moon will create immense pressure for you to let go of any unconscious habits and childish needs for the undivided attention from others. You will learn, perhaps the hard way, that this ‘experience’ in life is not just ‘all about you’ and your voracious hunger to feel validated and adored. We simply cannot demand these things any longer. They are worthless and transparently revealing of our worst insecurities. Whether you know this or not, contributing your talents to uplift others will earn you the very enjoyment and happiness that awaits you. Stepping out of your ‘demand-to-be-treated-like-royalty’ drama and recognising how much fun you can have when you allow others to share the stage with you will lighten your whole outlook on life and possibly increase your audience and acclaim immeasurably.
