Leo: Characteristics
Living Outwardly while Loving Inwardly.
The task for each of us is to develop our Leo characteristics of self-awareness, ownership, and pride to be truly ourselves. Up until now the world has not really seen us, and we have not really seen ourselves. Now we get the opportunity to develop a new self-image, and to truly be ourselves.
The self-image that most people present to others is based on the best way they know how to receive love. For a Leo, all striving is an attempt to receive love, and it creates a feeling of superiority. Superiority is a quality innate to ego, a reflection of true spiritual power. The ego identifies this power as being its own. It is mirrored as others being separate, and therefore less superior. This is a necessary perspective in order to be unique. Yet, our task is to be more ourselves, but with less superiority. It is not about humility, at least not outwardly, but a humility focused inwardly. The courage to be more ourselves requires humility in order to receive more spiritual power. To be unique is measured by how strong our receptivity is to this hierarchal law that forms our ego.
This hierarchy is based on three levels of law; civil, moral and spiritual, and their three corresponding tests of money, power, and pride. The issue is, how do we incorporate all three of these hierarchal laws into our being, to demonstrate them morally in relationships. This is brought about by a heightened sense-of-self.
We increase our uniqueness and ultimate growth now by guiding others through our actions, being guided from within by a new moral code. This is a testing and a retraining of both our intellectual self, and our love nature to bring them into balance so we can be guided from within. The tempering is a refining of the desire nature that brings about a balanced love nature, with an aspiring attitude.
