Think of my blog as your home away from home 🙂 Yes, that’s another nod to the Sun, no longer in Cancer.
So without further ado, drum roll please, I bring you… Meow. Leo! And while you’re thinking of my blog as your home away from home, think of it as… a break from the news of the day. I don’t talk about the news much here so let this be your escape, even if I do try to make you think about your life at times. That’s fun too, isn’t it? It is for Moon Pluto 🙂
So. One or two things I know about Leo.
1) Needs to be appreciated and 2) Needs to be appreciated.
Or, “admired,” as my roommate says, but she may have been quoting Linda Goodman. And Leo has much to admire 😉 but make no mistake: they suffer when you don’t notice. Notice what? Notice THEM. And it’s cute, right? The ego? It’s cute?
Well, I think whether or not you find it cute has to do with your own chart. I have Venus in Leo and Venus sextile Jupiter so I can withstand a fair amount of Leo preening. I don’t mind letting them shine. But then I’ve got Pluto in the 1st House and 1st House Pluto People always feel Powerful, I think, no matter what’s actually going on, and even if they hate themselves… they still derive and project some kind of presence/power that says to Leo: eh. You can keep your bangles and spangles. I’ve got my cloak!
But back to Leo: Leo shines. Leo needs to shine. Wherever you have Leo in your chart? You are the STAR. North Node in Leo? These people have served others in the past, served humanity and now? They need to be on top. South Node in Leo? They need to adjust to being a wee bit , yes a wee bit out of the spotlight. NOT easy for them.
Appreciation. Admiration. ATTENTION. The three A’s. It was probably a Leo who said “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” On second thought… wasn’t that Oscar Wilde? I’m not sure and I don’t know his chart. Google time!
So. As we begin LEO SEASON, here’s my usual: take out your chart from the drawer and find your Leo house because it’s where you need to shine, sparkle, be yourself, express, revel in your own uniqueness, find an audience, be yourself, paint, draw, sing, act, create, have fun. It’s also the place where you have, or where you need to have, courage! Pride! A crown! Leo is confident, warm, robust!
Leo rules the heart. Look to your Leo house and sign and aspects to remember, to discover, what and who you love.

This is very true. I have pluto in scorpio in the 1st, scorpio rising and I immediately know the people I should be afraid of, and usually they are not leos. I usually fear tauruses and people with pluto singletons. It’s very funny though, because I’m a leo sun and I can’t stand my constant need for attention and praise.
Hello nomnom! Tauruses kind of scare me too 😉 Why? Because they aren’t so aware of the power they have! They often give it away.
I have my South Node in Leo but my MC is in Leo, as well. I’m conflicted as fuck. lol.
I guess I can shine in my career… but I also have have to fall back in ALL OTHER AREAS! 😉
Oh I love it when I see charts like yours, May 🙂 Lots to untangle! Finding the balance. Just the right amount and style and type of the Leo! Maybe it’s a Leo job/career but you do it in Aquarian style!
Ohyeah! It just hit me. He’s a Cap with Merc and the Sun in the fith too. Though he’s got a conjunction there he’s terrible at communicating his needs-will throw a retaliatory tantrum first. What’s with that?!
As for the tantrums sounds like a challenge to his mercury which rules communication. Could be any number of things!
..yeah. Merc; semi-square Uranus, square Ceres and Eris. It quintiles his Eros though. Damned silver tongue. So smooth. So shiny. Or so I’m guessing.
..I’m looking forward to another life changing love. Thank you for sharing that. Been feeling like he’s around the corner but so scared cause I’m that scarred. And all this Saturn!
..phooey. Leo nothin. 5th house nothin. Still trying to figure out my chart for how I still manage to create things.
The ex has his north node in Leo. MP, I’m tellin ya- yer right! He’s got such a fire inside that’s just scratching to get out it sometimes explodes into chairs flying across the room. Then I pet his mane and he’s a kitty again. I like Leos 😉
Now remember, EW, you still have a house that Leo rules, even if it is empty and even if no planets in Leo… this house still matters! And you still get planets there by transit 🙂 And your 5th has a cusp which means there is a cusp ruler which leads us to the planet that it rules and so on and so on and so on!
Heh, I prefer North Node in Leo over South Node in Leo but shhhh don’t tell them I said anything 😉 Watch out for the flying chairs lol
LOL! Seriously.
True. There is so much and so on that those things, recently read about cadents (?), seem like they’re neverending. Maybe I’m reading my chart wrong but it looks like the cusp on both sides is Cancer and Virgo..Jupiter, Lilith and Uranus will transit my 5th in another year or so..ooh goodie! Big, dirty, wild love? Um. Bye. hee.
I had a life changing love when Jupiter entered my 5th. Uranus was in my 7th too.
Met him when Jupiter barely entered my 4th/Cancer while Neptune was conjunct Venus and Pluto was conjunct Juno. Hindsight says that ten years later, to my baby astrology eyes, he was the man to make a family though I was deluded by that but bound to wanting to..? Crazy.
Leo is on the 11th house in my chart…shining in groups, friends? 11th house always confuses me just a little bit.
And of course my leo sun is in the 10th house…shining in public, at work, my reputation?
Although there is that ugly square to pluto in the 1st house:(
In fact I secretly really want to be center of attention and all that but when I get it I don’t know what to do with myself; I get embarrassed, I don’t like all these people looking at me, I need my sunglasses!
Oh yes I know the elusive 11th: friends/associations… hopes and dreams… I see it as a social house for sure and it definitely played out as “Friendships” in my life. Groups. Public. And the 11th is so much about other people, I think because it’s opp the 5th which is so much about your personal uniqueness/expression and aquarius/11th is…. less personal.
Sun in the 10th: oh yes I see that as a CAREER shine absolutely. But also makes me wonder where your north node is. Or which parent yer closest too, parental axis, etc.
Sun square Pluto… now that’s a power aspect, don’t you think? And it’s fixed too. I bet there’s a lot more to the Pluto story in your chart 🙂
You know what, my venus is supposed to be in the 11th house…or 12th house, depending on what system you use. It is the ruler of my chart so you’d think it would be a little obvious to me which it was. Lately I’ve been erring on the 12th house side because that just makes more sense to me. But maybe I just don’t understand the 11th house? When you say “hopes and dreams,” now that makes sense. I could daydream all day about my hopes and dreams for the future and plan it all out and imagine it.
As far as career goes, I’m scheduled to take the biggest test of my life a licensing exam in mid-august. So hopefully all goes well and I’ll be shining afterwards!!
So my NN is exactly conjunct aries moon on the descendant, and I’ve always been closest to my Mama! My dad passed away when I was 20, I guess somewhat typical of sun square pluto right?
Me and my sun square pluto…we’re building a relationship currently, I’m getting to know him, we’re gonna make it work!
11th vs 12th: is it very close to the cusp line, using either house system?
11th: I don’t mean dreamy dreams like neptune sleep dreams. I mean, more, things you WANT. Things you go after!
Ah NN with the Moon: that’s sweet 🙂 she probably has a lot to teach you and vice versa!
I hope you and your Pluto will be very happy together lol 🙂
Well with placidus my venus is 4 degrees from the 12th house cusp, and with either koch or equal house system it is just within the 12th house. What’s your opinion on that sort of thing?
Hmm Autumn. I just had to deal with someone’s chart where I had to make a decision which house system to use. I can’t remember if I mentioned this in comments or a blog post already. But I went with my gut instinct, totally raw intuition but also what little I knew about her (since I was just beginning the reading) and what I saw in the chart. And was also prepared to revise my thinking if new info came to light. In the end I felt satisfied and I think she did too.
But one way to get at it is to ask yourself (or a client) questions and see where that leads you. Because for sure, I believe, a natal 4th house Pluto is a different world than a natal 5th House Pluto. If close to cusp, I can read for both but if it’s not close… ? It presents a sweet little puzzle!
But here you are talking about 12th House either way, just further in… so I don’t see it as that much of an issue UNLESS you REALLY were feeling yourself as a Venus 11th House person but 4 degrees is still 4 degrees, not like it’s ON the cusp or anything.
I was strictly a Placidus girl until recently when some compelling reasons made me start considering Equal!
Oh, yikes. I just realized my dear auntie is a Leo too. Geez. No wonder there’s all the crap flying around here.
🙁
Well, lessee…..
I’ve got Leo in my 9th house. One planet there – Uranus. Hmmm…….
Maybe I’m going to pack up and move far away??? (Need to make a note to warn the doggers and horses. LOL)
And as for Leos on the whole – ah, geez. Every single one I’ve dated – and there were three long term Leos – absolutely sucked the life out of me. It wasn’t until I realized – with each one – that I was going to be seriously ill if I didn’t get out, that I walked away. Boom. Just. Done.
And it took me so damn long to get to that point.
Could be travel, Kim, or someone/something international who shows up or it could be your MIND that expands. 9th rules philosophy, perspective… it’s Jupiter’s house/Sagittarius’ natural house… And whatever it is… it could be, of course, Uranian i.e. out of the blue! Maybe you’ll win a ticket out of town! Let us know what happens 🙂 yeah, the 9th is one of those houses that has to do with the way we think….
Hmm. Those Leos must square something in you. Got Scorpio? (I don’t remember).
Yep, I do. Scorp rising (1st), Venus (12th), Neptune (12th) and….ta-da – North Node (12th.)
All with my Libra stellium too. (Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mars.)
As for my thinking…if I think any harder, you’ll be able to see the smoke in NYC.
(I’m in Michigan – lol!)
Ah I remember now. Thought I was remembering Scorp rising but wasn’t sure…Whew. That’s a lot of energy over there in the dark!!!
Helloooo Michigan 🙂 Never been to Michigan but I hear Ann Arbor is lovely!
Yep, A2 is cool. I’m not far from there, and go in to visit friends who live there. Anything you want holistic/natural/eco wise is there! TONS of healers.
Ah I love those kinda towns 🙂
Hello A,
Leo is my 7th cusp, so the first half of the Sun in Leo happens in my 6th and at 16th degree it starts my 7th. I believe I am starting to “shine” in my dailies, by this, meaning I started these days to be quite more tidy at home, and stuff like that. I’m not good at routine neither, so I might get some?
As for the 7th, I don’t see it happening, the shinning thing. And then Mercury will be retrograding through my 7th house Leo degrees, ha! I’m doomed!
Hmm sounds like a good idea, IIIejosefina. Or, at least, you’ll be more aware of the dust?? 😉
As for the 7th……ya never know…. It won’t be just the Sun, but venus first and then mars will be marching through there–
Work and then relationships highlighted…..
Could very well be work. And any competent astrologer would ask “how’s your health” which could mean just time for that yearly check-up?
Seeing my doctor next Friday, appointment was already set two weeks ago. Hopefully I’m ok, and I might be even healthier? like Summer makes my legs heavy to walk 🙁 maybe they recommend me something.
Started cleaning more often, and with new cleaning products due to my allergy, not that I didn’t clean before, but now it’s “deeper” cleaning, and tide up.
Was thinking, is it that I -as an Aqua rising – attract people needing to be appreciated? because I was thinking about this and makes SO MUCH SENSE, it’s a pattern, but then again, don’t we all need to be appreciated in relationships?
Yay! I love being right 🙂 Hmm heavy legs. Makes me wonder about water retention. If you are drinking enough. Also about your shoes! Do you walk more in summer?
Aqua Rising yes… bringing in the Leo and maybe you like them too. Yes, I think we all need appreciation but for SOME, well, it’s a matter of degree. I think it’s a Leo hallmark. Because if they don’t get it… watch out! A little, or not so little, tantrum. Someone else may let it just float and then move on….. And they need to be appreciated for everything. If your Leo changes the lighbulb, make sure to thank them for their hard work 😉
Yes, you were so right about the medical stuff 🙂 will know more by Friday.
I never dated a Leo (I actually don’t fancy them much) but everyone I dated was having issues with being appreciated, that I can tell. My Scorpio Sun and Venus along with my Pisces Moon makes me sort of emotional nurse.
This manifest as being together until them or I believe they are “cured”, always very Uranians break ups.
Good luck at the Doc. All should be well 🙂
Yes, the Scorpio/Leo square, I find, is one of the toughest ones. Fixed energy and fixed battle (stubborn!) and…. Leo needs to shine and Scorpio, well, Scorpio, to me, is just always in charge and may poo-poo the Leo shine a bit…. which Leo won’t like one bit. And Scorpio doesn’t enjoy the constant attention that Leo needs. It can be an energy suck. No offense to Leos! And of course we see Scorp/Leo combos all the time, in people or in couples.
