Leo Birthdays: The Nature of Fear and Desire

Dear Cousin Leo:

Your birthday audio for 2011 is finished. I've prepared a comprehensive reading for you, covering the astrology for your sign in about 70 minutes (in two segments) and offering a tarot reading of just under half an hour. This is presented as an easy to follow audio format that you can play as many times as you like, or you may download the file.

Your reading is based primarily on the Leo New Moon chart, which is a rather rich piece of astrological creation. The Sun and Moon are conjunct the asteroid Psyche, which is a little like Chiron but influencing the psychic sphere of awareness. This is the opportunity to heal and make peace with a lingering spiritual issue that has now finally come up to get attention. Psyche indicates one of those matters you never thought you would resolve; but suddenly it seems possible.

Much of how you shift this is by exploring the relationship between your inner world and the outer world; between your deepest fears and your most authentic desires. We usually go for the desires without even acknowledging the fears that come with them. Through the Sun's transit through Leo, Mars in Cancer is making many aspects to other planets, which is stirring up this seeming dilemma. This is releasing a lot of psychic energy -- and I explain how you can direct this for productive purposes, especially in your professional life.

Through most of your birthday season, Mercury is retrograde, which suggests the themes of self-esteem, self-worth and their relationship to your perception of money. You seem to be on a deep inquiry about the nature of what is important to you, as well as your sense of worth as you perceive it in the world around you. Leo is a sign with very specific ideas about money, its use, and financial ethics -- all such questions are in high focus right now, particularly with the economy being so strange.

And in your relationships, the theme returns to clarity. It's as if you're doing one last round of cleanup on a particular boundary issue that you have put enormous work into through a long phase of time. This will be easier now that you've identified clarity as a primary desire. I suggest you work for it in all ways, from inner awareness to communication with others, to making sure your agreements and contracts cover your real goals and desires.
