The Great Sphinx, probably the world's oldest standing monument, is a tribute to the astrological sign Leo. This was photographed by our friend Charlie Lemay with Fuji Velvia film. Prior cover: Laura from the Book of Blue.

Today as of 6:55 am EDT, the Sun has arrived in in Leo. Leo is the sign of the Sun, our central source of power, light, heat and awareness. All of the energy we use on Earth comes from the Sun: be it in the form of trees, oil or solar power. Leo is a fixed sign, aligned with three others on the fixed cross of the heavens — Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius. It represents the peak of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and of winter in the Southern Hemisphere, though winter tends to be a lot warmer on the south side of the planet than up in say Alaska, Finland or Maine.

The Planet Waves Monthly horoscope is now available to Planet Waves Astrology News and Small World Stories subscribers. For those of you still wondering if you should subscribe, here is a sneak peek of the Leo horoscope:

LEO -- You have endured a long night which has tested your strength, your endurance and moreover, your faith in yourself. You have come through not only alive, but liberated of a sense of burden that you carried around for an unthinkably long time. I suggest you take not a moment but rather every moment you remember to thank yourself for having passed through this series of rather incredible trials. I'm sure that you sense your life has plenty of room for improvement, so you might not want to soak too deeply in gratitude. You may also find yourself in a new state of crisis at this very moment, but it's more like an aftershock than an earthquake. Having completely rearranged the landscape of your life during the past three years, the ground is taking some time to settle. The improvements you are seeking will arrive; not by accident, not by luck, but rather as a result of your willingness to do what is so often considered the least desirable thing in the world: and that is change. One of the reasons for this reluctance, on a structural level, is that it can seem to threaten our relationships. But your relationships are also changing. Someone close to you is maturing, growing and evolving in ways that you would not believe at first, if you could see them clearly. Soon enough, you will, though remember: part of what is implied by growth is independence.

Eric writes, "My work is client-centered rather than chart centered; that is, the chart plays a vital role in the work, but the focus is on you. It is less a straight 'reading' and much more of an interactive process where you and your chart both participate in the dialog. I work with minor planets and can address any question you have about their role in your chart and your life; these include Chiron, Pholus, Nessus, Eris, Varuna and others you have read about here and elsewhere."
