"Me Leo, King of the Jungle, Meow!"
All the planets of the Solar System merrily Samba around the Sun at different tempi and from various distances. Taken with the Sun, they all distribute individual intelligence, styles, and abilities throughout the entire chart.
The planets modify the influence of the Sun in a chart according to their own particular natures, strengths and positions. Their positions must be calculated for each year and day, and their function and expression in a horoscope will change as they move from one area of the Zodiac to another.
The Sun is the center of existence. Around this naming sphere all the planets revolve in endless orbits. Our star is constantly sending out its beams of light and energy without which no life on Earth would be possible. In astrology it symbolizes everything we are trying to become, the center around which all of our activity in life will always revolve. It is the basic symbol of nature and describes the natural and constant thread that runs through everything that we do from birth to death on this planet.
To early astrologers, the sun seemed to be another planet because it crossed the heavens every day, just like the rest of the bodies in the sky.
It is the only star near enough to be seen well – it is, in fact, a dwarf star. Approximately 860,000 miles in diameter it is about ten times as wide as the giant planet Jupiter. The next nearest star is nearly 300,000 times as far away, and if the Sun were located as far away as most of the bright stars, it would be too faint to be seen without a telescope.
Everything in the horoscope ultimately revolves around this singular body. Although other forces may be prominent in the charts of some individuals, still the Sun is the total nucleus of being and symbolizes the complete potential Of every human being alive. It is the life force. Your whole essence comes from the position of the Sun. You are always trying to express the Sun according to its position by house and sign. Possibility for all development is found in the Sun, and it marks the fundamental character of your personal aura.
It is the symbol of strength, vigor, wisdom, dignity,
ardor and generosity, and the ability for a person to function as a mature
individual. It is also a creative force in society – the consciousness
of the gift of life.
The underdeveloped solar nature is arrogant, pushy,
undependable and proud, and is constantly using force.
Never put these assertive beasts, born under the fifth sign of the Zodiac, in a group class. Offer private lessons so that they can be taught to dance according to their own natural, super ability, and not what the average herd dictates… I AM KING OF THE JUNGLE so wair! These cool, dancing Cats make great competitors, grand champions - they seldom give up easily, always persevering until the fat lady croaks and victory is assured.
Practising for hours comes smoothly to these determined, carnivorous creatures, and when their ascendant is pure Leo property, they produce the best dancers and dance instructors in the business. Should your teacher border the slave-driver type, or appear to be a maniacal martinet or a task-mastering tormentor then thank your lucky Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and bow to the Sun for bestowing this cruel blessing upon you… you are in a superlative status stratum; astronomically known as Leoloniantranscendental order.
Their deep drive and desire to win might cause a tear or two but, sweet victory is mostly always the inevitable prize, so grin and bear… when the lion roars. Leo is a stable sign; has the ability to see things through to the bitter end without wavering on his/her standpoint, ignoring all negative commentary or influence from alien other bodies.
Dancers born under this sign generally know how to stand on their own two feet… thank dancing GOODNESS for that; her daddy never taught her to tramp on his foetsies and jingle 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, she had to do it all by her little lonesome self - so fellows, when tip-toeing through the Tango with any furry Feline, who, by the way, is more a sunflower than a wallflower, your toes are safe.
These royal Roarers of the wild are very independent in most of their activities. They know how to direct their energies, channel their talents and handle positions of authority to achieve their ends, and are often at the helm of organisations running things efficiently and effectively. Leo bustles with life and vitality - energy being their powerful dynamo to their strength and well-being.
To others they appear quite snooty, like lordly aristocrats who would never stoop to do anything beneath their dignity… you know, such as picking their nose in public! Looking down on other mere mortals from a faraway constellation is an inborn nobility, not a conscious intention - they're just built that way.
Apart from this aloof King-of-the-Jungle jazz, the Lion and the Lioness are kind-hearted kitties with a deep sense of self-respect, who would never treat others badly, but watch those huge hidden claws, they can be cruel. They believe in being frank and open. On the whole, the Leo person is active and highly strung. If something irritates them or runs against their grain, they will let it be known and their short-tempered trait will emerge as quickly as it will disappear.
The dance which best relates to our purring Pussycats of Venus, is the elegant Viennese Waltz with its classical overtures, noble stance, powerful strength of movement, sentimental tones and royal, stately sounds. Picture Leo surrounded by marble pillars, glittering chandeliers, plush drapery, ornate crockery, and prancing to the Blue Danube of Strauss, while donned in 18th-century ballgown splendour - you've got it! it's a ROAR of a RAVE-UP.
LOVE: Is good times. Affections are wholehearted, emotions deep. There is dedication, protection, compassion. It's brilliance, purposeful; a complete combination. Leo & Leo know how to build, how to contribute, how to support. Love is in strong claws, love conquers all. This one is an unfailing beacon - a mega merge of the souls - their Sun shines brightly, emitting energy and ardour.
PASSION: Is tremendous. L with L is mental exhilaration - serves to soothe, to inspire, to nurture. Idealism propels, good intentions add momentum; there is an awesome surge. Nothing is denied, it's ultra-everything. Continuity flows and caresses. Physical exchange is a blissful culmination of love, passion and romance… purr! meow! and grurrrrr!
Dance: Is rigid. Too automated, too mechanical, too programmed - lacks freedom, ease and naturalness. Cries for an indigenous outpouring of flare and rhythmic expression with a dash of spontaneity. Style and movement over-precise, too correct - bend, flex, give, respond with free-abandon and natural impulse… let the rhythm take control. Attitudes clash but Leo perseverance prevails and triumphs - it's handsome but stark… a rough road to attaining success in partnership dancing but very rewarding. For frolicking fun, Leo co-ords completely with Aries, Sagittarius or Cancer - it's a GAS… cha, cha, cha and WOW!
To our Kings and Queens of the wild; it's not how young or how old you are that matters, it's what you have done or plan to do with your Leo-licking, loving, living years. DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, let the energy pave your grand way to completing life's square circle - have a rip, roooooaring year with a Cha-Cha here, a Waltz there and a lekker Lambada everywhere - HAPPY! HAPPY!
