So the reason I'm writing to finish off this amazing eclipse series on the Leo/

Aquarius axis is to share what I've learned during these past 19 months.


I've finally understood what it means to be 'lion-hearted' and to live with my 'heart's hope'. While I am an initiated priestess of Sekhmet, the lioness Goddess of Egypt, it has been this Leo/Aquarius eclipse series that has brought me full awareness of what it means to be lion-hearted.

To be lion-hearted means to be protective of life, to be strong, to be wild and fierce, to be loving and playful, to live according to natural law, connected to all the rest of Nature through Gaia's web of life.


Lions are the stewards of the land. Lion and Lioness, both literally and symbolically, show us the mystery of love, truth and light. Any study of history and mythology will show that lions and lionesses always attended the kings and queens, heroes and heroines. They are humanity's friends and protectors.


To be lion-hearted , we must first leave behind fear. Fear is coded into our reptilian brain - our fight or flight instinct -- but it doesn't have to take over our conscious attitude. As King of the Animals , the lion walk s and guard s his land, he eats of the animals (who eat the plants and drink the waters ) who live on the land and ke eps the balance of Nature. Lions teach us that we are all connected and if we can face our fears (shadows) and embrace them as our Beloved, we can create balance, calm and peace within and around ourselves. The lion reminds us that it is time to remember that all life is a blessing and that we're connected to Mother Earth's web of life.


It's time to come in from the cold. We are all related.


If we're lion-hearted , we know it is our responsibility (Saturn in Capricorn) to steward and protect our land and our people, to be kings and queens/leaders when we see what needs to be done. In ancient times, the falcon-headed god Horus, associated with the Solar Logos of Cosmic Law (Aquarius and the eagle) , is associated with lions as well. Horus is a culture-bringer, as is the Lion who stewards his land and keeps things in balance .
