Leo: Creativity, Radiance, and Being Seen
Leo is the 5th astrological archetype and the second fire sign. It is a natural progression of energy from the previous archetype of Cancer, which was focused on childhood development, the family, and emotional nurturing. We see the transition from Cancer to Leo when the child develops an independent personality and wants to share it with the world. Like the Sun, the child possesses a life spark and inner vitality, and feels the natural impulse to shine.
Aries: Freedom, Identity, and the Right to Exist
Aries is born from the ocean of Pisces as a thrust of forward-moving life force energy. The Aries ram, with it’s horns still dripping wet from having just emerged from the cosmic sea, acutely feels the promise of new life that it holds. With a whole life ahead, Aries can sense that it has a special and unique identity waiting to be discovered.
