Leo: Creativity, Eros, and the Inner Light
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 the family, the emotions, and childhood development. By the end of the journey through Cancer, the child that was born and being nurtured by its family develops an independent personality and wants to share it with the world. Like the Sun, the child has a life spark, an inner vitality, and feels the natural impulse to shine their light outward.
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.
