EL TIEMPO LEO EN ASTROLOGÍA 2017-2019
Tenemos varios ciclos que cambian la vida en el signo de Leo , entre 2017 y 2019 . Si tiene factores Leo en su gráfico, se activarán. Leo está asociado con el liderazgo, particularmente de niños y adultos jóvenes, quienes heredan la autoridad de los adultos. Gobierna a sus herederos al trono:ahijados, sobrinas, sobrinos, hijos, hijas, suegros jóvenes, hijastros. Leo también gobierna amantes y parejas anteriores, actuales o potenciales.
Si tiene uno o más factores en Leo en su carta natal, entonces el Nodo Norte en Leo ya se ha alineado con estos o lo hará, para el 6 de noviembre de 2018. El Nodo Norte gobierna el karma. Lo que va, vuelve.
Si no tiene su carta natal, puede recoger una como Miembro Premium ahora. Estos gráficos le muestran los 34 factores de la astrología moderna, no solo los planetas. Si descubre que tiene un stellium de Leo (tres o más ubicaciones en Leo), entonces el "clima" de Leo desde ahora hasta enero de 2019 afectará fuertemente sus relaciones sexuales y el impacto de los niños o jóvenes en su mundo. Tenemos una cadena de eclipses en Leo que lo alterará todo.
EL LEÓN Y LAS FAMILIAS REALES
El símbolo del león ha dominado la heráldica desde el siglo XII. Los astrólogos en la antigüedad establecieron la conexión entre los reyes de las bestias y el rey de una nación. Encontrarás el león en los escudos de armas de Inglaterra, Escocia, Dinamarca, Suecia, Letonia, Estonia, Finlandia, Montenegro, Países Bajos, Bélgica, Luxemburgo, República Checa, Noruega, España, Bulgaria.
La estrella Regulus dentro de la constelación de Leo significa "pequeño rey". Esta puede ser una de las razones por las que Leo se asocia con los jóvenes:pequeños reyes y reinas; príncipes y princesas. Esta fotografía del Palacio de Buckingham , que llegó a mi línea de tiempo de Twitter, lo dice todo. Si quieres saber cómo es Leo, aquí está (abajo). Incluso los tipos Leo que no tienen hijos (como Beatrix Potter ) tienden a reunir una corte o dinastía joven a su alrededor. En su caso, fue su gran número de lectores.
CÓMO EL NODO NORTE EN LEO ESTÁ ACTIVAR KARMA
CÓMO EL NODO NORTE EN LEO ESTÁ ACTIVAR KARMA
A partir de la larga asociación con leones, Leo, reyes/reinas de la jungla y familias reales en astrología, trabajamos con la idea del cortejo (literalmente, el romance en el dormitorio real en la corte) y así Leo y la Quinta Casa en astrología son mucho sobre sus relaciones sexuales, ya sean encuentros breves o matrimonios duraderos, y los hijos que resultan o no resultan. A medida que el Nodo Norte pasa por Leo, 2017-2018, el pasado regresará. Y regresa.
Mientras escribo esto en julio de 2017, el Nodo Norte se encuentra en 25 Leo, por lo que si tiene factores en la carta en 29, 28, 27, 26 Leo, entonces el Nodo ya ha hecho su trabajo y ha planteado preguntas típicas de Leo/Quinta Casa, remontándose a tu pasado. Tu Nodo Norte siempre nos remite al pasado. Viejas preguntas, temas familiares. Esto puede hacerle retroceder años o incluso décadas.
EL NODO NORTE, MERCURIO RETRÓGRADO Y CERES EN LEO
El clima astrológico en el signo de Leo el león es notable, de cara al futuro. También tenemos al poderoso planeta Ceres moviéndose a través de 0-29 grados de Leo desde el domingo 24 de septiembre de 2017 y permanecerá allí hasta el jueves 28 de junio de 2018.
El Nodo trae elecciones kármicas. Viejas deudas y créditos para tu alma, en base a esta y quizás otras vidas. Lo que hiciste, en el contexto de tu dormitorio real, o cualquier heredero de tu trono, regresa en este momento para ser tratado.
El potente planeta enano Ceres, sin embargo, trae cambios tremendos. Un nuevo mundo. Un nuevo orden. Se podría decir que sus herederos y repuestos, su dormitorio real y sus cortejos están en reconstrucción. Entonces, no se trata solo de completar el círculo con otros, se trata de transformar la forma en que todo funciona. Eso es lo que hace Ceres.
MERCURIO RETRÓGRADO EN LEO
Junto con el Nodo en Leo y Ceres también, tenemos dos largos ciclos retrógrados de Mercurio a través del signo del león, hasta 2018, que llevarán las discusiones o el papeleo de un lado a otro. Entonces, esto comienza a parecer una fase clave de dos años para las preocupaciones personales de Leo (las personas más jóvenes en su mundo que heredarán el legado de su personalidad, o sus genes) y los problemas globales (líderes y quienes los suceden). Quizás este ciclo se trate de 'leones jóvenes' o príncipes para ti. Hijastros potenciales, tal vez, si estás saliendo con un padre mayor divorciado. Tal vez se trata del niño pequeño que quieres tener, algún día. Una cosa es segura:con dos ciclos de Mercurio retrógrado en Leo para 2019, esta será una conversación muy larga.
LO QUE HACEN LOS NODOS - VOLVER - Y ATRÁS - Y ATRÁS
LO QUE HACEN LOS NODOS - VOLVER - Y ATRÁS - Y ATRÁS
El Nodo Norte tarda 18,6 años en girar, por lo que cualquier ciclo del Nodo a través de Leo tiene una sensación de "una vez cada dos décadas". El Nodo en Leo no ocurre todos los días. Debido a que el Nodo también funciona hacia atrás a través de los signos del zodíaco (pasará de Leo, no a Virgo, sino a Cáncer, Géminis, Tauro, Aries a continuación), los astrólogos asocian los patrones de 2017-2019, con un 'Atrás, atrás, atrás' patrón. Tal vez a una vida anterior, si está abierto a la idea de la reencarnación y las vidas pasadas.
Puede encontrar que lo que sucedió la última vez que el Nodo Norte estuvo en Leo, desde el 21 de octubre de 1998 hasta el 9 de abril de 2000, se repite ahora. Quizás nació un niño entonces, y ese niño ahora es un adulto, a punto de irse de casa.
Otro ejemplo sería un viejo patrón de relación que regresa para atormentarte. El regreso de un antiguo amante. Una elección predestinada de 'bifurcación en el camino' sobre un embarazo que no perseguiste, hace 18 o 19 años.
EL NODO EN LEO:DESTINADO A PASAR UNA VEZ CADA 19 AÑOS
Sue Tompkins, escribiendo en El manual del astrólogo contemporáneo (Flare Publications, The London School of Astrology 2006) señala:“Para tener una idea del significado de los nodos, imagina salir con algún plan en mente y luego chocar inesperadamente con alguien (quizás alguien que no has visto en 19 años) que está siguiendo su propio camino particular. La reunión puede anunciar un cambio de dirección para usted. La conversación que tienen entre ustedes podría hacer eso. Puede haber un sentimiento de destino por el hecho de que sus caminos se hayan cruzado”.
Si agrega los eclipses de Leo en 2017, 2018 y principios de 2019, aumenta la sensación de rareza sobre nuestro próximo "clima" de Leo. Los eclipses solo pueden tener lugar en el camino Nodal y, como lo demuestra Stonehenge, fueron eventos trascendentales. Dos veces al año, cualquier luna llena o nueva se cruza en el camino del Sol y vemos un eclipse. Estas dos temporadas de eclipses se mueven hacia atrás en el calendario y tardan 18,6 años en terminar un ciclo. Los puntos en los que la trayectoria de la Luna se cruza con la del Sol son los Nodos. Por lo tanto, el sentido de 'Atrás, atrás, atrás' en el tiempo.
EL LEO ECLIPSA DE 2017 A 2019:CUIDADO CON LOS PUNTOS CIEGOS
Si tiene factores de Leo en estos grados (permitiendo un orbe de hasta un grado), entonces en las fechas en cuestión, permitiendo 24 horas a ambos lados, debe tener en cuenta los puntos ciegos, la información faltante o las imágenes incompletas. Estos se referirán a sus relaciones sexuales (pasadas, presentes, potenciales) y a cualquier niño en su mundo. Incluimos en esta lista ahijados, hijastros, parientes jóvenes y también adultos jóvenes con los que tiene una relación profesional. Los eclipses ocultan, nunca revelan. Por lo tanto, permita que pase el tiempo antes de actuar o emitir un juicio sobre estos asuntos importantes.
Un eclipse es exactamente lo que podrías suponer. Un período poco claro, parcheado u oscurecido. No es ni negativo ni positivo. Simplemente no te muestra lo que normalmente debería.
A escala mundial, veremos encubrimientos que involucran a la familia real británica, pero también a la familia estadounidense de la Casa Blanca. . Los líderes y sus hijos, y sus parientes jóvenes. Veré los impactos globales de estos eclipses más adelante en esta historia, pero por ahora, aquí están las fechas de los eclipses en su totalidad, a lo largo de este inusual período de dos años. Esta fotografía de Donald Trump y su dinastía lo dice todo. De hecho, hay un león de juguete en la fotografía. Estoy seguro de que has visto esta imagen antes. Me llegó en Twitter y se ha compartido en Internet. El 'heredero' de Donald cabalga sobre el león Leo, al frente de una cadena de eclipses de Leo.
LAS FECHAS DE LOS SEIS GRANDES LEO ECLIPSE DE 2017 A 2019
LAS FECHAS DE LOS SEIS GRANDES LEO ECLIPSE DE 2017 A 2019
La extraña danza del Sol y la Luna en estas fechas tendrá un poderoso impacto en los líderes mundiales, sus hijos y sus relaciones sexuales. En su propia vida, es posible que prefiera tomar decisiones importantes en su vida en otro momento.

POR QUÉ IMPORTAN LOS ECLIPSES:STONEHENGE Y LOS ECLIPSES EN LEO
¿Cuánto importan los eclipses? Ponlo de esta manera. Los Antiguos se arriesgaron a morir arrastrando algunas piedras enormes, un camino muy largo, para crear Stonehenge. El círculo de Aubrey de 56 hoyos en Stonehenge es un asombroso predictor de eclipses.
Astrónomo, Profesor Sir Fred Hoyle Primero señaló que así era como se pudo haber usado el círculo. Escribir en Stonehenge (Libros de madera, 2000) Robin Heath Notas que muchos visitantes piensan que la construcción de piedra central es todo lo que hay en Stonehenge y apenas notan los agujeros de Aubrey llenos de hormigón cuando pasan por encima de ellos. Él escribe:"Pero, como demostró Hoyle, estos son numéricamente perfectos para predecir eclipses, y también pueden mostrar las posiciones del Sol y la Luna, la fase lunar y el estado de las mareas". El círculo de los 56 hoyos de Aubrey fue excavado alrededor del año 3000 a.C.
DE JFK A LA PRINCESA DIANA:LOS ECLIPSES TIENEN LA VERDAD
Los eclipses importaban entonces, como importan ahora. Siempre son encubrimientos y frecuentemente afectan la historia mundial. Kennedy fue asesinado después de que Oswald dejó su trabajo para ir a Texas, en un eclipse. La princesa Diana murió días antes de un eclipse.
Los eclipses no son ni buenos ni malos, como les he dicho a los lectores en mi sitio web muchas veces, pero bloquean la luz . Nunca revelan, siempre ocultan. Esta cadena de eclipses en Leo parecerá más bien una colcha de retazos, llena de parches faltantes y pliegues ocultos. Esos eclipses en particular eran de naturaleza oscura, porque las cartas personales de JFK y Diana estaban en ángulo de esa manera. Si tuviéramos datos de nacimiento claros para la dinastía Trump (están en conflicto o faltan), entonces tal vez encontraríamos que el clima de Leo también llega a esos gráficos, hasta 2019. Tal vez encontraríamos que el león de juguete en la fotografía de Trump tiene un mensaje para nosotros. . Esto es lo real, abajo:la antigua constelación de Leo el león.
LEO Y EL DORMITORIO REAL:ASUNTOS, HEREDEROS Y REPUESTOS
Leo, ese símbolo histórico de emperadores y reyes, es valentía, nobleza y fuerza. También se trata de líneas de sangre, el corazón humano y los deseos. Los matrimonios arreglados con fines dinásticos no siempre significaron alegría en el dormitorio (el rey Enrique VIII es prueba de ello) y por eso tanto la amante como la cortesana están asociadas con León y su alcoba real. La reina Isabel I sabía que perdería su poder si se casaba, por lo que siguió siendo la reina virgen, entreteniendo admiradores, que solo podían arrojar sus capas sobre los charcos, según cuenta la historia. El amor cortés y el enamoramiento distante se asocian con Leo tanto como una cama con dosel. Así son Royal Bastards , que genuinamente se llamaban así. Hoy, el estigma de los hijos ilegítimos se ha desvanecido, pero hace siglos, los asuntos, herederos y repuestos eran un asunto muy serio. La Quinta Casa, y Leo, su regente, mantienen la asociación.
PRINCESS MARGARET:UNA VIDA AMOROSA MUY LEO
La princesa Margarita, Leo, es uno de los mejores ejemplos del siglo XX de lo que podríamos llamar una vida amorosa muy Leo. Estaba enamorada de un hombre divorciado. Como el "repuesto" de su hermana, ese tipo de matrimonio simplemente no estaba permitido. Lo que se permitió fue que la princesa Isabel, su hermana, se encontrara con el teniente Phillip Mountbatten, hijo del príncipe Andrés de Grecia , en la coronación de sus padres. Ese fue un partido dinástico apropiado. Si profundizas en la historia de los dormitorios reales, encuentras toda la cuestión de las líneas de sangre y la línea de sucesión es el problema real. Esta historia de Leo rodea a la Casa de Windsor. El príncipe Carlos está casado con una mujer divorciada. Él mismo está divorciado. La maldición del dormitorio real nunca desaparece del todo con Leo. Los tránsitos 2017-2019 lo encenderán. ¡Regreso al futuro!
LEO DE CORAZÓN- MENTORÍA, CAPACITACIÓN, EDUCACIÓN, ENSEÑANZA, TUTORAS, ORIENTACIÓN
La asociación de larga data entre el signo de Leo, la Quinta Casa y la educación proviene del hecho de que uno podía nacer rey, pero también tenía que aprender a ser monarca. Asociamos el signo zodiacal de Sagitario con la academia, pero Leo se trata de orientación y capacitación en todos los ámbitos. En el fondo, Leo el león se trata de criar a los jóvenes. Dejar el legado de tu personalidad a una corte más joven, aquellos que heredan tu guía, es una tradición Leo.
Leo y la Quinta Casa tienen que ver con la educación, ya sea informal o formal; adolescentes en la Royal Air Force en la última guerra fueron entrenados para convertirse en artilleros, observadores, pilotos. A todos los niños de la realeza británica se les enseña la etiqueta y cómo montar. La guía de Leo puede ser inesperada. Profesor Higgins enseñando a la plebeya Eliza Doolittle cómo hablar y comportarse, en Pygmalion de George Bernard Shaw es un ejemplo.
LEO:DE CRAWFIE A HARRY POTTER
La educación Leo se trata de Miss Marion Crawford (Crawfie), institutriz de las jóvenes Princesa Isabel y Princesa Margarita, enseñándoles sobre el deporte de los reyes, con la ayuda de 30 caballos de juguete, y sí, a las jóvenes princesas se les permitió ponerle un arnés. La historia registra que su padre, el mismo Rey, dijo que su hermana María era un caballo “hasta que salió” como debutante.
Leo y la Quinta Casa a veces se escriben como una caja de sorpresas para todo en astrología. Puede elegir algunos libros o hacer clic en algunos sitios web y encontrar esta combinación dedicada a todo, desde bailes folclóricos hasta libros de cocina de sushi. La palabra "creativo" se usa mucho con Leo, pero en realidad, no tiene nada que ver con la creatividad en sí. Las diversiones, distracciones, entretenimientos y actividades de Leo tienen como objetivo vincular a los jóvenes de la dinastía con los viejos. Hay una razón seria para la vinculación de fin de semana. Esto va más allá de esos libros de astrología de los años ochenta con todas sus referencias de Morris Dancing y macramé a Leo, el león y la Quinta Casa. Se trata de la supervivencia de la dinastía.
Esto realmente nos retrotrae a la historia de la realeza británica, cuando los matrimonios arreglados y una sobrecarga de cuidado de niños podían dar como resultado padres que apenas se conocían e hijos que apenas veían a sus padres. Este tipo de separación podría resultar en tal frialdad de corazones en el reino que las hijas podrían derrocar a los padres (como en 1688). No en vano, la reina Victoria hizo todo lo posible para encontrar entretenimientos y actividades al aire libre que jóvenes y mayores pudieran compartir en su dinastía. La familia que juega unida, permanece unida (o al menos no intenta asesinar entre sus filas, como Richard III se suponía que debía haberlo hecho).
DIVERSIÓN PARA TODA LA FAMILIA:¡ALERTA!
Las carreras de caballos están en manos de Leo y la Quinta Casa, pero los juegos de azar no son algo que los niños puedan hacer, aunque pueden saltar cuando su corcel favorito cruza la línea de meta. Por lo tanto, podría decirse que la equitación y el polo son actividades de Leo, pero los boletos de apuestas de Paddy Power , no tanto. El fútbol, que une a las generaciones, es Leo si se lee en ese contexto:como una forma de que los adultos jueguen a ser niños y los niños a ser adultos.
Leo no es inherentemente creativo. De nada. Hay una idea popular en la astrología, que la creatividad equivale a la eyaculación/inseminación en el horóscopo, por lo que existe una conexión tenue entre Leo y, digamos, el acolchado o el fagot. Es una salida para la 'semilla' que se siembra, parece ser el concepto general con este letrero. Sin embargo, mire al grupo de músicos más salvajemente creativo de la historia y no hay un solo Leo entre ellos. Más bien, Leo parece tratar de encontrar algo que los niños pequeños puedan disfrutar tanto como sus padres. Los reyes leones son entrenados por sus juegos.
HEREDEROS VARONES, PADRES, REYES
Parte del problema con las historias de Leo en nuestras vidas es la antigua tradición del varón "heredero y repuesto" y esto nos lleva de vuelta a cuestiones de fertilidad, orden de nacimiento y el resto. El liderazgo hereditario trae problemas en la estructura de poder. Para que conste, Leo es un signo zodiacal masculino, regido por el Sol, que está asociado con los padres, al igual que la Luna está asociada con las madres. Cuando Plutón estaba en Leo, Hitler intentó establecer Alemania como Patria.
La primogenitura es el estado de ser el primogénito en una familia real. es feudal Significa que toda la tierra va al hijo mayor. La Ley de Sucesión a la Corona de 2013 en el Reino Unido cambió esta regla sexista, de modo que la corona puede ir al hijo mayor de cualquier sexo, hombre o mujer.
En el siglo XX, la princesa Ana solo ocupó el puesto de "suplente" del heredero, el príncipe Carlos, hasta el nacimiento de su hermano menor, el príncipe Andrés, cuando ella tenía nueve años. Luego saltó sobre ella en la línea de sucesión.
Más cerca de casa, el arquetipo de Leo se trata del padre que es rey en su castillo, la casa familiar hipotecada que paga. Eso lo heredarán sus hijos e hijas, pero también la influencia de su personalidad, valores, habilidades, talentos y demás.
EL AMOR QUE NO SE ATREVE A PRONUNCIAR SU NOMBRE:LOS SECRETOS DE LA CÁMARA DE LEO
¿Qué sucede cuando el heredero no tiene hijos y el repuesto puede ser homosexual? ¿Qué sucede cuando el dormitorio real, ese hogar del privilegio real, permite que el gobernante haga lo que le plazca, con quien le plazca, lo que digan las leyes del día sobre el sexo?
La sexualidad se asocia principalmente con los matrimonios de Libra (nupcias de homosexuales y lesbianas, iguales a las parejas heterosexuales) y las transacciones financieras y de propiedad mortalmente serias de los amantes de Escorpio. Leo está asociado con historias de homosexuales, lesbianas y transgénero debido a su perenne preocupación por el romance, el enamoramiento y la cargada cuestión de la línea de sucesión.
Plutón en Leo en los años cuarenta estuvo marcado por Evelyn Waugh novela, Revisión de Brideshead , sobre una familia aristocrática cuyo heredero no tenía hijos propios, y cuyo repuesto masculino era alcohólico, y muy posiblemente gay. Sebastian Flyte también fue lo más cercano que pudieron llegar a ser las novelas de guerra, al antihéroe del "amor que no se atreve a pronunciar su nombre" con su amigo, Charles Ryder.
Durante los años de Plutón en Leo, el 31 de diciembre de 1948, el Informe Kinsey asombró a los Estados Unidos de América y al mundo. Afirmó que el 56% de los hombres estadounidenses eran infieles. De los 5.300 hombres estadounidenses entrevistados, el 90 % se masturbaba y un 37 % alcanzaba el orgasmo con otros hombres. El amor que no se atreve a pronunciar su nombre, pronunció su nombre a medida que avanzaba este patrón de Leo. Si tienes patrones exactos en tu carta que involucran factores en Leo y la Quinta Casa, es muy probable que tu sexualidad y tu historia de vida amorosa sean complicadas. Tal vez sea un Informe Kinsey por sí solo.
ARISTÓCRATAS AMERICANOS:LEO, CLASE Y ESTADOS UNIDOS
Cuando los estadounidenses expulsaron a los británicos y al rey Jorge III, la aristocracia no terminó. Así como la realeza en Europa se casaba dentro de su propia clase, encontramos a la sociedad estadounidense del siglo XVIII siguiendo líneas similares. Los 'aristos' estadounidenses eran hijos de familias británicas de clase alta que no podían heredar, debido a su orden de nacimiento. En cambio, vinieron a América en busca de tierras. Hoy la aristocracia se ha trasladado a la democracia y con ello los ocupantes de la Casa Blanca. También es posible que desee buscar en Virginia una vieja historia de American Leo.
LA FAMILIA REAL BRITÁNICA Y EL LÍNEA DE SANGRE LEO:PREDICCIONES
Las ubicaciones de Leo se pueden encontrar en el árbol genealógico real británico, por supuesto, pero las ramas inmediatas de la Casa de Windsor muestran patrones fuertes en el signo del león. El Príncipe Carlos tendrá su Regreso de Ceres en Leo, al igual que el Príncipe George y Su Majestad la Reina, durante ese ciclo crucial de Ceres:Ceres ingresa a Leo el domingo 24 de septiembre de 2017 y permanece allí hasta el jueves 28 de junio de 2018.
Así es como se hacen las predicciones astrológicas. Su Majestad la Reina, el Príncipe Carlos y el Príncipe Jorge estarán en el corazón de un nuevo reino, con un reparto de derechos, roles y responsabilidades, entre el 24 de septiembre de 2017 y el 28 de junio de 2018. Habrá un cambio profundo en el línea de sucesión, o la forma en que se manejan los trabajos reales.
FACTORES LEO EN LAS CARTAS ASTRAL DE LOS REALES BRITÁNICOS
La Princesa Ana y la Reina Madre – Sol en Leo
Su Majestad la Reina – Ceres, Proserpina, Neptuno en Leo
Príncipe Guillermo - Hygiea y Proserpina en Leo
Príncipe Felipe – Neptuno, Vulcano y la Luna en Leo
Príncipe George – Apolo, Vesta y Ceres en Leo
Princesa Diana – Baco, Minerva, Urano y el Nodo Norte en Leo
Príncipe Carlos – Ascendente, Plutón y Ceres en Leo
LEO, EL CORTEJO Y LAS ABEJAS REINA
La reina Isabel I fue la reina virgen que nunca se casó, ni tuvo un hijo, pero fue cortejada por admiradores. Leo está asociado con colmenas, abejas y abejas reinas en particular. De hecho, la Reina Virgen es el nombre que recibe la hembra de la colmena (no por nada la llaman Jalea Real). Los machos se llaman zánganos y mueren después del apareamiento. Las abejas son una inversión interesante del sexismo habitual que rodea a Leo. Aquí, la Reina gobierna.
LEO Y LA VIDA SEXUAL DE LOS LEONES
El león macho tiene una púa afilada al final de su pene que hiere a la leona al salir después del apareamiento. Esta es la razón por la cual las leonas golpean regularmente a los leones cuando termina el sexo. Los leones machos también son conocidos por matar a sus cachorros. Cuando se hacen cargo de una manada (otra palabra clave de Leo), pueden destruir a todas las crías, lo que hace que las hembras entren en celo nuevamente, para que puedan aparearse con ellas y comenzar su propia línea de sangre.
LEO, ENCANTAMIENTOS, ENAMORAMIENTO Y AMOR CORTESANO
Los drones mueren por su abeja reina. Los monarcas, obligados a casarse por razones dinásticas, tienen amantes y, sí, Royal Bastards. ¿Qué pasa con la larga asociación entre el signo zodiacal de Leo y el amor a distancia? ¿La fiebre del enamoramiento?
Esto realmente viene de la literatura medieval, creada para entretener a la nobleza, donde los caballeros realizaban servicios para sus damas. El término amour Courtois (amor cortés) fue popularizado por Gaston Paris quien usó el caballero Lancelot como su modelo. El amor cortés surgió cuando una amante exigió que su justo caballero hiciera actos valientes y nobles a pedido de ella, para demostrar su dedicación a ella. No necesariamente tenía que terminar en sexo aunque se basaba en el deseo. En 1936,
LEO, HARÉN Y CONCUBINAS
En Oriente, las familias principales y sus cortes incluían un harén y concubinas, pero también eunucos. Esto nos remite a la idea de la alcoba real y la amante, pero también a la abeja reina. y sus zánganos, aunque los eunucos, por supuesto, no podían actuar. Una vez más, el linaje de la línea de sucesión de Leo permanece protegido, con este tipo de fanático célibe chirriante
Las damas fuertemente Leo como Madonna atraen a una corte masculina. El documental En la cama con Madonna es un ejemplo de libro de texto de cómo corre una leona. Esto nos lleva de regreso a la Primera Cruzada de 1099, cuando los poetas se declararían vasallos de la dama, casada con su señor. La rica y poderosa jefa del castillo se sentía halagada y se mantenía ocupada con la atención cuando su marido estaba en una cruzada u otro asunto feudal. Los pobres caballeros podrían ascender socialmente de esta manera.
Volvemos al problema de Royal Bastards y la línea de sucesión, aquí. Además del clásico enigma Acuario-Leo. El líder necesita su mesa redonda de caballeros y su corte, y viceversa. No se puede permitir que el adulterio rompa el círculo o el liderazgo. El amor cortés de Leo se consideraba puramente espiritual, heroico y admirable (no se podía permitir que la lealtad del caballero a su amo se interpusiera en nada más, ni siquiera la ferviente admiración por su esposa)... o, de hecho, el adulterio. La dama, siendo el premio al final de la conquista del caballero. Asociamos los fanáticos y la fanfarria real con Leo.
LEO, LA QUINTA CASA Y EL ROMANCE FINO
Leo y la Quinta Casa se asocian con el romance, más que con el sexo, la muerte y el dinero (eso pertenece a Escorpio ) o el matrimonio sexual de iguales (eso es Libra). Leo trata sobre el tipo de anhelo sexual que es necesariamente de lejos (como el de Camilla para Carlos). Puede ser consumado, pero es peligroso, prohibido. Si va más allá, puede convertirse en Libra o Escorpio en la naturaleza. El dinero y la propiedad cambian de manos, entonces. El amor cortés tenía reglas en el siglo XII. Andreas Capellanus escribió De Amore , con máximas como 'Quien no tiene celos, no puede amar' y 'Cuando se hace público, el amor rara vez perdura'.
EMBARAZOS PLANIFICADOS, EMBARAZOS NO PLANIFICADOS, ABUELOS Y NIETOS
El amor cortés está muy lejos de los años sesenta y la introducción de la píldora anticonceptiva. Sin embargo, incluso con la anticoncepción moderna, las historias de Leo continúan contándose en nuestra historia. Rumores de que el Príncipe Harry pelirrojo, peligrosamente encantador, maravillosamente real, fogoso y luchador no es el hijo del príncipe Carlos, continúa a pesar de las firmes negativas. Princesa Diana, con su cadena de fans y admiradores (incluyendo algún que otro trovador y juglar, como Duran Duran ) ciertamente tejió un cuento de la vida real de Leo, pero luego nació con el Nodo en Leo. Ella lo había hecho todo antes. Quizás ella encarnó para hacerlo todo de nuevo. Ella también tenía una firma en la carta Leo.
Andrew Morton famosa biografía de la princesa (ayudada por ella) tiene ecos de De amore libri tres , por Andreas Capellanus , en 1184. Capellanus escribió sobre el "amor puro" que llegó hasta un beso y un abrazo, y "un contacto modesto con el amante desnudo, omitiendo el consuelo final". El trovador más famoso de Diana era gay, por lo que no había dudas sobre el "consuelo final" de Capellanus allí:Sir Elton John dio su serenata más triste en su funeral, Candle in the Wind . Su amante más famoso fue su último amante; el hijo de un hombre que retiró las órdenes reales de Harrods después de una amarga disputa.
La astrología tiene una forma de resonar, sin importar cuán completamente modernas se vuelvan nuestras vidas. El arquetipo de Leo es un buen ejemplo de esto. ¿Cómo fue que finales del siglo XX, con todas sus computadoras, teléfonos móviles y antenas parabólicas, terminaron leyendo como, digamos, la saga del rey Enrique VIII?
LEO, LA ANTIGUA ROMA Y LOS EMPERADORES
Para los líderes romanos no importaba tanto el linaje sino el apellido. Si un hombre reconocía a un hijo como propio, y la ley lo aceptaba, entonces el hijo podía convertirse en heredero. Sin embargo, si el niño no era reconocido, podía dejarse morir (expuesto) o ser criado como esclavo. Claudio primero aceptó a una niña como su hija, luego cambió de opinión y la expuso. Los emperadores, sin embargo, a menudo adoptaron a sus sucesores.
LEO Y EL LADO OSCURO DE LA SEXUALIDAD
Por lo general, se escribe sobre Escorpio en los libros de astrología como el signo asociado con el lado inaceptable del sexo. Leo no es inmune. La promiscuidad conduce a enfermedades de transmisión sexual. No hay nada particularmente noble, majestuoso o digno en V.D. pero se disparó durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial cuando Plutón estaba en Leo y en 1943 el Arzobispo de Canterbury se sintió movido a hablar sobre ello.
Vladímir Nabokov produjo Lolita en 1955 durante el largo ciclo de Plutón en Leo. El poder del sexo. El poder del adolescente. Esta no era una historia encantadora de amor cortés, caballeros y doncellas. Era la historia de una hijastra nínfula y su padrastro de mediana edad. En el mismo año Francoise Sagan , entonces de dieciocho años, publicó Bonjour Tristesse sobre Cecile, una adolescente que se enfrenta a la amante de su padre viudo.
QUÉ NOS ENSEÑAN LOS CICLOS DE LOS PLANETAS EXTERIORES EN LEO SOBRE EL SIGNO
Otros tránsitos de Leo que involucran los planetas exteriores de movimiento lento también son buenos dispositivos de sincronización, si queremos ver la triste verdad sobre el dormitorio. En 1976, Saturno estaba en Leo, el planeta de las situaciones sombrías, tristes y graves en el signo de la juventud. Jodie Foster interpretó a una niña prostituta en Taxi Driver . En el mismo año, las madres recibieron pagos de compensación de talidomida de la compañía farmacéutica que había afectado a sus bebés mientras aún estaban en el útero. En 1977, Saturno en Leo continuó. Roman Polanski was jailed for sex with a thirteen-year-old girl. That was also the year of the ghastly Yorkshire Ripper. This goes beyond the romping of King Charles II and into darker territory. Perhaps it’s not surprising. Leo the lion is associated with empires and emperors, which takes us to Ancient Rome.
SEX AND THE ROMAN EMPEROR
Modern astrology is based on Roman/Latin ideas, symbols, names, gods and goddesses. The archetypes were shipped to Britain and over a period of 400 years of Roman rule, the charts, the planets and the deities – like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – found their way into British hearts and minds. Astrologers there then gradually exported their horoscopes, and theories, to the United States, Australia and beyond.
The Roman Empire was based on a royal family of emperors whose sexual appetites could only be stopped by assassination. Julius Caesar seduced wives. He famously loved Cleopatra. However, he also loved Servilia, who was suspected of having prostituted her own daughter. There was a song about him, quoted in The Twelve Caesars (Suetonius/Robert Graves/Penguin). ‘Home we bring our bald whoremonger; Romans, lock your wives away! All the bags of gold you lent him, Went his Gallic tarts to pay.’ If you’re looking at Leo the lion, you can’t really ignore this very early tale of leaders and their love lives.
TIBERIUS, NERO AND THE ROYAL BEDCHAMBER
Emperor Tiberius gives us a horrific variation on the ‘royal prerogative’ of the ruler’s bedchamber. Often, he did not even bother with a bed. He had a private sporting-house at Capreae with girls and young men, known as spintriae, who would 
copulate before him in groups of three. Boys and girls were dressed as Pans and nymphs, prostituting themselves in the caverns. According to Suetonius, he called the little boys who swam with him ‘minnows’. Babies were not immune from his depravity. Today he would be in prison. Then, he was a symbol of royal power gone mad. Nero seduced boys and married women. He raped the Vestal Virgin Rubria. He tried to turn a boy, Sporus, into a girl – by castration. He married Sporus with a dowry and bridal veil, to complete. He desired his own mother, Agrippina but instead found a mistress who resembled her. It goes on. Absolute power, in Rome, corrupted absolutely. We are into Scorpio territory here too, with all the poisonous murders and the vast riches that surrounded the nobility in the ancient world, but Leo is certainly a symbol of empire and emperor, and the Romans took this power to its horrific logical extreme. The Roman Empire was an absolute monarchy gone absolutely mad. Which brings us to genetics.
LEO AND INTERMARRIAGE
The history of empires and royal families is also the history of intermarriage so that property and power remains in a tight circle. Emperor Hirohito of Japan (1901-1989) was the longest-reigning ruler in that country’s history – and he also married his distant cousin, a Princess. In Rome, Nero was thought to be born from his mother’s adultery with his own stepfather. History tells us, monarchy – the great Leo symbol – blurs lines.
FITZROY, ROYAL BASTARDS AND THE BATON SINISTER
Who are the most famous Royal Bastards? Edmund in Shakespeare’s King Lear is one. Henry Fitzroy, son of King Henry VIII is another. The Duke of Monmouth, son of Charles II is yet another. In fact, the surname ‘Fitzroy’ means ‘son of a king’ and was used by many pretenders to the throne, who were born out of wedlock, to the wrong woman.
In medieval England, a bastard’s coat of arms was marked with a Baton Sinister – a bend. History also tells us that Cleopatra had a bastard son by Julius Caesar – Caesarion . Charles II fathered at least 20 illegitimate children. His most famous mistress was Nell Gwynn – another mother. Always lurking at the life stories of strongly Leo people is a lingering question about the Baton Sinister. Pregnancies, planned and unplanned.
PLUTO IN LEO AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Discovered in 1930, Pluto was in Leo during the Second World War. Pluto is a symbol of power, the loss of power, and shared power. During the war, it was channelled into questions about sex, pregnancy, adultery, parenthood and children. This cycle which could only have happened once in 240+ years was intense, transformative and unforgettable. It changed the planet.
This was the war when lovers were separated, sometimes by death. Women could be widows while they were teenagers. In 1947, British divorces had doubled within two years. In Nazi Germany, childless Hitler was exploring the idea of breeding a master race. In February 1939, British peers passed the Bastardry Bill making blood tests compulsory in paternity lawsuits. Again, with Pluto in Leo in 1944, genes, or hereditary units, were found to be made from DNA. Leo has always been about bloodlines. The Pluto in Leo children of the war years grew up to become Beatles fans and helped turn teenagers into a new world force.
CHILDREN, TEENAGERS WAR AND PLUTO IN LEO
If Pluto is power and Leo is children and young people, then Pluto in Leo during the last war gave the younger generation tremendous power and influence. In December 1938 as Pluto crossed 1 Leo, German Jewish child refugees began arriving in Britain. One year later, children from Paris were evacuated and British children were sent to the safety of the countryside. The image of a small child carrying a gas mask at a train station is one of the enduring memories we have of this Pluto in Leo war.
More power. On July 20 1939 a five-year-old boy became the new Dalai Lama. A month later, Judy Garland (seventeen years old) became the star of The Wizard of Oz starring Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion, of course. Suddenly, children and teenagers were front-page. Front and centre of the war effort and the reasons why people were fighting. From the Dalai Lama to the ‘fighter boys’ of the R.A.F. they were suddenly coming into their own.
Conscription – The Call-Up – put teenage boys front and centre too. Adolescents became powerful, and so did – appallingly – child soldiers. Numbers – young males – the sons and heirs –became the difference between winning and losing the war, on all sides. In June 1940, with Pluto continuing its transit through Leo, the young Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret became heroic symbols of nationhood as they stayed at Buckingham Palace with King George VI and the Queen Mother, despite being targets.
On October 13 1940 young Elizabeth was a classic Pluto in Leo teenager in power, fronting up to the microphone to give a radio broadcast to child evacuees. She was only fourteen years old. She was sixteen when she registered for war service.
The Pluto in Leo battle for power put innocent children at the heart of the war. Anne Frank was sent to a concentration camp and never returned. She remains the most famous young diarist of all time. A dreadful price was paid by all children at the core of the power struggle over children, timed by Pluto in Leo. In 1944 Hitler ordered the mobilization of all children over the age of ten.
NEPTUNE IN LEO – TESTAMENT OF YOUTH AND WORLD WAR ONE
It is a truth of astrology that both world wars in the 20 century were fought during long outer planet transits of Leo, the sign that rules children and particularly teenagers – young adults. That First World War classic, Testament of Youth, is a lasting statement about the Neptune in Leo years and the young people who were wiped out (a whole generation) by the First World War.
Neptune dashed in and out of Leo in 1914, 1915, 1916 while Kitchener called for volunteers. The Russian Army was notoriously made up partly of children. If Neptune is about unreality then the German chlorine gas on the Western Front was part of that. The young men who gave their lives did so in a mist of patriotism, but the Neptunian reality was gas. The young died for Lord Kitchener, Empire and the King. Teenage runaways who enlisted were a hallmark of the First World War. Australian James Martin was 15 when he joined the Anzacs and died at Gallipolli.
This was the young poet Rupert Brooke’s war. “If I should die, think only this of me:That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England.” This was also the war which saw a poster asking “Daddy, what did YOU do in the Great War?” It was a war about fathers and sons, and the loss of those sons. It was a war about leaders, and the people – and so would the second one be, when just nine years after Pluto’s discovery, he entered Leo and armies of young men, the heirs and spares in their families, would give their lives one more time for king, president, dictator, emperor.
PLUTO IN LEO – SCHOOLBOY KINGS IN THE FORTIES
Quite apart from the Dalai Lama, who became Tibet’s spiritual leader when very young, during the Pluto in Leo cycle – a schoolboy also became King of Jordan. On August 11 1952, Crown Prince Hussein was attending classes at Harrow, at the time, but succeeded King Talal, who had become ill with schizophrenia. The Second World war lionized young men, the heirs and spares, as much as it decimated a whole generation.
EMPEROR HIROHITO, JAPAN AND PLUTO IN LEO
Japan also had a royal bloodline to consider and as emperors and empresses and empires are associated with Leo, the story of Japan in the 1940’s is also central to that Pluto cycle. The most extreme outcome of Pluto in Leo was the surrender of Emperor
Hirohito in Japan, to the allies, in August 1945 after the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . His empire was on its knees even though he had been worshipped as a living god until 1946. Emperor Hirohito ruled until 1989 when his son Akihito succeeded him. As an island monarchy, Japan remains symbolically Leo. The mushroom cloud at Hiroshima is a photograph of Pluto in Leo, doing its worst in a country where an Emperor was God.
EAST TIMOR AND LEO-AQUARIUS STORIES
On 30 August 1999 across the last North Node in Leo cycle and within a fortnight of the total eclipse in Leo, East Timor voted for independence from Indonesia. Leaders Ramos Horta and Xanana Gusmao, who will later become President, show the way. All eyes should be on Indonesia across this new Leo weather and the return of the Node. The old Aquarius-Leo issues of the people, and their leader, will return. When we look at Leo the issue is always leadership, dynasty and heirs, so beyond the striking story of Japan, Emperor Hirohito and the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki for his empire – we can look across to East Timor and modern leadership issues, about to be triggered.
AUSTRALIA AND THE CAMPAIGN FOR A REPUBLIC TO JANUARY 2019
In 1999 during the last Leo Node cycle, a referendum rejected a proposal that Queen Elizabeth II be replaced as head of state by a president, elected by the parliament. As both Her Majesty and Prince Charles have horoscopes heavily weighted in Leo, it seems likely that we’ll see a far larger push for another referendum in 2017-2019. This may be connected to the Ceres Return in Leo set to be experienced by Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince George. If so, we could time a campaign for a new referendum for the passage of Ceres through Leo, as before. Again, this is how astrological predictions are made. The Australian government and/or its opposition will relaunch a campaign for a referendum on a republic, between 24 September 2017 and 28 June 2018. You can see the Australian chart here (click to enlarge) . It’s a Leo free zone.
AUSTRALIA – THE LEO-FREE NATION
There are a couple of charts for Australia. The one set for 7 February 1788 at 11.00am in Sydney shows an empty Fifth House – not so much as one asteroid appears in the royal sign of Leo. Monarchy does not define Australia’s identity. One look at this country and its architecture, art and fashion history and that’s clear.
Leo is associated with monograms, precious jewellery and regalia of all kinds – regal trappings – even in suburbia. Imperial, royal or sovereign status was always signalled by this kind of paraphernalia – notably the crown. Middle-class Leo types wear hats instead. Tiaras, sceptres, bracelets, gloves and rings are all Leonine. Gold is the Leo metal. It’s notably absent from Australian museums, with the notable exception of Dame Edna Everage (Average) who is a potent symbol of a Leo-bypass, Aquarius-heavy nation. It will be interesting to see what happens when Pluto finally moves into Aquarius.
THE LEO COURT AND THE MYTHOLOGY OF VERSAILLES
You can learn about Leo as much from a country with a Leo bypass, as you can from a period of history which exaggerated Leo themes. Versailles (recently the subject of an acclaimed new television series) has given astrology the myths. All these ideas about Leos being courted, and conducting courtships, and 
holding court are nothing without the historic definition of a royal court – and that was Versailles. The Leo archetype revolves around the royal household. The nobility. The bodyguards. Foreign royals in exile who come for refuge. Minstrels and fools. Beyond the Leo court we find butlers, chaplains, ladies-in-waiting, pages, secretaries and the rest. Versailles also had its amusements and jesters. Like all zodiac archetypes, Leo echoes down the centuries. Royal fools in courts of old magically became The Goons, favourites of the young Prince Charles – Spike Milligan, Michael Bentine, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers continued the tradition. At the Palace of Versailles. Madame de Pompadour, mistress of Louis XV , was also his advisor – she famously shared the court with the Queen. Madame de Pompadour was a patron of architecture and art. From all this we expand our astrological understanding of Leo. Loyalty and service from the lower orders is essential to the monarchy but Leo can also become a patron. From this, we develop the idea of the notorious ‘patronising’ Leo archetype. In the 21 century, royal family members work as charity patrons. The royal warrants on selected British brands reflect another kind of patronage. From this comes the idea of Leo generosity. We also associate favours, favourites and favouritism with this zodiac sign and the notion of ‘playing favourites.’ This is the way an astrological symbol is built up. Astrologers find synchronicity.
PLUTO IN LEO, URANUS IN LEO AND THE BIRTH OF THE TEENAGER
If Leo is associated with young people, then the transits of Uranus alongside Pluto in Leo should surely have brought a youthquake – and they did. On April 12 1954 Bill Haley released Rock Around the Clock and the teenager was born. The Moon was in Leo that day alongside Pluto. In the same year, fresh-faced Lester Piggott , who was just eighteen, became the youngest jockey to win the Epsom Derby. Author William Golding created Lord of the Flies in the same year and scared us with the power of teenage boys, in quite another way. ¡Auge! Welcome to Uranus in Leo, the sign of the heir and spare. When Uranus (revolution, rebellion, freedom, radical change, independence) moved into Leo, the year 1956 became a kind of milk bar explosion of new youth excitement, energy and risk. Juvenile delinquents! Elvis Presley!
In 1957 The Beat Generation arrived and Jack Kerouac turned teenagers into beatniks, with the publication of On the Road. The heady combination of both Uranus and Pluto in Leo in 1955, 1956, 1957 resulted in a whole generation of babies who – by the time they reached the age of consent in the 1970’s – would lose their virginity on the contraceptive pill. Thus, the Leo royal bedchamber was not just refurnished. It was destroyed and rebuilt. In 1967, when Jupiter (optimism, hope, expansion, solutions) arrived in Leo, both abortion and homosexuality were decriminalised in the United Kingdom. Compare that to life thirty years earlier. Uranus and Pluto in Leo shifted the earth and then Jupiter arrived to finish the job.
THE SUMMER OF LOVE
The Summer of Love, when Jupiter was in Leo in 1967 gave us the hippie (the clue is in the name – child-bearing hips are Leo) for the rest of time. This cycle ran from the arrival of Jupiter in the sign of the lion on September 28 1966, until the last joss-stick burned on October 19, 1967. Chiron in Pisces supplied the drugs. (Chiron was the centaur who specialized in medicinal herbs on Mount Pelion, according to myth). When Uranus moves into Leo again in 2039, children and teenagers will again be reborn, to rebel, to radicalize and to revolutionise our world. In 2041, both Chiron and Uranus will be in Leo. Once again, a youthquake and a sexquake will be in store. I will be a very old (Leo) lady astrologer by then, but I will be fascinated to see how this cycle manifests.
LEO STORIES IN BRITISH ROYAL HISTORY
Why is the Fifth House and Leo, its zodiac ruler, so powerfully associated with leaders, the line of succession, sons, daughters, heirs, affairs, divorce, fertility and so on? You only have to look at history since 1135. This is about the time we see the lion becoming the dominant symbol in British royal life.
1135 – King Stephen and his cousin Matilda are at war. The throne finally passes to Matilda’s son Henry.
1189 – Richard the Lionheart ascends the throne. His brother John succeeds him.
1399 – Richard II is deposed by his cousin, Henry of Lancaster.
1415 – Henry V marries the French king’s daughter, and becomes heir to the throne of France.
1483 – The boy king Edward V disappears in the Tower of London after his father dies. Prime suspect is his uncle, Richard III.
1534 – Henry VIII falls in love with Anne Boleyn, while still married to Catherine of Aragon, but is refused an annulment of his marriage to Catherine, by the Pope. He breaks with the Catholic Church and becomes Supreme Head of the Church of England. Poor Anne is beheaded in 1536 and Henry marries four more times.
1558 – Henry VIII’s daughter Mary takes the throne. She marries Philip II of Spain but has no children. On her death, her sister Elizabeth takes the throne. This raises a familiar Leo question – the line of succession. Heirs, spares and pretenders.
1688 – In the Glorious Revolution, James II is overthrown by his daughter Mary.
1701 – Mary’s sister Anne is made heir to the throne.
1714 – George I is on the throne but James Stuart, ‘the old Pretender’ and son of James II tries to take the crown – and fails.
1745 – Young Pretender Bonnie Prince Charlie and grandson of James II invades England, unsuccessfully.
1760-1820 – King George III goes mad in power, and is replaced by his son, the Prince Regent.
1837 – 1901 Queen Victoria takes the throne – ‘the grandmother of Europe.’ The marriages of her children to European royalty secure her dynasty. The old Leo associations – lions and lionesses, princes and princesses, climb at this time.
1936 – Edward VIII becomes king but abdicates over his marriage to Mrs Simpson, a twice-divorced American. His brother becomes king as George VI.
1952 – Elizabeth II becomes queen on the death of her father. Her heir, Prince Charles, will divorce Diana, Princess of Wales and go on to marry a divorced woman, Camilla Parker-Bowles. His son, Prince William, and his heir, Prince George, are currently heirs to the throne after him. The story continues.
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD TO LEO
Leo patterns in the chart can offer up a long and winding road to love, or children, or variations on the above. Madonna, a Sun Leo, is a good example of someone who has taken the long and winding road through that sign. Beatrix Potter, another Sun Leo, never had children at all, but children today have inherited the land she left the nation in The Lake District. Peter Rabbit books paid for it. She married late and her husband’s young family became the Potter heirs and spares. Had Potter been born decades later, she might have been interested in the story of another Leo, the first test-tube baby in history, Louise Brown.
The Queen Mother, a Sun Leo, was never meant to be Queen but her husband’s brother fell in love with a divorced woman and the throne was passed on. Her daughter Princess Margaret, a Sun Leo, fell in love with a divorced man she could not marry. Her grandchild Charles himself divorced and then married a divorced woman. Princess Anne , her Leo Sun granddaughter, also divorced.
LEO WEATHER 2017-2019 AND THE TRUMP DYNASTY
Donald Trump and his dynasty of children and young in-laws and relatives is a good example of the Leo mythology at work. He has cast himself in the role of leader, and holds court over a tribe of young lions and lionesses. Here are two of them.
TROUBLE IN THE COURT OF KING TRUMP
The President, elected in 2016, has been compared both to King George III and Henry VIII. I do not know if he has yet been compared to Tiberius. Does Leo turn up in his birth chart? It is hard to say, because the first ‘birth certificate’ the world was given, was not a birth certificate at all. There are still two conflicting birth times for Trump.
The Leo mythology at the White House suggests we can expect trouble at the court, though. Those eclipses, and the arrival of not only Ceres but two long Mercury Retrograde periods in Leo, points to all manner of complication by 2019.
BARRON TRUMP – LITTLE DONALD
The young heir apparent, Barron Trump (the clue is in the name) is ten years old and also known as Little Donald. The other members of the dynasty include wife Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner and – Tiffany Trump, Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump. Former wives Ivana and Marcia Maples are also in the family tree. Watching these charts, there is a sense of America’s deep past returning. Even that wig on Trump, below, looks strangely like a lion’s mane. There is strong symbolism here.
THE UNITED STATES AND THE LEO NODE RETURN
In the astrological chart of the United States set for 2 January 1776 (when the nation was first officially dubbed ‘The United States of America’) we find Leo factors. In fact, the U.S. has her North Node at 16 Leo so she will experience her Nodal Return when the transiting North Node moves to 16 Leo between December 6 and 17, 2017. As we’ve seen, this is big. It can only happen about every 20 years. There is karma here with the United Kingdom and the United States. It goes back centuries. It is due at Christmas. We can expect a major event then, affecting The Special Relationship.
RICHARD NIXON AND BARACK OBAMA – CALL IT OBAMA KARMA
This Leo Node point is the ‘Nixon’ point in the United States chart. When Nixon quit, America’s North Node at 16 Leo was transited exactly by Jupiter at 16 Pisces. That happened back on August 9, 1974. It’s also the ‘Obama’ point in the United States chart. When Barack Obama was made President on November 4, 2008 the country’s North Node at 16 Leo was under transit from Chiron at 16 Aquarius, which was of course also exactly conjunct her South Node at 16 Aquarius too.
I know a lot of astrologers use the July 4 (Born on the Fourth of July) horoscope for America, but the 2 January 1776 chart is reliable in every way. In fact, I have given it a whole chapter in my ebook, 2020 Astrology
THE WHITE HOUSE KARMA OF CHRISTMAS 2017
Quite apart from that Node Return for America (her Nixon and Obama moment) we will see powerful Leo weather as early as Saturday 2 December when Ceres 17 Leo conjuncts the transiting North Node at 17 Leo, which in turn is just one degree away from America’s own North Node at 16 Leo. This is a White House White Christmas but it will follow on from a White House Whitewash, a few months earlier, in August. Let’s have a closer look at that, because this is a tremendous cover-up we need to be aware of.
If you are asking questions about American politics then, have a look at Carolina. In fact, I made a prediction about Russia, Trump and Carolina one year ago. Why this part of America? Because it bears the full brunt of the eclipse.
THE GREAT AMERICAN COVER-UP 7 AUGUST 2017
Months before this Nixon/Obama karmic moment in the American horoscope, the moment of truth for The Special Relationship with the United Kingdom – we have a cover-up relating to leadership questions. Both are connected.
The cover-up takes place as follows – Monday 7 August, 2017. Full Moon. Partial Lunar Eclipse. Sun 15 Leo opposite Moon 15 Aquarius. As you can see, that’s just one degree off an exact eclipse hit on America’s North Node at 16 Leo (and of course it pulls in her South Node at 16 Aquarius, the opposite sign).
THE GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE – CAMELOT AND COMMUNISM
This is concealed or missing information about a classic Leo-Aquarius question. The President and the people. It may also be about the President and the party, which Aquarius rules. Finally we associate Leo-Aquarius with ‘Camelot’ versus Communism. We saw similar patterns in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. What goes down in Christmas 2017 owes a lot to what was blotted out, back in August, a few months earlier.
WATCHING AMERICA IN 2018
It goes on, into 2018. You have to wonder how the White House will shape up on Thursday 9 August that year, with the Sun at 16 Leo conjunct Mercury Retrograde at 16 Leo, exactly conjunct America’s North Node at 16 Leo. Mercury Retrograde is about media muddle, misinformation, hacked computers and telephones, and negotiations that are based on deceit, or announcements/paperwork that is later rewritten or even scrapped.
This is a particularly important date, Thursday 9 August, because a couple of days later, this happens (below) and it’s very close to America’s North Node at 16 Leo again.
Saturday 11 August
New Moon. Partial Solar Eclipse. Sun 18 Leo conjunct Moon 18 Leo
I hope you can see from these patterns why it would be unwise to just swallow the news, at these times. In fact, anyone who is associated not only with Buckingham Palace but also the White House should be aware that an awful lot of events will be off radar then.
PEERING INTO THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES
I am writing this on Sunday 9 July, 2017 so about one year into the future , but even peering this far ahead, it’s possible to see that the period around 9-11 August 2018 is about misinformation and missing information, relating to the President’s children, younger family members, and any youthful successors to the Presidency (the heirs to the throne). In this we also include the standard Leo associations with courtship, the royal bedchamber, pretenders to the throne and so on. The search, when it comes, should really go all the way back to that White House Whitewashed White Christmas of December 2017. Everything is connected in a chain, because the Leo weather is also connected, in a chain.
WATCHING WORLD LEADERS IN 2017-2019
If Leo is about the line of succession, the heir and the spare, the royal bedchamber and courtship – then our world leaders should keep us fully occupied across the Leo weather of 2017-2019.
A couple of things to watch, in 2017, where world leaders are concerned. Mercury (news) goes retrograde shadow on Monday 24 July so the message will go backwards and forwards for some time, across the middle of that year. What you hear and read is not final. To make this muddled and muddy period even more complex – the eclipses on August 7 and on August 21follow on from some very new ‘news’ concerning Buckingham Palace and the White House, from Monday 24 July. After this, the headlines and details will be rewritten when this planet goes back over the same position from Thursday 31 August.
In fact, it may not be until Sunday 10 September (when Mercury in his bizarre pattern finally moves out of Leo) that we have our July story straight. That is just the start of this cycle which will see repeated ‘hits’ on Leo in the heavens until January 2019 on that last Leo eclipse which book-ends the two –year period of patterns in the sign of the lion. Across this period we are going to see a complete reshaping of the House of Windsor and the White House, with the public being kept in the dark at crucial points.
COVER-UPS AND MYSTERIES – DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES
The historic Total Solar Eclipse in Leo on Monday 21 August is a deep concern. There is always concealed or missing information on an eclipse. It can take years for the truth to come out – if in fact it ever does. This particular eclipse is part of a series we associate with Diana, Princess of Wales . This goes beyond the simple association of Leo with royalty. It is part of a Saros Series. I wrote a long prediction about this in August 2016, if you are curious about the Diana cover-up and how it is set to return in August 2017.
CERES IN LEO
Ceres is about division, compromise and new arrangements which carve up the territory. She was found on the same day, January 1 1801, that the United Kingdom was created. She is a dwarf planet and I used Ceres to predict Brexit , which will carve up Europe. Ceres in Leo will be with us for many months so we will see a new carve-up of rights, roles and responsibilities with monarchies, empires and presidencies. People you know with Leo stelliums may experience this with their own ‘dynasties’ or ‘kingdoms’ involving godchildren, children, youth, and so on. Of course, those royal bedchambers are also going to reflect this extreme astrological weather. The lion is of course incorporated into the coat of arms for the United Kingdom so this is quite literally the breaking up of the old coat of arms – a nation divided, as Ceres moves across the sign of the lion. Ceres enters Leo on Sunday 24 September 2017 and stays there until Thursday 28 June 2018. This is going to be a tremendous territorial divide of world leadership, particularly in respect of those leaders’ children, successors or dynasties. It will take around nine months to complete. It’s a pregnant pause for Buckingham Palace and the White House.
Ceres is about chopping and changing; dividing territory, status, position. In Leo we are going to see this playing out in people’s personal lives (heirs and spares, pretenders to the throne, courtship, the royal bedchamber) but also among world leaders. It will be personal, because Leo is always personal!
OTHER LEO TRAFFIC IN ASTROLOGY IN 2018 – FORTUNA IN LEO
Fortuna is also passing through Leo for some of this cycle. Jupiter’s daughter. This asteroid is associated with the Wheel of Fortune in Tarot. She spins the wheel of fate and fortune, blindfolded, without knowing or seeing that she sends us high, then low. She is a familiar figure from Shakespeare and Fortuna tends to bring a random, spinning quality to life. She is an important part of the Leo pattern story, alongside Ceres. Ceres is the big carve-up and the new order. Fortuna means every high point is a low point in the making, and every low point is a high point in the making! Both of these key factors will ‘station direct’ or stand still, which is like running on the spot, across Monday 19, Tuesday 20 March 2018. This emphasizes, but also freezes, the story. It’s like pause on your DVD player. Watch what happens then. It’s a fact of life that Leo is opposite Aquarius (below) in astrology as well. So when we experience the leadership/dynasty stories we also have major issues about Aquarian themes – friendships, groups, equality – at the same time.
AQUARIUS-LEO OPPOSITIONS TO 2019
Aquarius and Leo are opposite each other in the zodiac and the former sign describes groups, teams, communities and circles of people, while the latter obviously describes leaders, kings, queens, emperors, presidents and so on. The North Node in Leo will be opposite the South Node in Aquarius throughout 2017 and 2018 so we will see some classic conflicts between the people and their leaders. The difference between Leo and Aquarius is rather like the difference between King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. They can’t be separated, but the relationship is often fraught.
LEADERS AND THEIR POLITICAL PARTIES IN FEBRUARY 2018
We’ll see a lot of this ‘King Arthur versus Knights’ in January, February 2018 as the new year begins. On Saturday 27 January, for example, Venus at 12 Aquarius is opposite Ceres at 12 Leo. A couple of days later, Venus at 14 Aquarius is opposite Fortuna at 13 Leo. This is about the Democrats, the Republicans and their leadership in America. It is about the Prime Minister, the Leader of the opposition and their respective parties in England, Australia and beyond
You may want to pay particular attention to the Total Lunar Eclipse on the Full Moon of Wednesday 31 January 2018 when the Sun at 11 Aquarius is opposite the Moon at 11 Leo. In your own life you may see conflicts between the mass, the majority and the ‘king’ or ‘queen’ in any situation. In extreme cases, this may be rather like the Czar abdicating, the monarchy falling and people power reigning supreme…but in your book club.
The Leo-Aquarius polarity is a challenge for both signs and both sides. Groups need leaders. Leaders need groups. This mutual dependency can work very well, unless Leo is overthrown by someone who wants his/her throne – or the people find Leo too tyrannical, too autocratic – and revolt. It is also true of these two signs, that Aquarius can only function up to a point as a commune/community/communist organisation before it becomes clear that someone, somewhere, is going to have to lead the way or mere anarchy will take hold.
BILL CLINTON AND LEO KARMA – WHAT GOES AROUND IN THE WHITE HOUSE COMES AROUND
A very Leo thing happened in 1999 on the last major Leo Node cycle. Sun Leo U.S. President Bill Clinton was acquitted in his impeachment trial for allegedly lying about his affair with Sun Leo intern Monica Lewinsky . Lacking a monarchy, or a royal bedchamber, America has the White House and the Oval Office. That year is a good example of Leo-Aquarius ‘weather.’ The Democrats were the people. Bill was King. The people rose up against him, but he kept his crown.
It would be unusual if there was not a direct or indirect replay of the Clinton/Lewinsky story of 1999 between now and 2019, on the final Leo eclipse. The North Node in Leo is about debts and credits from the last cycle, after all. The Node in transit can sometimes confront us. Just when you think someone/something was well and truly ancient history, it will come up again – prompting decisions.
NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE LEO WEATHER
You can watch another patch of Leo weather across Friday 27 July 2018, on the Total Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon with the Sun at 4 Leo opposite the Moon at 4 Aquarius, followed by the Sun at 5 Leo conjunct the North Node at 5 Leo on Sunday 29 July. Northern Ireland has a Leo-Aquarius story to tell in her history. Northern Ireland consists of six counties that remained part of the United Kingdom when the 26 Southern counties became independent. It is often called Ulster, the name of one of the four ancient kingdoms of Ireland.
Across that last North Node cycle in Leo, which was October 21 1998 through April 9, 2000, Northern Ireland saw the Good Friday agreement. Now that Ireland is playing a new, important role at 10 Downing Street, the Leo-Aquarius weather is back. The mythology of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table will return.
THE VATICAN AND THE LEO WEATHER
Leo is a symbol not only of ancient kingdoms, old empires and monarchies – it is also a symbol for some aspects of the Vatican Palace, and the Vatican itself which had its Jubilee Year in 2000. The Pope in this instance is the ‘King’. What will return from that Jubilee Year as the Node in Leo also returns?
RUSSIA, VLADIMIR PUTIN AND THE LEO WEATHER
Russia as a whole tells a strong Leo-Aquarius story. The leader and the people. The Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, completed in 1762 for Catherine the Great, was assaulted by Bolsheviks in 1917. It’s a symbol of the Russian Revolution but also about these two zodiac signs. The leader and the people. The palace and the peasants. On the last Node in Leo cycle 1999-2000, Vladimir Putin became acting President and then President. Russia will have her karma from those years now.
YOUR AQUARIUS FACTORS
If you have Aquarius personal chart factors, and particularly if you have a stellium (three or more placements) then the big focus on Leo will automatically highlight the Eleventh House of your chart in the natural house system as the North Node in Leo and South Node in Aquarius will cross this axis of your chart. The Eleventh House of your chart, ruled by Aquarius, using this house system, is where we find your friends. Your clubs. Your associations, societies and teams. Your political parties, bands, charities, book groups and ensemble casts. Aquarius is about the community – your circle – and it describes people power. Watch the travelling or transiting planets and other heavenly bodies as they pass across that Leo-Aquarius axis. If they pass the same degree as one of your Aquarius placements a major story will unfold. It will involve questions about who leads, and who follows – and why. That Leo/lion symbolism will come knocking.
MAKING HISTORY – THE CERES-PLUTO QUINCUNX JUNE 4 2018
There is always a deep transformation in the balance of power when these two dwarf planets are aligned. In fact, their fates were tied together back in 2006 when astronomers decided Pluto should be demoted and Ceres should be promoted , both becoming dwarves at the same time. We’ll see major downsizing/upsizing/reclassification at the White House and Buckingham Palace, and also in the seats of other world leaderships, very close to June 4 2018. Again, it’s that classic question about leaders and their heirs, successors and pretenders to the throne.
The quincunx pattern occurs on June 4 2018 with Pluto at 20 Capricorn, a sign we associate with ambition, social climbing, and the business of getting to the top and staying at the top. Ceres is at 20 Leo. June looks like a significant month for all those issues about leaders and their successors. The very next day, Tuesday 5 June, we find Ceres at 21 Leo conjunct Fortuna at 21 Leo. When you see a couple of patterns being bumped across a two-day period, you usually see something major in astrology. Keep your eyes on the first week of June 2018. The lion will roar.
MIGHTY BLIGHTY – WATCHING THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE LEO CYCLE
The United Kingdom chart set for 1 January 1801 shows, as you would expect, a stellium in Leo in the Fifth House. Jupiter 1 Leo, Minerva 8 Leo, Saturn 23 Leo. Thus, it’s really just a case of watching the triggers, or conjunctions, as the Leo weather passes through. In modern astrology, using software like Stephanie Johnson’s wonderful Solar Fire program, we can use orbs of one degree to judge close or exact events.
On Friday 21 July, 2017, Mercury at 24 Leo conjuncts the North Node at 24 Leo, just one degree away from the United Kingdom’s serious, sombre, stuck Saturn at 23 Leo in the Fifth House, which rules the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, his spares (the siblings), his sons Willian and Harry and his grandchildren George and Charlotte. That’s news. It’s also karma. Another baby for Kate? An announcement about the succession?
On Sunday 23 July, 2017, the New Moon falls at 0 Leo, just one degree away from the United Kingdom’s Jupiter at 1 Leo. Fresh start. New beginning. Optimism, growth, hope for the heirs and spares to the crown.
The story rolls on across the British summer. Then, next to Jupiter at 1 Leo, on Thursday 28 September 2017, we have Fortuna at 1 Leo and Ceres at 1 Leo too. That is a random, fortunate, fated carve-up of the Royal Family’s line of succession to the throne. It can also happen, at best, every 12 years. So it’s historic. Again, we have to ponder – another baby for Kate? A marriage for Harry? Another kind of shift? Monday 21 January 2019 is the cover-up, which surrounds the aftermath of that 28 September 2017 decision. On that day there is a total eclipse with the Moon at 0 Leo, just one degree away.
OUR SECOND MERCURY RETROGRADE IN LEO JULY 2018
Eclipses bring cover-ups, patchy information or missing jigsaw pieces. Mercury rearranges the jigsaw again. We have a second Mercury Retrograde in Leo, coming from the start of the shadow on Saturday 7 July 2018. This is why you need to look at 2017-2018 as a complete story. As always, make allowances for the ‘news’ not to stick. The full dates are included in your 2018 Diary Dates, below. At this time we can expect more global leadership stories which are bound to change.

THE JANUARY 2019 TOTAL LEO ECLIPSE – THE TWO YEAR CYCLE ENDS
You can see how a patchwork of patchy information is spread across 2017, 2018, thanks to not only eclipses but also Mercury Retrograde in Leo. We have to ask hard questions then, about our leaders and their dynasties. As you’ve seen, we have a total eclipse on Monday 21 January 2019, with the Moon at 0 Leo and Sun at 0 Aquarius. This returns us to the theme of the people versus their rulers – as you’ve seen, it hits the United Kingdom horoscope exactly. However, anybody or anything (country, organisation, institution) with Leo-Aquarius patterns around 0, 1 degree will see the blackout. I know that we don’t have a strong set of birth data for British Prime Minister Theresa May, but she ‘signals’ Leo with her choice of leopardskin shoes, the same way that Donald Trump signals Leo with his toy lions and dynasty. This graphic landed on my Twitter feed. You have to wonder what lies behind the door of 10 Downing Street in January 2019.
THE LEO PATTERNS OF 1962 AND OUR KARMA IN 2017-2019
In 1962, between January 4 and March 25 we had a staggering line-up in the zodiac signs of Leo and Aquarius. Jupiter,
Saturn and the South Node were in Aquarius. Uranus and the North Node were in Leo. The patterns ran from 0 degrees to 29 degrees of the signs. All of which makes the cycle of the Nodes through Leo and Aquarius (and those eclipses) across 2017-2019 look like a karmic replay of early 1962. We also had a total eclipse on Monday 5 February that year, with the Sun at 15 Aquarius alongside the Moon at 15 Aquarius. The Aquarius-Leo patterns continued in July 1962, when on Tuesday 31 there was an eclipse with the Sun and Moon at 7 Leo. On August 15, a fortnight later, we saw another eclipse with the Sun at 22 Leo and Moon at 22 Aquarius. There is a tremendous sense of old debts and credits about 1962 arriving for 2017-2018.
John F. Kennedy was President in 1962. Soviet missile bases were in Cuba. The threat of nuclear war – the Cuban Missile Crisis – was averted when the USSR decided not to send the missiles. Leo and Aquarius. The leader and the people. The king of Camelot and the Democrats.
Specifically, on January 29 1962, America and Britain walked out of nuclear test ban talks with the Soviet Union. The Sun, Mercury Retrograde, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and the South Node were in Aquarius. Uranus and the North Node were in Leo. The old monarchy of the United Kingdom was up against Aquarian Communism.
KARMA CHAMELEONS – JACQUELINE KENNEDY – QUEEN JACQUELINE
The First Lady of the White House in 1962 was Jacqueline ‘Queen Jacqueline’ Kennedy, who was of course a Leo. The people paid the taxes and she took the televised tours. Marilyn Monroe, rumoured to be President John F. Kennedy’s mistress, was found dead on August 5, just ten days before the eclipse which saw the Sun at 22 Leo and Moon at 22 Aquarius. Like all eclipses, it was a cover-up. It will be very interesting to see how the karma of 1962 returns, now through 2019. We’re back to Leo’s royal court again – the bedchamber – Camelot – and the rest.
THE NEW WARS OF THE ROSES – THE MALE WINDSORS
In the new Leo cycles of 2017-2019 a complete split is possible between the male heirs in the United Kingdom with one male Royal breaking away by himself, in search of post-Brexit new horizons. The Wars of the Roses originally ran from 1455 to 1485 and saw the the royal houses of Lancaster and York against each other. This looks like a Royal flying the flag for new British trade deals around the world, but without belonging to a Royal Family. You have to wonder who will play Edward V or Henry Tudor on this journey. Prediction (July 2017) House of Windsor =New Wars of the Roses by 2019.
PREDICTION – THE RETURN OF BARACK OBAMA
Sun Leo Barack Obama could plant himself and his ideas back in the White House across this historic period of Leo weather for the United States. The former President may be going grey but his astrological chart shows he has not gone away – not if the people, agree. There is huge potential here for him across 2017-2019 to move his plans, if not himself, back into Washington.
AUSTRALIA – WOMEN RISE TO THE TOP AGAIN
Between 2017-2019 Australia could easily see another woman rise to become leader of one of the two main political parties and perhaps even the nation, making history a second time. Julie Bishop?
LEO LESSONS – LEARNING FROM THE LION
Astrology is just history repeating itself, and astrologers use an unusual form of timekeeping to record events. They also do something few others do and predict the future. This is useful because it can be comforting (there is nothing new under the sun) but also a warning about what not to do – next time. As George Santayana said “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Astrologers always remember the past because they usually own an Ephemeris, which is like a a telephone directory of planets, and their zodiac signs, from 1900 to 2050. We flick backwards and forwards through the big book and can see, at a glance, why 2017-2019 is like 1962.
The Leo-Aquarius polarity of 1962 is a stark reminder of what can happen if leaders behave like Roman emperors. That was the year that Camelot fought a battle with Communism and we, the people, nearly went nuclear, thanks to our kings and leaders.
If you know people with Leo chart factors or have them yourself, then watch the transit of Ceres and the North Node in particular across Leo to see how your Fifth House will play out 2017-2019. There will be a lot to learn, but also a lot to learn from – if you also want to peer back at your own past and see how themes repeat. This is the last time we will see a slow-moving Leo transit until 2026, when Jupiter goes into Leo. Another Summer of Love? Much depends on what we do in the summers of 2017, 2018.
Jessica Adams will give a talk on Eclipses, Nodes and Stonehenge, discussing the Leo patterns of 2017-2019, at The Astrological Lodge of London on Monday 6 November, 2017. For more information visit astrolodge.co.uk.
