The first time you read anything astrological, you say: “Where did they come up with these animals and humans?” And then your next logical question is “How do these characteristics transfer some kind of meaning to the adherent?”
What do the characteristics of a scorpion, or a horse, or a goat or a lion tell us? Then you read what those animalistic or humanistic characters and they communicate something to you.
In the case of a Ram let’s say, the images are bold, violent, energetic, youthful, challenging. Each person can come up with their own images. This tends to be a personal subjective process. These images, like a bag of treats, can hold many subjective, and even somewhat contradictory tendencies. But because these images are quite defined and “agreed upon” by nature itself, these figures become solidified over time.
Cancers who embrace “Moonchild” and don’t like the “Crab”
In my years of counseling, I have found that “stumbling” over these images causes problems and misapprehensions. Of course this ancient art did not generate these images for our entertainment. So when the Cancer embraces Moonchild, she also might be missing some meaning because she does not get the Coding in back of the Symbol. It might be more profitable to more completely focus on the Code, instead of the symbol. After all, what does a pair of fish going in opposite directions really tell the average Pisces? Isn’t there a Code that can be more enlightening? The answer is “Yes”.
The Reverse Engineered Coding that like a Laser Beam, Can Shine on your Soul
In each of these “reverse engineering” articles, I will focus on the larger code above the sun sign symbol, which in actual text will give us clear meaning, and thus a path to success, above the descriptive images the sun sign gives us.
What is the Leo Code?
Some of us will immediately say: “I can see where the Lion comes from. It is a prominent powerful animal in the personifying a summer season, which is fixed and powerful and unmoveable and able to express itself in a fiery way.” Throw the Code in front of yourself: Fixed, Fire, Summer. The Lion image does pop up.
That is true enough. It seems to create an image that translates to lion, or “Leo”, the King of the Beasts. If you, as a Leo, get your Ego lost in the romantic images of the lion, you will stumble and get a thorn in your paw. As you can see images can be used for and against you.
Fixed Fire
However, if you stick with the Code words they can insist on telling you more hard specifics. “Fixed” is a quality which many Leos should strive to manifest more in their lives than they often do. It is easy to conjure up an image of a male lion on his back being fed by females. It is harder to envision a person who stands for stern principles from which he cannot be deterred.
Being Fixed is a powerful idea that many of those with weaker wills could really stand to benefit from; especially when you match it with Fire! In your mind, do a mental exercise. Merge the ideas of Fixed Fire. Think of a grass blaze being blown along by hot summer wind. This is the way a person who is “ablaze” with ideas, and fighting for causes can seem. So, with just a little bit of imagery, one can see that a “little lion” gets left behind in the much bigger picture of one of nature’s manifestations.
Now go one step further: Conjure up a picture of a Fixed Fire that in a sense takes a shape, a constant substance that has fury and heat, and yet a shape that insists on being itself. Again, this is coded language. Can you see how it can be even stronger than just the image of a hunting cat?
Fixed Fire Summer
Then add the Summer as a large expansive set for your “Movie About Me”. There you are, in the vivid admixture of dream and vision you are “Fixed Fire Summer”. If you use these three code words for your own inspiration and instruction, you can go way beyond what a mere Lion is, and then build new ideas into your self instruction that can take you to places and visages before whom you have never been.
"Fixed Fire Summer" is a much more imposing vision. Ask yourself, in the quiet minutes of self examination what this might mean to you. Is there art or literature out there waiting for you to manifest? Are there ideas that might spring into existence surrounding work or your professional challenges? The way to plumb the depths of your personal strength might lead you through a Leonine challenge. Are there loved ones and friends or relatives who are counting on you in ways that your more cavalier partying Leo might never have thought. True Spiritual Growth is what springs from inside you and manifests itself as your ideal. But things do not spring from us unless we see them as possibilities. Ask yourself if you can see yourself in more noble and refined ways. Ask yourself if there is a bigger stronger Leo inside you waiting to emerge.
