1.19 CANCER – LEO
CANCER – LEO
************
July 22 to 29
*************
Here, exuberant Leo, with its powerful governing influence, the Sun, takes almost full control over uncertain Cancer with its trickery, fickle governor, the Moon. But the lesser force is present and can evidence itself, just as die Moon occasionally eclipses the Sun.
People born at this time should regard themselves as Leo subjects, striving to shake off any lunar weaknesses that may prove to be their undoing. If they become retrospective, they should consider the past and its traditions purely as a guide toward a greater future. If they are moody, they should snap from it and think in terms of ambition. When they become sympathetic to suffering, they should take immediate steps to better the condition of such persons.
Otherwise, the brilliant, intellectual qualities of Leo can become warped or dissipated. Fascinated by their own brilliance and eloquence, persons of this period can become self-hypnotized to the point where they consider themselves masters of right or wrong. From high-minded reformers, they can become unscrupulous spellbinders. Their self-confidence will cause them to ridicule their own conservatism.
Once the Leo mind drops its idealism and falls prey to indolence or deceit, the lunar forces will take over in the worst way, stirring the restless mind with jealousy. This can all be avoided, however, by fostering the natural exuberance of Leo and turning it to progressive channels. Leo people born during this early period can rise high in professions such as medicine and law, as well as becoming fine educators, because their human sympathies are strongly furthered by the lunar undercurrent.
