“We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.”
– Carl Jung
What is Astrology?
-
Astrology originated in Mesopotamia (c. 3rd millennium bc) and spread to India, but it developed its Western form in Greek civilization during the Hellenistic period.
Astrology entered Islamic culture as part of the Greek tradition and was returned to European culture through Arabic learning during the Middle Ages.
What was the original purpose of astrology?
The original purpose of astrology, on the other hand, was to inform the individual of the course of his life on the basis of the positions of the planets and of the zodiacal signs (the 12 astrological constellations) at the moment of his birth or conception.here

As we enter the height of Summer we become blessed with the high energy of Leo who are a fixed sign. During this period you may feel that the energy around you is charged and much more intense than in other times of the year.
Fixed signs are associated with determination, courage, and rigidity. People born under fixed signs, like Leo, are often set in their ways and not as adaptable to change compared to Mutable signs such as a Gemini. Whereas others are more comfortable with putting an idea out there or avoiding the limelight, Leos are determined to step into action, front and center and finish what has to be finished before starting something else and let's be honest, love a little limelight.
Leos are highly intelligent, determined, and loyal, and are loved for their magnetism. People are easily drawn to them because of their quick wit and charm. Just like a lion is considered the king of the jungle, Leos often act like kings and queens themselves.
Leo’s easy charm and magnetism is not just for show; they are born leaders, hard-working, dedicated, and are quick to think on their feet. They take charge and act quickly- whether it’s to help someone out, find a solution to a problem, or lead people in a team. Leos are known for loving attention, this can be in their daily life with family and friends and in the workforce when they take on a project, they love to be front and center, as they prefer to take charge and lead rather than wait around for other people to act.
Leos make for great leaders, as they are intelligent, resourceful, courageous, and determined. While Leos are often considered invaluable in the workplace, their determination to lead the pack may be misunderstood by colleagues as attention-seeking.
Highly competitive in nature Leo's channel that lion quality of preferring to lead other animals in the jungle, sometimes, even those far stronger than they are. Leos thrive when competition is involved, however, they compete not to make other people look weak. They compete because they are determined and it is deeply embedded in their nature to aim to win.
As much as Leos love attention, they are also deeply loyal, honourable, and generous, especially when their family and friends are concerned. Like their symbol, the Lion, Leos will fight for the people they love even at their own expense. Having a Leo in your family or circle of friends is truly a gift, as they are some of the best allies you'll ever have.
Leos are always willing to lend a helping hand even to those outside of their inner circles. They treat everyone around them with dignity, respect, and friendliness.
Leos are some of the most driven, benevolent, and charismatic people you'll ever meet, but they can also be jealous, competitive, and complacent. Leo energy is the perfect time to get yourself out there. Whether you're eyeing a promotion at work, a career change, starting your own business, or even starting a romance.
There's no time like the present to get out of your comfort zone and make good use of the positive energies that the sun brings while it is aligned with Leo to help improve both your personal and professional life.
Many solar returns to you!
