The Zodiac - Leo

The Sun, Ruler of Leo

Worshipped from time immemorial in most cultures as the source of all our warmth and light, in ancient Greece
the sun god, Helios, drove across the heavens in a chariot drawn by fiery horses.

The Sun rules the heart and the true self, as well as creativity, play, fatherhood and children.

Just as the sun in the sky is the center of the solar system, the Sun represents the central nucleus of your personality.

If each of the planets circling round the sun represents a single facet of your personality - Venus describes how you
love and Saturn how you relate to responsibility, for example - then the Sun is the conductor of your personal orchestra,
giving meaning and coherence to the wholeness that is you. It is the part of yourself that you identify with, your sense of
self. Its sign - your sun-sign - and house position, as well as the aspects that it makes to other planets, describe your true
potential; the 'you' you are deep down and are striving to express, as well as your will, your goals and purpose.

While the feminine Moon represents your Soul, the masculine Sun represents your Spirit.
