A glorious moment of recognition

The 6 of Wands depicts a glorious moment in the limelight. Your chance to shine and to lead and to accept the recognition that you are due.

Jupiter in Leo suggests supreme confidence and self-belief.

As with previous Decans, I have found it useful to look at some keywords to see what ideas it may spark about the current Decan of Leo II.

Shine and let others shine

The Wheel X reminds us that what goes around comes around. Nothing lasts forever, and that includes your moment in the sun.

By shining and expanding into your success you should not diminish the light or the limit the growth of others. With success comes responsibility. And with power there is always the danger of corruption and tyranny.

Prompts for 6 of Wands ~Jupiter in Leo

When it is time for you to shine…

Ask yourself:

• How confident are you feeling in your relationships at work and in your personal life?
• Do you inspire confidence in others?
• Do people look to your for leadership?
• What sort of leader are you? How can you lead with your heart?

Observations and synchronicities ~ on Leo II

I’m making a space here to return to over the coming days of Leo II to add any thoughts, ideas and synchronicities as they arise…

The influence of Strength VIII here causes me to consider motherhood and liken it it a benevolent dictatorship. The relationship with your children is not a democracy. As a mother (or father) you are in charge, you must lead, show the way, create space for your children to develop and grow. You can do so with subtle strength and compassion – win hearts and minds – or you can force your will. But that tactic will only work for so long.
