Leo Through the Houses
Where are you the "main character" in your life?
This post is part of a Leo season series. If you missed the first post, you can read it here: Celebrating Leo.
In case you haven’t heard me say it before, we all have all of the zodiac signs expressed somewhere in our natal chart. So instead of giving you the basic level Leo season horoscope, I want to help you understand where Leo has influence in your life and business so you can understand how to leverage it not just now, but throughout the year.
In astrology, the natal chart is divided into 12 houses, each representing a different area of life. The sign in which each house begins indicates how you express the affairs of that house. (It can also give you another layer of detail for interpreting the planets, but that’s getting more advanced than we need today)
For now, all you need to know is what house in your natal chart is ruled by Leo. To find Leo in your chart, run your free chart in www.astro-charts.com and look for the house that begins in Leo. There will be a dotted line indicating the beginning of the house (house cusp).
For example: In the chart below, Leo rules the 9th house.
Wherever you have Leo in your chart is the area of your life where you’ll find your creativity. This house will tell you where and how you want to stand out from the crowd, what you’re passionate about, and where your ego is strongly invested.
I like to think of it in terms of where you have “main character energy”. This is also the area of of life that will be in focus for you during Leo season.
