Planets and Points in Leo
Post 3 of 4 of the Leo Series
This post is part of a Leo season series. If you missed the first two posts, you can read them here: Celebrating Leo, Leo Through the Houses.
By now you should be familiar with the archetype of Leo and the area of your chart it lights up (which is also your conscious focus for the season). Now let’s talk about the influence Leo has on the planets that reside there in your chart.
For the purpose of this post, I’m going to leave out the generational planets (the slow-moving, far away ones - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) and focus on the planets and points that have a larger influence on you personally.
If you already know how to read the planets in your chart, you can skip ahead to the sections that are relative to you.
If not, you can run your free chart in www.astro-charts.com and look for Leo along the outer circle and the planets that fall in it’s range. Ignore the other lines on the inside for this.
If you don’t know how to interpret the glyphs, just scroll down a bit and the exact placements are listed for you.
In the chart below, the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Ascendant (rising sign) are in Leo
