Double Leo Sky Asks: Who Am I Serving?

Moon in Leo, Sun in Leo

We are under a double Leo sky. This combination is often misunderstood – one, because people have stereotypes of Leo that they are such big personalities and that their ego leads, and two, we forget that during a New Moon, no matter what sign – an introverted personality arrives, even if it is double Leo. So, let’s take a new look at it.

A new point of view is presented by Esoteric Astrology. Leo is still the same positive energetic, associated with fun and joy. Yes, Leo is known to be the gregarious personality type who loves to hold center stage and runs at a high voltage. However, this is the quality that Alice Bailey cautions us about.

Esoteric Astrology warns excited Leo to not get lost in the outer world and the need for attention. Quite the opposite: it is suggested that Leo remembers – you are one of many and while you are full of Fire, it’s not for you, alone, to take up all the attention in the room. Be cautious about the ego distracting you. Esoteric Astrology is about encouraging the soul to run the show. So rather than judging Leo as the best sign, or as egocentric – let’s name it as the sign that addresses awareness to avoid being full of itself.

There are examples where personal love is present that allows a full expression of passion and Leo Fire. For example, think of how a mother loves her child, how a pet owner loves their four-legged side kick, a response to a favorite flower, or a perfect sunset. This is where we cannot help but celebrate out loud, to take up a lot of room – the full expression of enthusiasm, love affairs that need to be shared – and so you ask us to look at the photos of your baby, grand child or favorite pet, or your family. It is how we rightly tell our love stories. Leo is all about love.

I learned so much about Leo at a young age: presented to me by my first love. A professor that had been voted (in true Leo fashion) as one of the best teachers in America. He stood on the desk when he taught. He encouraged 18-year-olds, before graduating high school, to write a bucket list in order to create futuristic dream material for his students. Then ten years later he would send the list to their parents’ homes.

He stood out by his absolute passion for life. He taught with an uninhibited drama.  Yes, it could be seen that his ego was at work; however it was in service to his students.

This double Leo sky provides the awareness to realize we’re all here to serve our Universal family, to be in love with this life, not just what we own, our children, our pets. When double Leo accepts this Universal sense of family – then it goes past the old definition to an updated spiritual perspective that inspires Leo to be of service in our Aquarian age.

The right use of this New Moon is to ask yourself: am I utilizing the passion within me to really care, and to whom do I serve? My needs or the other’s? I love this sign under the influence of the Esoteric conversation – which is to always ask: who am I serving?
