Leo Horoscope for June 2015

This is an important monthly cycle for you, Leo. You are getting a better handle on who you are in relation to what you produce, and what you want to get out of life. These are difficult and life-long questions, lately an evolving landscape for you, with further layers to be revealed over time. It is undeniable that you are developing an enhanced and more detailed viewpoint on your own identity in interaction with the world around you, while simultaneously getting more serious about your commitment to the public good. With Mercury retrograding through your sector of societal involvement, you are also in the process of refining your notion of how you want to see your future unfolding, as a fit match for what you deeply recognize as what you are most called to.

As the month begins, you are feeling a sense of joyful responsibility, and also burden, represented by a strong Saturn in your fifth solar sector of creative self-expression, in the midst of a thoughtful and rather introspective time. This feeling is nothing new, and has been building for several months now, most particularly through the previous two weeks of the current lunar cycle, beginning with the mid-May New Moon. At this timing, the Sun and Moon in conjunction in late Taurus, as well as Mars in Gemini, opposed Saturn in early Sagittarius, making it not at all easy to get things done. The difficulties of this placement have been given greater emphasis than the advantages, which due to the slowing-down and greater focus implied by a powerfully placed Saturn, have fostered important life lessons.

You have also perhaps been marveling at the series of insights that have been coming your way, and that have been steering you toward further ramifications of how you see your future unfolding. Expansive Jupiter is also quite prominent this month, still located in your own sign, your sector of identity. You could therefore be experiencing a sense of optimism as well as seriousness, and turning a myriad of new leaves in how you see yourself in interaction with the world around you. Due to the introspective nature of this lunar cycle, which features Mercury in retrograde, you are also likely to be exploring uncharted territory within yourself, as you discover how intrinsically tied these revelations are to your own future vision. Your task now is to find where your growth and transformation can meet the magnitude of your dreams and goals. This month provides an opportunity for you to see more easily into the big picture, and as well the nitty-gritty details. In a similar fashion, you may feel drawn to a deep, inward conversation with yourself, as you continue weaving your curiosities and energies with exterior circumstance and other people. Big things are happening for you, and ultimately it is all in support of your continued journey of deep and lasting transformation.

With Chiron, the Wounded Healer, also highlighted in this month's configurations, located in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution, you could be examining deeply held beliefs or patterns around closeness, cycles of death and rebirth, or where you find yourself in a position of shared resource with others. As one example, perhaps you internalized a feeling somewhere along the way that you could not fully trust other people, and could only depend on yourself to get what you need; or, inversely, that you were somehow not able to provide easily for yourself, resulting in a habit of leaning on others. Many sides of your internal behavior could be coming to light for you, and the prescription is to take a good look at whatever is revealed, without self-judgment or blame. There is an opportunity now to identify the patterns that are occurring, and how you might have cast out as unworthy some parts of who you really are. In reclaiming these lost pieces of yourself, the healing comes in simply accepting what is, and what has come to pass. From this place of acceptance you will find greater ease in forming more empowering beliefs, or for making different choices for yourself than these old and outmoded habits would have otherwise perpetuated.

The numinous astrological archetype of Neptune, which engenders a highly sensitive and mystical tone, is also emphasized in this month's cycle, stimulating your creativity, compassion, and willingness to be with the unknown. Your deep intuition is speaking more directly to you, while your rational mind may seem to be a humble mechanism in the face of all that can be accessed with this poignant other awareness that you possess inside. You are transforming in your sense of mission to your higher self, and feeling of service to a greater whole. The mystery of it all could leave you in a state of awe and wonderment, or possibly spun out into confusion and illusion, depending on circumstances and your personal approach. It benefits you, now, not to try to figure it all out, or nail anything down, but simply to provide space through neutral observation and compassion to allow the sweet mystery of life to unfold.
