DECAN DELINEATIONS

LEO I: Saturn, the 5 of Wands & the Strife of the World, Its Pressures & Our Own Self-Discipline| July 22–August 1

•••When the Lion First Roars—

This decan isn’t a curtain call—it’s a spotlight born of friction...

Leo I marks the opening act of the sun’s most theatrical tour, but it doesn’t stroll in wearing crowns and cloaks. No—this lion arrives raw, ribcage still heaving from its birth out of Cancer’s lunar waters… it’s not a performance yet—it’s rehearsal. It’s sweat. It’s a fight to believe your own voice is worth hearing above the din of the world.

Here, in the blazing first face of Leo, we don’t get to rest in radiance—we must earn it through tension. Through resistance. Through being forged by the world’s heat, not flattered by its applause…

This is the Leo that’s still deciding what kind of fire it will be:

A wildfire? A hearth? A slow-burning altar?

Each choice begins with strife…
