      How to Lavish a Leo - Mary English

      contributions.

      Introduction

      I started this series of Astrology books with How to Survive a Pisces, about my sign and after the book had been accepted at the publisher’s (who is, I found out later, a Pisces!) he told me he didn’t just want one book. Ooooh, I thought, I’d better write one for each sign of the Zodiac. And as there are 12 signs of the Zodiac I then realised I’d got quite a lengthy project.

      Being an Astrologer is a funny life. I was writing How to Soothe a Virgo when I caught myself hanging out the duvet on the washing line, trying to line-up the seams so that it would be perfectly straight and not need so much ironing. I was busy lining-up the hems when I thought to myself, ‘This is a very Virgo thing, needing so much perfection.’

      When I started writing this book on Leos, I was involved in the on-going sceptical attack against Homeopaths and Homeopathy, and I again caught myself just after I’d written a letter to HRH The Prince of Wales to get his support for an Act of Parliament that was going through.

      I didn’t even think that there was any problem writing to a member of the Royal Family (who I have never met, or am never likely to!) and it wasn’t until I’d popped the letter in the letter-box over the road, that I thought, ‘That was a very Leo thing to do, to contact the Royal Family!’ and there lies the theme of Leo: acting like Royalty. I had a little chuckle to myself. It was as if I were ‘proving’* each sign as I wrote about it.

      Before we learn about Leo, we need to discover a little about Astrology and where it came from and where it is today. It’s been around for a long time and most cultures have some connection with the soul or the spirit. They observe the planets, the Sun and Moon and have made a correlation between our place here on Earth, and the Gods’ place in ‘heaven above’.

      A Brief History of Astrology

      Christopher McIntosh, a historian, tells us in his The Astrologers and Their Creed that Astrology was discovered in what is now called the Middle East: Iraq:

      It was the priests of the kingdom of Babylonia who made the discovery, which set the pattern for the development of astronomy and of the zodiacal system of astrology that we know today. For many generations they had been meticulously observing and recording the movements of the heavenly bodies. Finally they had, by careful calculation, discovered that there were besides the Sun and the Moon five other visible planets which moved in established courses through the sky. These were the planets that we now call Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

      The discovery which these priest-astronomers made was a remarkable one, considering how crude were the instruments with which they worked. They had no telescopes, nor any of the complicated apparatus, which astronomers use today. But they did have one big advantage. The area, next to the Persian Gulf, on which their kingdom lay, was blessed with extremely clear skies. In order to make full use of this advantage they built towers on flat areas of country and from these were able to scan the entire horizon.

      These priests lived highly secluded lives in monasteries usually adjacent to the towers. Every day they observed the movements of the heavenly spheres and noted down any corresponding earthly phenomena from floods to rebellions. Very early on they had come to the conclusion that the laws which governed the movements of the stars and planets also governed events on Earth. The seasons changed with the movements of the Sun, therefore, they argued, the other heavenly bodies must surely exercise a similar influence….

      In the beginning the stars and planets were regarded as being actual gods. Later, as religion became more sophisticated, the two ideas were separated and the belief developed that the god ‘ruled’ the corresponding planet.

      Gradually, a highly complex system was built up in which each planet had a particular set of properties ascribed to it. This system was developed partly through the reports of the priests and partly through the natural characteristics of the planets. Mars was seen to be red in colour and was therefore identified with the god Nergal, the fiery god of war and destruction.

      Venus, identified by the Sumerians as their goddess Inanna, was the most prominent in the morning, giving birth, as it were, to the day. She therefore became the planet associated with the female qualities of love, gentleness and reproduction.

      The observation of the stars by the Sumerians was mostly a religious act. The planets were their gods and each visible object was associated with an invisible spiritual being that judged their actions, blessed them with good fortune or sent them tribulations.¹

      Astrology was therefore born out of careful observation and also a desire by the Sumerians to add meaning to their lives. As first it was for a practical purpose, to help their crops; then it developed into one that was spiritual. Astrology then worked its way across vast continents until it reached us here in the West and thousands of years later, Astrology is still with us.

      So, here we are at Leo. The sign of the lion. The regal sign of the lion as Leo is not just any old lion, they are THE LION! Grrrr!! How did it get these characteristics? Where did they come from?

      This is what we will learn about in this book, and hopefully you will understand what is important to a Leo and how to make living, loving or being with a Leo the wonderful experience it should be.

      The Sign

      I believe that the Principle which gives life dwells in us and without us comes from the Supreme Intelligence through the Rays of the Sun.

      Leo is the fifth sign of the Zodiac. To call someone a Leo they would have to be born between a certain set of dates that are generally 23rd July to 23rd August. I say generally as it does depend where in the world you were born and also what time of day. And if you were born during those dates mentioned above, you would really need to check with a good astrological programme or Astrologer to make sure your Leo actually is a Leo.

      If they were born very early on the morning of the 23rd July, the Sun might not have quite changed sign into Leo, and you
