28 Leo rising. That’s me.

All this Aries stuff has been in my 8th house and I’ve been feeling a little dark. I had all my emails forwarded to a crevasse at the bottom of the ocean where I was staying with some very hospitable creatures who have yet to be documented by science.

And then suddenly, as of Taurus Time! (trademark pending) I’m feeling a little more optimistic, a little more energized. The Sun is now in my 9th house.

There’s still a huge string of activity tralling my 8th, But now it’s like I (me, the sun) am up shore looking at shadowy videos from an experimental research vessel rather than down in it.

What house does the Sun rule in your chart? Do you feel a difference when the Sun moves into a new house/sign?

I mentioned my Leo Mars recently, as it came out in my reaction to a certain Virgo Mars. Anyway, it got me thinking, with all this Leo energy in my chart (I also have Leo rising) I might be a little…

DRAMATIC!!!!!!

Albert reminds me of this almost everyday. He says nothing. He just has this look. I will be carrying on over something and as I turn to survey my audience, I see his eyes are slightly widened, the corners of his lips are fighting not to pull back.

I started reminiscing about Aaron yesterday in Third House Venus Dilettante Love Story

What’s the first thing you pick up on when you meet someone, astrologically speaking?

I went out for noodles with my yoga teacher and another girl after class.

Cherie starts talking about how she’s working on letting go of this compulsive sort of feeling she has where she needs to tell people she is smart.

“I’m smart. I know people can tell I’m smart when they talk to me. I know this. But for the longest time I have struggled with feeling like I have to let people know.”

“You even advertise it.” I say tracing a line across my chest. I am referencing her collection of math joke t-shirts that she wears to class.

“I do! I want people to see. What’s that about?! You know, why do I keep doing this?”

The signs can be divided into Triplicities, that’s groups of three, also known as Elements.

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius make up the Fire signs.

Fire is spirit. It is the animating force which clings to the physical.  People with a lot of fire in their charts radiate.  They cannot stand stale energy; If they have it, they burn it.
