It’s that time boys and girls where we play, “Who wants to be free!” Our contestant today is Leo. Leo wants to love and be loved, adore and adored, but right now Leo is encountering some serious challenges in that regard. Perhaps there are those that want to love and adore Leo sooooo much, that they smother them with well intentioned adulation, or perhaps it is Leo that wants and craves the love connection so badly that it borders on demand for idol worship. In any case, February is a time where this dynamic gets played out in full.

Are you the warden or the prisoner when it comes to emotions or you simply the jail itself from which you want to liberate your needs and dependencies from? Mercury makes a grand entrance on the fourth and will school you about a third option; absolutely pure and divine love, where you are all part of the beloved and do not sacrifice any part of that estimable ego you carry around with you. You simply have want to share the boundless spaces of your heart in the very same way that a God would do, in the fullness of generosity for all. You may not always be this transpersonal when it comes to your emotions, especially as they relate to your most personal one-on-ones, but for the rest of this month, you can show the rest of us how to love deeply, freely and ultimately, divinely.
