LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "I was six years old when my parents told me that
there was a small, dark jewel inside my skull, learning to be me." So said
the Leo science fiction writer Greg Egan in his story "Learning to Be Me."
Let's pretend that you, too, have a small dark jewel inside your skull
that's learning to be you. It's a good metaphor for what I believe has been
happening all these years: You have been gradually mastering the art of
being the best Leo you can be. It hasn't been easy. You weren't born
knowing how to be your beautiful, radiant, courageous self, but have had
to work hard to activate your potentials. Now you're moving into an
especially critical phase of the process: a time when you have the chance
to learn how to love yourself with greater ingenuity.
