Leo's Monthly Soul Focus
Leo channels Rays 1 and 5, and this month the planetary climate shapes how that energy expresses. Saturn transiting your 9th house asks you to bring soul discipline to the area of vision — this is where karma is being refined. Jupiter in your 12th house offers grace and expansion if you align your efforts with your esoteric ruler, Sun. Lean into your soul purpose: to become self-conscious as soul and radiate the inner light to all.
Spiritual lesson: Shifting from personal glory to group consciousness, letting the soul's light shine through the personality without distortion.
