dance around them.
The house
that has Leo on the cusp (beginning) shows one place where you want to
express yourself and receive praise or admiration. That can also be
the place where you want to be treated royally and have others do
things for you. The motto of Leo is 揘othing but the best? It
takes very hard work to be the best and Leo is the place where we don't
want to be embarrassed by failure. This means that we will either work
very hard there and tend towards perfectionism, or give up the
struggle, be lazy, and
fool ourselves into thinking that we are above it all.
An example
of someone with Leo on the Mid-Heaven (career) is Martha
Stuart, a
legendary workaholic, running a media empire named after-what
else-her. The other place we want to express ourselves, receive praise
and admiration, and have 揘othing but the best?as our motto is
the house where our Sun is placed. Martha Stuart has her Sun in the
Ninth House, (higher education and publishing) and she publishes a
magazine that shows how to do everything to perfection.
Sagittarius: is Mutable
Fire. Mutable signs are communicators. Gemini gathers
facts quickly. Virgo gathers them slowly and carefully (Virgo is the
best sign for details). But Sagittarius is the sign of the Big
Picture. Never mind this fact or that. How does it all fit
together?
In your horoscope,
the house with Sagittarius on the cusp (beginning) is one of the
places where you tend to feel optimistic, safe and secure, so you will
be more adventurous in this area of your life. Since 揘othing
ventured, nothing gained? this can be a place of your biggest achievements.
On the negative side, it will show the place where you can be over
optimistic, charge in thinking that nothing can go wrong, and fall
flat on your face. The other place in your horoscope where this will
tend to be true is the house position of Jupiter, ruling planet of
Sagittarius.
Muhammed
Ali
for example, has Sagittarius on his 5th House, the house of sports and
games. Any doubts about where he felt, safe, secure, and lucky?
Jupiter, the ruler, is in his 10th House, career and public image,
showing that he could make a career from sports or 揷reative?
pursuits, and that whatever he did here would tend to come before the
public.
Martha
Stuart
has Sagittarius on her 2nd
House cusp. The 2nd house is money. Jupiter, the ruler, sits in house
number eight (other people's money). She became a 損aper
billionaire?after her IPO. Now you couldn't tell just by looking
at her horoscope that she would become a billionaire. But you could
have seen that money would tend to come to her from sources other than
her own salary.
