Leo Rising

Sandra Sitron from  Strong Eye Astrology  talks about how to find happiness within the boundaries of our zodiac signs.

“Happiness really comes from your sense of purpose,” Sitron explains, adding, “whether it’s learning to make really good eggs or being a compassionate being.”

It's funny this Leo spent her whole life looking for recognition.  Recognition for a job well done, recognition for being a good mom, making the most of what God gave me, a whole host of things.  I finally gave up and decided I would dig deep and find it from within (duh).  Never look outside yourself in the hope that you will get what you need from others. You will be disappointed.  That's not to say you won't get what you crave from family, friends, a boss, etc, you can and often times will, but  you must acknowledge it from within before you can recognize and receive it from others.

Design According to your your Sign ~ Nevermind

Your whole life you think you are a Leo.  If you believe in designing according to where the sun's position was along the zodiac path the day you were born, you gravitate towards these colors:

You love gold and sheen ( I never met a paillette I didn't like).  You live in grand style, value excellence, quality, and LOVE drama in design.  Leos have a creative flair that is reflected in their homes and the way they entertain; therefore making them good hostesses.  They love hides and animal prints for their exoticism.  Warmth is most definitely conveyed!

Then all the sudden astronomers tell us that the Earth's alignment has shifted because of the moon's gravitational pull after centuries and has altered the signs.  WHAT??  It can't be, I'm not a Cancer; because if you're a Cancer, these are your colors:

Nostalgia defines this sign's personality.  Cancers are homebodies (which I most certainly am not).  They like the protection of home, it is their retreat.  I think that applies to everyone, though.  They like soft muted colors, functionality, a casual, comfy environment.  OK, I get all that but- Cancers like large entertaining spaces, they are conservative in style, and very attached to sentimental belongings and gifts from others.  Cancers use curves in their decor, and they are control freaks and perfectionists (not my words but I have been accused of both).   Part of my identity is rooted in the belief that I am a Leo, so I am just staying a Leo!  And what's with the new sign they added?
