Happy Birthday Leo, the fifth sign of the Zodiac. The celestial lion is a dramatic, creative, loyal, loving, strong, ardent, social, protective, pleasure-loving, stylish, generous, faithful, and of course, godly creature.
Famous Leos include Selena Gomez, Coco Chanel, Stephanie Seymour, Charlize Theron, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Iman, Napoleon, Whitney Houston, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Barack Obama, and Madonna.
I’ve always loved Madonna, but I’ve always questioned her agenda too. She’s been through far more than anyone knows, her real background is as confusing and secret as that other famous Leo, Barack Obama. But no one can deny this woman has talent, in both tunes and biz. She preaches that we can save the world in four minutes, yet her albums aren’t printed on recycled paper and her jewel case is not made from recycled plastic.
I have seen albums who manage to do both, so I know it’s possible. Therefore, I have to wonder, how genuine is this Leo? Regardless, I cannot deny there is something I relate to in Madonna, and I think it’s her independent spirit and feminist nature. And then I wonder if that’s not just one of her acts too… Like her super bowl gig where she dressed up as an Illuminati member wearing an Egyptian headdress. Here’s the million-dollar question: Was that role-play or real life?
Either way, Madonna comes up with some great tunes–and music in and of itself is a verified healing tool. Hence, all singers are healers. Every sound has a vibrational signature, which resonates to a specific healing frequency. Music is indeed the speech of angels. Say what you want about Madonna, but for those special albums I’ll never grow tired of listening too, I’m grateful for this Leo and the healing she’s brought to all of us.
So, why is the orange a Leo? Because it looks like the Sun. It’s that simple. Rosemary is also a Leo because it is a plant that thrives in the hot, dry heat. You can read more about Medieval Herbal Astrology on my blog or in Nicholas Culpeper’s 300-year-old book, “Heal Thyself.”
