 Leo III 2025 starts on August 12, 2025 at 7:02 am EDT. Associated with the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis and the 7 of wands, it reminds us that sometimes you have to let them see you bend your knee, even if you don't bow in your heart.

This is also the Decan in which the Jupiter-Venus conjunction occurs this "year" (they're always about 445 days apart, and this year they're doing so within three minutes of the fixed star Sirius, a planet of stellar reputation for wealth and prosperity and fame and honor.  Don't sleep on this one, folks.

 The Sun enters Leo I on Tuesday, 22 July 2025 at 9:30 am EDT (and remains for ten days, eleven hours, two minutes). Called the Spotlight, it's associated with Hephaestus the artisan god of the forge. What are you working on? where are you applying your expertise? How are you doing the industrious work behind the scenes, REALLY changing the world while the allegedly great, alleged rulers of the world are fighting about whose changes are more important? https://andrewbwatt.com/2025/07/20/leo-i-sun-the-spotlight/

The Sun enters Leo I at 3:45 am on Monday 22 July 2024. "The Spotlight" is ruled mythically by Hephaestus and astrologically by planetary Saturn — what are you craftily crafting for your future success? What disciplines are you studying and honing to the point of excellence? Without effort, none of us perform at our best.

 The Sun enters Leo III The Banner, tomorrow 12 August 2023 at 7:30 pm EDT. 
 
Today, Serapis is often thought of as a god of abundance and the underworld — a divine amalgamation of Greek Zeus and Hades, and Egyptian Osiris and Apis.  We should remember he came to prominence as part of the Ptolemaic Dynasty's political strategy to maintain their power as the foreign-born rulers of an ancient civilization to convey a message: Abundance is the reward for obedience.

 Hephaestus rules the next ten days, beginning at 9:51 pm EDT tonight 22 July 2023.  *The Spotlight* is a place of both performance, and performance anxiety.  Are you ready to be the focus of everyone's attention? Are you ready to try to beat your last personal-best performance?  It's a challenging tightrope to walk, and all eyes are on you.  How will you measure up?

Serapis the grain-god of Ptolemaic Egypt was a synthetic, syncretic deity formed of a couple of handfuls of Osiris, a couple of handfuls of Ares/Mars, a handful or two of Zeus/Jupiter, and a smidgen of Apollo. The result was a harvest deity who commanded the people of Egypt to pay tribute in wheat and flour... which later Roman Emperors weaponized against the Senate to achieve total control over the empire, the Mediterranean, and the known world. It's hard to say how people will behave when they know you can cut off their food supply, their water or their energy. What are you eating in this time of abundance? What are you storing against future challenges? How are you managing your relationship with the essentials of life?

 Sun enters Leo III on 12 Aug 2021 at 7:59 am EDT. Serapis, a syncretic synthesis of Egyptian and Greek mythology, rules the next ten days. What does harmonious diversity look like? Is it imposed, or does it arise naturally? Is it chaos, or homeostasis?   https://andrewbwatt.com/2021/08/11/sun-in-leo-iii-serapis/
