Leo
August 1, 2007
In late July, the fiery Lion begins his rule, warming and brightening our hemisphere. The Sun is his lord and Leo shines accordingly, lighting up the zodiac. The Lion’s days are July 23 – August 22. Leo is the second sign of fire. The fly wheel initiating fires of Aries have consolidated into the fixed fire of Leo. When you compare the power of the Sun with anything else in our Solar System, you see why Leo is considered by most astrologers to be the most powerful of the signs.

Three months ago on April 23, I heard that the Department of Homeland Security was planning to erect a spy tower two miles south of Arivaca overlooking our town. I found this an instant threat to my/our Constitutional Right to Privacy. Since then other issues have also become involved: freedom of information and from undue surveillance, to name a couple.
