Channeling love letters from the Universe
Channeling love letters from the Universe
The Sun walks into a bar...
yes, the luminary.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one.
He sits down at the bar.
The bartender,
sliding on a pair of Ray Bans, asks,
“what’ll it be, pal?”
The Sun looks around the cold, dark bar, and replies,
"Tequila Sunrises for everyone!"
The warmth from the Sun’s generosity begins
to spread out across the bar,
and the energy shifts.
Suddenly Venus is canoodling with Mars,
and Mercury's spinning witty yarns.
The magnetic pull is so strong
everyone circles the Sun
to offer up a toast for his generosity.
He was only being exactly what he was created to be,
but now with his own light being reflected back to him
he can see his favorite thing
in the entire Universe...
HIS OWN REFLECTION.
It's unfathomable, though,
don't you think?
...how the brilliance of the sun
can only be seen and felt
when it has something to shine on?
Think about it,
the Sun's the brightest object
in the Earth’s sky!
A roaring ball of nuclear fusion so big,
that one million Earths can fit inside of it.
One. Million. Earths.
I mean, come on, people!
We're talking about
the absolute center of the solar system...
the very reason we have
light,
warmth,
and LIFE!
And youre telling me that without
an object to shine on,
the Sun is left alone
in the cold dark void of space,
unnoticed,
unappreciated,
and unable to see his own
reflection!?
Maybe it’s just me, but there's no way he took the position of
"front and center stage"
so that he could go unnoticed.
This guy definitely wants to be seen!
Reminds me of somebody else we know...
Oh Hello, Leo,
Meet
your ruling planet
and
Welcome to
your story!
Okay,
Let that sink in,
and I'll flip the scene.
...ready?
A Leo walks into a bar...
Yes, it’s a blow-dry bar.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one..
Every woman
in the blow-dry bar
turns to watch her
make her way
to her usual chair.
Whether they approve of her, or not,
they all want to
get a look at her.
Her stride is so regal,
and her outfit is tres chic.
She smells like something
you smelled at the
Neiman Marcus
perfume counter
that one time,
and her makeup is flawless.
“Chanel”, someone whispers.
There is an undeniable air about her,
and she knows it!
Good bad or ugly,
everyone is drawn to it.
As Leo sits down in the chair, the stylist exclaims,
“OH MY GOD, I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!”
She gets that a lot.
“What’re we doing today?” the stylist asks,
running her fingers through Leo’s long, thick mane,
then continues...
“We’re running a special today on the Rough-Dry .. just $49.99”
the stylist informs.
"We run the flat iron through at the end."
“Oh no!...
I want that luxury, bore-haired-bristle-brush-set blow out,
with the diamond dust infused conditioning treatment, please”
Leo responds excitedly.
“..and a glass of champagne!”, she adds.
"what a night I had last night!"
While her hair is being styled,
she is telling the funniest story about a date she went on
last night.
She’s so hilarious and animated, that anyone within earshot is drawn in.
The other ladies begin to laugh
and chime in.
Even a usually quiet
water sign— who at first
was annoyed by how loud Leo’s voice was
over the sound of the blow dryers--
is now fully engaged, and can’t resist this hilarious recount.
Leo's magnetic pull is powerful,
and she has become the center of attention, which causes the energy
of the blow-dry bar to shift.
Several ladies move in around her,
and she orders more champagne...
this time
for everyone!
She simply cannot exist in the
cold dark vacuum of her space.
Her magnetic pull will always
draw objects toward her to
generously reflect her light.
It's simple physics.
So blame it on science,
because not only did her
hilarious dating stories
remind the quiet water sign
that there are plenty of fish in the sea,
and that she doesn't have to
put up with a shark anymore,
She also inspired the other ladies
to upgrade their services to the
luxury, bore-haired-bristle-brush-set-blowout,
with the
diamond dust infused conditioning treatment, too,
because, dammit,
they deserve it too!
Now they all look and feel fabulous!
She brought light, warmth and LIFE
to everyone around her
in the blow-dry bar.
She was simply being what she was created to be.
When her blow-dry was over,
she tipped her stylist
generously,
and made her way
to the front door,
where she paused,
turned back for a moment,
and checked her reflection
in the mirror,
one last time.
It's a Leo thing.
and yes,
everyone was watching.
This very same story
could have been about a
Leo Man.
Just exchange the
blow-dry Bar
for a
BAR•ney’s, New York.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one...
He is noticed the moment
he parades through the
front door.
He is immediately mistaken for a celebrity.
He does absolutely nothing to dispel this notion,
and at one point,
he even
poses for a selfie
with the mesmerized
sales-associate
behind the Tom Ford fragrance counter.
She posted it to her social media.
he naturally 'liked" it.
He spends an obscene amount of money on himself,
presses more Ben Franklins into the palms
of appreciative sales-associates than you can count,
and in general,
brightens the day of everyone around him.
Is it a deep and meaningful,
life-altering transformation for anyone?
I doubt it.
Did it solve any world problems,
or heal any illnesses?
Probably not.
But it was a whole lot of fun!
I don’t know about you,
but I could sure use a
happy distraction
now and then.
Someone to take my mind off
the stresses of the day.
Someone to remind me that
it’s okay to indulge a little,
and have some fun.
It just happens to be
Leo's super power.
They simply do
what they were created to do.
As long as someone is happy
because of something that
Leo is doing,
or saying,
or giving,
then everyone
gets to feel the warmth of the Sun,
and skip the cold dark vacuum of their space.
Even if, just for an hour.
I know I'm not
telling you anything
you didn't already know.
The world is already
familiar with the
bigger-than-life
personality of a Leo.
Both the men, and the women naturally command attention.
It's simply part of their fabric,
and they cannot escape it.
They love to shine in a
center-of-the-galaxy
kind of way,
and they rarely fly under the radar.
Although it’s true that
all Leo’s
need to shine and be appreciated
as much as they need to breathe,
it’s also true that
not all Leo’s
necessarily
want that attention directly on themselves.
They don’t all
want to be noticed for
their looks,
or their personality,
or their clothes,
or their flamboyant generosity.
A lesser known fact about Leos
is that all of that magnetic wattage can be overwhelming.
Even for them!
Many Leos have no idea how to
harness all that nuclear fusion.
That magnetic pull is stronger
than they can handle,
and they don't know what to do
with the attention.
It leaves them
shy and self-conscious,
so they work to hide away.
Preferring to shine alone,
in the cold dark vacuum of
their space,
so to speak.
But it's really no use.
Because try as they might,
in the end,
they are still a Leo,
they are still ruled by the Sun,
and there isn’t anything
in this galaxy
that can block their corona.
It's always just a matter of time before something about them
magnetically draws attention.
Their art,
their offspring,
their voice,
their home,
their humor,
a discovery they've made...
Something.
Take J.K. Rowling, for instance. She just wanted to write.
Or Martha Stewart,
she just wanted to bake pies.
Henry Ford
just wanted to build cars.
Amelia Earhart
just wanted to fly planes.
Tom Brady
just wanted to play football.
Mick Jagger
just wanted to play in a band.
Coco Chanel
just wanted to sew.
Kylie Jenner
just wanted fuller lips.
All Leos.
All magnetic.
So if you're spending time
with a Leo,
keep those Ray Bans handy,
because when a Leo gets a notion
to shine their light on something,
there is nothing in this galaxy that can block
their brilliant corona.
It will be reflected back.
This goes for the fierce way they love you, too.
Male or Female,
family, friendship or romantic.
The impression of the lions
paw prints across your heart
transforms the shape of it,
and you are never the same.
When you are truly loved
by a Leo,
the sheer magnitude of that love will illuminate everything about you,
and you will forever reflect the power of it.
Their generosity is unmatched,
and their love is so immensely powerful,
that there is nothing in this galaxy big enough to block its light.
A Leo leaves a mighty impression in your life
and on your heart...
don't forget,
Leo rules the heart.
How do I know?
I had a Leo Mother.
Her Corona was magnificent.
She is irreplaceable.
Happy Birthday, Leo
We Welcome your energy.
