Leo Horoscope for March 2013

This is an interesting month of introspection, Leo, with the retrograde of Mercury through your sector of personal evolution, and following the intensity of the last days of February when everything seemed to fall apart only to pull together again in new ways. You have been caught up, for many weeks now, in the exploration of your interior process, leading to a better, further, and deeper commitment to yourself. You are beginning to entertain, in a new way, the idea that you include Spirit as a normal part of your waking life. It suddenly becomes important that you allow family and relationship with others to rise nearer to the top of your priority list. You are digging deep over this month and the next, first preparing, as you refine your purpose; and then, finally, as you are ready, to act.

As the month begins, you are swimming in the depths of your secret self, more fully examining the dark places within you that complement your outer consciousness by opposing them in the profound caverns of inner development. This inner exploration was highlighted by the recent Full Moon in your resources sector from the beginning of the last week in February, when you might have seen your own process reflected in the eyes of others or among the realizations stemming from the intricate workings of a special relationship.

An entirely mystical process has overtaken you, with Neptune, Venus, Chiron and the Sun conjunct in your sector of personal evolution and intimacy with significant partners. This sector of your chart occupies the dark shadows of your personality rather than the sunlight that represents a more natural part of your basic nature. This inward tendency is magnified by the presence of retrograde Mercury in this same sector of your chart. Instead of mainly outer experience, you are looking to the inside now for information and for sustenance. Intimacy with yourself at deep levels is equally implied by this configuration.

While the Mercury Retrograde implies that this month is not the best time for direct action, you are still actively thinking and even dreaming about a future for yourself that involves a radical shift in priorities. You are very much cognizant of a coming change in your psychic weather, and perhaps also seeing this shift as a move into closer alignment with soul purpose; this is one key to where you are heading right now.

Another touchstone for what you are currently going through is represented by a more alert sense of your own inner wounding. This is represented symbolically by the highlighted presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, prominent in your intimacy sector. You might be in the process of learning something important regarding inner wounds that you carry, and if so, this awareness is the start of healing these issues. It is enough right now to bear witness. You don't have to do anything but silently observe, with a steady gaze, everything that happens to you over this monthly cycle, and to take it all in as manifestation with some positive sides; rather than a problem, a piece of the cosmic plan, an ingredient of the solution.
