Leo Careers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are\u00a0 in Leo season!\u00a0 This is the sixth in a series in which I look at careers for the various zodiac signs.\u00a0 Maybe you have children or grandchildren born under this sign, and are looking at their potentials, or you are a Leo looking at re-training for a change of career.\u00a0 If you are a Lion and have found an ideal or fulfilling career,\u00a0 you could share that under comments.<\/p>\n

The Boss\/Businessman\/woman\/Leader\/CEO<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Leos do not like to work under someone else’s jurisdiction, and therefore you will often find they will take their strength or speciality, and turn it into a business.\u00a0 They work well with Virgos, who tend to be conscientious but do not like so much to lead.\u00a0 Taureans too are very supportive, though there may be a clash of wills.

\nActor \/ Actress<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Leo is one of two signs I associate with the acting profession.\u00a0 The other sign is Pisces, which represents the more sensitive and nuanced side of an actor in portraying inner psychological states.\u00a0 Leo is more flamboyant, playful, and dramatic.<\/p>\n

Famous Examples: <\/em>Arnold Swarzenegger (plays the strong man who seems to always triumph)<\/p>\n

Bennifer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who just got married in Las Vegas, both Leos)<\/p>\n

Alexander Vlahos (who played Philippe, Duke of Orleans in Versailles)<\/p>\n

Barbara Windsor (of Carry On fame; also played Peggy Mitchell landlady of the Queen Vic Pub in Eastenders)<\/p>\n

Film director<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Film Director controls and oversees all aspects of the making of a film.\u00a0 Many Film Directors are born under Leo, and embody that total creative vision.<\/p>\n

Famous Examples: <\/em>Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Sam Mendes, Christopher Nolan, Roman Polanski, John Huston, Cecil B. de Mille, Wim Wenders, Peter Bogdanovich, Wes Craven

\nPerformer<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This displays the Leo traits of creativity and self-expression.\u00a0 You may find the Leo fronting in a band (e.g. Mick Jagger in the Rolling Stones, and Mark Knopfler in Dire Straits), or treading the boards (as above), or performing as a soloist in an orchestral setting.
\n<\/strong>
\nConductor<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Conductor in an orchestra literally plays the role of leader with control over the whole orchestra, rather like the Film Director for a film.
\n<\/strong>
\nPlaywright\/Scriptwriter<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Associated with theatre, drama and acting.\u00a0 Some actors go on to scriptwriting, or film directing.<\/p>\n

Leo writer Carla Lane was the creator of successful sticoms for television The Liver Birds, Butterflies, and Bread.<\/p>\n

Occupational Therapist<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An Occupational Therapist can work in a holistic way to empower the patient in various activities in rehabilitation.\u00a0 This is a worthwhile role for a Leo.<\/p>\n

Leos are particularly suited to the role of Youth Worker, as they have an innate playfulness, and can nurture the Inner Child.<\/p>\n

Teacher<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You will often find Leos in the profession of Teaching, and they often find they can bring out their inner performer in order to project their personality and engage their pupils.\u00a0 Even if the teacher does not have Sun in Leo, they may for instance have Midheaven in Leo which represents the Persona in the outside world, which they can bring out for this purpose.\u00a0 The Sun, which rules Leo, is central in a birth chart, and may occupy a special significance in the chart of a teacher.<\/p>\n

Holiday Rep<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Hedonist Archetype of the Leo personality would lend itself well to a career in the tourist industry, enabling others to enjoy their leisure time.<\/p>\n

Other Occupations:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Working with Competitions, Speculation, Gambling (e.g. a Bookie or Croupier!), because the Sun and Leo are expressive and lucky in these spheres.\u00a0 For this reason, possibly property development may also be an attractive path, though this would also come under Capricorn and Saturn for property.<\/p>\n

A Modern Option: <\/em>Social Media “Influencer”!<\/p>\n

Talented Leos can turn their minds to a host of occupations, just as long as they are calling the shots!<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Early tomorrow morning (Monday 25th) Jupiter squares Venus, so you may be confronted with an awkward social situation.\u00a0 Behaviour may be gauche or a little inappropriate, and that may have consequences.\u00a0 You may be socializing when you don’t feel like it, or feel that you have to force jollity.\u00a0 There will be a meaning to it – there always is!\u00a0 Even if it is one remark which makes you think deeply, or helps you to realize what you don’t need.\u00a0 Social non-conformists won\u2019t care, but conformists may lament the lack of sticking to the rules.<\/p>\n

The Mean North Node conjoins with Uranus that day at 18 degrees Taurus, which will give you a taste of the True North Node conjunct Uranus which occurs next Sunday (31st July).\u00a0 This can bring sudden and surprise events, and is good for innovation and innovators.\u00a0 It may be a significant day in relation to proposed and threatened strike action, which is in the air in the U.K.\u00a0 It could be eventful for those engaged in Uranian professions, such as Electricians, Engineers and Astrologers.\u00a0 On the world stage, there may be some startling changes.\u00a0 Aquarians and Taureans may be most affected, as well as anyone who has a planet or angle at 18 degrees in their chart.\u00a0 The effect may last all week, through to next week.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (26th) early evening Mercury squares Mars, which can bring can bring irritations, wars of words, and minor cuts and bruises.\u00a0 So, proceed with caution.\u00a0 If you are sufficiently centred, you may be quite productive, producing brisk work.<\/p>\n

On to Thursday (28th) and an opportunity for a fresh start afforded by the New Moon at 5 degrees Leo.\u00a0 This emphasizes the holiday making, creative and performing qualities of the sign and the season. In fulfilling the spirit of holidaymaking, staycationing would seem the best bet, seeing continuing difficulties for some overseas travellers.\u00a0 But it is some kind of a new beginning, so if you have experienced some testing times recently, you can press the re-set button.<\/p>\n

In the evening, Jupiter will be Stationary prior to turning Retrograde, increasing the count of retrograde planets, which include Saturn, Chiron, Neptune and Pluto.\u00a0 You might feel it is difficult to make progress under such conditions, but most years you see a similar pattern for planets going retrograde, and life goes on!\u00a0 As for Jupiter, Sagittarians may feel the effect more than most.\u00a0 Though you may have been working along a particular line and making steady progress, you may now have to re-assess.\u00a0 One of the Tory contenders for leadership may have to make a U-turn on prospective policies, seeing an adverse public reaction.<\/p>\n

Even later on Thursday evening, Mercury squares Uranus, which is the the spanner-in-the-works aspect of Uranus square Mercury.\u00a0 Back up your computer files, and consider I.T. loopholes, as this is a time when you may experience glitches in this area.\u00a0 Your Intuition is your guide to your way through these anomalies.\u00a0 Set your antennae to a higher frequency!<\/p>\n

This looks like a tricky week, and coming up to next weekend that may intensify as we near the conjunction of the True North Node with Uranus.\u00a0 So I am bringing in a little soothing balm from the Fixed Stars for the end of the week (Friday\/Saturday), one of which is the Asellus Borealis, the Gemma star of the constellation of Cancer.\u00a0 According to \u201cStarlight Elixirs\u201d by Michael Smulkis and Fred Rubenfeld:<\/p>\n

“With use of this star there is some strengthening in the dream state of the ability to perceive your direction with your family and how things are to work themselves out together.\u00a0 The ability to nurture others is strengthened.\u00a0 This star can assist individuals in professions that rely heavily on such nurturing abilities, such as nursing, childcare, or teaching younger children.”<\/p>\n
