LEO's courtly love
COSMIC
NAVIGATOR
"A love at once illicit and morally elevating, passionate and disciplined, humiliating and exalting, human and transcendent."
Francis X. Newman, ed. (1968).
The Meaning of Courtly Love.
Oh, Leo, Leo, the sign of love, nobility, happiness. The zodiac archetype that will do all in its power to entertain us, make us laugh, create for us, and protect us. Oh, thou mane crowned sign, who rules our hearts, can you also protect us from love? Can any sign defend us from that which we both desire and fear? And if there is a champion that can shield us from the woes of love, would we even consider commissioning him to carry such an ignoble task?
I agree, that paragraph was rather dramatic, but as we are now in the realm of Leo, the drama queen (or king), I wanted to dedicate this email to impossible loves.
Especially because according to Kabbalah and ancient Jewish lore, the day of love is the 15th day of the lunar month of Av, which always falls on the Full Moon during Leo (August 10th this year).
While Valentine, celebrated in Aquarius, the sign of friendships, is the day best suited for platonic love, the full moon in Leo, called in Hebrew, Tu Be'Av, is energetically designed for the fête of romantic love. After all, Leo rules both love and the heart. In the Talmud, it is mentioned that Tu be'Av was celebrated during the time of the Temple as the commencement of the grape's harvest. Grapes that have the tendency from the time of Noah to reincarnate as wine and intoxicate the lover and the beloved, became the ultimate symbol for passion. August 10th is a great day of a date with your beloved and don't be cheap on the wine...
