Astrology September 2009

astrology signLeo: Emperor (9 of Pentacles)

7/23 – 8/23
When your success is dependent upon a thing, that thing becomes the source of fulfillment. However, lasting fulfillment is obtained by overcoming personal challenges and meeting cherished goals. In this way, a sense of pride fuels your self-esteem. A situation you have been patiently tolerating will yield favorable results, and as you collect the prize, be sure to do it with dignity. Someone you’ve been trying to impress finally gives you the respect you deserve. Take from this confidence, authority, and success, but not at the expense of another. A true leader needs only to direct oneself.
