29. Leo

Regality, self-esteem, chasing passions

To deny your heart's joy is to deny nourishment to your spirit.

Leos are expressive and determined people who have a zest for life. They know what their passions are, and they are 100 percent committed to the things they want. They will go after a goal with everything they have, and use everything you have too if they think it will get them the recognition they not only expect but demand. The biggest threat to Leo’s existence is the idea of living life small. Leos believe in greatness and aren’t content with being merely good. They must be the best, or they won’t feel fulfilled.

You have pulled this card to borrow some of Leo’s regality and self-esteem. Leos do not believe in being seen but not heard. They are masters of self-promotion who will roar until they get their point across, then they’ll roar some more just for good measure. Your situation requires the same level of self-assuredness and self-love. You must learn to love yourself enough to expect others to treat you with dignity. There’s no need to be mean or rude, but everyone deserves to be treated fairly and sometimes you have to remind people that you will not be taken for granted.

Furthermore, Leo guides you to chase after your passions without delay. The things you desire are not by chance or flights of fancy. Leos rule the heart, and to deny your heart’s joy is to deny nourishment to your entire spiritual being.
