♌︎ Leo
Leo falls in the high summer of the Northern Hemisphere, where the tradition was born, and the Sun is its star. The old reading gives it warmth, generosity and the wish to be seen. A Leo wants to create and show what it can do, and it carries others along with it. It is loyal as long as it is taken seriously, and hurt when it is overlooked. Its task, it is said, is to shine without taking the light from others.
♍︎ Virgo
Virgo falls at harvest time in the Northern Hemisphere, where the tradition was born, and it is given an eye for what is useful and what is not. It is thought of as precise, helpful and practical, someone who sorts, improves and rarely makes a fuss about it. Mercury, its ruler, shows itself here as the discerning mind. Its weakness is a tendency to self-criticism, its strength practical service: with Virgo, things get finished.
