The First 12 Days of Aries: Day 5

As you probably know, Aries is the first of the 12 months of the zodiac. As the first, it is the seed level of all that will unfold throughout the year.

Sixteenth century Kabbalist Rav Isaac Luria explained the specific technology of this month is that the first 12 days correspond to the 12 months of the upcoming year. For example, the first day corresponds to the months of Aries, the second, Taurus, the third, Gemini, and so on.

Our consciousness and behavior on these 12 days actually create the experiences we will have in the months ahead. These 12 days, then, are a time of testing, and they contain opportunities to transform ourselves and to carve out a new destiny. It is as if we have a 12-day cosmic window to “walk through the fire,” so to speak, in order to bring the world and ourselves to a higher spiritual vibration.

As Rav Berg once said, “During the month of Nissan (Aries), we must expect arguments and conflicts, which are simply opportunities to reveal Light. The negative side will do everything in its power to prevent us from using the tools at our disposal to control our destiny. But we will not be trapped. We shall elevate and confront the responsibility entrusted to us.... We have a duty (through our spiritual efforts) to turn on the Light, and whoever is not capable of loving his enemy should at least act with human dignity towards him.”

Day 5 - Leo: April 5, 2014

Leos, even the quiet ones, generally have a strong personality. When a Leo enters a room, people can feel his or her presence. By nature magnanimous and generous, Leos like to be acknowledged and praised, and knowing this, it’s no surprise that the sun governs this particular month. Because the sun is the preeminent power in our universe, Leos are often born with this feeling of being sort of God-like. When friends or family are faced with problems, a Leo might say something like, “I know exactly what your problem is and I know how to answer it. I know what you have to do to make things right.”

Now there’s no question that many times, we all believe that we know better than everybody else. What we often forget, however, is that a truly spiritual person steps aside, listens, and helps others learn for themselves what their problems are. Therefore, one of the spiritual tasks of the Leo is to learn that there are two conditions that must be met before anyone can tell another person what to do: (1) We are sure they will listen, and (2) we love them.

Internal: Change Your Consciousness

  • Explore areas where you might be misusing your strength. Look into how you can use it to help others, not to dominate them.
  • Look for areas in your life where you are consistently trying to be the center of attention. Make a conscious effort to see how it would be if you pulled back from the limelight.

External: Actions You Can Take

  • Pause before you speak, whether in a positive or a negative situation. Think about where you are coming from. What’s your motivation? Why do you want to say what you want to say? Ask yourself if it would really help the situation if you said this?
  • Give something to a place or person in need, but do so anonymously and without strings attached.
  • Try to find an opportunity to be empathetic and take a few moments to understand the perspective of the other person.
