This time from late July to mid-August is the peak of summer. In ancient times, those days were called the "dog days" because the Dog Star, which we know today as Sirius, rises on the horizon at this time of the year.
Those days were not considered auspicious by the ancients. The heat gets unbearable and the sunlight is most intense. The deadly heat often brings fires and droughts. But the "dog days" of summer are not here just to torture you with deadly heat and natural disasters. They also bring a very potent spiritual energy to earth that can benefit you immensely if you use it consciously and that is the energy of the cosmic Lion.
The Lion is here at this time of the year to wake you up to your true nature so you could claim what is rightfully yours: freedom, sovereignty and power. The Lion is here to remind you that you are a sovereign being and there is no authority above you. You make decisions according to your own guidance system and no one tells you what to do.
The Lion is fierce and fearless. He will not sacrifice his freedom for safety and approval of others. He doesn't need anyone to validate him. He knows who he is and no one's opinion will change what he knows. He speaks his truth and lives his truth with no regard to how this makes anyone feel. The only beings he surrounds himself with are other lions who, like himself, are free spirits, who respect his sovereignty and whose sovereignty he respects.
At this time, when fear has paralyzed so many people on the planet and shut down their ability to think for themselves, the fierceness of the Lion is needed like never before. At this time, when a microscopic creature has been crowned and treated like a powerful royalty, let the Lion remind you who is the real King. It is you. Therefore, “Corona” (the Crown) belongs to you, not to the microscopic imposter.
At this time, like never before, claiming your spiritual sovereignty is the only thing that will give you a chance to live with dignity and self-respect. Drop your fear of rejection and abandonment and speak your truth unapologetically. If your friends reject you for speaking your mind and following your heart, they weren't your friends to begin with. If the rejection comes from family, it means that their love was conditional upon you being compliant with their demands, which is not love.
Allow your Lion to come forward and roar more and more each day. Say things you are afraid to say and do things you are afraid to do as much as you can. This will feel scary and uncomfortable in the beginning, but it will make you stronger and happier in the long run. So, don’t wait. Do it now.
