THE MONTH OF AV (LEO)

Breaking the Pride of Lions

A v is the fifth month on the lunar calendar, and it is the only month/sign ruled by the sun, which in Kabbalah represents the masculine aspect in the universe. Av means father. Its symbol is the lion, one of the four Holy Entities, the other three being the Bull (Taurus), the Eagle, and Mankind. The Zohar explains that energy descends from the Upper Worlds into our world through these four entities.

The Aramaic letters that connect us to the spiritual energy of the month are Caf , which created the sun, and Tet , which created the sign of Leo. Caf represents the Crown, royalty, balance, and completeness. Tet represents the sexual organ. This is generally understood as a dual potential for either bliss, or destruction, ecstasy or misery.

Leos receive their energy directly from the sun, and they are the only sign that falls under its influence. Because of this, Leos believe that the whole world revolves around them. Confident of their power and abilities, they broadcast their self-assurance to the whole world. And they are hard to ignore. Their appearance is generally stately and impressive, sometimes even intimidating, and they tend to be the center of attention. They may behave like benevolent but omnipotent royalty out for a walk among their loyal subjects. Leos demand respect, and if they are treated otherwise, they will either retaliate or dismiss the insignificant peasant as though they were shooing away a fly. Like kings or queens, they can be arrogant and disdainful. They are not like the rest of us. They are Leos!

Leos’ weak point is the heart, and they are prone to cardiovascular disease. Kabbalah tells us that a Leo’s role in the world is comparable to the heart’s role in the body. Both have been given the responsibility of pumping out and distributing all the energy that they receive.

Leos do not place their trust easily, but when they do, they choose companions and counsel wisely. They tend, however, to rely completely on themselves. They seldom ask for help, because they don’t feel they really need it. And even if they do ask, they don’t really listen to others’ advice. In their view, colleagues and friends are not helpmates or equals; their function is to do Leo’s bidding, like a rock star’s entourage. And despite the fact that they themselves are poor listeners, Leos are never shy about dispensing advice to others. They can even be heavy-handed and dictatorial, like authoritarian parents who feel they are surrounded by innocent and inexperienced children.

As natural leaders, Leos like to organize those around them, even when no one has asked to be organized. This is why we find many Leos in politics, education, and corporate leadership. Leos are always looking for a kingdom to rule. Their enormous Desire to Receive urges them to want everything they see and to take charge of every situation they encounter. They handle stress well, are goal oriented, and are generous and impartial in their dealings with their subordinates.
