If a storm is coming is it of any value to know about this in advance? Yes, most people would say: To take the necessary precautions and ride it off, instead of be taken by surprise.
So, gather your energy, clarify your intention and mobilize your whole being so a leap can be made.
On a personal level we can break free from chains – psychological and regarding our work and relationships. Some chains we have carried for so long that we may only notice that they are there under special circumstances.

Regulus, Guardian of the North , (FIRE- LION)

Among astrologers they are treated with veneration. Not because there is any code of ethics demanding this in the ‘astrologers handbook’, but simply because they only reveal their secrets when approached with this attitude.
A structure like the Roman Empire, which still pervades our structures in society, relies on ignorance and obedience of the people inside, and the suppression and exploitations of the people outside. The fuel that keeps the machine running is fear. Fear of losing position within the hierarchy and to be expelled from the ‘good company’, where everything looks like freedom but feels like death.
Tools are needed to keep "the machine" running. One is a constant reinforcement of habitual and reflexive patterns of obedient reactions to persons in positions of authority – also known as our education system. When this system has squelched the balanced AMOR mind of the child, and installed an unbalanced ROMA mind, there is one more agent of the empire to enforce its laws.
In the esoteric tradition this societal structure of the empire is likened to a vampire, which is more than just a convenient metaphor: Individuals who willingly participate in maintaining this structure, and allows fear-induced channels to be attached to their energy system, are having their life force tapped and directed to the center of the spider web, where it is consumed by something that should have withered away and died for a long long time ago. If this sounds like something from a Harry Potter book, it might be about time that you examine and make a decision about the resources you turn to for education.
Real insights and education of course comes from your own heart, and with the Heart of the Lion now in Virgo we will see structures emerge that are governed by wisdom. Structures governed by a much more humble and potent form of leadership. Potent because it align with the natural expression of Regulus in Virgo.
Likewise old power structures will become more and more desperate in trying to maintain their source of life force, until they inevitably will have to let go and face the karma that have been build up for millennia. In the personal psyche this will feel like old patterns of behavior, which are identified with the modus-operandi of the current societal structure, and their unwillingness to let go.
As the old power structures are crumbling, room is given for the new. On the shadow side there is no longer any bar hindering fragmented collective sub-personalities fueled by the cardinal sins, to create havoc.
With Regulus in the sign of Virgo, the focus of leadership will be what is being born and how to serve this. This attitude heals the old antagonistic dualism between the masculine and the feminine. In the individual psyche it can be experienced as a deep decision by the masculine to serve and protect the feminine, which will eventually release or “melt” the ROMA mind. This allows for the feminine energy to relax and combine more and more with the flow of life, trusting and bonding the masculine energy.
For aeons the Celestial Father and Mother have had their backs turned to each other, we are now about to experience a world where these energies are turned “face to face” as the Kabbalistic tradition describes it.
