About the book

Leo's deepest book: the horoscope read as a map of the soul's evolution rather than a fortune — rays, auras, the star of individuality, and astrology rebuilt on reincarnation. Written after his court trials pushed him from prediction toward character, and it shows.

Circle, crescent, cross: the planet glyphs
0 XP

1 / 6

Most people learn the planet glyphs the way they learn road signs: this squiggle is Mars, that one is Saturn, move on. Leo thinks that misses the point. In his view the symbols were built on purpose, and they carried their inner meaning safely through the dark ages of materialism while almost nobody could read it.

Every planetary glyph is assembled from three marks: the circle, the semicircle and the cross. Alone or stacked in different orders, they spell out the whole set.

Each mark stands for one layer of a person. The circle is Spirit, the semicircle is Soul, the cross is Body. So a glyph is really a short sentence about how spirit, soul and matter are arranged in that planet's kind of influence.
