METAMORPHOSIS
Reformulation of self into a better, lighter expression of being
"Developing a sparkling expression of self"

The darkness of a cold night is symbolic of our troubles and suffering; yet a new day always dawns bringing its hope and fortifying the spirit. We have no choice but to engage with the trials and tribulations, yet with faith we will remember that sunrise always comes, and it brings with it a new day, a new way, potentially a feeling of optimism and joy. We can choose to  focus our attention on the night's terrors or dawn's promise and all that we become arises from this choice.

Rejuvenation

Delighting in every moment is the cause, not the result, of success

Whenever we overcome our tendency to accept personal limitation and procrastinate, we are supported by Nature’s gift of perpetual rejuvenation.

The real gifts of life are ever abundant and all around us in every moment – as long as we keep alert and notice things, especially unexpected occurrences.

An important life lesson, which allows a breakthrough to another dimension of contentment, is that we can relax and trust in the beneficence of Nature. All of our right choices are endorsed.

The image speaks to us of the continually surprising fillip we enjoy when life’s optimism reveals itself to us – in a fresh dawn, a spring day, or a rainbow – and we become excited by an event we have witnessed a thousand times before. Every one of our basic experiences is recurrent and the deep wisdom contained within them can sometimes reveal itself in quite unexpected ways. The morning dew is more than a phenomenon of pressure and temperature; it has a magical quality.

This quality underpins our expectation of success; our goals are sponsored by our feelings, and our feelings are more optimistic when we are refreshed by Nature’s wonders.

The greatest danger of life is that we lose sight of who we are and what truly outstanding accomplishments are at our fingertips. Every sunrise, and every conscious inhalation, is there to remind us that we are existentially magnificent – just by being alive, we achieve glory.

We have a talent, a very special talent, to find the better aspect of any situation. Even when threatened by disaster we can choose to access the optimism and confidence that we feel on a brisk sunny morning.

Commentary from Rochelle Beaty
​The gift of a fresh start. The reminder that blessings and opportunities are there if we open our minds and hearts. Even in the darkest nights of the soul the light of a new beginning will be gifted to all

Advanced Level: Elven Star Analysis

​Although we can find relevance in some way to all 360 degrees, each degree resonates particularly, and mysteriously, with the 6 other points of its Elven Star and clues, from the 7 Words System, and the Sabian Journey, are shown in the text below. This fifth degree of the Expression "Impact" is the Progression principle.

The scope of Leo 10 is "Developing a sparkling expression of self", and its means of expansion is Capricorn 14, "Investment in the long-term". Its preferred path, Gemini 18, "Enjoyment of solitude and the spiritual practice of self-reflection", leads to its principle challenge, found in Scorpio 22, "Accommodating instinctual drives".

Awareness of its spiritual purpose is described in Aries 27, "Having faith in attainable ideals and learning to avoid disappointment", which generates the feedback found in Libra 1, "Understanding that we are an imperfect example of an ideal" and thus the evolutionary gateway offered by Pisces 5, "Interact with others with integrity and lightness of being". 

​(This list will differ slightly from your Elven Star points unless your degree is exact, such as Taurus 15:00 not Taurus 15:39)
