Lions Lions Everywhere: The King Archetype Roars as Mars Races through Leo Decan 3
No Kings Day Protests, Operation Rising Lion, and King Charles Takes the Fathers Day Publicity Award
This reality is a simulation, make no mistake.
Why this reality is not base reality….
Over the years I have come to one singular conclusion. This life, this reality, this world is not real. It’s some kind of fabrication. Maybe my body is on a spaceship in hibernation to a new world and this is all a suspended animation dream.
Astrology as a practice made me see this with utter clarity.
The asteroid belt, the space rubble of a demolished planet that circles between Mars and Jupiter, has been telescope catalogued with 26,000 bits of debris so far named by amateur and professional astronomers.
In my practice I learned that the client with Dionysus and Bacchus, the wine god asteroids on her midheaven, grew up to become a sommelier.
Add the mystic woman client who channels dead David Bowie with asteroid of same name on her MC career point.
Or the Integral Theory fellow who works high up in the Ken Wilber world who was born with asteroid “Wilbur” right on his midheaven.
Or how about this midheaven tale: Israel prime minister Netanyahu, born with asteroid Hephaestus on his career point, who named the Gaza offensive Operation Iron Swords. His Virgo midheaven is joined with the mythic blacksmith who armed Zeus with thunderbolts, who forged the weapons of the gods. Count the missiles, oh, I mean Iron Swords.
By October 2024, Israel said it bombed 40,000 locations in the Gaza Strip (which is 360 km2). By one estimate, the bomb tonnage dropped on Gaza is more than 70,000 tonnes, which academic Robert Pape noted surpassed the combined bomb tonnage dropped on Dresden, Hamburg, and London in World War II.
Warlord Mars Finishes 2 Months in Leo and suddenly it’s raining Lions (the sign of Kings)
Mars leaves Leo June 17 after entering the sign mid April — and as he finishes up in the last decan he crosses fixed star Regulus “Little King” where Donald Trumps ascendant sits. This royal Persian star brings fame, riches, power with the warning label of falls from great success heights due to hubris.
The last ten degrees of Leo is a decan associated with the tarot card Seven of Wands:
This card often depicts a person standing on a raised platform, defending themselves against multiple opponents with a wand. It symbolizes a need to stand your ground, protect and defend.
Perhaps Donald Trump is feeling this way now as he fell out with buddy Elon Musk and most recently faced the No Kings Day nationwide protests against his crack down on illegal immigrants. Admittedly, in reviewing many of the AP press photos, the crowds are moderate to sparse — this is no 1967 summer of love mass protests against Viet Nam War — though with Jupiter heading into Leo next summer and Aries bound Saturn still in play, we may very well see mass protests by young people against a war happen all over again.
What about King Netanyahu?
He’s been a busy little war monger. (If you still believe demolishing Gaza was ever about Hamas google “Ben Gurion canal” and do your research.) Even then, that is the tip of a theocratic zionist state ambition to claim the “holy land” as Gods promise while of course USA and UK just want the casinos and hotel rights on an estimated 5 billion revenue per year alternative to the Egyptian Suez Canal.
But I doth digress.
The unprovoked bombing of Iran was named Operation Rising Lion and in the chart of Israel Leo the Lion occupies the 11th house of “great gains” and wishes and dreams, desires and ambitions. For Netanyahu the Leo sky falls into his ninth house of “don’t drink the Koolaid” religion, where his Mars not only hangs out, but conjuncts the nation of Israels very own Leo Mars.
Did you know that Menachem Mendel Schneerson deceased head of Chabad — an orthodox branch of Judaism based in Brooklin — told a young man Netanyahu he was the basically the Messiah? The one who would reclaim a greater (land mass) Israel for the chosen people. Yeah, there’s that.
The Meaning Of "Rising Lion"
The "Rising Lion" expression is taken from verse 23:24 of the Book of Numbers in the Bible. The verse says, "Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.”
If you ever wondered if evil is alive and well in the world simulation…well.
Oh, and Iran itself is a Leo Rising. The clash of Lions, so to speak.

This is just a fun and light hearted Leo Lion story, the King Charles Edition, a chaser for the war monger stuff above.
The Next Act
Let’s watch what happens when war god Mars moves into earth sign Virgo Tuesday June 17th. All this roaring Lion content might be a lot like a fire being doused by dirt. Especially as Mars begins a trine, perfecting on the weekend of June 21/22, to Justice Jupiter exalted in Cancer.
What a crazy Lion studded week. In the comments let me know…where have Lions or Leos been appearing in YOUR life lately? Are they purring, or roaring?
The only place I saw sparse crowds was small town Alaska. Even deeply red areas across the country had thousands on the street. Here in San Diego there were 61,000 and this is a fairly small city with a huge Navy and Marine presence.
Daughter in her 40s is a Leo rising. I'm celebrating with a glass of wine tonight (after 4 weeks of keto dieting) given Mars just left Leo. She's been so great with opposing, bold statements this transit time that some have not understood or enjoyed so much :-)
