My Leo Sun and My Taurus Moon

How I look at the world each day

Is a curious interplay

Of fire and earth, cadent and fixed,

And often my impressions are mixed.

The world entices me from the cocoon

Of my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon.

 

How I shine and how I feel…

To find a balance would be ideal.

The goal, of course, is to do what's right;

The nuances are ever so slight.

It's just a matter of being in tune

With my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon.

 

Although I'm more complex than this,

Their strong influence is hard to miss.

Understanding who I am

Partly comes from the diagram

Of what occurs when they commune--

My Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon.

 

It isn't just as simple as that--

My Sun and Moon both having a chat.

It might make me ill at ease

To ignore the many intricacies

Of aspecting planets. Never jejune

Are my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon.

 

Add my Rising Sign and see

How other people look at me.

Virgo adds more earth to tame

And somewhat soften my Leo flame.

There's no reason to ever impugn

My Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon.

 

Finding answers within and without

Helps to dispel the burden of doubt.

Tools to study the self abound;

What we discover can be profound.

Knowledge of self comes never too soon

With my Leo Sun and my Taurus Moon.

I am immensely jealous that I did not write this incredible piece of thoughtful and beautifully painted poetry, my friend. I feel like I was taken on an amazing Rollercoaster ride through the universe and my own soul. This conjures more than just the zodiac signs. It speaks of purpose in an ever changing world and our existence within it. Self discovery in the lessons of a life lived. Bravo, Bob, for such an enlightening piece of art.

Thank you, Carlos. Even though the astrological references are personal to me, I wanted to suggest how they are a significant part our our path to self-discovery. I cherish your comments.
