Leo 10: Early morning dew

Like the constellated stars spread upon a grassy field...

The Leo series 6-10 contains three symbols with direct links to the idea of sparkling. Leo 7 "Constellations in the star"... the sparkling stars above.

Leo 9 "Glass blowers"... sparkling glass ware that can twinkle when shattered, gleam when smooth, shine, and filter light.

Leo 10 "Early morning dew" sparkles when the morning sun shines on it. It is very much like the stars in the heavens coming to blanket the earth. As above, so below.

Dew is not known for its longevity. It dissipates quickly under the warmth of the sun. Individuals with placements here may notice that success is fleeting, but also that it can return as the dew returns on another morning.

There is a lightness here in leo 10, perhaps defying the usual take of Leonine dramatic boldness. I find people to carry a quiet confidence through this degree. No need to shout or continually be in the headlines. The quiet confidence will, in the long haul bring fame or fortune in its own measure, in its own time, again and again.

Thank you Blain - I'm just discovering your insights into the symbols and am wanting to post again and again! This is my North Node degree and I have Venus on 11 Leo right alongside. I've been told that I have that kind of "quiet confidence" and power, I don't feel the need to be "showy" although I do love acting. It's taken me years to move out from the shadow of my career-driven Saturn/South Node conjunction in the 10th, and to relax into the North Node in the area of house and home. When I did, I found my power without really trying.
