The Book of Sophia

            “For who in this most beautiful of temples would put this lamp in any other or better place than the one from which it can illuminate everything at the same time? Aptly indeed is be named by some the lantern of the universe, by others the mind, by others the ruler. Trismegistus called him the visible God, watcher over all things. This indeed the Sun as if seated on a royal throne governs his household of Stars as they circle around.”   NICHOLAUS COPERNICUS                                                          Revolution of the Heavenly Spheres   Last week, we dove into the energetic power of Leo by first understanding its fixed nature, an...
