LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
A Full Moon in your sign brings a matter close to your heart to completion. Your answers will be deeply personal. You’re having talks to understand what you truly feel. Most importantly, in the process of explaining yourself, you come to understand what you truly need.

When Moses ascended to heaven, the angels protested to G-d: “What is a human being doing amongst us?”
Said He to them: “He has come to receive the Torah.”
Said they to Him: “This esoteric treasure, which was hidden with You for nine hundred and seventy-four generations before the world was created, You wish to give to flesh and blood?… ‘What is man, that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You take notice of him? … Place Your glory upon the heavens!’ (Psalms 8:2-5)”
Said G-d to Moses: “Answer them.”
Said Moses: “Master of the Universe! I fear lest they consume me with the breath of their mouths.”
Said G-d: “Hold on to the Throne of Glory, and return them an answer.”
Said Moses: “Master of the Universe! This Torah that You are giving to me, what is written in it? I am the L-rd Your G-d, who has taken you out from the land of Egypt.”
“Have you descended to Egypt?” asked Moses of the angels. “Have you been enslaved to Pharaoh? So why should the Torah be yours?
“What else does it say? You shall have no other gods. Do you dwell amongst idol-worshipping nations? What else does it say? Remember the Shabbat day. Do you work? … What else does it say? Do not swear falsely. Do you do business? What else does it say? Honor your father and your mother. Do you have parents? What else does it say? Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal. Is there jealousy among you? Do you have an evil inclination?”
Straightway the angels conceded to G-d… and each one was moved to befriend Moses and transmit something to him. Even the Angel of Death too confided his secret to him…
(Talmud, Shabbat 88b)
