First, I made the following post as a short rant:
In counseling, consulting, or coaching, clients with Leo Suns (particularly Suns, but Ascendants or pertinent bodies or points too) should NOT be advised to "eliminate their Ego." Leos are meant to live in full-fledged aware Egos, and in a transcended, fulfilled, successful Leo will truly be acting consciously in their Character and Story. Leos are the best Actors, Thespians, Performers, and Stars. Having an Ego is Leo's claim to fame, day job, role in the world, and RESPONSIBILITY. A Leo without an Ego is a Leo with a severe mental disorder. We exist to be acknowledged for the light we shine everywhere like we'd explode if we couldn't let it out, like the SUN LOL I can't believe this shit needs to be said...
This rule could apply to any Zodiac: Tropical, Draconic, Sidereal (I'm not a Joytish practitioner today but this is super basic cross-cultural stuff), and Heliocentric too, why not? Just replace Sun with Earth.
This "you must eliminate the Ego" stuff in spiritual teachings has to stop. It's wonderful advice "in general" that folks can learn from, but it's not that simple. Honestly, at this point in my practice, I'd be hard-pressed to find someone who is not a fellow and preferably more advanced astrologer to work with in ANY therapeutic, counseling, or coaching capacity, unless the other person were REALLY self-aware and able to negotiate very specific nuances. There is just no other language advanced enough. Astrology is a language that brings people from every other language together. No words even need to really be said between Astrologers: one look a chart, and we know exactly who they are.
Being a psychic, seer, "shaman," witch, vampire, or prophet, could also permit one to be able to have conversations on this level. But the Astrologer part of it, well... sorry, we're the most valuable consultants on the planet. If a coach, therapist, counselor, doctor, etc, does not want to learn Astrology and focus on their modality, fine, but not having a Skywatcher on staff to evaluate and advise on client and patient charts, in today's world, in "holistic" practices, is immoral and probably malpractice.
I'm shaking my head over here.
Okay, time to record this. People these days like listening too. I'm over here always telling people about Radio Zero over at Intuitive Public Radio but haven't recorded a rant in a while. It's a bit time consuming, but in moments like this.... let's see if I can manage this.

And then I decided to actually record the rant. It clocks in at 55 minutes. I went way beyond my original intention of “merely” speaking in defense and protection of fellow Leo people. It appears that I have launched a full-spectrum Illumination on the entire Life Coach, Counselor, Psychotherapy, and Holistic Wellness Professional Community. All of this “release what has been suppressed inside of me” work I’ve been doing seems to be letting some interesting stuff out… and I’m laughing because I’ve only just begun. I mean, this is what I want to be doing with my life, right? Committed for life since I first watched Sailor Moon in Middle School :)
It’s possible that there are statements inside that I would re-phrase. But, I have been receiving “messages from the Universe” about if I let myself get caught on giving this rant “Masterwork Attention” then I’d be putting Myself, and your Feed, behind.
I fully expect this topic to come back up repeatedly in my Work, and I hope to facilitate a more simple and digestible understanding of this point, but for now, this hour is what is ready. Hopefully, others will engage with it and offer Me the opportuniti(es) to dialogue with others interested in promoting processes that support the nuances of well-being in O/our radically different constitutions.
