What personal transformations do you notice when external events prompt a shift in your long-standing self-expression and leadership approach?

As Pholus transits through Sagittarius, forming a trine with your natal Ascendant in Leo, you may feel the winds of change gently pushing you toward personal growth and transformation. This centaur planet is known for its association with turning points arising from small causes with big effects. It often heralds a time in your life where the lid is lifted on bottled-up energies. With Sagittarius's influence, these changes might come through new knowledge, travel, or an expansion of your philosophical outlook.

With Pholus's touch on your Ascendant, the mask you show to the world, and the Leo energy that shines through it, you may notice your self-expression evolving. In typical Leo fashion, you've likely been comfortable in leadership roles, showing a certain flamboyance and confidence to the world. But now, with the trine's harmonious energy, you might find your typical methods are shifting. You could be questioning whether your usual approach still resonates with who you are becoming.

Your leadership style, for example, may shift from being purely performance-based to incorporating a more sagacious, teaching-oriented method. You might find yourself more inclined to lead by inspiring others with your vision and wisdom, rather than just charismatic authority. This could be a result of a growing desire to connect with others on a more philosophical or ethical level, wanting to impart knowledge and broaden horizons, much like Sagittarius the Archer aims for distant targets.

This personal transformation can feel like a natural progression, rather than a jarring metamorphosis. External events, which once would have prompted you to take center stage, now might see you adopting a more collaborative approach. You're learning the value of collective wisdom, and this is changing how you interact with the world. Through this transit, you are cultivating a more expansive view of leadership-one that is inclusive and encourages growth, both in yourself and in others.

This period is a significant time in your life, where the tiniest shifts in perception can lead to meaningful changes in how you express your core self. The trine aspect ensures that this process unfolds smoothly, enabling you to embrace these changes with optimism and faith in the future. Keep in mind that every person you meet can be a teacher, in the same way that you may become a guide to others. Your heart and mind are opening, and this can only amplify the natural warmth and generosity that is inherent in your Leo Ascendant.
