Sitting in silence breathe in the sign of Leo and place it into your heart center. Allow the color of Gold, radiating like the sun to surround your entire body and fill you with courage, strength, and fire.  Recognize the power of yourself as an individual. A powerful Leo moon mantra for this meditation to remember is " My will is strong and my calling is to express and illuminate."  express that will with love.
