Leo אריה

The sacred meaning of the Lion, the month of Av.

Hebrew month: Av (אב)
Sign: Leo · אריה · the Lion
Tribe: Shimon (שמעון)
Letter: Tet · ט
Sense: Hearing (שמיעה)
Season: Summer

The month that turns from mourning to consolation; the lion that is both fierce and noble. An Av soul has strength and dignity and the capacity to listen deeply (the sense of hearing); the letter Tet hints at the hidden good (tov) within. The inner work this invites: transforming destruction into rebuilding, truly hearing others, and uncovering concealed good.

The tribe of Shimon carries listening, "shema", zeal that can be refined.

How to hold this: in Torah thought a mazal is a root and a calling, never a fixed fate. The stars incline, they never compel; through prayer and inner return a person rises above any sign. This is self-knowledge and inner work, not prediction.
