Today I thought that I'd look at some Astrological blending. I have quite a few birthdays coming up so it seemed like a good idea to me to come up with one or two signature blends for the Leos in my life.
Scott Cunningham in The Complete Book of Incense, Oils and Brews, classifies the following oils under Leo: Benzoin, Cinnamon, Frankincense, Juniper, Nutmeg, Orange, Rosemary and Sandalwood while Patricia Davis in Astrological Aromatherapy only lists Jasmine as the signature oil for Leo.
I thought that I'd create both a Male and Female Signature Blend for Leo and Jasmine seems a good choice to me to start both blends off. Jasmine is so often called the King of Oils and on a subtle level it is considered to unite and harmonize opposites thereby promoting wholeness. An oil often used to warm and open the heart, it is also thought to balance feminine and masculine energies. So definitely appropriate for both blends. As Sandalwood has traditionally been used a lot in men's fragrances I decided to add it to just the Leo Lord blend and to lighten this a bit I decided to add Juniper. For the Leo Lady blend I've added Orange, which dispels negative and Rosemary, which has the theme of loyalty and love.
Lord Leo
Jasmine - 1 drop
Juniper - 4 drops
Sandalwood - 8 drops
Lady Leo
Jasmine - 1 drop
Orange - 10 drops
Rosemary - 5 drops
Now to let it sit for a few days and see what it smells like. It's starting off quite nicely anyway.
A couple of quotes from famous Leos:
"Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold."
-- Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, author
"Love yourself first and everythiPublish Postng else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."

"Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves."
