Ohh purple_scorp your image of this evening party looks to be a picture of wealth and success. Oh and definitely a lot of sophistication. I’ve never been to a party of this stature and probably never will. I just wouldn’t know how to talk with these stately people. It’s kind of like the titanic, where they separated the rich people from the poor!! I’m definitely on the lower level….as far as money goes! Who I am though, is not categorized by what I make.....ah but a little more money would definitely allow more flexibility in my life.
I think this symbol isn’t about wealth as far as money goes, it’s about sharing, generously letting go and giving with an open heart, without any expectations or strings attached.
How do we attract abundance in our lives? By reflecting the wealth you possess (abundance) and giving (expanding) of your Self. In other words, contributing to life!
That which is given is said to return a thousand-fold. All we need, is a firm foundation under our feet and an inner sense of purpose in our heart. If we try to plan it without purpose, it could result in us losing and expending a lot of our own energy.
I think what mooncat2 said, in Leo 10, relates so well with this symbol too.

A lovely symbol to pause and reflect on in these next days as we await the rising sun of the New Year. What new creative ideas will sparkle in the morning light........how will we nurture this shining potential so it will flower in it's full beauty.
I'm reminded of the Yoga sequence 'Salute to the Sun'.................maybe to take a moment to recognise and pay homage to all we've achieved in this last year.
Tonight, many of us will bring in the new year with friends and family. In many parts of the world, someone has planned and graciously given their home as a place of celebrating the new. And as we join together, we may find links and patterns and clues that could lead and point the way to the secret of our success in 2007!!! Hmm, each of us turning this event around for our own benefit??
But, before we can move ahead, we need to let go emotionally, mentally,
and even physically, from things in our lives that no longer serve a purpose. It's a time of integrating our past with the present, for the potential of our future.
Thanks mooncat2, reflecting and letting go makes us feel so much lighter. Ohh and my son’s symbol for his Sun sign is Leo 15. I’ll be very interested in your views and others on this.
Happy New Year!
