Lion, the king of the jungle has sprawled over you. Right away it resides in your mind and in your body; in your thoughts, speech, mannerism, conduct and the way you respond to both adversity and opportunity. How the Lion got into you? It is simple; if you are born during the Leonid Meteor Showers, the Lion creeps into your system. In this blog post I explain about the Leonid Meteor Showers in general, how you got the Lion in you and names of personalities who are impacted like you.
1. Leonid Meteor Showers
You have heard about meteor showers or shooting stars or falling stars, or simply meteors. There are millions of these shooting stars seen throughout the year. When you look at the night sky generally after mid-night you will observe streaks of light flicking away in the sky for a second or two. What you see is not a physical matter, because most of these meteors are so small to be seen from the earth, but the atmospheric reaction when these fast moving meteors hit at the earth’s atmosphere resulting in a friction between the air molecules and the surface of the meteor. So you see the burning of the gaseous particles in glowing colour. You can read about Meteors, in my earlier blog “Mentally Retarded children: Relief from Geminids Meteor Shower”.
Most of the showers are named after the constellation they originate from; we call this as “radiant”. Leonids takes its names from Leo constellation, to which we can trace back its origin or radiant. Leonid Meteor Showers which we call “Leonids” for easy reference is divided into Major and Minor Showers. The Major one occurs during November whereas Five Minor ones occur during the period mid- January till end- April. In the case of Major Leonids we take the entire duration as having influence over you. In the case of Minor Leonids we consider only the peak dates as having impact on you.
2. Major Leonids
Major Leonids begin on November 14 and last till November 20. During this time the shooting stars move fast and stealthily, like a typical Lion. Striking at about 50 miles per hour speed these are more than bazooka fire. On average 100 meteors could be seen within an hour. This level rises to about 5000 meteors per hour when the Earth comes into the path of the comet 55P / Temple Tuttle which flies past the Sun in an orbit of 33 years. We had a great sighting in the years 1965&1966 thereafter 33 years later in 1998 & 1999. Incidentally the Major Leonids is connected with the Comet 55P / Temple Tuttle whose debris is transformed into the shooting stars. The Radiant of the Major Leonids is traced back to the space between two brilliant stars of the Leo constellation. These are: Algeiba & Al-dhafera. The star Algeiba is from the Arabic name Al- Jabba (the Mane); it is a bright double star giving cosmic rays of orange and greenish yellow. It is located just below the star Al-Dhafera. The latter is from the Arabic name “Al-Thafera” (back of the Ear). This star, though less brilliant than Algeiba gives a bright hue of Yellow and white.
If you are born during November 14 to 20, you are really a Big Lion; brave in thoughts and in conduct; you will skim the social standards and lead by example; have the tenacity to weather any crisis to achieve your goal; go forward with inert wisdom; go out of the way to help others; Show patience and persistence; Always on the top the situation, you have quality of command & control. If you are male Lion then you may suffer from sex deficiency, if you are female Lion then you have hyper-sex. Fate may not be kind towards you; there is a sense of tragedy. But long after you are gone the world will remember you as a great person. Celebrities who have birthdates during this period include Prince Charles, Erwin Rommel, Lisa Bonet, Laura Wilkinson, Linda Evans, Larry King, Calvin Klein and Bo Derek.
3. Minor Leonids
I am describing five minor Leonids only
3.1 Alpha Leonids
This Leonids peaks between 24 to 31 January. Striking at a speed of 20 miles per hour and about 10 meteors per hour, Alpha Leonids cannot be dismissed that easily. It is because Alpha Leonids has its origin or radiant in space where the great star Regulus is located. Regulus is on the front right leg groin and is the brightest star in the Leo constellation. Regulus is of 1.35 magnitudes with a magnificent Bluish-white colour; It is approximately 3.4 times size of the Sun, 137 times luminous than the Sun. It is a multiple star with three companions giving orange, red and white colours. Read my blog post “Anarchy without Monarchy” for details about the star Regulus.
If you are born between 24 to 31 January, you saunter slowly but with a pounce of the Lion’s right paw. None can keep up to you, when you are provoked; otherwise you are soft and lazy. Your roar is greater than your posture. You will always over-act or over re-act. Nobody puts you in right place, that could be your un-doing. Finally when the end comes all what you have done simply fades into history. You can lead nations and organizations; in the home front you are not too happy. You have always two choices: to do or not to do. There is no middle course for you. Right action takes you to top, wrongs steps shove you to loss and sometimes ignominy. Famous people who have birthdays during Alpha Leonids include Franklin D Roosevelt, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Cheney (ex VP), Robert Burns, Earnest Borgnine, Douglas MacArthur, Mozart, Arthur Rubenstein, Andrew Keegan, John Forsythe and Justin Timberlake.
3.2 Delta Leonids
This Meteor showers peaks on February 22. The speed of the meteor is 24 miles per hour but the number of meteors recorded is less than 5 per hour. It is indeed a muted Lion. Medium active Delta Leonids has its radiant to the star Zosma. The word Zosma is Persian meaning “Girdle”. It is also called as “Dhur” from the Arabic “Al-Thahr” “ on the Back”. Actually the star is located on the rump close to the tail of the Lion. A triple star of 2.6 magnitude, it gives out pale yellow, blue and violet cosmic colours.
If you are born on Feb 22 you will have a powerful and ambitious mind; authoritative in dealing; someone who has iron fist covered by velvet glove. You are a creator be in fine arts or in politics. Your Lion is always awake but does not roar. Stickler for punctuality and focussed on detail you achieve or make others achieve. Leading by sincerity, you will make the world proud of you. But there is a minus point; finance is always wanting. Famous people born on February 22 include George Washington, Rembrandt and Edward Kennedy.
3.3 Sigma Leonids
Though considered active Sigma Leonids has a striking speed less than 20 miles and about 2 to 3 meteors recorded per hour. Peak date is March 25. Its radiant is traced to the Star Shishi-mai, named in Japanese meaning “Lion dance”. A blue – white giant of 4.0 magnitude, the star is located on the knee of the hind right leg of the Lion.
If you are born on this date you are best in back-office manoeuvres rather than going to the front office in marketing etc. More of an operational men you will have equal measure of fame and blame. In good times you are up and in bad times you are down than the Johnsons. But you are a lovable character, seen in many parties and dinners. You can propose a toast and may be offer after dinner speech. Your speaking style is unique. Entertainment industry is the number one field for you. You can also select utilities and services. Most chaotic event will be either your marriage or your divorce. Famous people who had this birth day include George Harrison and Tom Courtney.
3.4 Beta Leonids
Active meteor showers, Beta Leonids peak on 19 to 21 March. Its speed is less than 20 miles per hour but you can see more than 4 meteors per hor. Its radiant is traced to the star Denebola, 2nd brightest in the Leo constellation. Giving a cosmic light of blue to white rays this 2.1 magnitude star is located in the tail’s flourish of the Lion. Its Arabic name Al-Denab Al-Asad ( tail of the Lion), gives equal prominence to tail and the head.
If you are born on dates 19, 20 & 21 of March, you are personification of power & glory. You have the Midas touch. Everywhere you go you are welcome; dubbed indispensable; fixer of any issues. “Hey where is the guy, let him handle it” or “ I just can’t do without him” are credentials penned after you. You are seen all over, in clubs with beautiful women, in parks with a bat or ball. Physically fit and mentally alert you are the only Lion that goes through the life on an easy pace. You write history or someone writes about you. Famous people whose birthdays fall in these dates include Ursula Andres, Glen Close, B F Skinner, Nick Wheeler, Ronaldinho, and Timothy Dalton.
3.5 Rho Leonids
This meteor is most irregular in appearance. No concrete sightings or data available but peaks on 14 & 15 March. Its radiant is traced to the star known as “Shir”. It is a Persian word meaning Lion. A 3.8 magnitude blue-white supergiant it is located in the front downside of the Lion.
If you are born on 14 or 15 March, you have a tendency to be an eccentric. Super intelligent but at the same time erratic you can make it or break it. Career and regular work may not appeal to you; you have to find your own song and the tune for the song as well; if you follow others you are finished; but if you try to lead then there will be calamity. Best is to mind your business and do something that pleases you. You should put aside conflicting opposites such as tradition versus modernity and carve your own niche in the market. Basically, you must have your own path. For all these roubles there is small mercy. Your marriage is a blessing. Famous people who had similar birthdays include Michael Caine, Albert Einstein, Andrew Jackson and Eva Longoria.
