The picture for the month of Leo discloses itself intuitively to the observer, but some words might help for a better understanding.
The wisdom teachings tell us that the sun we see is just the physical appearance of the soul of the sun, called the heart of the sun. And this one is hiding the central spiritual sun. Our sun is an inlet gate for the higher planes. In us the physical heart corresponds to the physical sun. It is the seat of the pulsating principle of life, the sound of which is also called the roar of the lion. So you see in the picture the radiating lion in the center of the lotus.
When we listen to the sound of pulsation and fall into its rhythm, the mind comes to rest and we slowly get uplifted out of personality to unite with the ajna center on the forehead, the heart of the sun. This is depicted as a huge flower like a sunflower with a pulsating heart in the center. The spiritual sun corresponds to our head centre, the sahasrara, where the spark of the eternal light rests in the center – the jewel in the lotus. This is represented as a sun globe opening its petals into space.
In the background you see the window of a cathedral. I constructed it from out of three cathedral windows and transformed the colours into fiery golden yellow. It represents the inner subjective side, the holy space within us, which opens up and allows the fusion of the different planes of light to happen.
