The Lunar eclipse got me thinking about the Sun & it's powerful significance, symbology & effect on us all,
Heres a couple of articles I found very appropriate;

Search For Meaning, Total Lunar Eclipse http://www.manspurpose.com/esoteric-astrology/sag-2012-total-lunar-eclipse/#more-2372

Lion Power Animal, Symbol of Brotherhood, Feminine Energy, PART II http://www.shamanicjourney.com/article/6203/lion_power_animal_symbol_of_brotherhood_feminine_energy_part_ii

The key to the balance between self and others can be discovered in some of the well known symbols associated with the lion. First off they are the astrological animal related to the sign of Leo, which rules the heart. Leo is ruled by the Sun - another symbol of Lion. At the same time the sun blesses us with life giving warmth and light, the warmth of an open heart gives comfort to all who are touched by it. Coeur is the French word for heart, the root word for courage. Courage comes from the heart and from a deep sense of personal authority.

When we have the courage to be true to ourselves, we will be empowered to act and live in ways true to our own soul - the true meaning of self esteem, without any illusion. Not wearing a mask and having respect for oneself as well as others, such as not comparing oneself to others and lowering their worth in order to increase one's own value. Those who come from the heart and are able to relate well to others are capable of leadership, achievement as well as the type of success that inspires other to accomplish things.

Lion teaches us the magic of group energy and interaction, as well as the secrets of silence and patience. We must study ourselves deeply to know and understand ourselves - our strengths and weaknesses, and to wait for the right moment to act and take full advantage of a given situation. Learn the correct way to use power from lion. Always be centred and peaceful, but if need be, don’t be afraid to fight for the things you are interested in.

Lion presents lessons to be learned in dealing with groups and your role within those groups - work with others cooperatively. You have the ability to be a great leader but get a grip on that jealousy. Lion in your life means avoiding confrontations and being stealthy. Take the easy way to meet your goals - do not confront them head on. Trust your feminine energies – creativity, intuition and imagination. But don’t be afraid to roar if threatened.

Wow, I really like that, thank you. If I can I'd like to be outside watching in the morning just before sunrise as the super-sized lunar eclipse is supposed to be visible here.

Dec. 2, 2011: Waking up before sunrise can be tough to do, especially on a weekend. On Saturday, Dec. 10th, you might be glad you did. A total eclipse of the Moon will be visible in the early morning skies of western Northern America.

The action begins around 4:45 am Pacific Standard Time when the red shadow of Earth first falls across the lunar disk. By 6:05 am Pacific Time, the Moon will be fully engulfed in red light. This event—the last total lunar eclipse until 2014—is visible from the Pacific side of North America, across the entire Pacific Ocean to Asia and Eastern Europe: global visibility map.


As for the term super-sized:

Quote:
 
Not only will the Moon be beautifully red, it will also be inflated by the Moon illusion. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. In fact, a low Moon is no wider than any other Moon (cameras prove it) but the human brain insists otherwise. To observers in the western USA, therefore, the eclipse will appear super-sized.

I didn't even realize there's going to be a lunar eclipse in the morning. I'm too far east to get a good view of it, but the symbolism is interesting.
