«Growing, always growing, gives me energy»
Lelehe'el accompanies the period from 15 to 20 April and belongs to the Seraphim. Its motto is «Growing, always growing, gives me energy». In this symbolic portrait, a movement of expansion dominates: learning, reaching a goal, extending what you do and immediately seeking another possibility.
The image is of a flame seeking fuel. You do not always have a single direction: the desire to grow may come before choosing the field in which to do so. When it finds a form, this drive brings courage, optimism and a confidence that can engage the people close to you too.
You can express it in caring work, through presence and support, or on stage, where it becomes the ability to carry an audience with you. But a single activity may feel too narrow. Curiosity, organisation, strategy, practicality and an instinct for the desires of your time seek more than one outlet. A profession rich in varied tasks or a few well-supported projects can offer more space than an unchanging role.
Leonardo da Vinci represents expansion in knowledge and the discovery of reality's forms. Adolf Hitler shows its criminal reverse: the will to conquer turned into domination and destruction. In this portrait, the strength of the movement does not determine its worth. What counts is the direction chosen, the responsibilities and what happens to the people involved.
Lucrezia Borgia and Napoleon III evoke climbing hierarchies and the need to leave a mark. Ardito Desio, who led the Italian K2 expedition, represents a project directed towards a summit; Wilbur Wright, together with his brother Orville, the overcoming of a limit through powered flight. Charlie Chaplin brings the winning of audiences on an international scale.
The need to be seen can become very demanding. You take yourself seriously, may smile at other people's faults and find a joke aimed at you hard to bear. A criticism risks feeling like a denial of everything you are trying to build. Even the needs of those close to you can slip into the background while your attention is already on the next stage.
In relationships you seek movement and possibilities for growing together. The bond between Chaplin and Oona O'Neill evokes, in this portrait, a season of life that continues to renew itself beyond a career. Dedication to work can coexist with a living relationship if both people find room to change. The other person must not, however, become a permanent audience or give up their own needs to support your drive.
When every initiative is blocked, frustration can become intense. You may lose confidence, feel drained and bring tension into relationships. What needs recognising is the distance between the possibilities you want to express and the space you can actually give them. If this tension continues, stress can weigh on sleep, mood and everyday wellbeing.
There is also a less obvious risk: allowing yourself to be used by someone who offers you a chance to stand out. In order to act and receive recognition, you may accept dependence, an authoritarian environment or conditions you would not normally choose. Success may seem more urgent than the freedom to decide how to reach it.
This is why a supporting role may even feel comfortable if it allows you to act, be valued and still have a summit ahead. The highest position, by contrast, may remove your direction or make limits to power hard to accept. Joseph Ratzinger evokes the rise to the top and the choice to step down; Hitler remains the example of destruction caused by unrestrained domination.
Lelehe'el's direction is to grow your possibilities without turning every desire into a right over others. Different projects require real time, resources and responsibilities. Continuing to learn, tolerating criticism and valuing what brings no applause allow you to seek new goals without losing touch with those who walk beside you.
