Zosma
Zosma
Zosma, Delta Leonis at the lion's hindquarters near 11 degrees of Virgo, sits where the lion is most exposed. Robson ties it to fear, egotism, and melancholy, but also to benefit through others and an alert, if anxious, mind. Brady reads it through the victim-and-savior theme, the one who feels the wound of the group. Worked with awareness it gives compassion and usefulness; unworked it sinks into fearfulness.
