The exaltation of Leo

Meaning

The Hermetic judgement uses the phrase exaltation of Leo as a celestial designation within its account of nature’s changing conditions. Leonis means “of the Lion”; exaltation names elevation in this celestial wording. The supplied edition preserves this unusual wording rather than substituting a supposedly correct astronomical or astrological expression. The phrase shows that the author relates the work to a patterned cosmos, but its inclusion does not settle a calendar date or establish an observational rule. This record explains the designation without reconstructing the surrounding practical timing claim or validating the asserted effects.
