Leo
Leo is the lion — warm, theatrical, and entirely aware that you are watching. Ruled by the Sun, the literal center of the solar system, Leo has a gravitational pull that is hard to fake and impossible to ignore. They are the performers, the leaders, the people who walk into a room and rearrange its energy. Their generosity is genuine and their need for recognition is non-negotiable. A Leo who is not being seen is a Leo who is planning something.
Why Leo?
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22) was identified with the Nemean lion killed by Hercules as the first of his twelve labors. The lion's skin was impervious to weapons, and Hercules wore it as armor for the rest of his life. Leo's position at the hottest part of summer connects the sign to the sun's peak strength.
