Leo
July 23 to August 22
The warm-hearted leader who shines on purpose.
Understanding Leo
Leo is the fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, and like the Sun it gives heat generously. Leos lead with the heart, drawn to creativity, play and the joy of being fully themselves. There is a natural magnetism here, but underneath the confidence is a genuine desire to be loved for who they are.
The strength of Leo is warmth that lifts a whole room. The growth edge is knowing their worth without needing constant applause, and letting others have the spotlight without feeling dimmed.
