Leo

Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. The combination produces someone whose self-expression is central to who they are — Leo wants to be SEEN, not from vanity but because being seen is how Leo confirms their existence. Strong Leo placements tend to be warm, generous, theatrical in good and bad ways, and surprisingly loyal. They take play seriously. The shadow side is pride — Leo can be unable to apologize, unable to be small, unable to accept that the room sometimes belongs to someone else. Leo rules the heart and spine in body astrology and runs from approximately July 23 to August 22 — the height of summer.
