The Twelve Signs
Leo
the Lion
July 23 – August 22
The hearth fire everyone gathers around without being asked.
Leo carries high summer, when the Sun rules from its own sign and the light needs no argument. It is warm, generous, and theatrical in the old sense: life as something worth performing well. Its pride runs deep, but so does its loyalty, and it gives praise as freely as it hopes to receive it.
