Archetype of Leo

July 23 - Aug 22

Leo is symbolized by the Lion. A large presence that holds a type of majesty in its essence. Whether leading a pride or leading a group, Leonian expression is often thought of as very capable of having a stage presence and a sense of assurance when serving as the guide. There’s a quiet confidence that comes with performance of any kind, and Leos naturally step into that role.

A fire sign, Leo represents spirit and has a way of channeling in-spirition. Ruled by the sun, Leos shine bright - doing well in the light even if they’re not always there voluntarily. Tapping into Leo energy means stepping into the light and embodying the confidence of your own essence and your own inner light. 

Leo is a fixed sign, meaning there can be a sense of waiting and observing before action. This waiting and observing makes Leo keen at holding the vision. 

Sometimes thought of as the “inner child” Leo energy is creative and enthusiastic drawing people in. Leo shows us that connection with our own inner spirit can awaken our creative side as we seek to express. Leo is the sun, channeling solar energy through its essence, resulting in a purity and authenticity in its radiance. 

**Note - sun sign placement is impacted by other placements in the chart. If Leo is your sun sign, your rising sign, and other planetary alignments will impact how this expresses in your chart.
