Leo (♌︎) (Greek: Λέων, Leōn), Latin for "lion," is the fifth sign of the zodiac. It corresponds to the constellation Leo. Leo is associated with fire, accompanied by Aries and Sagittarius, and its modality is fixed. This sign is ruled by the Sun.

The constellation Leo is associated with the mythological Nemean lion. The lion is a very important and prominent symbol in Greek mythology. Its colors are gold, yellow, and orange.

The ruling Archangel of the Zodiac over Leo is Verchiel and the ruling Archdemon is Serattiel.

The sign spans the 120th to 150th degree of celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area on average between July 24 and August 23 each year. Under the sidereal zodiac, the Sun currently transits this area from approximately August 16 to September 15.

Characteristics

Leos have a tendency to be passionate, generous, and cheerful. However, they can also be arrogant, stubborn, and inflexible. People born under the sign of Leo are natural leaders with a dramatic, dynamic personality.

Lions are brave and fearless, just like many Leos. Their way of carrying themselves seems to demand respect and they have no problem shutting down anyone who is disrespectful toward them.
