July 23 – August 22
Leo — The Sovereign
Generous, performative, radiantly alive — the heart as the center of gravity.
The Leo archetype
Leo is fixed fire ruled by the Sun — the only sign whose ruler is the actual center of the solar system. Leos are wired to shine, and they suffer when they hide. The work is learning that the spotlight is for warming the room, not for proving you exist.

Leo in love
Devoted, theatrical, and irreplaceable. A Leo in love is generous to the bone — but expects the same scale of devotion in return. Embarrassment in public is a wound that lingers.

Performance, leadership, branding, entertainment, hospitality, education — anything where personality is the product.
