Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is ruled by the radiant sun. From July 23rd to August 22nd, these vibrant individuals infuse the world with boundless energy, unwavering confidence, and unstoppable drive to achieve their goals. Far beyond their courageous nature, Leos illuminate our lives with their ambition, generosity, and fierce determination, making them not only natural leaders but also loyal friends and inspiring forces of nature. Join me as we delve into the remarkable traits that make Leos the true lions of the zodiac.
The Lion Led by The Sun
With dates in July and August, it’s no secret that Leo season is HOT! What brings this heat? None other than the Sun. Amidst these sweltering months, we experience the bliss that is Leo season. Let’s dub “Leo Season” as “Hot Girl Summer”—who’s with me?
In Greek mythology, the Sun is personified by Helios, the god who drives his chariot across the sky each day. Just like Helios, Leos light up our lives with their radiant presence and unyielding strength. Remember Hercules’ Nemean Lion? Only a hero could take down that beast. Similarly, it takes someone extraordinary to match a Leo’s boldness and bravery.
The Traits and Characteristics of the Fierce Lion

Leos are driven by a magnetic charisma and a fierce passion for life. Their generosity and warmth make them natural leaders, radiating confidence and vitality wherever they go.
Ruled by the Sun, the center of our solar system, Leos embody brilliance and power, illuminating everything in their orbit. Their true strength lies in their unwavering self-belief and their ability to inspire and uplift others. With a heart as bold as a lion’s, Leos pursue their ambitions with unparalleled determination, achieving greatness and leaving a lasting impact on everyone they meet.
The word “Leo” is Latin for “Lion,” and the current astrological lineup is perfect for rituals around self-confidence, boosting creativity, inspiring new ideas, strengthening leadership skills, manifesting dreams, or harnessing solar energy.
Incorporate sunlight, gold/orange/yellow/red candles, affirmations, creativity, and gratitude into your rituals this season. Additionally, these crystals align perfectly with the Leo vibe:
- Citrine
- Tiger’s Eye
- Carnelian
- Sunstone
- Labradorite
