From July 23rd until August 23rd the sun is in the astrological sign of Leo. Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and the second fire sign among the three fire signs (which are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, all in that order). Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun isn’t a planet (by scientist standards) but a star. Even so, in astrology, in the simplest terms, the Sun is a luminary (along with the Moon) but treated like a planet. Regardless the Sun and Leo is unique in that they shine bright and illuminate those around them.
Leo is a fire sign and its element is fire. Leo is of the Fixed quality and rules over the Fifth House. The fifth house is the house of sex, creativity, love, children, romance, casual relationships, and individual expression. The fifth house is your adult child self, that follows you throughout your life from childhood onward.
Leo’s symbol is the lion and represents the nature of a Leo. The Lion is the king of the jungle. So it represents royalty, a state of elevated position. Not everyone can be a king or queen for you are born into it and it is chosen for you. This doesn’t bother Leo because they know they are special and important. Unlike the other zodiac signs self confidence and Leo seems to be natural and a part of their DNA, their bloodline and their heritage. Being self confident and self assured seems to be their God given right.

The Leo native is regal and has an appealing air of majestic and grand demeanor. A lion is pretty much a big cat which can be seen as intimidating. This is much like a Leo. A lion is also proud and slow moving with a sense of elegance and class. A lion like a Leo is protective of its cubs and can strike out with its sharp claws just as readily as it can scratch an itch. Leos' are oftentimes more loyal and kind then vicious. Leo, as the other fire signs share a lot of characteristics with each other, such as vitality, passion, confidence, energy, and initiative.
Even so, Leo is unique in the sense that they are very optimistic and are filled with a ball of energy. So they are pretty much a ball of sunshine. Leo with its adult child like optimistic is also very generous and spare no expenses.

Whether they shower you with gifts, money, time or support and love, Leos are truly giving. They will greet you with open arms and ears and an open heart. They are great friends and lovers and oftentimes give great advice. Leos are dramatic, extra AF, and over the top especially in love. They hold people in high regard and hate to be let down and taken advantage of. A Leo Lion takes relationships seriously so they are loyal and devoted. They expect the best so they want the best. As the lion or king/nobility Leos have a taste for the expensive, flamboyant, and extravagant lifestyle that rivals Venus ruled natives, Libra and Taurus.
Even so, with a craving and exasperation of the extravagant and excess can expose some fatal flaws within the Leo. Vain, arrogant, and attention seeking showoffs' are common accusations against Leos. And even if they don’t want to believe it, there is some truth to this. Leo is a sign whose natural confidence and pride that can easily sour and turn into a smug superiority complex. They assume everyone loves them, wants to be around them and wants to be like them.
If people slight them in any way or refuse to outwardly show they’re allegiance, aka bow at their feet and worship team Leo; a Leo will assume that these people are jealous of them and are automatic haters, before they are willing to accept that some people are just not that impressed with them.
There seems to be a code in a Leo's ego that can’t seem to fully accept or acknowledge that not everyone will like them and that they can’t always be the center of the universe. When a Leo realize that they are not the center of the world, this illusion can be busted. A Leo can react in many ways.
One way is by being over the top attention seeking and show offy to mask their insecurity.
One common tactic for an insecure or bruised ego Leo is fishing for attention and compliments, the logic being if I give a compliment, then I can get one. Another common tactic for an insecure or bruised ego Leo is to get (force) someone to like them. Leo are low-key people pleasers'. This is similar to Libra needs for people to like them, but for different reasons.

Libra do it because they have a strong need to socialize, intellectualize, entertain and create pleasurable experiences for people while Leo do it out of sheer vanity and wanting people to admire, respect, and sometimes worship them. Immature Leos; will do everything it takes to be noticed and liked which includes handing out compliments so freely. This tactic is for insecure Leos' not evolved ones. Leos that are fully evolve know that you can’t make people like or respect you, it must come naturally.
Just as naturally as they are confident Leos' can be just as insecure too. Leos though proud, confident on the surface are also very sensitive too and are the most sensitive among the Fire Signs. Think of them like children, confident and ready to take on the world. Even so, one major diss or dose of reality and that child can become negative, withdrawn and heart-broken. It doesn’t help that Leo can be very optimistic. Optimism is a good thing, but blind optimism can lead to a lot of disappointment and disillusionment. When a Leo is slighted they will feel this on an ego and soul level.
Leo can also be accused of being selfish and self centered. Though in Leo’s defense and as 1/3 of the fire signs; this is an accusation can easily be thrown out at Aries and Sagittarius (especially Aries). Leos' like the other fire signs have a passionate expressive nature and high sense of individuality that can easily get carried them away and often leave people behind.
One last thing to mention is that as a fixed Fire sign, Leos can be very stubborn and domineering. Fixed signs (Leo, Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius) are known for their stubbornness which can give way to domineering and controlling behavior, if their don’t get their way. It’s very much my way or the highway plebeian, according to Leo.
Like the other Fixed signs apologizing and admitting wrong is not something they do often. It is nearly impossible for a Leo to apologize and Leos' are definitely the "agree to disagree" types.
Regardless Leos' is one of the GENUINELY nicest, kindest, and generous signs of the zodiac. Leos' actually like people and like being around them. If a Leo doesn't like you, it is probably because you are not a likable or nice person. Leos' have big hearts, are super open, loving, creative and inspiring.
Leos' are extremely pleasant, fun and optimistic to be around. They lighten up a room with their infectious laughter, optimistic spirit, and fashionable sense of style and beauty. A taken for granted strength that a Leo possesses is their strength of character and integrity. This makes Leo one of the few signs that has the ability to choose happiness over anger, sadness or fear. If you are in a funk, spend 10 minutes with a Leo, and you will be crying with laughter. Leos' don't like to be the center of attention just for themselves. Leos' like the spotlight because they know how ugly, hard, and unfair life can be, so a few moments of light is all someone may need to feel reminded of life's light and be renewed.

Like the Sun, sometimes it can shine too much and get too hot. Other times its not around as much as you need it. But on that beautiful day when the breeze and the sun rays are just right, is the best a Leo can be. Leos are the true balls of sunshine of the zodiac.
So Happy Leo Season!!! Happy Birthday to ALL THE LEOS’ OF THE WORLD, THIS IS YOUR ENERGY AND YOUR TIME!!! Thank You
