The Sun Enters Leo

I am Leo, hear me roar! When the Sun, which gives us life and is necessary for our vitality is in Leo, the sign it rules, we discover our strengths, our creative abilities and our playful joys. This fifth sign of the zodiac is Fixed Fire. That means its’ element is Fire and being fixed, it stores, guards and uses its’ resources whenever inspired. The Sun is in its’ home territory for one month, encouraging creative self-expression, declarations of romantic feelings, and/or exploration of artistic talent. Be daring or be playful!

The Sun is technically the star at the center of our solar system, but is often referred to as a planet. Wherever the Sun is at birth shows your vital life force and where you can shine. You can see why Leos often like being the center of attention. They have pride and want to be noticed, appreciated and applauded for their talents and gifts. Drama and flamboyance are not out of the realm of personal expression for Leos. Many entertainers and actors are either born under this outgoing Sun sign or have their Moon or rising sign in Leo. I have found in studying the charts of notable personalities that Leo often dominates the midheaven of their birth chart, the epitome of career recognition.

If you are lucky enough to be within the personal orb of a Leo, that is loved by a Lion… they will lavish their gifts of love and affection on you, providing you with an abundance of entertainment and enjoyment. However, when their egos are in charge, Leos can be a bit insufferable at times. Their roar means to step back! During this month, you’ll notice big entrances and exits and other attention-grabbing scenarios in the media and on the stage. Enjoy the fun while it lasts!
