Overview
Leo is the zodiac's radiant sovereign — creative, generous, and magnetically compelling. Ruled by the Sun itself, Leo doesn't just seek the spotlight — Leo IS the spotlight. This is the sign that reminds us all of our own magnificence by shining so fearlessly.
Fire Element
As the Fixed Fire sign, Leo sustains creative energy over time. Where Aries sparks and Sagittarius explores, Leo maintains the eternal flame. This is sustained passion, enduring creativity, and unwavering warmth.
Ruling Planet: Sun ☉
The Sun gives Leo its vitality, confidence, and central importance. Just as all planets orbit the Sun, Leo naturally becomes the center of any group. This isn't ego — it's gravitational pull. The Sun also gives Leo its generous warmth: it shines on everyone equally.
