Keywords: radiant, magnanimous, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, open, regal, proud, enduring, self-centered, commanding, personal.

Leo is ruled by the Sun, and through the Sun, we derive our life purpose. This also means that while the Sun is in Leo (as it is now), it's in its power. The Sun directs us and is "the boss" of our chart, and, like its ruler, Leo is a proud leader. Leo's symbol is the lion, and the lion symbolizes sovereignty, rulership, and courage.

Leo's element is FIRE, and Fire signs are spontaneous, reactive, and assertive. We have pride, passion, courage, creativity, and impulse with Fire.

Leo's mode is FIXED, and Fixed signs are loyal, steadfast, and stubborn. They tend to resist change and possess excellent follow-through. As a Fixed Fire sign, Leo is passionately loyal.

The metal associated with Leo is gold, which symbolizes purity, perfection, vitality, and prosperity.

Leo is a masculine, positively-charged, yang, or outgoing sign. It's considered a barren and dry sign for planting. Its main tree is the palm tree.

The body parts or anatomy associated with Leo are the heart, spine, back, and eyes. Regarding health, Leo is associated with the cell and the central life force. Health issues include heart problems, spine disorders, eye diseases (the Sun), and even sunstroke.

The Sun is dignified in the sign of Leo. Leo's day of the week is Sunday.

Where you find Leo in a chart is where one feels most qualified to take the lead. It's where one takes pride and wants to shine, outdo, excel, and stand out.
