Leo is the fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolized by the lion, spanning July 23 – August 22. Fire signs of the fixed quality, like Leo, are known for being warm, proud and impossible to overlook.
Strengths: generosity, charisma, loyalty that roars.
Watch out for: pride, drama, needing applause for the quiet work too.
As a fixed fire sign, Leo expresses the element in a distinct way; no two fire signs are alike, and your moon and ascendant shade the picture further.
Leo loves loudly: attention, affection, celebration. The partner who genuinely admires them gets devotion in return; indifference is the only unforgivable sin.
Born for the stage, whatever the stage is: leadership, entertainment, brand-building, teaching. Recognition fuels output.
Natural matches: Aries and Sagittarius feed the fire; Aquarius is the opposite that keeps Leo honest.
Growth pairings: Taurus and Scorpio lock horns with the lion's will. Difficult is not doomed: in synastry, an astrologer compares two full charts, and 'incompatible' sun signs are often carried by strong moon or Venus connections.
Leo runs July 23 – August 22. On boundary days the exact year and birth time decide; an astrologer can confirm it from your birth data.
Classically: Aries and Sagittarius feed the fire. But real compatibility is read from two complete birth charts, not sun signs alone.
