From July 22 to August 22, the zodiac sign of Leo represents the zenith of summer’s warmth, the canicular period commonly referred to as the dog days. The intense heat from the sun’s rays causes dryness and burns in vegetation, while fruits, having matured under high temperatures, are nearing their harvest. This time marks nature’s peak in splendour and magnificence.
Individuals born under the astrological sign of Leo demonstrate a heightened sense of individualism and self-awareness, reflecting the central role of the sun and the dominant power of the summer solstice. In contrast to the impulsive and explosive energy associated with Aries’ cardinal fire, Leo’s fixed fire signifies a controlled and intentional use of energy governed by the individual’s will. Their exceptional self-assurance and inherent capabilities exemplify their potential for success rooted in their intrinsic nature.
