In astrology, Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac. It is a fixed sign and a fire sign ruled by the Sun.

Its symbol is the Lion and the constellation Leo, which is associated with the Nemean lion. This was a beast with an impenetrable hide that Hercules defeated as his first mythical labor.

The sun enters Leo each year around July 21-23 and leaves on August 21-23 when the Sun enters Virgo. The new moon is in Leo in July or August while the Sun is in Leo and the Full Moon occurs in Leo in July or February while the Sun is in Aquarius.

Those born when the sun is in Leo are said to be bold, charismatic, noble, friendly and creative while also being prone to excessive pride and vanity and the need for external validation.
