Core traits
Bold energy with a pioneering heart.
Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by Sun. The Leo personality often shows up as initiative, depth, and a strong desire to express their unique nature. This sign is energized by what matters most to them.
A Leo tends to trust their instincts and move with conviction. Their energy can inspire those around them, especially when their natural strengths are given room to flourish. Under the surface is a sincere wish to live authentically and meet life on their own terms.
Like every Sun sign, Leo is only one part of a complete birth chart. The Moon, rising sign, and planetary placements add nuance to how this energy is expressed.
