Leo (
♌) is the fifth astrological sign of the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Leo. It spans the Zodiac between the 120th and 149th degree of celestial longitude. In astrology, Leo is considered to be a "masculine", positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered a fire sign and is one of four fixed signs[2] ruled by the Sun.
In the Tropical zodiac, the sun transits this area of the zodiac between July 22 to August 22 each year. In Sidereal astrology, the sun currently transits the constellation of Leo from August 16th to September 15th (approximately).
Mythology
Some common characteristics that are associated with leo are generosity, warmth, brightness, and self-motivation[3] . Leos are sometimes known as the king of the jungle and tend to be dignified and strong.[4]
Compatibilities
Generally the qualities of Leo are considered to be compatible with those of the other fire signs: Aries and Sagittarius and to a lesser extent with the air signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. However, compatibility based on sun-sign alone is considered to be only a very general guideline.
