Mythology & Symbolism
Leo is connected to the Nemean Lion, a beast of Greek mythology defeated by Hercules, symbolizing strength, courage, and immortality. The lion represents bravery, but also nobility — a protector of their territory and their people.
Leo teaches us to lead with love and radiate from within.
Leo in Love & Friendship
Leo loves with grandeur — grand gestures, big hugs, big feelings. They’re passionate, loyal, and generous, but they need to feel cherished and admired. They’re incredibly giving when in love and love a partner who appreciates their heart.

The Sun is the center of our solar system, and Leo often feels like the center of their world — not in arrogance, but in essence. The Sun gives Leo their warmth, charisma, and sense of divine purpose. Their personality glows, and when they shine, they help others shine too.
Solar energy also makes Leo deeply vital — they bring energy into whatever they do, and they instinctively take care of their pride (aka, their loved ones).
