Sign 5 of 12
Leo
Leo is fixed fire, the height of summer. It is warm, proud and generous, wants to make something that is seen, and gives a lot of light to the people around it.
Leo pairs the Fire element with the Fixed mode. In the tropical zodiac the Sun passes through it from 23 July to 22 August.
In the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic astrology the same 30° sit about 24° further on, so the Sun is there from about 17 August to 16 September.
