Jul 23 - Aug 22
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, covering July 23 to August 22. Ruled by the Sun and represented by the Lion, Leo is a fire sign known for confidence, generosity, and a natural sense of leadership. People born under Leo are warm, expressive, and drawn to the spotlight.
Warm, expressive, born to shine
A Leo man carries himself with quiet confidence and genuine warmth. He loves being respected and recognized, but he gives just as much in return — generosity is core to who he is. In love he's affectionate, romantic, and proud of his partner. Wound his pride and you'll see the lion roar; treat him with respect and he'll be loyal for life.
A Leo woman is magnetic, generous, and unapologetically herself. She doesn't shrink — she takes up space and lights up rooms. In love she wants a partner who admires her without trying to dim her. She gives extravagantly to people she cares about, and expects loyalty in return. Her vulnerability is hidden behind the confidence; only those close to her see it.
Leo loves big and proud. They want a partner who appreciates them publicly and privately, who doesn't take their warmth for granted. Generosity is their love language — they spoil the people they love. The shadow: their need to be seen can tip into needing constant validation, and criticism of their performance feels like a personal attack.
Leo thrives in roles that involve visibility, leadership, and creative expression — entertainment, public speaking, executive leadership, sales, the arts. They earn well but spend generously, especially on luxury and on people they love. They struggle in roles where their work goes unnoticed or where they're not allowed to put their stamp on things.
