July 22 - August 22

Leo is governed by the Sun.

The gems of Leo are ruby and diamond.

Astral colors for Leo are red and green.

Companions for Leo people will usually be found first among Sagittarius, next among those born under Libra, or under Aries.

Leo is the heart of the Grand Man or Microcosm.

Leo a masculine, commanding, fixed, choleric, fiery, changeable, northern sign of the Zodiac, the middle point of the magnet of the Fire Triplicity. Leo governs the heart and blood of life, the higher attributes being belief and self-control. The Sun enters the sign of Leo on or about the 22d of July each year, and departs from the sign on or about the 22d of August.

It takes six days for the Sun to come into full touch and action with the sign. Therefore, a person born between the dates of the 22d and the 28th of July would not receive the full central results of the sign's individuality, as this person would be born on the edge of the Zodiac, which is known as the Cusp. Its impulses partake of the sign the Sun has just passed through and out from. The native thus born will partake much of the attributes of the sign of the Zodiac, wherein the Moon was located at the time of birth.

Traits of Leo

LEO are kind-hearted, generous, sympathetic, and magnetic people. They make good nurses when in full sympathy with the patient. They are emotional, very intuitive, and are generally able by means of this power to escape the consequences of their actions.

Leo people are fine conversationalists, excelling in repartee, and are the best of story-tellers. They always make a point, and always see the point.

When the true individuality of Leo holds sway, these people have a noble ideal, with a loyal love, confident, pure, and abundant. Having minds of the practical, philosophical, and spiritual combined—a triunity—they radiate a luminous substance, which makes them a most powerful people for good, with a marked ability to inspire others. Under such conditions they have the most remarkable power in moulding public opinion, and in swaying great audiences. In fact, the truly awakened Leo men and women are invincible if they will learn the pathway of silence.

Leo have a great love for their own, and will not yield to advice or dictation in the management of their children. Leo women who have been looked upon as angels in the neighborhood will sometimes show an astonishing ferocity if their children are hurt or reproved. A fault found with them, a complaint made by a teacher or a friend, will arouse these mothers to the highest pitch of passionate excitement.

The natural intuition of these people is very great, and this talent is sometimes so constantly exercised that it leads to deep-seated aversion and prejudice. They have been right in their estimates of people six times out of ten, therefore they must be right ten times out of ten. Argument is of no use under such conditions. In fact, it is well to let the Leo enjoy his or opinions without interference.

Those born under Leo are in some respects near of kin to those who come under the head of the same triplicity. They would rather plan than work, and they are by no means fond of details. They are sometimes very lazy, and, like the cat, are fond of basking in the sun and dozing in the chimney corner. They are fond of all creature and home comforts.
