“There is something out there. Astrology is like a game of chess with an invisible partner. We set out the board and the rules, make a move, and then find that the pieces are moving themselves, as if by an invisible hand.”
Noel Tye
Leo is a fixed, masculine fire sign, ruled by the sun and associated with the Fifth House of joy, pleasure, sex, children, and dating. As bright as the sun itself, Leo loves to shine. Leo’s natural habitat is the center stage for attention. Bold and audacious, Leo’s warmth remains unmoving—thanks to its fixed nature. While stubborn at times, Leo tends to remain enthusiastically engaged. Whether it’s Leo’s immense joy or dramatic flair, no other sign can match the King or Queen of zodiac. This Lion will always have the loudest roar.*
