Leo Sun Sign

A symbol for courage used in many literary and cultural devices, the lion is always used to connote courage and heart. King of the jungle and the top cat in the feline family, the Leo sun sign is also encrusted with the image of a mighty lion. And with such a dominance streaming through the zodiac, it is only right that this symbol be ruled by the Sun. Given that there are two divisions of zodiac timelines, two sets of Leos have been sought out. From the tropical zodiac, a Leo is born from July 23 to August 23. For the sidereal zodiac, Leos are born from August 17 to September 16.

Mythological, the lion is a character that was fought and slain by Hercules. In honor of Hercules, and the lion's courage in facing Hercules in combat, Zeus raised the lion's head and placed it amongst the stars.
