Unleash your inner lion when you are born between July 23 and August 22. Your voice is a roar, and the sound is potent. This makes you a natural-born leader, ready to take action and solve problems. You can unite groups with different goals or values in mind, to give them a common cause.
Leo the lion represents fire and courage, to stand up for your beliefs when no one else does. You always are ready to leave your comfort zone to seek the next challenge. That inner fire also means that Leo has a warm heart and wants to spread joy to others.
A Leo sign holder is associated with the Sun, the giver of life. Much as plants and flowers grow with the dawn and midday light, so the lion’s spirit blooms. Such higher power controls our energy and personalities. A Leo gains strength from the power of the sun, and the confidence that one needs to confront life.
Balancing The Traits Of A Leo:
Leo is creative and generous with a great sense of humour. A sign holder wishes to entertain others with the power of their creations. This allows them to make many friends, and be good friends in turn.
On the flip side, some Leo users can find stubbornness or an inflated ego guiding them. They dislike when others ignore them for other issues and may place themselves in the centre of a situation. This can lead to them neglecting friends in turn.
To remain a good leader, the Leo must keep their ego in check, and work to maintain a sunny disposition. They must also retain the perspective and context of a situation.
Birthstones For Those Born With The Lion:
When you as a Leo use a stone, you want to ensure that you find ones that will revive your energy. Stay fiery, while tempering that with wisdom. The sun is your source of personal power, and you need crystals that will allow you to elevate and maintain that energy.
Leo gives a lot to the world and receives nothing in return. You want a stone that can make up the deficit in energy and spirit, as well as inspiration. To align with the sun, you want yellow sapphire, citrine or tiger eye which channels to the intuitive mind. These crystals also work with Jupiter, the spirit of luck and power, so you can add some fairness to your life.
To keep negative feelings from affecting you, balance with black onyx and black tourmaline. These crystals are the most powerful grounding, purification, dispel negativity, protects and purifies.
