Your sign: Leo
With the Sun in Leo, you’re at home: the star of the day rules your sign, and you radiate a warmth that makes people want to live bigger.
The Sun in Leo is the Sun in its own domicile, and you can feel it the moment you walk into a room. You have presence, a natural dignity and a deep need to express who you are in a creative, visible way. You aren’t seeking attention for its own sake; you want to live fully, to put heart into everything you do and to be recognized for it. Someone with the Sun in Leo has an innate sense of loyalty and honor: you keep your word, you protect your friends and you detest pettiness. Your generosity is big because your heart is.
Your decan: 3rd decan of Leo
Mars arms the third decan of Leo: you are the warrior king, the one who defends their territory with passion and never backs down from a challenge.
The third decan of Leo runs from about August 13 to 22, the exact boundary depending on the year and your time of birth. Mars sets the Sun ablaze here, and the result is a conquering, energetic, direct Leo whose will is a force of nature. You’re the most combative of the three decans: where the first radiates and the second expands, you act, you charge, you impose. Your courage is physical as much as moral, and you have a keen sense of honor. You love challenges, competition and victories won in hard-fought battle.
