About Leo
Leo covers Jul 23 – Aug 22. It is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fire sign in the fixed group. Fixed signs fall in the middle of a season, when its weather has settled in.
The Sun is the traditional ruler of Leo, and each daily reading names it for you. The Sun is the one ruler that is a star, and it rules Leo alone.
A sun-sign reading is the same for everyone born under Leo. A chart drawn for your birth date, time and place is a different, narrower thing. Foresight, not fate.
