Bright Leo radiates warmth and vitality, and is the natural born leader of the zodiac. Ruled by the Sun, they are very outgoing, creative, and comfortable being in the spotlight. A fixed modality, Leo cruises us through the summer and allows us to let loose and confidently express ourselves in new creative ways. Summer has officially set in and the Sun is beaming for us.

“The first of the Twelve Labours of Heracles was to slay the Nemean Lion, a giant beast that terrorized the hills of Nemea. It’s golden fur was impenetrable by man-made weapons, and its claws could cut through the hardest metals. Heracles was not aware of the lion’s special properties until he shot an arrow and watched it bounce off the lion’s back. To best the beast, Heracles wore it out and lured it back to its cave. In such a tight space, Heracles was able to beat the lion with his club and strangle it to its death. Athena then came to Heracles and advised him to use the lion’s claw to remove it’s pelt. From then one, Heracles would be recognized by the club he wielded and the impenetrable lion’s skin he wore on his back.”
