Leo The Zodiac Sign

Leo Zodiacal Characteristics

Basic traits of Leo' character July 23 - August 23

The Zodiacal Sign of Leo begins on July 23rd, not July 21st, and it extends until August 22nd. While it's said to slowly gain strength in the first few days, astrology traditionally acknowledges the sign as fully operational from its starting date. Similarly, while it's commonly believed to gradually lose strength near the transition to Virgo, the "cusp" effect is more of a nuanced blending of traits rather than a clear-cut weakening.

Individuals born under the Leo sign are typically enthusiastic, energetic, and optimistic due to its associated Fire element. Leos are characterized by their joyous and fortunate disposition.
