About Leo

Leo is linked with the Sun, creativity and self-expression. Its people are described as confident and warm, with a love of attention and a wish to make an impression.

Generosity, courage and a talent for lifting a room are the strengths named for Leo. The weak side is pride: astrologers say a Leo can find it hard to take criticism.

Decan and Sun position

In 2026, the Sun is at 9°25′ Leo at noon on August 1 in the time zone of New York City. A decan is a part of 10 degrees, and each sign has three. In the traditional system, a decan adds the character of the sign of the same element that goes with it. The first decan belongs to Leo itself, so its traits show most clearly.
