♌ Leo

fixed fire · Sun in Leo: July 22 – August 23, 2026 (computed from the ephemeris)

Leo is midsummer held steady: fixed fire, the Sun in its own sign, light at full strength with nothing left to prove about whether it will rise. The tradition reads this as identity itself — the need not merely to exist but to be seen existing, and the corresponding gift for making others feel seen when the warmth is turned outward.

The failure mode is the same radiance pointed inward: performance replacing presence, pride that cannot take a note. Leo's classical body part is the heart, and the sign is at its best exactly when that is taken literally — generous, steady, central without demanding the centre.

In the tradition

Every fact above is read from the same dignity tables the chart engine uses — the reference cannot drift from the math.

The three decans

Two systems, honestly both: the Chaldean faces walk the seven classical planets in slowest-to-fastest order continuously through all 36 decans; the triplicity decans hand each third to the ruler of the next sign of the same element.

The axis, and the sign's kin

Leo faces Aquarius across the wheel; the axis is about the one and the many: the heart at the centre against the view from outside the room.

Same element (fire triad): Aries · Sagittarius. Same modality (fixed cross): Taurus · Scorpio · Aquarius.
