Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac, is represented by the lion—an animal synonymous with courage, pride, and natural authority. In astrology, those born between late July and late August are said to inherit the lion's confidence, creative fire, and warmth. The lion itself has symbolized royalty and power across countless cultures throughout history, from ancient Egypt to medieval European heraldry, making it one of the most recognizable and revered big cats in human civilization.
