Symbolism & Connection to Korea
While the Western zodiac sign Leo corresponds to the lion, Korea has a rich history of lion symbolism (called "saja" 사자). Stone lion statues, "Haetae," often guard palaces and temples, representing guardianship and warding off evil—much like a Leo's protective nature. The lion's image appears in traditional Korean art and folklore, symbolizing power, dignity, and good fortune.
"The lion's heart reflects a Leo's courage: bold, proud, and fiercely protective of their pride."
