📜 Mythology & Symbolism
In Greek mythology, the Leo constellation represents the Nemean Lion, a fearsome beast slain by Hercules as the first of his twelve labors. The lion's skin was impervious to weapons, symbolizing strength and invincibility. The Sun, as Leo's ruler, emphasizes the sign's association with vitality, life force, and conscious self-expression—much like the lion is the king of the jungle.
"A Leo's heart is a royal sun – shining, warm, and life-giving."
