Leo,
in short
The things people ask most about Leo — dates, ruling planet, birthstone and the rest.
Leo is high summer, holding. The season isn't building toward anything or coming down from it — it simply is, at full strength, for weeks. The Sun rules this sign, and it is the only one ruled by the centre of everything.
So the warmth here is not a performance, or not only. Leo generates something and gives it away: attention, encouragement, the sense that the evening improved because they came. A room is usually warmer for this sign being in it, and everyone in it notices without quite locating why.
There is a hope for recognition alongside the generosity, and it isn't vanity — more the reasonable wish that the giving is seen. Leo does very little in a small way, and would rather be found slightly too much than forgettable.
Gold suits it, and so does being visible. A Leo pendant belongs where it catches light: worn out, worn often, worn with the collar open.
