Brightness and Courage: The Characteristics of the Leo Sign (July 23 to August 22)

Heracles’ triumph over the Nemean lion became a symbol of the courage and willpower that characterize the Leo sign. In fact, it is said that Heracles took the animal’s skin with him, using it as a kind of amulet that made it invulnerable to any danger.
