You can hear the roaring sound of Leo the Lion during the time of July 22 to Aug 21. There is no mistaking when you are in the presence of the Lion, for they are courageous, generous, fun-loving and affectionate. The Sun, which is the center of the solar system, is also the ruler of this zodiac sign.  Leos feels they are the center of everyone’s world, and often are the sun in someone’s darkness; giving warmth and joy to those around them, but there are times when they too can become depressed. The Sun represents will-power and leadership, making this mighty Lion confident with a need to be in the limelight, yet underneath that facade lies insecurity, and self doubt. Leo is a fixed fire element. The Lion believes in manifestation, values and ideas, but with the fixed aspect, it makes them stubborn and inflexible.  The fire aspect of Leo never stops burning, but how it burns depends on what fuels it. Leos are romantic, protective and supportive making for a great life partner. Taking pride in their homes, Leos are the king or queen of their castle.  A Leo can also be bossy and self centered. As high achievers, Leos are devoted to maintaining their status which may lead to a big ego. They crave attention and admiration from those around them so you’ll be expected to put the Lion up on a pedestal for all to see and be in awe of. Jasmine (Jasminum grandiflorum) is perfectly suited for the noble Leo with its deep, sensual, exotic aroma, helping keep Leo’s fire alive. This is a very expensive oil due to its delicate, hand-picked petals of which the oil is extracted. Since Leos are fond of the finer things in life, from cars to perfumes, Jasmine is a perfect fit. The aromatic ‘personality’ of Jasmine is that of a Leo, strong yet gentle, charming, charismatic and joyful. Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) has a warm, earthy aroma reassuring Leo’s confidence and enhancing compassion. Mentioned numerous times in the Bible and often used as an incense for religious ceremonies, this is a good oil to help Leo get in touch with their spiritual side. Orange (Citrus sinensis) is a sunny refreshing scent, creating inner and outer cheer for the Leo when self doubt settles in. The aroma of orange essential oil helps one to embrace ideas and suggestions from others which is a weak trait in a stubborn Leo. Fun fact: Whitney Houston was a Leo.
