all about the leo zodiac sign
What do Megan Markle, Madonna and Daniel Ratcliffe have in common? They all have birthdays that fall under the Leo sign. You don’t have to be a princess, iconic singer or Harry Potter to embody the qualities of a Leo, though. This fire sign features a lion symbol and represents courage, strength and determination. They’ve also got loyalty and generosity going for them in their personalities, making them loyal friends or partners. If you know a Leo, you also know that they can be stubborn at times and maybe even impatient. Leos also love the limelight, so it’s no surprise that Kylie Jenner and J. Lo are also in the Leo club.
Regardless, Leos are natural-born leaders and know how to own any room — or red carpet — they walk into (or onto).
symbolism of Leo jewelry
As a constellation, Leo contains a multitude of universes. This 12th largest constellation in the night sky takes on the shape of a pouncing lion, its feet planted and its paws up, complete with a flowing mane of stars. Ancient Egyptians believed the sun god Ra had the head of a lion, making the figure a popular symbol on jewelry. Throughout history, the lion features prominently in the courts of Egyptian pharaohs, as statues outside 16th-century cathedrals and even on British pounds in the Victorian era. As the fifth sign of the zodiac, Leo’s symbol is suggestive of a lion’s head and stately mane.
