If you’re a Leo, then you must be a passionate, attention-loving, leader. Then you know what? In astrological culture, each sign of the zodiac has its own “lucky stone” or “birthstone”. These stones are said to bring good luck, protect you, and even enhance your character strengths.
Today we’re going to talk about what Leo’s lucky stones are, what they mean, and why they’re appropriate for you, the natural born leaders.
I. Basic information about Leo
First let’s take a brief look at Leo:
- Birth time: Anyone born between July 23 and August 22 each year is a Leo.
- Symbolized animal: the lion. This is where the name of this sign comes from.
- PERSONALITY TRAITS: Enthusiastic, confident, expressive, and a leader, but can sometimes come across as a bit conceited or stubborn.
In ancient mythology, Leo is actually associated with a monster called the Nemean Lion. Legend has it that this lion was so invulnerable that even the gods couldn’t do anything about it. Then the great hero Hercules defeated it and draped its skin over his body, making it one of his greatest trophies. So people put this lion in the sky and turned it into Leo.
The ancient Egyptians also worshipped the lion, which they felt symbolized power and bounty. So Leo was given a strong sense of power and kingship from the very beginning.
Two: Leo Personality Traits
Leos are usually very confident and love to be the center of attention in a crowd. They are not afraid of challenges, dare to pursue their dreams, and are willing to stand up for their friends.
However, sometimes their confidence can be misinterpreted by others as “arrogance” or stubbornness because they are too insistent on their own ideas. But this is only a superficial impression. Those who really know Leos know that they are warm at heart, loyal to their friends and willing to help others.
Leo is most influenced by the sun, so their personality is as bright and stable as the sun. They don’t like to change too much, but because of this, they are often trustworthy people in the eyes of their friends.
3. Are there different types of Leos too?
In case you didn’t know, although everyone is a Leo, there are actually three other types that can be broken down into. This is mainly based on the difference in date of birth:
1. The first type of Leo (July 23 to August 1)
