July 22 – Aug 22
It’s Leo season! In astrology, Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and its governing period is from July 23rd to August 22nd. Its representation as a lion is usually linked with the Nemean lion slain by Heracles (Hercules). Folks that are born under the sign of Leo are natural born leaders. Leos are dramatic, creative, self-confident, dominant and attractive. They are able to achieve anything they want to in any are of life if they commit to it enough. Some of Leo’s weaknesses are that they can be a little bit arrogant, stubborn, self-centered and lazy. Leo belongs to the element of Fire, which makes them warmhearted, they are in love with life and they are always trying to have a good laugh. They are ruled by the Sun and they worship this fiery entity in the sky, quite literally as well as metaphorically.
Major Arcana Cards
Isn’t that just like a Leo to go and get two Major Arcana Leo has a tarot card associated with them as well. Leo’s card is The Strength. The Strength Tarot card is the Major Arcana card of inner strength. It represents mastering raw emotions in order to bring calm to yourself or a situation. However, this card usually refers to inner challenges. The Strength card represents a Leo’s physical strength, like the Lion on the card as well as your emotional, mental and spiritual prowess. Like the Lion, you are blessed with plenty of courage, which helps you overcome problems and obstacles. There is a reversed meaning of this card as well. When the Strength Tarot card appears reversed in your Tarot reading, it indicates that you are not tapping into the inner strength you have. It shows that you started letting fear, anxiety or low-self esteem influence you. This time it is really crucial that you focus on the positive and you stay away from people who make you feel inadequate and spend time with people who build you up and make you shine.
Minor Arcana Cards
Previously we talked about Leo’s card in the Major Arcana, however Leo is represented by different cards in the Minor Arcana. The five cards in the Minor Arcana that are representing the Leo are King of Wands, Queen of Wands, Knight of Pentacles, Five of Wands, Six of Wands and Seven of Wands. Our fire sign, Leo is associated with the Wands of the Tarot. The element of fire can be linked to inspiration and generative creativity, primal energy and ambition, passion and sexuality. The suite of Wands represents much of the same themes of creative drive in our Leo’s lives.
