The Story of Leo the Lion
The constellation of Leo
Leo is a very bright constellation that lies in the night sky between Cancer and Virgo. The Leonids meteor shower that occurs every November originates from the constellation Leo.
The story of the constellation of Leo the Lion originates from the Greek myth of Heracles and his 12 trials. Heracles’ first trial was to kill the Nemean Lion, a ferocious beast that terrorized the villages and citizens of Peloponnese.
Heracles went hunting for the beast, but quickly found it would be difficult to kill. It had skin like armour that could not be penetrated by arrows.
Finally, he decided to wrestle with the Lion, eventually choking it to death in a great battle. He removed the lion’s pelt, cutting the skin with its own claws, and returned with it to prove his victory.
Legend says the Lion was cast into the stars, forever commemorating the fierce battle that Heracles won with sheer strength and courage.

The Element & Quality of Leo
Leo is a Fire Sign
The Zodiac is divided into four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water, which represent the four basic modes of being. Signs that share an Element are generally regarded to compliment each other.
The Element of Leo is “Fire”, which it shares, and is compatible with, Aries and Sagittarius.
The Element of Fire symbolizes the burning desire to succeed. It represents self-expression, assertiveness, enthusiasm and passion.
Fire is thought to be the most fundamental of the four elements.

The Quality of Leo is “Fixed”
The signs of the Zodiac are also divided into Qualities: Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Signs that share a Quality are thought to be uncomplimentary.
The Quality determines the basis for an individual’s disposition. Those with a certain Quality will tend to have commanding characteristics that are deep-rooted and change little throughout their lifetime.
Each Quality views the world uniquely and reacts to situations in their own way. This means that their reasoning and actions may be contradictory to the other Qualities.
The Fixed Quality is known to be solid and steady. Those with this Quality are likely to be dedicated, self-confident and full of ambition.
On the flip side, Fixed signs can be seen as inflexible, self-absorbed and closed off to new ideas or ways of doing things.
Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius are also fixed signs and are therefore less likely to be compatible with Leo.
