Fire · Fixed · ruled by Sun · sign #5 of 12
Modern sign synthesis - not from a classical text. The lucky day, colour and number are the same.
Leo (Simha) is confident, generous and dignified. Ruled by the Sun, natives are natural leaders who shine in the spotlight.
Management, government, entertainment, politics and any role of authority and visibility.
Warm and romantic, they love grandly and expect loyalty and admiration in return.
Counted from the Moon sign, vedha included. These grahas stay in a sign for months or years, so this is what sets the longer tone.
Sade Sati is not running for Leo, but Saturn is in the 8th house from it - dhaiya (small panoti). Check against your own chart
A sign's 30 degrees are nine nakshatra padas - two and a quarter nakshatras. The birth Moon's pada is also where the first syllable of a traditional name is taken from.
The syllables are the jyotisha almanac's table (the avakahada chakra). The Dharmasindhu (1888, p. 133) records that some name a child by it, and says the srauta and grihya texts do not agree; no text stating the table itself was found.
Counted from the janma rāśi (Moon sign) - Phaladeepika 26.2.
