15 Crystals for Leo Astrological Energy
Every zodiac sign has wonderful gifts associated with it, but there are also challenges that you might face, especially if the sun is currently in the your sun sign. Stones work to encourage your gifts and help you face your challenges.
The sun is in Leo from July 22nd to August 22nd. If your sun sign is not Leo, these stones are still useful. The zodiac energy of each sign surrounds all of us based on the time of the year. The energies of Leo are at work now.
You may have seen the iconic image of a majestic lion sitting on top of a mountain with all the other animals of the kingdom down below looking up. To me, this is Leo: Leo's like attention. In fact, Leo's don't just like attention, they demand attention.
The energy of this time of year, when the sun is in Leo, is full of courage and power, and with this comes, drama and exuberance. While the Leo energy is sometimes arrogant, it is also generous and warm.
If we think about the time of the year that the sun is in Leo, the Earth (in the northern hemisphere) is bountiful and overflowing with life. This, too, is the Leo energy: vibrant and outgoing.
