Leo: Creativity, Radiance, and Being Seen

Leo is the 5th astrological archetype and the second fire sign. It is a natural progression of energy from the previous archetype of Cancer, which was focused on childhood development, the family, and emotional nurturing. We see the transition from Cancer to Leo when the child develops an independent personality and wants to share it with the world. Like the Sun, the child possesses a life spark and inner vitality, and feels the natural impulse to shine.
