All Fired Up: Leo Season Has Arrived!

July is already coming to an end, and August is just around the corner. Sunny days and warm evenings create magical moments—perfect for celebrating the birth symbols of those born during this vibrant season!

 

Natural Stones

First of all, we’re entering Leo season! Leos, this is your time to shine—literally! Ruled by the Sun and the element of fire, you’re made to radiate. Here are a few natural stones especially recommended for you, fiery Leos:

• Citrine: Known as the stone of abundance and success, citrine helps Leos manifest their ambitions and attract prosperity. Its golden color reflects solar energy, perfectly aligned with Leo's natural brilliance.

• Tiger's Eye: A stone of protection and courage, tiger’s eye strengthens Leo's self-confidence. It helps balance emotions and maintain focus, supporting inner strength and determination.

• Garnet: Garnet boosts energy, passion, and creativity—traits that define Leos. It enhances vitality and stamina, helping Leos pursue their goals with enthusiasm and purpose.

To this list, we can also add the birthstones of July and August:

• July: Ruby
  Ruby, though often expensive, is frequently substituted with red cubic zirconia (synthetic stones) or garnets, which share many of its energetic properties.

• August: Peridot
  Peridot, a stone of rebirth and renewal, is known for its physical and emotional healing properties, as well as its ability to protect and cleanse the aura. Connected to the heart chakra, it fosters love, compassion, and harmonious relationships, while attracting abundance and prosperity. Its vibrant green hue symbolizes growth, vitality, and positive energy—bringing joy and well-being to those who wear it.

 

Birth Flowers

Now let’s move on to birth flowers. As you probably know by now, I have an infinite love for flowers! So I absolutely had to add July and August birth flowers to this symbolic lineup:

• July: Lotus
  The lotus flower is a timeless symbol of purity, spiritual growth, and rebirth. Just as the lotus gracefully blooms from muddy waters, it represents the journey of overcoming life’s challenges and obstacles.

• August: Gladiolus
  The name “gladiolus” comes from the Latin gladius, meaning “sword.” This connection symbolizes strength, integrity, and courage. Historically, gladioli were given to victorious gladiators in Ancient Rome. Today, they represent victory and triumph, achievement and success. Red gladioli, in particular, are often associated with passionate love, deep admiration, and intense devotion.

 

Colors

The colors associated with Leo are gold, orange, yellow, and red—the colors of fire! Here’s why these hues are often linked to this sign:

• Gold: Symbolizing wealth, power, and authority, gold reflects qualities often attributed to Leos. Governed by the Sun, Leos shine with the same brilliance and warmth.

• Orange: A bold and energetic color, orange evokes warmth and enthusiasm—traits that describe Leos perfectly. It stimulates creativity and zest for life, enhancing Leo’s natural charisma.

• Yellow: A sunny color symbolizing optimism, joy, and light. It reflects Leo’s warm and generous nature. Yellow is also linked to intelligence and wisdom—attributes Leos take pride in.

• Red: A passionate and powerful color, red stands for strength, courage, and ambition. Often tied to love and intense energy, it embodies the Leo spirit in both personal and professional life.

 

These colors amplify the image of Leo as a strong, generous, and dazzling sign, echoing its solar connection and central place in the zodiac.

 

There you have it! Happy birthday to everyone celebrating their birthday during these months. I’m wishing you lots of love—and maybe even some flowers and a little sparkle from these stunning natural stones! After all, if there’s one sign that knows how to shine, it’s Leo!
