Have you ever looked at someone before and thought to yourself, “That person has to be a Leo”? After all, there’s just something so glorious, confident and majestic about this fire sign. And because astrology has an impact on not just your personality, but also your physical appearance, you can almost tell someone’s zodiac sign just by looking at them. If you’re wondering what a Leo looks like, let’s dive in to why the lion of the zodiac is so easily recognizable.

Astrology is a powerful language that can describe the way a person looks, acts, dresses and even decorates their home! It all depends on the energy of your your sun sign, your Venus sign and most importantly, your rising sign. After all, the rising sign describes the energy you radiate and it’s alway the first thing people see when they meet you. While some may describe the rising sign as nothing more than a mask, think again. Your rising sign influences your sense of style, the vibes you give off and the way you navigate new environments. And at the end of the day, how you present yourself is always a reflection of who you are!

When someone has astrological placements in Leo, they tend to embody their planetary ruler, which is the sun. This bright, shimmering and life-giving energy can be seen in every aspect of a Leo’s life. Between their lustrous mane, their sparkling skin and their bold fashion choices, there’s something about a Leo that makes them impossible to ignore. Like the sun, they light up the whole room!

Leo placements are attractive to other people because of their natural glow and their warm personality. What else would you expect from the zodiac sign that’s literally ruled by the sun?

Leos tend to have very intense eyes, strong jaw lines and voluminous manes of hair that are often kept long and windblown.

Leo season takes place from July 22 to August 22, giving Leos a perfect excuse to take advantage of the summer sun and maintain their signature bronze tan.
