Leo Sun Child

Leo Sun Sign dates for 2023 (July 23rd – August 23rd)

As a curious parent, it’s important to know that the dates and times of each Sun Sign can vary slightly from year to year. If your child is born on, or close to these dates, a Birth Chart can accurately decipher their true Sun Sign. The time and location are also valuable details. For example: The Sun moves into Leo close to 12:00pm on 23rd July, 2023, Sydney, Australia time.

Birth Charts are coloured with vibrational influences and angles that add flavour to your Child’s Sun Sign expression. It’s also interesting to note that each Sun Sign has its own Symbol, Element and Ruling Planet. They synergise and flow through your child’s character.

Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, so let’s begin by delving into the energies and personality traits of Leo Sun Child, followed by helpful tips to guide, support and spark their joy.

Is a LEO SUN CHILD warmly snuggled under your loving wing?

Leo Sun Child Symbol: The Lion

In astrology, the symbols are representative of the energy and characteristics of each of the twelve signs, which mostly derive from Ancient Greece, Rome, and as far back as Babylonian times. The Leo Sun Child’s symbol is The Lion, the king of the jungle!

The Lion is known for; Regality, Pride, Loyalty, Sun Love and Power.

Does your Leo Sun Child’s nature align with the qualities of The Lion?

Leo Sun Child Element: Fire

Interestingly, Fire, Earth, Air and Water are known as the four elements in astrology. Each element belongs to three of the twelve zodiac signs.

The four elements relate to different aspects of the self and Fire relates to “our energy in motion.” It is expressed externally, comes with a sense of possibility and self motivation, and is the element for Leo.

Leo shares the element of Fire with Sagittarius and Aries. The three signs possess individual qualities based around the element of Fire, and when grouped together have a common thread of compatibility within the zodiac.

Lively, active, exciting, explosive and full of colour, there’s always a hive of activity around children with strong Fire compatibility!

Do you see the qualities of the Fire element burning brightly in your Leo Sun Child?

Leo Sun Child Ruling Planet: The Sun 

Over time, each sign has been allocated a Ruling Planet. From an astrological perspective, the zodiac signs and planets in the Solar System were matched up, largely based on their thematic relationship to one another. It's interesting to note that as you foster your Leo Sun Child’s radiance, The Sun comes into play!

Resplendence, Grandeur, Heat and Vitality are all Sun words that can add an extra layer of insight to the true essence of your Leo Sun Child.

Leo Sun Child Mum Inspiration

A few extra tricks up your sleeve as you look to the Sun for a Super Mum boost!

Challenge your Leo Sun Child to share the limelight. They dazzle with radiance without even trying, so humility is key. Interestingly, not every Leo Sun Child will appear to enjoy being the centre of attention. They can be incandescent in subtle ways too!

Inspire your Leo Sun Child to wholeheartedly embrace their magnanimous nature. Nobility and generosity are King in the face of victory and defeat.

Approach with warmth to spike the attention of your Leo Sun Child, as they’re softies at heart. If you need to dial up response time, elevate the temperature of your tone. Contrary to their POV, you’re “The Boss” at bathtime, dinnertime and most of the time!!

Tackle your Leo Sun Child’s exuberance and vigour by prompting them to step back occasionally for someone else to take charge. A tired Lion is not a happy Lion!

Encourage your Leo Sun Child to lick their wounds all but briefly, if their pride is hurt. As their biggest fan, remind them of what warms their heart, and nudge them to courageously rise like the sun. After all, their captivating smile and vibrant personality is essential for the goodness of mankind!

Guide your Leo Sun Child’s predisposition to valour in the face of danger. Guide them with love and care toward awareness and heed.

Support your Leo Sun Child’s generous hospitality, and their ability to organise the lives of others, by ‘assisting’ in the management and arrangement of exciting events. Focus on projects that take some time to come to life, and deliver the essence of joy to all involved.

Stimulate your Leo Sun Child’s self expression through performance, leadership and spirited play. They love a heartfelt download and a good cuddle too.
