Leo Decanates: Periods, Characteristics, Personality and More!

There are many points that influence your characteristics and go far beyond just knowing the sun sign. We have ascendants, descendants, moon sign, ruling planet and much more.

Within each sign, there are subdivisions that differentiate people of the same sign. These subdivisions are called decans, and here we’ll learn more about them.

The first question you, Leo or Leo, need to answer is: Do you know what decans are? Next, what is your Leo sign decan? Understand more about the decans and what are the decans of Leo, their characteristics, personality and much more.

One of the twelve houses of the zodiac is your Sun Sign. This sign will define your personality and several other characteristics, based on some important information in your life: date, time and place of birth.

Here, we are going to talk about the decans of the fifth house of the zodiac: The sign of Leo. Known for their vitality, intelligence and optimism, they draw the public to them and love recognition for their brilliance in life.

Leo decans, like any decan of other signs, are the subdivisions that happen in the sun signs. The twelve houses of the zodiac form a circle, 360º.

Let’s make a small mathematical calculation: 360º divided by the 12 houses results in 30º for each sign and, within each sign, there are 3 divisions (10º for each division), which we call decanates.

Leo is a sign of the fire element, ruled by the star King, the Sun. If in our Solar System the Sun is the center of the Universe, for those born under the sign of Leo, the person is the central point of their life. As he is the center of his world, his quest for self-knowledge is intensified, as he is thirsty to know more and more about himself.

However, within this sign there are three different personalities, one for each decan. Depending on your date of birth, you Leo and you Leo may act differently. Personality, characteristics, emotions, way of relating, everything can be changed depending on your date.

■

As previously mentioned, what will define your decanate is your date of birth. Therefore people born of:

07/22 to 07/31 = Belong to the first decan of Leo;
01/08 to 10/08 = Belong to the second decan of Leo;
08/11 to 08/21 = Belong to the third decan of Leo.

Therefore, remember your decanate, as it will influence your personality, your feelings and attitudes.

Welcome Leos who are part of the first decan of Leo. Here you will understand a little more about yourself and will know how to deal better with the world around you.

Observe your characteristics and personalities and try to compare with what is said here, learn more about yourself.

■

All Leo men and women born from 07/22 to 07/31 are part of the first decan. These are doubly governed by the star King, the Sun. Every Leo has the Sun as the ruling planet of the solar sign, however, those born in the first decan are ruled doubly by it.

■

The optimism of Leos born during this period is remarkable anywhere. Wherever he goes, his smile shines and, spontaneously, attracts the attention of the people around him.

Just like the Sun, these people attract many others who orbit around them, admiring them and seeking to take for themselves a little bit of the light that this being squanders wherever it goes.

■

They are loyal and very generous beings. They will always come first, but if they like a person, whether lovingly or within a true friendship relationship, they will do everything possible to help them and see them well.

Considered the most generous sign of the zodiac and, as it is the first decan also ruled by the Sun, it becomes even more generous. This characteristic is marked in the Leo.

■

They have a giant glow of their own, with this profile they attract looks and the attention of any public. People of this decan find it easy to work with professions that involve performing for large audiences or professions related to the arts.

Examples of professions for the natives of this decan would be in the artistic area, painters, architects, journalists and the like. They will shine wherever they are.

■

Extremely vain, these Leos are very attached to appearance, after all, the public expects them to shine. However, make no mistake, they have a strength in their characteristic, a vitality that makes them have energy to learn and improve any skill they want.

They always seek to stand out and, therefore, do not measure efforts to make them realize how much they have evolved, in addition to having an innate aptitude to lead, whether at work or in life.
They just need to be careful that this aptitude for leadership is not confused with imposition.

■

With so much brightness in his personality, attracting looks, creating bonds, with an optimism that exudes joy and vitality, he could not miss an intense and lively social life.

Surrounded by good vibes and with infinite self-esteem, the Leo of this decanate is extremely active and does not even need to seek attention, because, by itself, he attracts the audience he wants. Bohemians with a card, love to travel, socialize with friends, parties and much more.

Leos of the second decan of Leo, it’s your turn. The second decan is ruled by another planet and has slightly different characteristics from the first decan.

Considered the best decan for those born under the sign of Leo, they manage to find a balance between the first and third decans.

■

They belong to the second decan, Leo men and women, born from 01/08 to 10/08. The ruling planet here is Jupiter, planet of the sign of Sagittarius and, for this reason, they gain a little of the characteristics of Sagittarians, among them: freedom, spontaneity and thirst for adventures.

This Sun/Jupiter union makes each planet strengthen the characteristics of the other, presenting us with wonderful people and with the power to get wherever you want.

■

Jupiter’s influence usually amplifies the main characteristics of Leos, so these people tend to exude vitality, beauty and natural charm.

Thanks to this Jupiter/Sagittarius influence, the quest for freedom is even greater. They become more ambitious for intelligence and seek to expand their abilities ever further. The thirst for knowledge is voracious among these Leos.

■

The Leo/Sagittarius union forms a natively ambitious profile. Always looking to improve and expand any area of his life. Here you need to be a little careful, this expansion, combined with excessive self-confidence, can be misinterpreted as arrogance.

■

One of the most talked about characteristics of Leos is that they are selfish beings because they have great self-esteem and extreme confidence. However, thanks to Jupiter, Leos of the second decan are more flexible in their lives.

At work and among friends, these people begin to understand opinions that are different from their own, accepting and seeking to absorb as much as possible to improve. In love life, they are more adept at dialogue and listening to their partner.

Here authoritarianism and domination almost do not exist, hardly a Leo of the second decan presents these characteristics.

■

Spontaneity is another trait inherited from Sagittarius and, here, it is added to what already exists in Leo. Your brilliance, humor and attractiveness are purely spontaneous and become even more so in the second decan.

Their generosity, also amplified, makes them want to help everyone around them, making them benevolent to those in need. In love relationships, they enchant the other signs by surprising the beloved.

Sometimes, because they are so spontaneous, they can be considered “forced” people, who try to do things to get attention or to be considered perfect.

■

And, last but not least, we have here a totally Sagittarius trait, which Leos of the second decan benefit greatly from: the willingness to throw themselves into adventures.

This adventurous profile, combined with your quest for self-knowledge, only adds to it, but be careful not to get lost in the adventures. It is necessary to analyze the scenario and emotions in order not to be taken over by them.

Many adventurous Leos miss out on many opportunities because they always think there is an even better new adventure.

We have arrived at the last decan of the sign of Leo: the third decan.

Here, Leos can be more different than previous decans. Influenced by the same element twice, people born in the third decan of Leo have more energy and throw themselves into life. Check out all the features of this period.

■

The natives of the third decan are the people who were born in the period from 8/11 to 8/21. Ruled by the planet Mars, these Leos are doubly affected by the Fire element.

This influence directly affects your personality and feelings. Some people think that because it is the last decan, the person looks more like the next sign (Leo would look more like Virgo, for example).

However, that’s not how it works. There are definite planets, which rule each 10th of the zodiac or each decan. That’s why it’s important to know every detail that influences you.

■

Mars allied with the ruling planet of Leo, the Sun, added to the fire element, carries the energies of Leos, leaves them electrified, motivated and, therefore, they end up making decisions without thinking, just by impulsiveness.

This all makes it unpredictable at different times. You need to be very careful with this impulse, as it can harm your life.

■

Leo is part of the set of fixed signs, so they become authoritarian and, for those who don’t know them, arrogant. They don’t give their arm to twist, because their opinion is the right one and there’s no discussion.

This quality can affect relationships with this person, but it does not prevent them from conquering people. They can be domineering, but they always try to use this factor in the form of benevolence.
