How it plays out
Leo is a Fire, Fixed sign ruled by the Sun, and that shapes how it carries Sun. Fire expresses itself outwardly and instinctively: warm, immediate, and moved to act on a feeling rather than sit with it. As a fixed sign, it holds: this part of you is deep, loyal, and slow to change once set.
Is your Sun really in Leo?
Sun moves through the zodiac on its own schedule, so your Sun sign often differs from your Sun sign. Only your birth chart shows where it actually falls. Nocturne computes your whole chart precisely and reads Sun in the context of everything else in it.
