Hello all my lovely Leos, Happy Birthday!
If you were born between July 23rd and August 22, you’re a Leo like me! So let’s dive into all things Leo.
If you were born in July your birthstone is Ruby. If you're a fellow August baby, you have Peridot. Both beautiful stones, with great properties.
The Leo sign comes into play mid-summer, shifting us from the introspective energy of Cancer to the extroverted energy of Leo. This brings with it personal power and a strong sense of self-identity. The sign of Leo is represented by a lion, symbolizing Leos strong and courageous nature. Leos have the element of Fire, giving them an outgoing, vibrant energy that can be quite chaotic at times. Leos tend to struggle emotionally and experience conflict because they can be intense at times. Although they come across as self-confident, they often feel insecure and are always striving to be number one.
It's important to note that when the sun is in Leo we can all feel this strong Leo energy, so it can be helpful for all of us to work with these stones this time of year:
Carnelian. This fiery stone matches the energy of Leo; helping them become the best versions of themselves. It helps us express passion, creativity, and improves self-confidence and personal power.
Sunny Citrine is another good Leo stone. It aids in self-confidence, self-assurance, warmth, and generosity. It's positive energy gives Leos everything they need to THRIVE. Citrine can help Leo signs call in new opportunities and abundance, while also helping them get over their worry of being judged.
Garnet promotes loyalty, strength and courage. This is an excellent stone for Leos to use in manifestation work.
Labradorite offers Leos spiritual and emotional protection. This stone helps them dive deep into their personal insecurities and work to repair them. It is an excellent stone for Leo signs to use for growth. With Leos well known extroverted energy, they can sometimes forget about self work and discovery, Labradorite helps remind them and connect them to their intuition.
Rose Quartz is an amazing emotional healing stone for Leos. They usually tend to store emotional trauma and wounds deep down and ignore them. The loving and nurturing energy of Rose Quartz helps Leos open up and heal.
Golden Tigers Eye is a traditional Leo stone that combines earth and sun energy to support balance, and help Leo signs utilize their strong wills. It calms their feisty nature and helps them stay grounded. Another good stone for Leos is Blue Tigers Eye! Blue Tigers Eye aids in helping Leos understand themselves and their emotions. It helps Leos with their communication skills and offers a steady, calm energy that helps Leos go with the flow.
Lastly, lets cover the birthstones that fall under the Leo dates.
Ruby is a stone of passion and health. Ruby has been a stone of nobility for ages, so it's no surprise that it is connected to the Leo sign. This stone sharpens the mind, promotes courage, and aids in overcoming fear. Ruby stimulates the flow of energy in our root chakra, which is our foundation. When our root chakra is flowing we have strength and a stronger feeling of personal power.
Peridot is for all the August babies. Peridot is a stone of wealth and abundance as well as emotional healing. The Peridot crystal is connected to the energy of the sun which allows it to act as your own personal gemstone cheerleader and bring you strength. Peridot helps us recognize and work on getting rid of negative patterns and behaviors. Wear Peridot to bring in luck and abundance.
