Simha (Leo)
सिंह · Fire · Fixed · ruled by Sun
Simha (Leo) is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. A Simha Moon is traditionally linked with dignity, generosity, leadership and a need to be respected and appreciated. In the sidereal zodiac the Sun is in its own sign Simha from about 17 August to 16 September.
What is Simha like as a Moon sign?
Simha is the Sun’s only sign, and it carries the Sun’s qualities of centre, warmth and authority. Fixed fire burns steadily rather than flaring: Simha people are often consistent, principled and generous with time and praise. Their pride is real but usually tied to a sense of responsibility — a good Simha leader protects the group.
