Leo passes through the sky during the most scorching months of the year, and it's ruled by our star, the Sun, symbol of centrality, extroversion and courage. In this period, enthusiasm and welcoming spirit want to burst out of your skin: give in to them and plan some trips in the fields or picnics at the beach. Leo represents value, both material or spiritual: we could call it the gold of life. For this reason, the tree that most represents this sign is the African tree of Markhamia, also known as the Nile Tulip: its gorgeous yellow trunk reminds us of the most precious of metals.
