Simha (Leo)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Simha (Leo) spans 120° to 150° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion. No planet is exalted or debilitated here. Simha emphasis reads as a need for legitimate authority and visible contribution — the placement is less about attention than about being credited for what one actually did.
