Leo or Virgo?
Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by Sun, symbolized by the lion. Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, symbolized by the maiden.
In short: Leo is the fixed fire sign, the only sign ruled by the Sun. It is associated with warmth, creativity, leadership and the wish to be seen and appreciated.
Virgo is the mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. The maiden holding a sheaf of grain links it with the harvest, careful work, analysis and service.
