Leo is the fifth sign, symbolised by the lion. It carries dignity, warmth, and command — generous, dramatic, and built to be seen leading.
Parashara describes Simha as a fixed fiery sign, male, kshatriya, rising head-first, dwelling in forests and mountains. Its lord is Surya, who holds his moolatrikona in its first 20 degrees and own dignity thereafter; no graha is exalted or debilitated in it.
— Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 4 (Rāśi Svarūpa)
A sthira agni-tattva sign, the Sun's only lordship — so Simha placements answer to the Sun's condition alone, with no exaltation or fall to complicate dignity. A shirshodaya sign, strong by day. For Simha lagna Mars is the yogakaraka (4th and 9th lord), and the luminaries-plus-Mars friendship circle makes the fiery grahas run functionally clean while Mercury and Venus carry the difficult lordships.
