The Lion is the perfect symbol of the Sun. King of the savannah with his sunray-like mane, the lion has been associated with the sun and royalty for hundreds of years. Interestingly, the Swahili word 'Simba' means both Lion and King. We now understand why the Lion King is called Simba in the famous Disney movie.
The Lion invites self-control, it allows to better manage his angry temperament and his aggressiveness. He is a born leader, he helps us to be the leader of a group and thus take the lead in projects.
The Lion lives in herds and works as a team. It is the females who hunt and the males distract the prey from the females or send them directly into their trap. The males, on the other hand, ensure the protection of the troop. In English, a troop of lions is called “Pride” which reinforces his symbolism.
Courage is a word that the lion knows well, he acts even if the situation is stressful and he seems fearless.
