Leopard Meaning and Symbolism

What Does a Leopard Symbolize

A leopard symbolizes physical strength, perseverance, confidence, power, intelligence, beauty, independence, leadership, steadfastness, swiftness, gracefulness and female mystique. Aided by a keen sense of sight and hearing, it can stalk its prey almost inconspicuously, thereby suggesting silence, sensitivity, mystery, secrecy and nocturnal magic.

Having a Leopard as Your Spirit Animal (Totem Animal)

Having a leopard as your spirit animal means that you are ambitious, tough, patient, wise, fearless and possessor of a great personality.

Your elegance and dignity trigger others to take note of you, the moment you enter in any gathering. But this does not mean that you are vain or flamboyant as a result. You are reserved and full of grace even during unpleasant situations.

Being serious about life, you remain steadfast in attaining your goals and even seek out mentors to get advice. Naturally succeeding in varied social roles is not a problem for you. Your tendency to respect others and communication skills also help you to be loved and respected by your peers.

Using your keen vision, you seek to take charge of a particular situation, vigorously act upon it by aligning the energies around you and finally emerge victorious.

At times you may appear cold and distant, but friendship and closeness are what you crave for always.
