Throughout RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 competition, Gottmik has stolen the hearts of fans and judges, thanks to her Leo Sun sign charisma. During her performances this season, Gottmik proved that she had the talent to make it to the top. She has a lovable personality and may become a drag superstar in a solo victory or double crowning. As a constant ray of light on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Gottmik exuded the cheery charm of her Leo Sun sign.

Gottmik was born on August 19, 1996, in Scottsdale, Arizona, near the end of Leo season. This season starts on July 23 and ends on August 22. Leo is a Fixed Fire sign. It’s symbolized by “the Lion.” Instead of being ruled by a planet like the other zodiac signs, Leo is ruled by the Sun. Guided by the star that keeps the solar system spinning, Leos are known for their creative, affectionate, and trailblazing spirits. Fans and celebrities are rooting for Gottmik, who has amassed a large social media following. While her performances on the show are practically flawless, Leos do have some flaws, including a tendency to be headstrong, self-centered, and inflexible.

Her couture style was innovative. It made her stand out from the pack on Drag Race season 13. The most immediate evidence of Gottmik’s creativity is her unique image, from her signature white face to the mesmerizing looks she delivered on the runway. Gottmik was consistently among the best dressed. She dazzled in her sea creature-inspired lamé ensemble. During the ball challenge that she won, RuPaul admitted that her looks were some of the best ever on the show.

Additionally, Gottmik has shown herself to be one of the most warmhearted and generous queens the series has ever featured. Gottmik forged lasting friendships with fellow competitors Kandy Muse, Tina Burner, and Symone. She also used the precious time the group had with Anne Hathaway to make teammate Denali feel better about her role in the musical challenge. Gottmik was able to slay the competition in RuPaul’s Drag Race and “RuPaul’s Best Friend Race.”

On top of displaying her Leo Sun sign’s signature creativity and compassion, Gottmik embodied the trailblazing characteristic of the Leo zodiac placement. Most notably, Gottmik’s appearance as the first transgender man to compete in Drag Race was groundbreaking for the entire franchise. In the past, even RuPaul has made controversial statements about whether or not trans drag queens have a place in the world of Drag Race. However, Gottmik effectively explained her identity as a trans man and drag queen, and other queens support her. She shows the world why transgender people belong on series like Drag Race. When out of drag, she is Kade Gottlieb and identifies with he/him pronouns. When Kade puts on drag and becomes Gottmik, she/her pronouns are preferred. By pioneering the trans experience on Drag Race, Gottmik epitomized the trailblazing spirit of her Leo Sun sign.

Although Leos are known for a handful of weaknesses such as being headstrong, selfish, and stubborn, Gottmik’s top-tier performance of RPDR did not showcase too many of those flaws. Gottmik did convey Leo’s headstrong quality when she fumbled during the soda commercial challenge. She almost landed in the bottom two because she was too inflexible to take Kandy Muse’s suggestion to simplify her ad. On the other hand, Gottmik’s Paris Hilton Snatch Game performance was a work of genius that only an impulsive Leo could pull off.

Overall, Gottmik embodied the very best of her Leo Sun sign on Drag Race. As a creative powerhouse, sympathetic friend, and trailblazing trans icon, Gottmik won the hearts of fans and judges. Like the Sun that Leo is ruled by, Gottmik is the beacon of light on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
