Dates use the tropical zodiac. "Part of sign" splits each sign into three parts of about ten days (decans), ruled by the sign itself and then the next two signs of the same element.
July 1 to 22: Cancer
Cancer is a water sign ruled by Moon. People born on these dates tend to be loyal, caring and intuitive, and can struggle with being moody and over-sensitive. Read the full Cancer profile or see this month's Cancer horoscope.
July 23 to 31: Leo
Leo is a fire sign ruled by Sun. People born on these dates tend to be generous, confident and warm-hearted, and can struggle with being proud and stubborn. Read the full Leo profile or see this month's Leo horoscope.
July cusp dates
The shaded rows above (July 21, July 22, July 23 and July 24) sit next to a change of sign. The Sun moves into the next sign at a slightly different hour each year, so on these days the sign you see in a table may not match your own chart. Your birth time and place settle it. A free birth chart shows where the Sun really was.
