Zodiac sign on 22 July

On 22 July the Sun changes sign in some years, from Cancer to Leo. If you were born on this day, you are Cancer or Leo, depending on the year and the hour.

The Sun does not enter a new sign at the same hour every year: the calendar year is not exactly as long as the solar year, and the leap day only evens out the difference every four years. In the years below the Sun changed sign on exactly this day, at the time given in UTC (London winter time): if you were born before it, you are Cancer; after it, Leo. In the other years it was Cancer all day.

♋︎ Cancer

Cancer is the sign of origins and home. The Moon itself is its planet, and so tradition sees Cancer as feeling, caring and with a good memory for everything that once hurt. Outwardly it wears a shell; inside it is soft. It protects those it loves, sometimes more than they want. Its task is to give security without shutting itself up in it.

♌︎ Leo

Leo stands in the high summer of the Northern Hemisphere, where the tradition was born, and the Sun is its star. Tradition gives it warmth, generosity and the wish to be seen. A Leo wants to create and show what it can do, and it carries others along. It is loyal as long as it is taken seriously, and hurt when it is overlooked. Its task, it is said, is to shine without taking the light from others.
