August 11 zodiac sign: Leo
- Sun sign
- Leo
- Sun at noon UTC
- 17.9° to 19.3° Leo
- Decan
- Second of Leo, 10° to 20°
- Element and mode
- Fire, fixed
- Ruling planet
- The Sun
In every one of the 91 years from 1940 to 2030 the Sun stood in Leo for the whole of August 11, in every time zone on Earth, between 17.9° and 19.3° of the sign at noon UTC, so an August 11 birthday is a Leo birthday whatever the year or the hour.
At noon UTC on August 11 the Sun is in the second decan of Leo, 10° to 20°, in every one of those years, a face that belongs to Jupiter in the Chaldean order and is read through Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, by triplicity, so the two systems agree; in most years the decan runs from August 2 to August 12, and August 11 is its tenth day.
In most years August 11 is the 20th day of the Sun’s season in Leo, which runs from July 23 to August 22 counted at noon UTC, with eleven days of it still to come. August 11 is the 223rd day of a common year and the 224th of a leap year, with 142 days of the year still to come after it.

August 11 birthday personality
Both systems give the middle of Leo to Jupiter, so tradition reads the sign’s generosity at its widest: the host, the patron, the one who believes in other people out loud. Its caution is the promise made bigger than the purse.
Born on the 11th, you have a master number for a birthday, kept whole by the Almanac’s method: 11, read as intuition and inspiration, with 2 underneath it as its everyday form. Numerology treats it as a sensitive birthday that needs grounding as much as vision. Read through fire, the master 11 is the bright idea that sets others alight, and it asks for rest as much as for an audience.
A question to carry from August 11: what quiet hunch is your warmth asking you to test this year?
The Sun in Leo and the number 11 are only part of the story: your Moon, your rising sign and the rest of your chart have as much to say, and the tradition offers all this as a mirror, never a verdict.
Birthday number 11, a master number
Born on the 11th, your birthday number is 11 itself, a master number the Almanac keeps whole rather than reducing it to 2: an 11 vibration is a Master Number connected to intuition, inspiration, sensitivity, and vision, with vision and inspired perception as its gift and nervous intensity, overwhelm, or self-doubt as its strain. On an ordinary day the 11 is lived through its 2, and a 2 vibration supports sensitivity, partnership, diplomacy, and careful listening.
Your 2027 numbers
For a birthday on August 11 the house method reduces the birth month and the day on their own and adds the Universal Year of 2027, 11 (2 + 0 + 2 + 7 = 11, a master number kept whole), as it stands: August, the 8th month, gives 8, the 11th keeps its master 11, and 8 + 11 + 11 = 30, which reduces to 3, so 2027 is your Personal Year 3.
Numerology reads a Personal Year 3 as a year to express yourself, enjoy company and let creativity lead. In a Universal Year 11 the reading adds a note of inspiration, and a reminder to give the ideas a finished form.
Personal Months of 2027, a Personal Year 3: Jan 4 Feb 5 Mar 6 Apr 7 May 8 Jun 9 Jul 1 Aug 11 Sep 3 Oct 4 Nov 5 Dec 6
In 2027 August 11 falls on a Wednesday, the day the old reckoning gives to Mercury, and is a Personal Day 22 (11 + 11 = 22) in a Personal Month 11 (3 + 8 = 11), while August is a master month 11; the Personal Year itself turns on 1 January, not on the birthday.
August birthstone and birth flower
- Birthstones
- Peridot, spinel and sardonyx
- Birth flowers
- Gladiolus, and poppy as the second flower
August’s peridot, spinel and sardonyx come from the modern list (the Jewelers of America list of 1912, as since revised), and its gladiolus and poppy from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
