July birthdaysEvery day of the month: its sign, its famous birthdays and its 2027 numbers

The short answer

July birthdays are Cancer from July 1 to 22 and Leo from July 23 to 31, in most years. July 22 and July 23 are cusp days, when the Sun changed sign during the date in some years. The July birthstone is ruby, and its birth flowers are larkspur and water lily.

Every July birthday

Each date has its own page: the Sun’s sign for every year from 1940 to 2030, the decan, the day’s twelve best-known birthdays, its birthday number and its 2027 Personal Year. Each date below shows its usual sign; a gold edge marks a cusp day.
