July 24 zodiac sign: Leo

Sun sign: Leo
Sun at noon UTC: 0.7° to 2.1° Leo
Decan: First of Leo, 0° to 10°
Element and mode: Fire, fixed
Ruling planet: The Sun

At noon UTC on July 24 the Sun is in Leo in every one of the 91 years from 1940 to 2030, between 0.7° and 2.1° of the sign, but in 14 of those years, most recently 1983, it had entered Leo only late on the day before, counted in UTC, so a birth in the first hours of July 24 in a time zone east of Greenwich, such as Europe’s, Asia’s or Australia’s, can still have the Sun in Cancer. For a birth on July 24 the year, the time and the place settle the sign: convert the time of birth to UTC and compare it with the minute the Sun changed sign that year, or let the zodiac sign calculator do it from your date, time and city.

At noon UTC on July 24 the Sun is in the first decan of Leo, 0° to 10°, in every one of those years, a face that belongs to Saturn in the Chaldean order and is read through Leo, ruled by the Sun, by triplicity; in most years the decan runs from July 23 to August 1, and July 24 is its second day.

In most years July 24 is the 2nd day of the Sun’s season in Leo, which runs from July 23 to August 22 counted at noon UTC, with 29 days of it still to come. July 24 is the 205th day of a common year and the 206th of a leap year, with 160 days of the year still to come after it.

July 24 birthday personality

Saturn opens Leo in the Chaldean scheme while the Sun keeps it by triplicity, a pairing the old books read as dignity under discipline: the heir who has to earn the crown. The warmth is real here, and so is the weight of wanting to do everything properly.

Born on the 24th, 2 and 4 make 6: cooperation and structure becoming care. Numerology reads it as a devoted birthday, for people who make homes and keep their promises. In a fire sign the 6 is read as a warm, protective household, the one where everyone is welcome and no one is left out.

Where Cancer gives way to Leo the private heart steps onto the stage, care meeting confidence. Some readers take a birthday this close to the change to carry something of both signs, a symbolic reading the calculation cannot measure; which sign the Sun was in at a birth is a matter of fact, settled by the year, the time and the place.

A question to carry from July 24: how could your warmth care for others this month without neglecting yourself?

The Sun in Leo and the number 6 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 6

Born on the 24th, 2 + 4 = 6, so your birthday number is 6: a 6 vibration supports love, responsibility, beauty, family, and service, with care, beauty, and responsibility as its gift and over-giving, perfectionism, or control through care as its strain.

For a birthday on July 24 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: July, the 7th month, gives 7, the 24th reduces to 6, and 7 + 6 + 11 = 24, which reduces to 6, so 2027 is your Personal Year 6.

A Personal Year 6 is read as a year of home, family and responsibility, of love that shows itself in care. Under the Universal Year 11 the reading turns that care toward healing and toward a community wider than the household.

Personal Months of 2027, a Personal Year 6: Jan 7 Feb 8 Mar 9 Apr 1 May 11 Jun 3 Jul 4 Aug 5 Sep 6 Oct 7 Nov 8 Dec 9

In 2027 July 24 falls on a Saturday, the day the old reckoning gives to Saturn, and is a Personal Day 1 (4 + 24 = 28, then 1) in a Personal Month 4 (6 + 7 = 13, then 4), while May is a master month 11; the Personal Year itself turns on 1 January, not on the birthday.

July birthstone and birth flower

Birthstone: Ruby
Birth flowers: Larkspur, and water lily as the second flower

July’s ruby comes from the modern list (the Jewelers of America list of 1912, as since revised), and its larkspur and water lily from The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
