Zodiac sign for every day in August
On the days marked „Cusp“, the Sun moves from one sign into the next. Then your exact birth time decides which zodiac sign applies.
The August zodiac signs in detail
Self-expression, generosity of heart, radiance. As a Leo, you are the Sun of the zodiac — quite literally. You are creative expression itself, the radiance, the king or queen of your own realm.
Precision, service, analysis. As a Virgo, you are the soul's craftsperson. Mercury in an earth sign gives you an analytical mind that takes things apart into their components and reassembles them better than before.
Born in August: two zodiac signs, one month
If you were born in August, you belong either to Leo or to Virgo — two signs that could hardly be more different. Leo (until around August 23) seeks expression, wants to be seen, and steps outward with warmth and natural ease, while Virgo (from around August 23) prefers to analyze, refine, and prove herself through practical action rather than the grand gesture. If you were born on or near August 23, you cannot determine your sign from the date alone, because the exact shift moves by hours depending on the year. Here the precise birth time decides whether the Sun was still in the fire sign Leo or had already entered the earth sign Virgo — and that makes a noticeable difference to your fundamental orientation.
