In many ways a Leo, is a Leo, is a Leo, whether you are born in July or August. Some of the things that can change the characteristics of each are:
In addition, there are decans to consider. Decans divide each 30 degrees sign into 3 decans containing 10 degrees. For instance for the sign of Leo:
When we put all of this together, we see that the person born in the first 10 degrees of Leo has a double Leo/Sun signature, so that person would express strong Leonine qualities.
The person born in the next 10 degrees of Leo has the qualities of Leo plus the qualities of Sagittarius/Jupiter. That person would combine the qualities of Leo and Sagittarius in their Sun sign.
The person born in the last 10 degrees of Leo has the qualities of Leo plus the qualities of Aries/Mars. That person would combine the qualities of a Leo Sun with the qualities of an Aries Sun.
You can use the Decans for any Sun sign using the formula:
When you take all of these differences into consideration, two people born in the sign of Leo will have lots of characteristics in common, but can also be very, very different.
