Born on July 31
Your Sun is in Leo, about 8° in — the first decan, where Leo's core takes on a Saturn flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.
Your sign: Leo
The fixed fire sign that brings warmth and refuses to be small.
A Leo Sun puts the Sun in its own sign — your core identity is amplified, radiant, and visible. You generate energy that other people warm themselves on. The friend whose laugh fills the room, the colleague who turns a project into something people are proud to be part of, the host who makes a dinner party an actual event — that's you, in your element.

Your decan: the first decan of Leo
Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 0–10 of Leo belong to Saturn: where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery. Read it as Leo with a Saturn accent — the fire core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.
Five of Wands
Competition · Conflict · Tension. The card assigned to this ten-degree slice of the zodiac — a birthday card in the same sense a sun sign is a birthday sign: one lens on the date, not a verdict.

The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Leos born on July 31 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

Common questions
What zodiac sign is July 31?
July 31 is Leo, the fixed fire sign ruled by Sun. The Sun sits at roughly 8° Leo on this date, in the first decan.
What decan is July 31?
The first decan of Leo (0°–10°), sub-ruled by Saturn. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here where you face limitation and, through facing it, build mastery.
What tarot card is July 31?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the first decan of Leo it is the Five of Wands (competition, conflict, tension). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
Does everyone born on July 31 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Leo, but the Moon changes sign every two to three days, the rising sign every two hours, and the outer planets by year. Two people born July 31 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
