If you were born on August 22, your Sun may be in Leo or Virgo: it depends on the year, time and birth time zone.

Computed: Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 9:51 AM (UTC). Display zone: UTC.

Ranges computed over the whole local day in 1950–2030, not an exact natal position. Another time zone can move the crossing to an adjacent date. Chaldean decans: three 10° sectors, with traditional rulers cycling Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter.

In Leo, the Sun wants to leave a visible signature and share the warmth of what it creates.

Generosity enjoys being seen. With the Sun in Leo, personal expression seeks a stage, however small, where enthusiasm and creativity receive a response. Pride supports loyalty, but also makes the feeling of going unnoticed particularly sensitive, even among people whose affection is real.

The Sun in Virgo finds identity in skill that improves something specific, even without an audience.

The misplaced detail catches your eye immediately. The Sun in Virgo combines practicality, modesty and critical judgment: understanding how something works matters more than making an impression. Perfectionism often begins with a sincere wish to do good work and make yourself useful.
