Leo and Virgo: the two signs of August 22

Friendship reads differently in these signs. Leo, a fixed fire sign belonging to the Sun, is the one who hosts: it picks the date, books the long table and remembers who sat where at the last party. Money goes on the group, a round of drinks or a bigger gift than anyone expected. Its everyday habit is to make things an occasion, and it keeps its friends for years.

Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, and it shows care with errands. The Virgo reading is the friend who brings the spare charger and notices the label that is peeling. It plans in lists, saves in small steady amounts and keeps a tidy home with a place for the keys. Where Leo shows up with a toast, Virgo shows up on time with exactly what was needed.

Why does my August 22 baby book say Virgo?

A birthday card lists August 22, 1955 under Virgo. The Sun, however, was in Leo for all of that day in Eastern time, and across all of 1930 through 1959.

To check yours, look up the row for your birth year. When it says Leo all day, a Virgo label on the card is a rounded date and your Sun sign is Leo.

What time does the Sun enter Virgo on August 22?

10:55 a.m. (2024) is the earliest the Sun has reached Virgo on this date, and 11:46 p.m. (1989) the latest. Evening is the favorite slot: 16 of the 28 changes fell after 6 p.m., 10 between noon and 6, 2 before noon and 0 overnight.

When Virgo comes on August 22, it takes only the last stretch, so anyone born before 10:55 a.m. was a Leo in each year of the count.

10 out of 10, then a slow shift

10 of 10 August 22s in the 1950s were Leo all day, and the 1930s and 1940s scored the same. The 1960s dropped to 7, the 2000s to 4, and the 2020s count 1 so far.

That lone whole-day Leo year in the 2020s is 2023: Virgo started at 5:01 a.m., already August 23. Every other year of the 2020s changed signs on the 22nd itself.
