Birthday reading
Born on August 22
If you were born on August 22, your Sun is in Leo. That is the sign the Sun was travelling through on this date, and it is the first line of any birth chart.

One honest note: the Sun changes sign very close to this date. In every year we checked, 1950 to 2049, it was in Leo by the middle of August 22, but a birth late in the day in some years can still fall in Virgo. A chart drawn with your year and time settles it exactly.
Your Sun in Leo
A Leo Sun often describes someone who lights up when they can create, play, and be truly seen. You tend to draw energy from praise that feels honest, from making something you are proud of, and from time with people who enjoy your company. Being ignored or stuck doing dull work in the background can flatten you. You may find your confidence grows when you share what you make. Generosity is often part of the picture too, since cheering others on tends to lift you as well.
