Are you sure you are Leo and Libra?
Sun-sign dates shift by a day or two from year to year, so the ranges printed on most sites — including the conventional Jul 23 – Aug 22 in the summary above — are a rounded average, not the real boundary. Leo season has begun on 2 different calendar days since 1930, and the Sun last actually entered Leo on the conventional date in 2011. If either birthday falls near a boundary, check the exact year below — and if it is the boundary day itself, the free birth chart settles it to the minute.
