The Sun on August 22, year by year

These positions are all calculated for 12:00 UT. The degree changes between years, even when the sign stays the same.

Positions are shown to the arcminute. A birth before or after noon has a different degree. UT and your local calendar date can differ.

Reading Sun in Leo

Sun in Leo is associated with expressing something you want others to recognize as your own. That might be creative work or a decision you are willing to defend. Appreciation can encourage that confidence; relying on approval can make it fragile.

Leo is fixed fire. Fire concerns personal direction; fixed describes sustaining it. In a Sun reading, this combination gives attention to maintaining a recognizable purpose after the excitement of beginning has passed.

Recognition can help someone understand the effect of their contribution. Dependence on applause can make that contribution harder to judge on its own terms. This distinction is more useful than assuming a Leo Sun is always confident or wants an audience.

This lesson follows the noon reference position. Confirm your personal Sun sign before applying it to your chart.

The same birthday can produce different charts

The Moon and other planets move independently of the Sun. People born on August 22 in different years can have different Moon signs and planetary aspects.

Birth time and location also change the Ascendant and houses. Astriel uses Placidus: the Sun's house follows its position between calculated cusps. Its zodiac sign alone cannot supply a house number.

If the birth time is unknown, choose that option in the calculator. A date crossing a sign boundary can leave the Sun sign unresolved; houses remain unavailable.
