July 26 birthday
July 26: Leo, in every year it has been checked.
Anyone born on July 26 has a Leo Sun. Across every one of the 106 years between 1930 and 2035, the Sun was in Leo for the whole of this calendar day — it never crossed a sign boundary on July 26 in that period, so the year and the birth time do not change the answer. The Sun sits in the first decan of Leo, ruled traditionally by Saturn.
106 years of July 26.
Each cell is one year, coloured by the sign the Sun occupied at noon UTC. There is nothing to see here, and that is the finding — this date has not changed sign once in 106 years.

The Moon on this date
12 of twelve signs, across 106 years.
The Moon covers the whole zodiac in about 27.3 days, so a calendar date tells you almost nothing about it. This is that fact as a measurement rather than as a claim.

What the sky actually did on July 26
Between 1930 and 2035 the Sun was in Leo for the entire July 26 in every single year. This date sits comfortably inside the sign rather than near its edge, so no birth time, year, or time zone moves it.
On July 26 2035 the Sun began the day at 2°53' Leo and ended it at 3°50' Leo, covering 0.9553° of ecliptic longitude. That figure is not constant either: the Earth's orbit is an ellipse, so the Sun's apparent daily motion ranges from roughly 0.953° near aphelion to 1.019° near perihelion.
- Census range: 1930–2035
- Years counted: 106
- Positions: apparent geocentric longitude, tropical zodiac
Where July 26 sits inside the sign
A sign is thirty degrees wide and traditionally divides into three ten-degree decans. July 26 falls in the first decan, 0°–10°, which the Chaldean sequence assigns to Saturn.
Decan rulership is a traditional interpretive convention, not a second sign. It is named here because it is derived from the same calculated degree as everything else on this page — and because the systems disagree: the triplicity method assigns a different ruler to this decan than the Chaldean order does. MyMysticDay states which convention it used instead of presenting one as the answer.
The part of the chart a birthday cannot tell you
The Moon covers the full zodiac in about 27.3 days, so it lands somewhere different on July 26 almost every year. Across the 106 years in this census it fell in 12 of the twelve signs on this date — which is the arithmetic reason no birthday page can tell you your Moon sign, including this one.
That matters more than it sounds. The Moon describes emotional regulation, needs, and instinct — the half of a chart most people recognise first. A date gives it away only to within twelve possibilities; a birth time and place give it exactly.
What a Leo Sun is taken to mean
With the arithmetic settled, the symbolism can start. Leo is The creator: the traditional motive is to bring a wholehearted inner vision into visible, generous form. At its most constructive that reads as warmth, creative confidence, loyalty, and the power to animate a room; under pressure it can become equating recognition with worth or protecting pride instead of the relationship.
A Sun sign describes the Sun's position and nothing else. It is one of roughly forty factors in a chart, and it is not a personality, a forecast, or an explanation of anybody's behaviour. Read it as a lens to test against your own experience rather than as a description to live up to.
- warmth, creative confidence, loyalty, and the power to animate a room
- personal, vivid, declarative, and strongest when the heart is genuinely involved
- creative agency and heartfelt recognition

The half a date cannot give you
One minute of birth time settles all three.
Sun, Moon and rising sign come out of the same calculation. On this date the Sun is settled, but the other two are not: both move too fast to be read off a calendar.
- Leo Sun The same sign in every year counted
- Moon sign Landed in 12 of 12 signs on this date
- Rising sign Changes every 2 hours
- One minute of birth time Settles all three at once
