Born on 22 July: Star Sign, Birthstone and Birthday Facts

October 7, 2026

If your birthday is on 22 July, your star sign is Cancer (the Crab, 21 June to 22 July), your birthstone is ruby and your birth flower is larkspur and water lily.

22 July is the 203rd day of the year (the 204th in a leap year). In 2026 it falls on a Wednesday, and in 2027 on a Thursday.

22 July is close to the change of star sign, so some people born today read the neighbouring sign too. The exact cut-off shifts slightly from year to year.
