Born on 23 July: Star Sign, Birthstone and Birthday Facts

October 7, 2026

If your birthday is on 23 July, your star sign is Leo (the Lion, 23 July to 22 August), your birthstone is ruby and your birth flower is larkspur and water lily.

23 July is the 204th day of the year (the 205th in a leap year). In 2026 it falls on a Thursday, and in 2027 on a Friday.

23 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.
