The Second Decan of Leo (roughly July 23 – August 1)
Traditional astrology divides each sign into three 10-degree decans, each with its own planetary sub-ruler:
- 1st decan (0°–9° Leo) → Sun/Sun — pure, undiluted Leo
- 2nd decan (10°–19° Leo) → Jupiter/Sagittarius — expansive, generous, philosophical Leo
- 3rd decan (20°–29° Leo) → Mars/Aries — courageous, pioneering, sometimes combative Leo
July 27 falls at approximately 3–4° Leo in most years (the exact degree shifts slightly due to precession and leap years), placing it squarely in the Jupiter-ruled second decan.
What Jupiter adds:
- Natural optimism and faith in life
