July 22 is a changeover day. At noon UTC across the 41 years from 1992 to 2032, the Sun was in Cancer in 33 years and Leo in 8 years.
The Sun moved from Cancer into Leo on July 22 in 28 of those years. The latest time in this span is 22 July 2032 at 06:04 UTC. That minute is the same tropical crossing the zodiac calculator uses. A birth city changes which clock time it falls on.
Leo dates are July 23 to August 22. It is a fire sign, fixed, ruled by Sun. Cancer is the sign just before it. Warm, proud, happiest creating or performing.
July 22 sits within two days of a sign change on July 23. If the birth was late on this date, check the year in the calculator rather than the printed range.
In 2024 at noon UTC, the Sun on July 22 is in the first decan of Leo, the early 10 degrees of the sign. The triplicity sub-ruler of that slice is Sun.
The constellation behind the Sun on July 22 is Cancer. That is the true place of the Sun in the stars, and it is a separate fact from the astrological sign.
Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars still need a birth time and place. This page only settles the Sun sign.

Questions
What zodiac sign is July 22?
July 22 can be Cancer or Leo. The Sun's tropical longitude at noon UTC is the same 30 degree sign the zodiac calculator reports for a 12:00 UTC birth. In some years from 1992 to 2032 the sign changes on this date, so the year and the clock decide. Confirm the minute in the calculator.
Is July 22 a cusp birthday?
Yes. A cusp here means the Sun crosses a sign boundary on or near July 22 in the years we checked. The crossing minute comes from the same engine as the calculator, not from a printed range. Your city and clock can place the birth in either sign. The year table lists noon UTC for each year.
What is the July 22 star sign?
People searching for the July 22 star sign usually mean the Sun sign. On this page that is Cancer, a water sign, cardinal, ruled by Moon, in the early decan with Sun as the triplicity sub-ruler. Cancer dates are June 21 to July 22. The constellation behind the Sun is a separate fact.
