The Short Answer
Leo is usually the zodiac sign for people born from July 23 through August 22. In month terms, Leo covers the final part of July and most of August.
If your birthday falls near the edge of the range, especially July 22-23 or August 22-23, use an exact birth chart before treating the simplified date range as final.

Why Leo Dates Can Vary
Popular astrology lists signs by calendar dates, but the Sun changes signs at an exact astronomical moment. That moment does not happen at midnight everywhere.
This is why a person born on a cusp date should use birth year, time, and location. Most people in the Leo date range are clearly Leo, but cusp birthdays deserve more precision.
