Saturn narrows and hardens the sign, making it slower to commit and more durable once it has. In its first ten degrees Leo shows in its rawest form: Cancer has only just handed over, and nothing of the new sign has worn down yet.
Personality
July 28 birthday personality
People born on July 28 are Leo, and the sign is read as warmth, presence and the need to be seen doing it. Genuinely generous, and lifts the mood of a room by walking into it.
The 28th reduces to 1 and combines 2 (partnership) with 8 (authority). Numerologists read it as independent leadership that knows how to work with other people: those born on this day are ambitious and self-directed, yet they build alliances and understand group dynamics better than most 1s.
