1st decan of Leo: Saturn
Each sign is divided into three decans, 10° slices that the Sun crosses in about ten days each. July 27 falls in the first decan of Leo (about July 23 – August 1), which the traditional Chaldean system assigns to Saturn. Astrologers say that adds discipline, patience and a serious streak.
Saturn brings structure and a long view. People from this decan often mature early and are willing to work slowly toward something that lasts.

What zodiac sign is July 27?
July 27 falls in Leo, which runs from July 23 to August 22 in the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year, so the boundary can fall a day or so either side of these dates. If you were born close to the edge, your birth year, time and place decide it.
Is July 27 a cusp birthday?
Not by the usual definition, which counts the first and last couple of days of a sign. July 27 is day 5 of Leo season, so it is normally read as a clear Leo birthday.
Which decan is July 27?
July 27 is in the first decan of Leo (July 23 – August 1). In the traditional Chaldean system this decan is ruled by Saturn, which astrologers say adds its own flavour to Leo. Some modern astrologers assign decan rulers by element instead, which gives different planets, and decans are strictly 10° slices of the zodiac, so the date range is approximate.
What are the birthstone and flower for July?
The modern birthstone for July is Ruby and the birth flower is the larkspur. These come from calendar tradition rather than astrology, and the lists vary by country and source.
