About the 3rd Decanate of Leo

The 3rd decanate of Leo (August 13 - August 22) is sub-ruled by Mars. This means Mars's energy colors your Leo Sun, adding a distinctive flavor to how you express your sign's core qualities. Each sign is divided into three decanates of 10 degrees each, and your decanate ruler acts as a secondary influence that makes your birthday unique within the broader Leo archetype.

Your Sun sits at approximately 27° Leo. The specific degree can shift by a day depending on the year you were born, since the Sun's exact position varies slightly from year to year. For a precise degree, calculate your full birth chart.
