8 Fascinating Facts About Your July Baby

Summer babies are already pretty lucky. They do not have to worry about their birthday parties being overshadowed by major holidays, plus there is all that gorgeous weather! But July babies are especially lucky. According to some studies, July babies may have some advantages over the rest of us thanks to all that extra sunlight giving them vitamin D in their tender first months, which helps them to grow up healthier and even taller. Here are a few more fun facts about your July babe…

July babies’ horoscope sign is Cancer or Leo.

If your July baby is born between July 1 and July 22nd then they are a Cancer, which is the cardinal water sign and is represented by the crab. If your baby is born between July 23rd and 31st then he or she is a Leo.

Ruled by the moody moon, Cancers are compassionate, very sensitive, and loving…but watch out! Cancer babies tend to withdraw emotionally (so that’s Mom or Dad’s cue to give them lots of tools to learn how to cope with those big feelings). They’re thought to be natural nurturers (Cancer is considered to be the mother of the zodiac), so don’t be surprised if your July baby’s favorite toy is a doll or lovey they can tenderly care for. Little crabs are often homebodies who care deeply about their space (that means those special touches you put on the nursery for your July baby will be extra appreciated!).

More About Your Baby’s Leo Zodiac Sign

The sign of the bright and brazen sun, Leos are loyal, confident, and full of charisma, which is no doubt why the sign is represented by the regal lion. (Perhaps your cub will thrive in a toddler dance or music class someday!) And while Leos bask in the shiny spotlight of attention from others, they can get cranky when that light is moved away from them. That doesn’t mean your little Leo is going to be a diva—on the contrary, this sign is believed to be incredibly generous by nature (that bodes well for teaching sharing!).
