It’s July, which means the dog days of summer are upon us. With that recognizable fiery-red hue, the ruby perfectly represents the hottest month of the year. If it’s a hot month, wait until we introduce the two zodiac signs of July: the fiery Leos and the tender Cancers of July. Get ready for some beachy birthdays and fun summer nights celebrating these girlies, because it’s a wild ride when keeping up with summer-born babes. Though the two signs seem pretty different personality types on the outside, they tend to be two sides of the same ruby. Rubies have been catching the eyes of everyone from artists to royalty since we’ve been able to set them in precious metals. Sought after for their durability and jaw-dropping beauty, they’ve been set into royal crowns and religious relics for centuries. Their mesmerizing red tones brighten up any outfit and are a stunning addition to any look, but they seem particularly bright when worn by a July-born Leo or Cancer.
Girls born at the beginning and middle of July have the zodiac sign of Cancer – a sign that is mostly known for being compassionate and in touch with their emotions. July Cancers tend to be a little bit different from their June counterparts, however. They are known for being a little more mysterious and keep their feelings close to the chest, which is a bit of a departure from the June Cancers who wear their hearts on their sleeves. The ruby encapsulates this mystery, with the mesmerizing deep, dark hues giving an enigmatic feel to any piece of ruby jewelry. Leos, on the other hand, are quintessential fire signs and find apt symbolism in the fiery look of an illuminated ruby. July Leos in particular tend to be complete naturals on the center stage and catch the attention of everyone around them. They are never afraid of the spotlight and a well-placed ruby statement piece will only add to the bright inner shine of a July-born Leo.
