If your birthday was August 23rd, would you say you were a Leo or a Virgo?

I've always said I'm a Virgo (my birthday is August 23rd) but one of my astrology books lists Gene Kelly under "famous Leos", even though Gene Kelly's birthday was also August 23rd. If I'd written the book I'd have listed Gene Kelly under famous Virgos. Wouldn't you?

Probably. More horoscope lists put the 23rd in Virgo. That I have seen anyway. They typically have Virgo start on the 21st or 22nd.

@Myzery My birthday is August 23rd and I'm definitely a Virgo. I don't fit the Leo descriptions at all, while Virgo describes me far more accurately. So why did they put Gene Kelly in Leo?

@HeadGirl A Leo probably made the list and was upset that they couldn't find more notable Leos so they added a few extra days to the Leo timeline. 😂

@Myzery There are hundreds of famous Leos they could have mentioned who weren't on the list. Belinda Carlisle wasn't listed for a start, and I know she's a Leo, her birthday is the next day after Madonna (she was listed).
