Well, well, well, July 5th birthday, huh? That’s a day, I tell ya! My old bones don’t remember everything, but I know a thing or two about birthdays and what them stars say. If you was born on July 5th, you’re a Cancer. Yeah, that’s what they call it. Sounds kinda like a sickness, don’t it? But it ain’t. It just means you was born sometime between June 21 and July 22, give or take a day here or there, I don’t know them specifics, it depends on the year.

Now, these Cancers, they’re somethin’ else. They’re like a pot of water on the stove. Sometimes calm, sometimes about to boil over! You never quite know what you’re gonna get. One of my neighbor, her birthday is on July 5, yeah, she’s a Cancer. She’s always got somethin’ brewin’, some new idea or other. Keeps things lively, I suppose. She used to say she’s full of fun, always wants to try all that life can give to her.
July 5th birthday zodiac is Cancer, and they say Cancer is the fourth sign of the whole dang zodiac thing. Sun goes into Cancer when the summer solstice comes, when the days get the longest. That’s what I heard. Don’t ask me what a solstice is, just know it’s in the summer. And them Cancer folks, they like to live in the “now.” That’s what they say. Means they like to enjoy the moment, I reckon. Not always worryin’ about what’s comin’ next. But they also think about the future. They’re smart cookies, most of ’em. Shrewd, like a fox. Canny, too. My neighbor used to tell me she wants to live in the “now”, but she wants to do something great to be remembered in the future. I don’t quite understand, but I guess that’s what she wants.
July 5th birthday, you got a Crab as your symbol. Yeah, a crab. Don’t seem right to me, but who am I to judge? Them crabs, they walk sideways, don’t they? Maybe that means these Cancer folks are a little different. They look at things from a different angle, maybe. Not always straight on. They’re full of surprises, these July 5th birthday people.
Now, if you’re a July 5th birthday, you get along real good with some other folks and not so good with others. That’s just the way of the world, ain’t it? Like mixing oil and water, some things just don’t go together. They say you’ll get along with Virgos, and them Taurus folks. Don’t ask me why. Stars say so, I guess. And Scorpios, too. Sounds like a disease. And them Pisces. Whatever that is. Sounds like a fish to me.
- Virgos
- Taurus
- Scorpios
- Pisces
But you might have a hard time with them Leos. Sounds like a lion. Maybe that’s why, a crab and a lion? Wouldn’t be a good match, I reckon. Not much chance for a long friendship there. That old neighbor used to say there is little chance to be friends with Leos. I believe her.

July 5th birthday zodiac, it’s all a bit of a mystery to me. But I seen enough in my life to know that people are different. Some get along, some don’t. Some are quiet, some are loud. Some like to stir the pot, some like to keep things calm. And maybe that birthday has somethin’ to do with it. Or maybe it don’t. Who knows for sure? All I know is, if your birthday is July 5th, you are a Cancer. That’s a fact. And all them Cancers I know, they’re all different. But they all got somethin’ special about ’em. And them other zodiacs, them Virgos and Taurus and Scorpios, well, they’re probably all different, too.
I remember one time, back when I was a little girl, there was this old woman, she used to read the stars. She’d tell you what your sign was, and what it all meant. She charged a nickel, I think. Or maybe it was a dime. Anyway, she had this whole book full of stars and signs and whatnot. Looked like a bunch of gibberish to me. But some folks swore by it. Said she could predict the future. I don’t know about that. But I do know that folks born on July 5th, they got a little somethin’ extra in ’em. They’re lively, like a firecracker. And they’re full of surprises. And that’s about all I know about July 5th birthday. Just remember to enjoy your cake, no matter what day you was born!
