What are the dates of your zodiac sign?

July 23rd and August 22nd

The question is not precisely formulated, so why worry about a precisely formulated answer?

The question is: How can I answer the question?
Then I propose three possible answers and ask if they're acceptable.
Finally I ask if there's a different way to answer the question that doesn't imply the use of prepositions.
Thank you
P.S. The dates indicate the range inside which one is a Leo.

The question is: How can I answer the question? I gave you my answer.

Then I propose three possible answers and ask if they're acceptable.You didn't ask that explicitly.

Finally I ask if there's a different way to answer the question that doesn't imply the use of prepositions. I gave you my answer.

Your 3 answers are OK. 1 and 2 are better than 3.
You might like to add the word 'inclusive' at the end, if you want to be really clear.

OK, now I see your point. I thought my request was not clear enough. Thank you for your reply.
