Dates of your zodiac sign
Please consider the following question.
What are the dates of your zodiac sign?
Let's suppose I'm a Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
How can I answer the question?
1) They're from the twenty-third of July to the twenty-second of August.
2) They're from July the twenty-third to August the twenty-two.
3) They're between the twenty-third of July and the twenty-second of August.
Is there a way to say this, without using prepositions (from, two, between)?
Thank you.

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.

P.S. The dates indicate the range inside which one is a Leo.
