Virgo

August 23 at 02:19 AM — September 23 at 12:05 AM

The Sun does not enter Virgo at the same moment every year. Across the years covered here the boundary moves by 35.6 hours, landing on day 22/23/24 of the month depending on the year — which is why a fixed table names the wrong sign for some people.

About Virgo

As a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, Virgo is traditionally associated with the classification, analysis, and refinement of material processes. The earth element grounds the sign in physical reality, practical utility, and tangible results, while the mutable modality introduces adaptability, a capacity for adjustment, and a focus on transition. Astrological tradition links this sign with service, systematic organisation, and the discrimination between useful and superfluous elements. Its mercurial rulership emphasises intellectual processing, communication, and technical skill, manifesting as a methodical approach to problem-solving and a preference for order within functional systems.
