Aug 22 – Sep 22

♍ Virgo

Earth · Mutable · ruled by Mercury

Notices the one thing that is off and cannot unsee it.

precise
helpful
self-critical
practical

Virgos fix problems before anyone else spots them, which is generous right up until it reads as criticism — the intent is almost always care, badly disguised as a checklist. Give them a real job and they'll outwork the room.

Those dates aren’t fixed

Aug 22 – Sep 22 is the usual printed range, but the Sun crosses into Virgo at a different hour every year — sometimes a full day earlier or later. If your birthday sits at either end of that range, check it properly rather than trusting the table.

The other chart

Every Virgo reads the same. That’s the limitation.

A sun sign uses one fact about your birth. Saju, the Korean birth chart, uses the year, month, day and hour, and weighs them as five elements — so two Virgos born a week apart come out nothing alike.
