Virgo Horoscope Dates: August 23 – September 22
The Virgo horoscope dates run from August 23 to September 22. If your birthday falls anywhere in that window, your Sun sign is Virgo — analytical, precise, and helpful — the zodiac’s problem-solver and perfectionist. Below you’ll find the exact Virgo dates, what happens if you were born on the cusp, the three decans of Virgo and how they shade your personality, plus a quick snapshot of the sign.

When does Virgo start and end?
Virgo season begins on August 23 and ends on September 22. You may see the dates listed a day earlier or later on other sites, and that’s not an error — the Sun doesn’t change signs at the same clock time every year, so the exact start and end can shift by about a day depending on the year and your time zone. For almost everyone, the August 23 to September 22 range is exactly right. If your birthday lands on the very first or very last day, read the cusp section below.
Were you born on the Virgo cusp?
Born right at the edge of Virgo? Then you were born on a cusp — the changeover point between two signs. The first day of Virgo (August 23) sits on the Leo–Virgo cusp, and the last day (September 22) sits on the Virgo–Libra cusp. Astrologically there’s no such thing as being “half and half,” though — you are still fully one sign or the other. The only way to know for certain is to check the exact moment the Sun changed signs in your birth year, because a birthday on the boundary can fall under either sign depending on the year and the hour you were born. If you were born on August 23 or September 22, a quick birth-chart lookup will settle it for good.
The three decans of Virgo
Every sign is divided into three decans of roughly ten days, each with a sub-ruler that adds its own flavour to the core Virgo personality. Here’s where you fall:
- First decan (August 23–September 1): the purest expression of Virgo, doubly ruled by Mercury — the most classic Virgo traits.
- Second decan (September 2–11): shaded by Capricorn (sub-ruled by Saturn), adding a Capricorn twist to your Virgo core.
- Third decan (September 12–22): shaded by Taurus (sub-ruled by Venus), adding a Taurus twist to your Virgo core.
Virgo personality in brief
As a earth mutable sign ruled by Mercury, Virgo is analytical, precise, and helpful — the zodiac’s problem-solver and perfectionist. That’s the short version — for the full breakdown of Virgo traits, strengths and weaknesses, love and compatibility, the Virgo man and woman, career, and mythology, read the complete Virgo zodiac sign guide.
