Virgo at a Glance

When Does Virgo Start and End?

Virgo season begins on August 23 and ends on September 22. You may see these dates listed a day earlier or later on other sites — 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, August 23–September 22 is exactly right. Born right on the edge? See the cusp section below.

Were You Born on the Virgo Cusp?

Born right at the edge of Virgo? You were born on a cusp — the changeover point between two signs. August 23 sits on the Leo–Virgo cusp; September 22 sits on the Virgo–Libra cusp. Astrologically, there’s no such thing as being “half and half” — you’re 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, since a boundary birthday can fall under either sign depending on the year and hour you were born.

The Three Decans of Virgo

Every sign divides into three decans of roughly ten days, each with a sub-ruler that shades the core personality:

• First decan (August 23–September 1): ruled twice over by Mercury — the purest, most classic Virgo expression.
• Second decan (September 2–11): shaded by Saturn (Capricorn), adding discipline and seriousness.
• Third decan (September 12–22): shaded by Venus (Taurus), adding warmth and a stronger pull toward beauty and relationships.

Virgo Personality in Brief

As an earth, mutable sign ruled by Mercury, Virgo is analytical, practical, and detail-oriented — the zodiac’s fixer.

• Strengths: analytical, reliable, organized, modest, deeply loyal once committed
• Weaknesses: overcritical, prone to worry, uneasy with downtime, can slip into perfectionism

Virgo Compatibility Snapshot

Virgo pairs most naturally with fellow earth sign Taurus and Capricorn — shared values around stability and hard work — plus water signs Cancer and Scorpio, who bring emotional depth Virgo can support in practical ways. Virgo and Pisces, sitting opposite each other on the wheel, often balance well precisely because they’re so different — Pisces brings imagination, Virgo brings grounding. Virgo and Gemini share ruling planet Mercury, so conversation flows easily, though Gemini’s spontaneity can clash with Virgo’s need for order. Gemini and Sagittarius tend to need the most patience as matches. For a full compatibility reading, try the Love Compatibility Calculator.
