About the Virgo zodiac sign
Virgo — the Virgin (better translated as "the Maiden") — is the mutable earth sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mercury. Virgo energy is precise, service-oriented, and built for getting the detail right when others would shrug. Famous Virgos include Beyoncé, Keanu Reeves, Michael Jackson, Mother Teresa, and Stephen King. The Virgo signature is quiet competence and an internal standard most people never see.
How Virgo sun signs are determined
A Virgo Sun sign means someone was born when the Sun was in Virgo (August 23 - September 22). Mercury — Virgo's ruler — shapes the analytical signature; the sixth house (work, service, health) is also central to reading a Virgo chart.
