About Virgo

Virgo is the sign that astrologers link with detail, service and order. Its people are described as careful and modest, with a sharp eye for what can be improved.

Reliability, a practical mind and a strong sense of duty are the strengths named for Virgo. The weak side is worry: a Virgo can be hard on itself and on others.

Decan and Sun position

In 2026, the Sun is at 7°42′ Virgo at noon on 31 August in the time zone of Sydney. A decan is a part of 10 degrees, and each sign has three. In the traditional system, a decan adds the character of the sign of the same element that goes with it. The first decan belongs to Virgo itself, so its traits show most clearly.

The Sun in the sky on 31 August
