Times are universal time — convert your birth time before reading your year.

Nearly every August 24 on record is Virgo — the table above gives the whole day to Virgo in all but two years since 1940. In those two, the Sun was still finishing Leo as the day opened, and only a birth in the hours before the crossing comes out Leo. So the honest headline: you are almost certainly a Virgo, and the table plus a birth time will close the almost.

Virgo, with an afterglow of Leo

The Virgo Sun at the sign’s very start carries its mission plainly: notice, refine, be of use. But Suns born this close to a boundary often keep a trace of the sign just departed — a Leo Sun’s ease with warmth and visibility that first-degree Virgos born later in the week don’t always show. The type: meticulous work, presented without apology, by someone who can hold the room while explaining the fix.

Care that notices, warmth that shows

In love this birthday runs Virgo’s quiet devotion — the refilled prescription, the remembered errand — with a Leo streak that actually enjoys saying it out loud now and then. Partners get practical care that isn’t shy about the occasional bouquet-sized statement. At work it’s the craftsperson who can also present: exacting standards, human delivery. Roles that are all backstage underuse the warmth; roles that are all stage starve the precision.

The modesty-pride seesaw

The friction is a seesaw between Virgo’s deflection and the leftover Leo wish to be recognized: praise gets batted away, and then its absence quietly stings. People around this date receive contradictory signals — don’t fuss over me; why did nobody notice. The growth edge is receiving a compliment at face value, out loud, without an audit or an encore.

For nearly every year the table above says Virgo without hesitating. If yours is one of the split pair — or curiosity runs deeper than one sign — compute the chart and take the degree, the Moon, and the rooms along with it.

The date, answered

What zodiac sign is August 24?

Leo or Virgo — this date sits on the boundary. In 0 of the years from 1940 to 2030 the whole day belonged to Leo; in 89 it belonged to Virgo; in 2 the Sun crossed over during the day. The year table above gives your answer, and a birth chart settles it to the minute.

What time does the sign change on August 24?

In years when the ingress lands on August 24, it falls between 00:09 and 00:54 universal time. In the other years the whole day is one sign. Convert your birth time to UTC before reading the table.

Which sign should I read?

Check your birth year in the table. If your year is a split year, the deciding fact is your birth time converted to universal time — or skip the table and compute your chart, which reads the Sun's exact degree for your birth moment.

What degree is the Sun on August 24?

Between 0°26′ Virgo and 1°51′ Virgo at noon universal time, depending on the year — the calendar drifts about a quarter degree per year against the Sun and resets on leap years. Your exact degree needs your birth date, year, and time.

The date gives you the Sun. The rest takes a chart.
