What the season is about
Virgo season is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. It runs from late August to the September equinox.
It is a month for craft and order. Routines get rebuilt, details get checked, and small improvements add up to a better autumn.
The risk is fussing over everything. Decide which details matter and let the rest be good enough.

Questions, answered
When does Virgo season start?
The Sun enters Virgo on August 23, 2027, 08:14 UTC and leaves on September 23, 2027, 06:01 UTC, about 31 days later. The page shows both moments in your own time zone.
Why do the Virgo dates change from year to year?
The usual Virgo dates are an average. The calendar year is not a whole number of days long, so the moment the Sun crosses into Virgo drifts by some hours each year and can land on a neighbouring date, depending on your time zone as well.
What if I was born on the first or last day of Virgo season?
Your Sun sign depends on the exact moment of your birth, not on the average dates. A birth chart with your birth time settles it.
What does “Reading confidence 40%” mean?
It says how specific a reading is. A line written for a Sun sign alone, with no date or birth time, carries 40%. It is not the chance that something happens.
