Virgo Dates: Aug 23 – Sep 22 — When Is Virgo Season?
Virgo dates are August 23 to September 22, so if your birthday falls in that span, you are a Virgo. This page gives you the dates first, in plain words, and then walks through traits, love, work, and cusp birthdays. You can also read the full Virgo profile for more depth on the sign.
Virgo season comes at the end of summer. The heat starts to ease, school and work pick up pace, and life asks for order once more. It is a time to sort, to plan, and to fix the small things. Many people feel clear and ready to start fresh in these weeks.
One thing to know up front: birthdays near the start or end need care. If you were born on August 22, August 23, September 22, or September 23, you sit near a changeover day. The cusp section below explains that in full, so do not guess from one chart on the web.

Virgo Dates, Day by Day
Virgo runs from August 23 to September 22 each year. August 23 is the first day of Virgo, and September 22 is the last day. That gives the sign about four full weeks at the turn of the seasons. If your birthday is well inside this span, your sign is clear and there is no doubt at all.
The dates can shift by one day in some years. That is why one site may say August 22 and an other may say August 23 for the start. The Sun does not move on a fixed clock, and its move takes place at a set hour, not at midnight. The table below shows the days at both ends, so you can see where your birthday sits.
If your birthday is on a boundary day, read the cusp part with care. It tells you why the year you were born, and the time of day, can tip the answer one way or the other. You can jump to it here: Born on the cusp?
| Day | Sign | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Aug 22 | Leo | The last day before Virgo starts. It sits in the cusp window, so the birth year matters. |
| Aug 23 | Virgo | The first day of Virgo. This is the usual start date in most years. |
| Sep 22 | Virgo | The last day of Virgo. It sits in the cusp window, so the birth year matters. |
| Sep 23 | Libra | The first day of Libra. Virgo season has ended by this day. |
Virgo Personality Traits
You have a sharp mind and a keen eye for detail. You spot the small error, the loose thread, and the step that was missed. That skill makes you the person others trust to get things right. You do not show off about it. You just fix the thing and move on with your day.
You are kind in a practical way. You show love by helping: you fix, you sort, you remind, and you show up on time. Grand words mean less to you than real acts. The people close to you know this well. They know your care is true, since you prove it again and again in small ways.
You hold your self to a high bar, and that can be both a gift and a load. You want your work to be good, and you want your life in order. The trick for you is rest. Not all things need to be perfect to be good. A calm Virgo, at ease with a small flaw, is a joy to be near.

Virgo in Love and Compatibility
In love, you are loyal, kind, and true. You may take time to choose a partner, since you look close and think it through. Once you choose, you mean it with your whole heart. You show love in acts: you help, you plan, and you recall the small things that matter to them. You need a partner who sees that care for what it is. Kind words and thanks mean a lot to you, even if you act shy when you hear them.

Virgo at Work
You do well in work where care, skill, and detail count. That can be health, research, editing, tech, or any craft done well. You like clear tasks, fair rules, and time to do the job right. A team that values quality over speed is a good fit for you, and your work tends to be the best in the room.
You work best when your day has order and your goals are clear. Mess, noise, and last minute chaos wear you out fast. You plan ahead, keep good notes, and leave things better than you found them. Over time, bosses learn that your word is solid gold. That trust brings you more say, more pay, and work you can be proud of.
Born on the Cusp?
A cusp is the changeover point between two signs. It is the moment the Sun leaves one sign and enters the next. If your birthday sits right at that point, people say you were born on the cusp. That phrase sounds grand, but the idea is quite simple.
The first window is August 22 to August 23, on the Leo side. If you were born then, some charts will call you Leo and some will call you Virgo. Leo is bold and bright, while Virgo is calm and detail based. You may feel a mix of both in your style and your work. But you are one sign, not two, and the facts of your birth settle which one.
The second window is September 22 to September 23, on the Libra side. If you were born then, some charts will call you Virgo and some will call you Libra. Libra is social and grace based, while Virgo is neat and practical. A blend can feel real in day to day life. It still does not change your one true sign, which a birth chart can confirm for you.
Here is why it shifts. The Sun moves from one sign to the next at one exact moment. That moment moves by some hours each year. So in one year the move may fall late on August 22, and in the next year it may fall on August 23. The same is true at the September end of the sign. That is why the birth year and the birth time settle it. A chart made for your year, with your birth time and place, gives the true answer.
Here is the soft truth to hold on to. You are one sign, not two signs at once. A cusp birth can make your traits feel mixed, and that is fine and common. Read the sign that your birth chart confirms, and use the other sign as a hint of flavour in your style. That gives you a clear base with no need to guess.
