Sun in Virgo: what it means
The Sun is in Virgo from about August 23 to September 22. Virgo is a mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury. Earth signs deal in what is practical and can be touched. Mutable signs adjust as things change.
What a Virgo Sun is like
Details speak to you. You see the typo, the loose hinge, the step everyone skipped, and you feel a small itch until it is fixed. Being useful is how you show up in the world; you would rather solve a problem than be praised for a personality. Your standards are high and you apply them hardest to yourself, running a private commentary on what could have gone better. Rest comes more easily once the list is done, which means the list has a way of never ending.
Greatest strength
Turning a mess into a working system, patiently and without fuss, is the quiet skill others rely on.
Where it stretches you
Letting something be good enough, yourself included, loosens a knot you have carried for a long time.
Virgo Sun in love
Practical acts are your love notes: fixing, reminding, noticing what a partner needs before they ask. Criticism can slip out dressed as care, and receiving help is harder for you than giving it.
Virgo Sun at work
Accuracy is your edge, in analysis, editing, craft or any service role. You improve whatever you touch, but can lose hours polishing something that was already fine.
Is Sun in Virgo really yours?
The Sun enters Virgo around August 23 and leaves around September 22. The exact minute moves from year to year, so if you were born within a day or two of either date, a calendar cannot tell you which side you are on. A calculated chart can.

What the Sun means in a chart
In a birth chart the Sun describes the centre of your character: what you are working to become, where you want to be seen, and what restores your energy. It is the sign most people mean when they say "my sign". It is also only one of about a dozen points in a chart, which is why two people with the same Sun sign can be so different.
One placement is never the whole picture. A full reading weighs the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign, every planet, the houses they fall in and the angles between them. You can read a complete sample reading to see how the pieces fit together.
