Dates and signs on this page follow the tropical zodiac used by sun-sign horoscopes. The Sanskrit name is the Vedic sign of the same name, which is calculated against the stars instead and can differ for any given birthday.
Character
Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, which makes it analytical, observant and quietly capable. Virgos notice details others miss, like to know how things work, and feel most at ease when they are being useful. The sign has a reputation for perfectionism, and it is true that its standards are high, usually highest of all for itself. Under the careful exterior there is often a dry sense of humour.
Love and relationships
In relationships Virgo shows love through practical help: fixing the thing, remembering the appointment, looking after the details. It can be shy about emotion and slow to commit, preferring to be sure. Being gentle with criticism, and learning to say what it appreciates as readily as what could improve, strengthens its closest bonds.
Work and money
Virgo thrives in health, research, editing, analysis, craft, administration and any field where accuracy matters. It is a conscientious colleague and a careful planner. With money Virgo is prudent and organised, though worry about getting things right can hold it back from reasonable risks.

- Discernment

Watch-points
- Over-analysis
- Self-criticism
- Worry
Compatible signs
Capricorn, Taurus, Scorpio and Cancer are the traditional matches for Virgo: the other earth signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Earth signs share Virgo's practical outlook, and water signs bring warmth to its careful nature. Fellow mutable signs add variety but can leave Virgo feeling that nobody is checking the plan.

The sky behind this reading
- Moon in Scorpio
- House 3 for you
- Nakshatra
- Swati, pada 1
- Tithi
- Krishna Chaturdashi
- Retrograde
- Mercury, Venus
House numbers count from your sign, which is house 1.
With the Moon in your third house, your mind is quick and curious; it is a good day for writing, learning something short or catching up with a sibling or neighbour. The day's tithi is Krishna Chaturdashi and the Moon is in Swati, an independent, breezy star linked with flexibility and trade: keep your options open and adapt as things change. The Moon sits with Venus in your second house of money, speech and values, so feelings and events linked with love, money, and relationships land with extra weight today. Mercury is retrograde in your third house of communication, siblings and short trips, so double-check messages, plans and paperwork connected with it before committing.
Career
A quick idea shared with a colleague moves a stalled task along today, so keep communication open and brief.
Love Life
Light, frequent contact suits love today: a message at the right moment, a short walk together, easy conversation.
Education
Asking questions in class or in a study group pays off today; a clear question is half the answer.

House numbers count from your sign, which is house 1.
The Moon in Libra lights up your second house of money and values, so day-to-day finances, food and what you hold dear are on your mind. Chitra holds the Moon on this Krishna Trayodashi. It is a bright, artistic star linked with design and craftsmanship, so pay attention to presentation and the finishing touches. A supportive sextile between the Moon and Mars, which is in your twelfth house of rest, solitude and the unseen, opens a quiet window for progress with drive, conflict, and energy; act on it instead of waiting. Mercury is retrograde in your third house of communication, siblings and short trips, so double-check messages, plans and paperwork connected with it before committing.
