Frequently asked
What are the dates for Virgo?
Virgo runs August 23 – September 22.
Which signs is Virgo most compatible with?
Virgo tends to click with Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio.
What element and quality is Virgo?
Virgo is a mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury.
Why does my Virgo horoscope change every day?
It is built on the Moon, which changes sign about every two and a half days and crosses the whole zodiac in twenty-seven. The Sun in Virgo does not move for a month, so it cannot be what makes today different.
How does Mercury retrograde affect Virgo?
Mercury rules Virgo, so its three or four retrogrades a year register more clearly here than for most signs. They read as revision — something already done coming back for a second pass — rather than as a general warning.
Is this the same for all Virgos?
It speaks to the Sun in Virgo. Where today lands for you depends on your houses, which need an exact birth time in addition to the date and place.
This is the general forecast
Your personal reading comes from your real natal chart — not just your Sun sign.

Daily horoscope for the other signs
The Moon’s two and a half days, and what they do to a Virgo day
A daily reading is a reading of the Moon. It spends about two and a half days in each sign and completes the zodiac in twenty-seven, so every sign gets one Moon stretch per cycle and one opposite stretch roughly a fortnight later.
For Virgo those are the Moon in Virgo and the Moon in Pisces. The first tends to read as sorting and correcting; the second as the pressure to stop sorting and let something be finished. Both come back every twenty-seven days, drifting a few days earlier each calendar month.
The remaining twenty-two days are the Moon crossing the other ten signs, each touching a different part of the chart. That is the actual reason a daily page is different every day, and it is checkable rather than atmospheric.
Mercury as Virgo reads it — correction rather than movement
Virgo shares Mercury with Gemini but takes it differently. Mercury orbits in about eighty-eight days and crosses a sign in two to three weeks when moving at full speed, and it turns retrograde three or four times a year for about three weeks each.
Where a Gemini reading takes Mercury as movement and input, a Virgo reading takes it as analysis and revision. The retrograde stretches — roughly a fifth of the year — land here as periods when something already done goes back for a second pass rather than as periods of confusion.
That gives a Virgo year a visible structure: about nine months of forward work broken by three review windows. The daily page reads the Moon inside whichever of those windows is currently open, which is why the same lunar placement can read differently in March and in June.
