A letter M whose final stroke curves back on itself into a closed loop crossing the third leg, the zodiac sign for births between 23 August to 22 September.
Also known as: Virgo, Virgo zodiac sign, Virgo star sign
Virgo is the zodiac sign traditionally assigned to births between 23 August to 22 September. Astrology classes it as a earth sign of mutable quality ruled by Mercury, and reads the glyph as disputed; commonly read as a monogram of the Greek letters for the word parthenos, meaning maiden. The sign no longer lines up with the constellation it is named after.
The astrological sign Virgo, which tradition assigns to births between 23 August to 22 September. The dates shift by a day either way from year to year, because they track the Sun's position rather than the calendar.

Classified in astrological tradition as a earth sign of mutable quality, ruled by Mercury.
A classification within astrology, recorded here as what the tradition holds. Symbolwise makes no claim that it describes or predicts anything about a person.
The glyph is conventionally read as disputed; commonly read as a monogram of the Greek letters for the word parthenos, meaning maiden.
The sign and the constellation of the same name no longer coincide. Precession of the equinoxes has shifted them roughly one sign apart since the scheme was fixed around two thousand years ago, and the Sun's actual path crosses a thirteenth constellation, Ophiuchus, that the twelve-sign zodiac does not use.
A letter M whose final stroke curves back on itself into a closed loop crossing the third leg.
Astrological tradition assigns Mercury as this sign's ruling planet.
Both are built on the letter M. Virgo's final stroke curls back into a closed loop; Scorpio's runs out into a straight arrow pointing up and to the right.
Both belong to the twelve signs of the tropical zodiac.
