Are you sure you are Virgo and Capricorn?

Sun-sign dates shift by a day or two from year to year, so the ranges printed on most sites — including the conventional Aug 23 – Sep 22 in the summary above — are a rounded average, not the real boundary. Virgo season has begun on 2 different calendar days since 1929, and the Sun last actually entered Virgo on the conventional date in 2023. If either birthday falls near a boundary, check the exact year below — and if it is the boundary day itself, the free birth chart settles it to the minute.
