What does the Sun mean?

The SunSun Enters Virgo

Your Sun is the core of who you are: your will, your awareness, the engine that drags you out of bed each morning. It describes how you like to take center stage and the story you tell about yourself. Where it sits in your chart names your basic theme, the part of you that wants to be seen and that every other planet circles.

Virgo means craft and sorting. For Virgo, the good is in the details: in service, in care, and in really knowing how to do a thing. Where Virgo is active, something gets reworked, cleaned up and improved without fuss, and in the end it carries more than the louder gestures.

How to read the data

  • 0°: the opening degree of the new sign, which is why every sign change sits here by definition.
  • Stays until: the planet's next sign change. Until that date, Virgo sets the style the planet works in.
Statistics 1900–2100

When does the Sun enter Virgo?

It happens exactly once a year, though the day moves around a little. From 1900 to 2100 the ingress landed most often on August 23 (57.7 % of years). The earliest date was August 22, the latest August 24.

Blame the calendar. A solar year runs about 365 days and 6 hours, while the calendar counts only 365 and makes up the difference with a leap day every fourth year. So the ingress drifts roughly six hours later each year until a leap year pulls it back.
