About
Virgo is the sixth zodiac sign. It’s one of three earth signs, together with Capricorn and Taurus. In Hindu astrology, the equivalent of Virgo is Kanya, which also means maiden. Since the Sun moves through Virgo from about August 23 to September 22 in the zodiac, people born during these dates fall under the Virgo sign.
History
This sign is associated with Astraea from Greek mythology, the last immortal to join the gods on Olympus at the end of the Silver Age.
