Virgo begins in later August somewhere between 22nd and 25th of
the month and extends until the Fall Equinox which is in late September usually between
the 22nd and 24th. As I stated in earlier pages, the beginnings and end of Astrological
signs are mathematical calculation based on the actual movement of the Earth around the
Sun. Astrological Sign's beginning moments change each year but they do have similar
trends in 4 year cycles.
EXACTLY 30 degrees of arc in a 360 degree circle around EARTH is
the standard that defines all the Astrological Signs [30 degrees X 12 signs] and the
ZODIAC.... EACH !!, Astrology Sign is an absolute measure of distance, 30 degrees 0
minutes 0 seconds of arc out of 360 total. That, only, sets the boundaries of the Signs
not a certain number of days. AND. There is no such thing as a cusp when it comes to SUN
SIGNS. That's why some people born on April 21st are ARIES and some are TAURUS, also
that's why some folks born on June 22nd are GEMINI and some people born on September 23rd
are still VIRGO'S.
At Sunrise, each year on the first day of Virgo, August 22nd -
25th, 0 degrees of Virgo is on the Eastern horizon. For Greenwich Mean Time, by
definition, that makes a person born at that time have a Virgo ascendant of 0 degrees.
Each Astrology Sign spends exactly 30 degrees of arc, approximately 2 hours on the
Ascendant each day, making the Earth rotate through the entire Zodiac each day. 2 hours
[120 minutes] divided by 30 degrees equals 1 degree every 4 minutes. Time being a living
entity, it is continually moving in the forward direction as the Earth spins within the
Zodiac.
On the last day of Virgo each year 30 degrees of Virgo is on the
Eastern Horizon making people born soon after that moment Libra's with a Libra
Ascendant's.
Each morning of Virgo almost an additional degree of the sign is
on the eastern horizon at Sunrise and Virgo sunrises are around 5:45 AM each day.
By knowing the approximate time of sunrise, using the 2 hour per
sign rule and adding 1 degree each day; it is possible to realistically approximate a
persons Ascendant.
EXAMPLES: (1) Born on August 25th at 6:59 AM; 2 degrees of Virgo
would be on the Eastern Horizon at sunrise. Subtract 5:45 from 6:59 giving you a
difference of 1:14 hr's. 1 hour =15 degrees of arc + 14 minutes = 3 1/2 degrees; totaling
18 1/2 degrees. Add 18 1/2 degrees to 2 degrees of Virgo which equals 20 1/2 degrees of
Virgo on the Ascendant..... (2) Born on September 10th 5:45 PM; 18 degrees of Virgo is on
the Eastern Horizon at sunrise. Exactly 12 hours difference = exactly 180 degrees
difference; with 18 degrees Pisces on the Ascendant.

You can now look to one of the 12 options below for an accurate
personality profile. Some may have to look at more than one caricature because you can't
accurately calculate an ascendant or you don't know your birth time. Very, Very rarely is
a persons birth TIME accurate, unless the mother or father happens to study Astrology. It
is a good idea to check the sign on either side of your calculated Ascendant or Moon to
see which fits the best.
If you've had your horoscope done you can look up the exact
information there. That chart will also give your Moon Sign. the Moon sign can also be
gotten from an Ephemeris [book of planetary tables].
These dissertations apply
generally to the Astrology combinations listed. For absolutely accurate
interpretations a full horoscope is required but these should give an general
indication to the individuals personality unless an all powerful aspect
dominates the native, i.e. Uranus square Mars, conjunct the node of Mars.
