What this sign is
Virgo (कन्या) is the 6th sign of the zodiac, ruled by Mercury. It is a earth sign and a dual (dvisvabhava) one — which together say most of what there is to say about how it behaves.
Being a earth sign, Virgo builds slowly and keeps what it builds — practical, steady, hard to hurry. Being dual (dvisvabhava), it adapts — works in two directions at once, which is both its gift and its difficulty. Its ruler Mercury adds its own colour on top of that, and in a real chart the ruler's position decides how much of this actually shows.

One thing worth knowing before you read any of this: in Vedic astrology your rashi is where the MOON stood when you were born, not the sun-sign the date ranges give. The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a quarter days, so the date table is right by luck rather than by rule — most people reading a column have been reading the wrong one.
This is the sign, not your chart
A rashifal is written for a twelfth of the world at once. Your own chart is cast from your date, exact time and place — and it says something no sign column can.
Common questions
- Who is the lord of Virgo?
- Mercury rules Virgo. Wherever Mercury sits in a chart, it carries this sign's affairs with it.
- Which nakshatras fall in Virgo?
- Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra — each nakshatra spans 13°20', so a sign holds two and a quarter of them and the ones at the edges are shared with the neighbouring sign.
- Is my rashi the same as my sun sign?
- One thing worth knowing before you read any of this: in Vedic astrology your rashi is where the MOON stood when you were born, not the sun-sign the date ranges give. The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a quarter days, so the date table is right by luck rather than by rule — most people reading a column have been reading the wrong one.
