Overview

A precise, practical and service-minded sign. Virgo Moon is linked to analysis, health, craft and attention to detail. In Vedic astrology Virgo is ruled by Mercury, is a earth and dual sign, and traditionally harmonises well with Taurus and Capricorn.

Element & quality

Virgo is a earth sign, associated in tradition with steadiness, patience and practicality, and a dual sign — “dual” (dvisvabhava) — tradition links it to adaptability and bridging two sides. These are broad traditional categories for the sign itself, not a description of any one person.

Ruling planet

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, which in a Vedic chart represents your thinking, speech and skills. Where the Moon sits in your own chart, and the planets around it, matter far more than the sign alone — this page describes only the sign in general.

How to use this

Think of your Raasi as one broad brushstroke, useful for learning the tradition and for everyday almanac timing — not a forecast of your life. Two people with the same Moon sign can be nothing alike. Take what feels useful as a gentle lens, and leave the rest.

Nakshatras in Virgo

The stars (Nakshatras) that fall within Virgo are: Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra. Your exact birth star adds finer detail — see the 27 Nakshatras.

⚠ A note of caution. This is a general description of the sign, not a personal reading. Your full chart depends on your exact birth details; please consult a qualified astrologer for anything important.
