August zodiac sign birthstones:

When it comes to understanding the zodiac signs, astrology or astronomy can be quite a typical subject to understand on your own. A person’s particular zodiac sign is determined by the position of the Sun at that point of time in space. The bright celestial bodies spend almost 4 weeks in each specific zodiac sign and from that you can figure out your sun sign. One’s sun sign is the most authentic part of their birth-chart, it defines the person’s core qualities, motivations and characteristics.

To determine your zodiac or sun sign, you can take the help of a birth chart calculator. Otherwise you can just add your birth date and look for which month it falls in, accordingly you will get to know about the categorical representations.

Suppose here we are having a detailed discussion on the zodiac signs whose birth-date falls in the month of August from August 23 – September 22. Virgo, also known as the Virgin, is the zodiac sign which comes into this category. Here’s a simple step guide to know more about your detail-oriented Virgo friend.

Virgo Zodiac Sign [August 23 – September 22]:
