1. Virgo's ruling planet is Mercury. This means they're great at communication. They're excellent at reading and writing as well as being empathetic listeners.

2. Virgo is the largest constellation in the zodiac and the second-largest in the sky. It contains 43 deep space objects and 49 extrasolar planets.

3. The dates for Virgo are 23 August to 22 September, so although Virgo is known as the September zodiac sign, it spills into August. There are actually two September zodiac signs: Virgo, and Libra, which takes over from Virgo on 23 September.

4. Because Virgo appears on the horizon at the beginning of fall and is visible until the end of October, it's associated with the end of summer and start of the harvest.

5. Virgo's zodiac symbol is the maiden. It's sometimes said to represent the Greek goddess of justice Astraea, also known as "star maiden". Other legends say it represents Persephone, daughter of the harvest goddess Demeter, while still more make it the harvest goddess herself. Either way, this is one divine sign.
