About the 3rd Decanate of Virgo

The 3rd decanate of Virgo (September 12 - September 22) is sub-ruled by Venus. This means Venus's energy colors your Virgo Sun, adding a distinctive flavor to how you express your sign's core qualities. Each sign is divided into three decanates of 10 degrees each, and your decanate ruler acts as a secondary influence that makes your birthday unique within the broader Virgo archetype.

Your Sun sits at approximately 24° Virgo. The specific degree can shift by a day depending on the year you were born, since the Sun's exact position varies slightly from year to year. For a precise degree, calculate your full birth chart.
