August 24 zodiac sign: Virgo
The August 24 zodiac sign is Virgo at midday in every year from 1930 to 2029 — but not at every hour: in 5 of those 100 years a birth early in the day (UTC) had the Sun still in Leo.

Where in Virgo this falls
August 24 falls on day 2 of the Sun decan (August 23–September 2, 2026).
- Virgo at midday UTC
- Sign changed during the day (UTC)
- 2026
Virgo at midday UTC in all 100 years, but in 5 of them — 1931, 1935, 1939, 1943 and 1947 — the Sun changed sign during August 24 itself (UTC), so a birth in the first hours of that day could still be Leo.

The Sun lends visibility and self-assertion, so this stretch reads more openly ambitious than the rest. In its first ten degrees Virgo shows in its rawest form: Leo has only just handed over, and nothing of the new sign has worn down yet.
Personality
August 24 birthday personality
People born on August 24 are Virgo, and the sign is read as precision, usefulness and noticing what is off. Spots the flaw everyone else missed, and fixes it rather than pointing at it.
The 24th reduces to 6 and combines 2 (partnership) with 4 (stability). Numerologists read it as a birthday of devoted, practical love: those born on this day are loyal to family and friends and willing to work hard to make home life secure. Birthday number 24 in full →

The Moon and nakshatra columns change every year because the Moon returns to the same calendar date in a different position — which is why a birth date alone cannot tell you those, and why this table exists.

The most frequent is 9 with 12 years; every other number, 22 included, turns up in 11 years. And this date can carry a master number: 22 in 11 of those years — kept whole rather than reduced. Why 11, 22 and 33 are treated differently →
Why the answer almost always holds
August 24 sits 1 day past the start of Virgo and reached 1°21′ this year — close enough to the start of the sign that the hour starts to count: in 5 of those 100 years a birth early in the day (UTC) had the Sun still in Leo. At midday it is Virgo in every year tested, so on this date the question worth asking is the birth time, not the birth year.
