Leo or Virgo traits

If your Sun is in Leo: You shine. Warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who you really are run through everything you do. A Leo Sun grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.

If your Sun is in Virgo: You refine. You notice what could be better and quietly make it so, and your standards are highest for yourself. The art of a Virgo Sun is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.

Signs are computed from the Sun’s position with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris, for every year from 1900 to 2026. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata. A sign is shown beside a name only when it holds for the whole of the birth date; where it does not, both possibilities are given. How to read a birth chart.
