A note on August 24 birthdays

This birthday opens Virgo's run at day 2 of 31, between 0.2 and 2.5 degrees. The triplicity system of decans opens its first stretch here too, Virgo's own first decan, sub-ruled fittingly by Mercury, the sign's own ruler, a double claim the tradition ties to talk, ideas and noticing detail. By this site's points method, Virgo's strongest matches are Taurus and Capricorn, 8 points on a trine, with Cancer and Scorpio following at 5 points on a sextile. August 23 lies just before it, still inside Virgo.
