The Sidereal Zodiac is the position of the sun referenced against the star background, as a measure of the flow of time. The framework for the star background is the constellations the sun passes in front of. This is the one astronomers use.
Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area on average between August 23 and September 24, and under the sidereal zodiac, the sun currently transits the constellation of Virgo from September 17 to October 17.ndividuals born during these dates, depending on which system of astrology they subscribe to, may be called Virgos or Virgoans.
