August 23rd in the solar calendar is Virgo.

Virgo is the sixth house of the zodiac, and its date of birth is from August 23rd to September 22nd. It is located in the east of Leo and west of Libra.

Virgo is the largest zodiac sign, with an area of 1, 294.43 square degrees, accounting for 3.3 1.8% of the whole day. Among the 88 constellations in the whole day, Virgo ranks second in area, second only to Ophiuchus. Virgo has 58 stars with brightness greater than 5.5, and the brightest star is Kakuchi (Virgo Alpha).

Extended data:

Virgo, the main deep-space celestial body, is 55 million light-years away from the Earth, making it the largest zodiac sign. Every spring, shortly after sunset, it is on the horizon in the east, and Virgo has been spitting its light in the night sky in spring and summer. The apparent magnitude is 0.98. Every April 1 1 night, the Virgo Center falls from the sky. The modern autumnal equinox is located near Right Law Enforcement (Virgo β).

But in this constellation, only Cassiopeia is 0.9m, there are four 3m stars, and the rest are stars darker than 4m. Therefore, although Dmitry is the goddess of agriculture, her image in the sky is not too dazzling.

Simplify this somewhat complicated big constellation into a capital letter "Y": take the α-γ star as the handle, and divide it into two branches from γ star, with γ, δ and ε as one branch and γ, η and β as the other. Fortunately, the bright star Kakuchi didn't make Virgo, the famous zodiac sign in spring, too dim.
