September 7 zodiac sign: Virgo, second decan
If you were born on September 7, your sign is Virgo, the earth sign ruled by Mercury: the Sun is in Virgo on this date in every year from 1980 to 2030. The Sun sits about 14° into Virgo on this date, in the second decan, where Virgo's core takes on a Venus flavour. Here's what the date fixes, and what only your birth time can tell you.
Your sign: Virgo
The mutable earth sign that notices everything and refines until it works.
A Virgo Sun has an analytical mind paired with a service orientation — a rare combination. You're the person who actually reads the manual, who notices what's off in the system, who stays late to make sure the thing works the way it's supposed to. You're not loud about it. You just do the work.

The date fixes the Sun; the year and hour fix the rest. A Virgo born September 7 with the Moon in Capricorn runs on a different inner weather from one with the Moon in Virgo: see Virgo Sun, Capricorn Moon. Your rising sign needs the birth time; the twelve Virgo Sun combinations show what each one changes.

In 24 of those 51 years (47%) the Moon changed sign during September 7 itself, so in those years the birth time decides the Moon as well as the rising sign. Cells with an arrow mark them, with the UTC time of the change. The Moon was exactly full on September 7 in 1987, 2006, and 2025, and new in 1983, 2002, and 2021.
Find your birth year. One sign means the Moon spent the whole UTC day there; an arrow means it changed sign that day, at the UTC time shown: born before it, the first sign; after it, the second. The Moon sign calculator settles it in seconds; your birth chart adds the rising sign and houses.
Times in UTC: a birth late in the evening in the Americas, or early in the morning in Asia, can fall on the neighbouring UTC date.

Your decan: the second decan of Virgo
Each sign is divided into three 10° decans, and each decan has a sub-ruler that shades the sign's core. Degrees 10–20 of Virgo belong to Venus: how you love, what you find beautiful, and what you value. Read it as Virgo with a Venus accent — the earth core is unchanged, the emphasis moves.

What the date can't tell you
The Sun is one placement out of ten. Your Moon sign changes every two to three days, so Virgos born on September 7 in different years have different Moons; your rising sign changes every two hours and needs a birth time and place. Those two carry most of what people mean by "personality" in a chart.

Common questions
What zodiac sign is September 7?
September 7 is Virgo, the mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury. The Sun sits at roughly 14° Virgo on this date, in the second decan.
What decan is September 7?
The second decan of Virgo (10°–20°), sub-ruled by Venus. Decans divide each sign into three 10° slices; the sub-ruler adds a second flavour to the sign's core — here how you love, what you find beautiful, and what you value.
What tarot card is September 7?
In the Golden Dawn system each decan has a minor arcana card: for the second decan of Virgo it is the Nine of Pentacles (independence, refinement, self-sufficiency). It's a birthday card in the same way a sun sign is — one lens, not a verdict.
What Moon sign is someone born on September 7?
It depends on the year, and in 47% of years on the hour too. For example: in 1980, Leo; in 1990, Aries; in 2000, Sagittarius or Capricorn; in 2010, Leo or Virgo; in 2020, Taurus. Over 1980–2030 the Moon on September 7 was most often in Virgo. A birth time and place pin it down.
Does everyone born on September 7 have the same chart?
No. They share the Sun in Virgo, but the Moon changes sign every two to three days, the rising sign every two hours, and the outer planets by year. Two people born September 7 in different years can have almost nothing else in common in their charts.
