What zodiac sign is August 25?
August 25 falls in Virgo, which runs from August 23 to September 22 in the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year, so the boundary can fall a day or so either side of these dates. If you were born close to the edge, your birth year, time and place decide it.
Is August 25 a cusp birthday?
Not by the usual definition, which counts the first and last couple of days of a sign. August 25 is day 3 of Virgo season, so it is normally read as a clear Virgo birthday.
