乙女座 – Virgo: The Western Zodiac in Japanese
If you were born between August 23 and September 22 then you are a Virgo. This is the sixth Astrological symbol of the Western Zodiac. Let’s take a look at what this symbol is called in Japanese.
What is Virgo in Japanese?
乙女座 is the word for Virgo in Japanese. We can split this word into 乙女 and 座. First, 座 is a suffix added after the names of words in the zodiac or after constellations. 乙女 means a young maiden, virgin, or, unmarried woman depending on how you translate it.
乙女座 is the common way people refer to Virgo in Japanese. But, there is also a more formal word for the astrological sign in Japanese which is 処女宮 and also means virgin.
