Traditionally, a Virgo ascendant is described as discerning, service-minded and attentive to detail. The ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it depends on the time and place of birth.
With the Moon in Virgo at birth, a person finds calm through order and useful action. In Indian astrology names and rashifal are usually read from the Moon sign.
