Okay, so I’ve been digging into this “Late August baby, astrologically” thing from the NYT crossword puzzle, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey.
First off, I started by looking up what this clue even means. Turns out, it’s a crossword puzzle clue that popped up on May 27, 2024. My goal was to figure out the answer.

I scoured through a bunch of crossword solver websites and forums. It’s kinda like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you’re looking for words.
- Checked multiple crossword puzzle clue sites. There are tons of them out there!
- Looked at the date, May 27, to make sure I was on the right track.
- Read through comments and discussions to see if anyone else had figured it out. Some people were talking about zodiac signs, constellations, and all that.
Here’s what I did:
After some serious digging, I found out that the answer is a five-letter word. And it has something to do with zodiac signs.
Then I finally got it! The answer they’re looking for is “VIRGO”. Apparently, people born in late August are Virgos, astrologically speaking. And I also found that some people think that “Virgo” is a kind of large constellation between Leo and Libra. So interesting, isn’t it? I never really thought about these connections before.
I mean, I’m not really into astrology and stuff, but it was a fun little puzzle to solve. Plus, I learned something new today. Who knew crossword puzzles could be educational?
Anyway, that’s my little adventure with the “Late August baby, astrologically” clue. Hope you found it at least a little bit interesting. It’s kinda cool how these little clues can lead you down a rabbit hole of information.
I also found out that there are maybe 40 possible answers in their database! But the key is that it appeared on May 27, so I just focused on that specific clue. I think I did a good job!
So yeah, that’s all from me today. Time to find another puzzle to crack!
