One of your skills is your ability to set very clear goals, except there is one important goal you need to include, and that is one that involves getting things wrong. While there are many things you can learn perfectly right away, the things you get wrong several times turn out to be the most instructive.
There is a joy to having the facts, acting on them, and being confident of the result
As a clear-minded Virgo, you know exactly what you want to do. However, because you were born right next to the rather fiery sign of Leo, which is ruled by the Sun, there is a part of you that doesn’t mind a little flurry of energy, a little excitement when you walk into the room.
This can be confusing, but on the other hand, it allows you to have a much more exciting life than other Virgos. And in fact, the secret to this is to note the part of you that likes to figure out the correct way to do things. Then, you also need to recognize times when you not only want to ignore it, but actually would benefit from doing that, and allowing your Leo side to take over a bit.
And eventually, you will find a balance between the two. The Leo side is always about fun and joy, and isn’t nearly as responsible as the Virgo side. Yet, when you combine the two, you will not only enjoy life more, you’ll also share that joy—a very logical and ordered joy—with those around you, and it becomes a kind of infectious variety of fun.
Not only that, you will also bring a sense of joy to some of the more orderly, Virgo elements of your day and your life. You might even find yourself taking chances that previously, you never would have thought of.
Your instinct is to help people at any time. If there’s something they need to learn to do, or just simply learn something new, you’ll be there. However, the trick is often to stand back and let them learn for themselves, and then congratulate them when they do it.
As a Virgo, you can come up with a plan and obsess about it, and do it precisely every day. However, the secret is to borrow a little energy from your Leo side and to turn that plan into something thrilling.
One of your skills is your ability to set very clear goals, except there is one important goal you need to include, and that is one that involves getting things wrong. While there are many things you can learn perfectly right away, the things you get wrong several times turn out to be the most instructive.
When you think somebody is mistaken, you’ll say so, and without hesitation. But now, and in several situations, certain individuals are being bizarrely touchy. It is a tricky time for them. Tempting as it is to ask what’s wrong, you’d regret it. Busy yourself elsewhere until they are in a better mood.
Virgo: AUGUST 22 – SEPTEMBER 21
Ruler: Mercury
Symbol: The Maiden
Element: Earth
Flower: Buttercup
As a Virgo, you combine an earthy sensuality with the sharp cleverness of your ruler, Mercury. The pleasure you derive in beauty, nature, living, and eating well is genuine, yet being the sign of early fall, you have an instinctive awareness of the wise use of resources. Your flower is forget-me-not; your spice, redolent cardamom; and the mighty oak and the hazel are your trees. Your jewels have earthy colors, from topaz to sardonyx.
