Planning ahead is a virtue, it’s true, but there’s one of the most important plans that you can make, which is to plan ahead to fail. That may sound strange, but the thing is, if you give yourself the space to take chances where you might fail, the odds are good that your successes will be far more spectacular.
Living with others’ mistakes is annoying, as they’ll do it again. Explain the changes needed
As a Virgo, your instinct is to work hard to figure out your day and the order in which you’ll do things—and, equally, with the week, and the month, and the year, and even several years ahead. This comes naturally to you, so much so you don’t even think about doing it.
Yet, at the same time, life often dishes out unexpected events, which means that you need to rethink those plans. Again, this is something you have become accustomed to, and when you’re doing that, you try to get it just right as well. In fact, you try to plan ahead simply because you’re adjusting plans that change, and that’s the key for you. Recognize that even the most carefully made plans will change, because life itself changes. Instead of working so hard to get everything organized in detail, which you tend to do, you will give yourself a wonderful gift and that is the gift of spontaneity. To be willing to do things suddenly—in fact, you might even start doing things suddenly without being prompted by others.
You might just change your mind and call someone and suggest you go some place you’ve never been to. Whatever it is, whatever you do, and whoever it is with, make that gift of spontaneity to yourself and your life will go from one that is organized to one that is full of joy.
While harmony is nice, and being able to work together with even difficult individuals is also nice. There’s an important secret to making the best of others, and that is to support each other: for you to support others, and for them to support you. Then you’ll know that in doing so, you’re helping each other be the best you can be.
As an earth sign, you tend to think the condition of your body has to do with what you eat and how you move and how you take care of it. And while that is important, it’s also vital to recognize how much your mood has to do with how you feel. Sometimes, if you can lift your mood, you’ll feel a whole lot better.
Planning ahead is a virtue, it’s true, but there’s one of the most important plans that you can make, which is to plan ahead to fail. That may sound strange, but the thing is, if you give yourself the space to take chances where you might fail, the odds are good that your successes will be far more spectacular.
Teamwork is essential, in both your personal life and activities out in the world. Yet one or two individuals are driving you crazy. Ignoring their antics won’t be easy, but it’s better than trying to get them in line. Besides, those individuals will soon calm down, actually before you’d have expected it.
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.
