If you don’t have any challenges around at the moment, it is important for you to create a few. In fact, you might always want to have some handy. Things you’d like to do, physical challenges, puzzles you want to solve, or perhaps even something you want to paint … whatever it is, make sure you have it handy.
The joy of anything perfectly done is rare and wonderful. The mystery? So few recognize it
This may seem an obvious statement, but you’ve been you for your whole life, which means that clear and crisp mind of yours, that observant nature, has been looking at things from the time you were very tiny.
In fact, many Virgo children are amazing at being able to sort out elements of the world around them, long before others. So you have grown up watching the world around you. The trouble is, sometimes nowadays those observations turn into a concern that things aren’t being done right.
And this is where it is vital to recognize that, at times, others will want your guidance. But there are other times when they won’t, so it is important to ask. And if others don’t realize you could help them, then quietly back off and do something else.
This is very difficult for you, because you really care. But in doing so, you’re also using a different portion of your nature that is actually looking after your own interests, and ensuring that what you’re dwelling on is something that is rewarding for you and is appreciated by those around you. That is one of the most important lessons for you. Often, you’ve helped those who are ungrateful. Now is the time, not only to share your thoughts and gifts with those who are grateful, but to recognize how valuable your company is.
Often you are the one who’s a guide for others. However, there is a big lesson here: to recognize that those around you have ideas and advice to offer you that isn’t just good, it could be valuable, if not life-changing.
Of all the difficulties you may face in life, boredom is, for you, the worst. This means it’s vital for you to have fascinating activities and challenges around you. At home, that means people you can spend time with, but most of all, that you ensure you have adventures of your own.
If you don’t have any challenges around at the moment, it is important for you to create a few. In fact, you might always want to have some handy. Things you’d like to do, physical challenges, puzzles you want to solve, or perhaps even something you want to paint … whatever it is, make sure you have it handy.
As much as you enjoy learning about changes in the world around you and those reshaping the lives of others, you’re less enthusiastic about changes in your own life. Yet judging by recent planetary activity, they’re unavoidable. Explore what’s arisen. You need only learn a bit more, and you’ll be thrilled.
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.
