It seems natural for you to want to seek the perfect plan or the perfect goal. However, in certain situations, not only is that difficult, it simply doesn’t exist. Acknowledging that is the greatest gift you can give yourself, because it turns the situation in question into one of life’s most important adventures.
To you, a minor but vital correction is just that. Others neither understand why, nor care
As a Virgo, you love it when life is in order. It makes you feel like everything is balanced. However, you have also learned that if things are too organized, and events are too predictable, then even you get bored. In fact, occasionally, you’ll let something go or change something, just so you’ll have a new challenge.
However, on occasion, it is important for you to begin to broaden your horizons—that is, to take yourself into new territory, where you’re dealing with situations or people about which you know little. You don’t even know whether you’re getting it right or wrong. But that’s the whole point of learning in this way.
Also, it is about using a different muscle in your character, which is inquisitiveness.
While you have always been interested in what’s going on around you, this variety of learning has to do with an entirely different part of your mind and your spirit: the part that is totally about discovery.
Ironically, many Virgos avoid this because they are anxious about the fear that they won’t be able to learn.
On the contrary. Not only will you learn a lot, each day you will discover new facts. But even more you’ll discover a new passion in your life—about living, about learning, and about how exciting it is to discover something new each and every day.
Teamwork is an interesting word, because often it is useful, if not vital. But it can also be a problem, and hold you back. The issue? Trusting others. Discovering that alone is tone of life’s most important insights.
Learning to notice when you are feeling overwhelmed is difficult, because often you’re so busy figuring things out, you don’t even realize if you’re stressed or tired. The trick? Take a deep breath every once in a while. And if that feels like an effort, maybe it’s time to take a break.
It seems natural for you to want to seek the perfect plan or the perfect goal. However, in certain situations, not only is that difficult, it simply doesn’t exist. Acknowledging that is the greatest gift you can give yourself, because it turns the situation in question into one of life’s most important adventures.
Being told you’re about to be disillusioned may not sound like good news, but when you think about it, you are trading a fantasy, one that is likely to be disappointing, for real facts. If you’re facing any challenge, it’s narrowing down your range of options and deciding what you’ll do.
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.
