The single message for you is to set flexible goals. As a Virgo, you like to know where you stand, so you tend to measure your goals by both achievement and the time they will take. Except sometimes you need to give yourself a break, and simply have an idea of what you would like to achieve—nothing more.
The greatest Virgo lesson? Spotting those who don’t care about getting things right
Being an earth sign and ruled by the clever planet Mercury, you’re well aware of what works and what doesn’t. But those around you aren’t—and that’s really part of the problem.
When things are going wrong, you’re usually the one who points out not only that things need to be done, but also what the solution is. However, as clever as you are, there are certain situations where, first, things may actually need to fall apart, and second, the solution may be you dealing with something else entirely.
It may well be that there’s some other area of your life that needs attention, but you’ve always been so busy with other things, you haven’t dealt with that.
This, therefore, is your lesson. It is why you’re very good at dealing with certain kinds of crises, yet you’re not quite as good at spotting unworkable situations in your own life. Every once in a while, you get a handwritten invitation to deal with it.
If you learn to spot those, then you’ll also add a skill, which is being able to learn from them and deal with them. The trick is to ask others’ advice willingly, even if it’s uncomfortable. That, too, will change your relationship with those individuals from what was tension to a closeness you would never have thought possible.
Often you take on the role of advisor, which comes naturally with being a Virgo. Yet every once in a while, it is essential that you not only listen to others’ advice, but you seek it. It is an important lesson and one that will prove incredibly valuable.
Typically, you rather like going for a rigid regimen. It’s because it’s well defined and you know where you stand. Except every now and then it is important that you relax—not so much spoil yourself, as simply live day by day, free of duties and obligations.

Every once in a while, life is good. So much so, there is no need to query ideas or offers, and all that is necessary is that you respond to events as they arise. Yet certain well-meaning individuals are warning you that things are just too easy. At other times that might well be true, but not now.
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.
