Being told you need to be wary of other people’s thinking may seem strange, but the fact is others’ standards are very strict and suit them. If they start giving advice, thank them and ignore them. That is the only solution.
The minute you discover a mistake, you’ll remedy it. Puzzlingly, others don’t even care
Some Virgos decide from a very young age what works in life for them. Whether it’s about what works at home, what works out in the world, what works in love—they stick with that philosophy their whole life.
But other Virgos, you included, are inquisitive by nature and regularly change your approach to such matters.
You change your rules simply because every time you do this, you learn something new. And what you learn will then go on to enrich your life.
While you understand this, others don’t, and if you’re asked by somebody to explain, you’re urged not to. Just say that the changes you are making were an idea you had and you will probably have many more.
And then quietly go off and think more. Because for you, this process of exploring options is like taking a kind of vitamin, it is very special. It allows you to be more like yourself than others.
While all Virgos share some characteristics, certain particular Virgos (you included) have a talent for examining life—making the best from it and making every twist and turn count.
Enjoy that, even though sometimes others won’t understand why. Yet it doesn’t matter. Because you’re the one who is making the best of every one of those twists and turns.
Ordinarily, as a Virgo and somebody ruled by Mercury, you’d happily talk things over with others. It’s natural. However, there are moments, and you’ll recognize them, when it is best to say less and in fact simply to stick with looking a bit vague about the reasons you made certain decisions.
What is important for you is to recognize that while there are lots of things you can do that are good for you, such as eating certain ways and doing certain types of activity, what brings you joy is quite another matter. Make sure that this shapes what you do. Good health will result.
Being told you need to be wary of other people’s thinking may seem strange, but the fact is others’ standards are very strict and suit them. If they start giving advice, thank them and ignore them. That is the only solution.
Urgent as certain decisions seem, don’t let anyone corner you into committing to something you’re not sure about. The problem isn’t a lack of options but rather, too many. Explore and experiment. Just ensure others know that that’s the approach you’re taking and that you’ll finalize plans later.
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.
