When you are planning ahead, it is important to anticipate challenges. That may sound a bit negative. But you’ll realize that if you line up those who can help you, they will be there for you all the time—and that could even be when things are going well.
Joy is those golden moments when everybody seems to understand what’s needed
As a practical earth sign and as a Virgo, you always know what needs to be done. And when you know there are things that need to be dealt with, you will also take action—often without discussing things with others.
Yet there are certain situations where you have no choice. And this is where it can get tricky, unless you recognize something. And that is the fact that, while you know what needs to be done, those around you don’t necessarily need to hear the details.
In fact, if there is any secret to dealing with this, it is to avoid pointless discussions and debates. Begin to explain and others will quite naturally ask questions. They may even challenge you, even though they don’t know what they are talking about.
The trick, therefore, as with so many of these things, is to do what needs to be done and do it all at once, and to keep very quiet about it. If you need support of any kind, find an expert; don’t ask someone who is around who is part of your life, your work, or your family. Once you become accustomed to taking this approach, life will be much easier.
In fact, you will find that you’re able to relax and enjoy life with those whose company you take greatest pleasure in because they, too, are able to deal with things swiftly, easily—and without drama.
You may not be aware of this, but you can seem on top of everything, gliding through. Yet, every once in a while, you have a crisis. Ask others for help, but only ask those who are knowledgeable and you know are capable of giving you a hand.
Shouldering everybody’s burdens is typical of you—and it is completely unrealistic as well. The trick is to have a joint effort. This doesn’t come naturally, and of course, the most important thing is to ensure that those who are by your side are as capable and as experienced as you are.
When you are planning ahead, it is important to anticipate challenges. That may sound a bit negative. But you’ll realize that if you line up those who can help you, they will be there for you all the time—and that could even be when things are going well.
It doesn’t matter whether the issues in question are personal or involve others, they are unsettling and therefore not easy to discuss. Despite that, the time has come to raise them. It won’t be easy, but once you do, you’ll notice how grateful others are that you had the courage to bring these up.
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.
