When you’re setting goals, it is important to think about what you want to do. But probably what is even more important is that you write those goals down in pencil. What you learn in the process of trying to achieve them is far more important than what you’ll think about when you’re beginning that list.
Often, what is best varies with the time and place. Rarely is there only one right moment
When you’re busy making plans—whether it is in your own life, whether it involves how you live or your life out in the world, and even whether it’s around you—you will consider everything, and you’ll do your best to ensure that those plans unfold as you intend.
However, it is important to recognize that plans are rather like breathing: they change as your circumstances change. If you’re sitting in a chair, you breathe slowly, whereas if you are walking or running up a steep hill, your breath becomes quite different.
In the same way, it’s vital that you recognize those plans will be easy at times, then difficult, then challenging, and then perhaps they will change entirely. When you expect that, you’ll see them as a bit of an adventure, instead of something that is supposed to be perfectly organized. And equally, you’ll feel more comfortable about sharing them with others, and perhaps allowing others to get involved, where ordinarily, you might be hesitant, because you have no idea what they’ll do.
While that’s true, certain individuals can be tricky, and others come up with ideas you would never pursue. That may be the point of it. The more you explore because of the people in your life, the more fun you will have simply being alive—whether it has to do with plans, or every day.
One of the things that surprises you as a Virgo, and somebody who tries to be true to yourself all the time, is how different certain people can be at different times: almost as if they were different individuals. Not only is this interesting, you may have more sides to you than you realize as well.
There is a great deal of talk about the importance of sleeping well, if you are sleeping in the right kind of bed, and whether or not you’re having dreams. But there is another part of you that also needs to rest, and that’s your mind. You don’t need to go to bed to rest your mind, you simply need to prevent it from running around and stirring things up.
When you’re setting goals, it is important to think about what you want to do. But probably what is even more important is that you write those goals down in pencil. What you learn in the process of trying to achieve them is far more important than what you’ll think about when you’re beginning that list.
Breakthroughs won’t just be a relief, they will enable you to turn your attention to certain less pressing matters involving loved ones. While they’ve understood just how demanding what you have been dealing with has been, make a point of ensuring you know how grateful you are for their patience.
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.
