As you well know, you have in the past been, and may even be at the moment, distracted by certain obsessions, things you want to do, or other desires, ideas, or concerns. The lesson isn’t dealing with those obsessions, it’s learning how to still your mind. That is one of life’s greatest challenges and most rewarding accomplishments.
When you explain plans to certain people, they soon forget. Instead, write them down
As you go through life as a Virgo, you learn a lot. You learn from experience, you learn from what you discuss. But also as you move through life you tend to attract objects—you tend to buy things, collect things, and each one of them adds to your life.
In some cases, a single object turns into a genuine collection. It can be anything from seashells to some variety of ceramics or, indeed, to a sports car—whatever it is that you might be interested in.
However it’s also important that, from time to time, you shed both the thoughts that are connected to that collection and maybe that collection itself.
That isn’t to say you shouldn’t have things around you that you enjoy. Rather, that it is encouraging you to consider whether that time and energy you invested in collecting something is part of the past and perhaps there is a new future waiting for you.
The simple thought of considering that alone frees you. And that, for you, as someone who works so hard to make life perfect, is in itself freeing.
Give yourself the gift of considering the possibility of letting go—that is, of both elements of your past and of physical memories, souvenirs, collections—and you’ll find you feel much freer and happier.
It is useful to recognize that while you may enjoy the company of a lot of people, you actually relax with very few of them. If you need a time to chill, time to enjoy yourself, make sure that those individuals are who you decide to be with.
There is something to be said about having ambitious plans about taking care of yourself. But there are also times when keeping things simple is more important. That may mean simple movement, simple ways of eating—or even simple rest and relaxation.
As you well know, you have in the past been, and may even be at the moment, distracted by certain obsessions, things you want to do, or other desires, ideas, or concerns. The lesson isn’t dealing with those obsessions, it’s learning how to still your mind. That is one of life’s greatest challenges and most rewarding accomplishments.
As much as you enjoy talking over intriguing ideas, ensure others understand you’re doing no more than that, exploring possibilities. Certain individuals will mistake your enthusiasm for serious interest. Explain that as clearly as you can now and you’ll avoid misunderstandings, if not hurt feelings, 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.
