Often you will stop short of polishing off a plan or project because you like the idea of continuing to work on it. There is a secret, and that is to have several such activities at once, each of which is contributing to your life.
You expect so much from yourself, there is no room for more perfection in your life
As an earth sign you are very good at handling practical matters, but being ruled by Mercury, you are also an ideas person and can sometimes get so involved in those ideas, those things that you want to do, that you’ll focus on that alone and completely forget about the practical side.
The challenge here is to embrace that practical side as well so you have the time and, when necessary, the money, to pursue those ideas that excite you. This is about juggling in a way that you don’t usually have to do, because in many areas of your life you have what might be described as a golden touch.
You are able to do whatever you do and figure it out well. But there are also certain moments when twists and turns in life force you to look at things from a different angle. In doing so, you may struggle at first, but then you will begin to see what can only be described as a golden sunrise.
This may be literal, but probably it is the new way of looking at things that will be the answer to many of those difficulties that you have been struggling with.
Remember that sunrise when similar difficulties arise, and you’ll realize that it isn’t about analysis but about allowing your intuition to guide you. That is the answer now and it often will be in the future, too.
You have a gift, a knack for spotting the skills that others have, sometimes ones they’re unaware of. Take advantage of their abilities in the most positive way—ask them to help you but encourage them to develop those skills as well.
You may not be excited about getting involved in any kind of regimen that has to do with eating or fitness, and that’s fine. There are wonderful ways to do what you need to do, like walking, getting out and about, taking deep breaths. All of those are perfect.
Often you will stop short of polishing off a plan or project because you like the idea of continuing to work on it. There is a secret, and that is to have several such activities at once, each of which is contributing to your life.
After a fast-paced and exciting period, things are slowing down enough that you’re finally able to focus on the practical side of things. You’ll realize that you’re just in time, and if you don’t act swiftly, certain obligations or financial issues could become troublesome. The sooner you tackle these, the better.
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.
