Every once in a while, you need new goals. You need a new hill to climb. However, finding that hill is a skill, and it may involve asking the guidance of others in a way you wouldn’t usually do possibly, so the guidance and the new skill may come together.
Beware of those who insist their advice is vital. Their guidance may be more ego than fact
As an earth sign, you are practical, and your ideas are very clear, but as you well know, not everybody around you is quite as practical. And, in fact, they’ll often come up with ideas that are so wild, you can’t even believe they’ve thought of them.
Yet at the same time, the more you talk with them and the more you explore their ideas, you realize that although some of what they have in mind is pretty far out, on the other hand, some of the ideas that they have to share are fascinating, if not a very real gift—simply because it is something you never would have thought of yourself. And this is the important point about expanding your activities. Not figuring it out yourself, but allowing space for those around you—family, friends, colleagues, or neighbors—to add something exciting to your life. Allow them to bring something new.
This process of exchanging ideas is something people talk about a lot. But for you as a Virgo, often you will allow others’ ideas to influence your own. In this particular case, the lesson for you is actually to learn to accept others’ ideas, to embrace them, and in some cases, to embrace their point of view with enthusiasm as well. It will add to your life, whatever you are doing, and it will add to your life for the rest of your days.
As a Virgo, and somebody who has a clear sense of what works and what doesn’t, you will often be in the role of teaching—that is, adding information to others. Yet at the same time, often they will have things to show you. The most important thing you can do? It’s to listen.
There are lots of way to feel good, and in fact sometimes when you don’t feel so great, you will find that you’re suddenly healed, not by having the right thing to eat, or the right medication, but by great company. That is one of the most important ways to take care of yourself.
Every once in a while, you need new goals. You need a new hill to climb. However, finding that hill is a skill, and it may involve asking the guidance of others in a way you wouldn’t usually do possibly, so the guidance and the new skill may come together.
Sooner or later, you’ll need to disentangle yourself from an arrangement that once made sense, but no longer does. The problem is, the actual process will involve facts, figures, or the kinds of formalities you loathe. Tempting as it is, putting it off achieves nothing. The sooner you tackle this, 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.
