For you, setting half-goals may seem a real compromise. However, if you do that, you will soon realize it gives you the option to alter those goals, and to include new ones. And, even more than that, to explore in a way that is as helpful as it is delightful.
Kindness takes minutes and, usually, no money. Yet others treat it as if it were gold
As a Virgo, you tend to want a single plan, and to focus on one thing at a time. Yet, as you’ve discovered, because you are inquisitive by nature and you enjoy learning about what other people are doing, you tend to turn that single plan you had in mind into a variety of activities, some of which involve others, some of which you’re sharing with them, and a few that are merely about you giving advice.
However, what happens is, it fills your day, and your mind, and can sometimes be overwhelming—unless you do something which is very difficult for you as a Virgo, and that is, care very little about the outcome.
To you, things being done perfectly is a passion. Yet in some cases, it actually isn’t yours to deal with, while in others, if you stop worrying about the outcome being perfect, then you’ll simply do what you can each day. And what will happen as a result of that is you’ll enjoy what you accomplish on that day.
Then, when the day is over, you will be able to relax, instead of worrying about what will happen next. This is one of the greatest skills for you, as a Virgo, and someone who hurls yourself into life, to learn. It is not just to take a deep breath, but it’s to truly relax. And to find the right people with whom you can enjoy downtime as well—individuals you might regard as your relaxation gurus.
In certain situations, you have to tolerate people, whoever they are. But in others, you have a choice, and one of the most important choices you can make is to get away from those who complain, and complain as regularly as possible. They don’t belong in your life.
Every once in a while, you think it is a good idea to ramp up your physical activities, to eat strictly, to get out and perhaps go for a run, or to work out a lot. Actually, often what’s best is to adopt something a bit gentler, and that is, be kind to yourself.
For you, setting half-goals may seem a real compromise. However, if you do that, you will soon realize it gives you the option to alter those goals, and to include new ones. And, even more than that, to explore in a way that is as helpful as it is delightful.
Life often brings surprises, yet those you remember best are the ones that were challenging. The surprises coming your way now will be memorable for other reasons. While you may be short of reassuring facts to begin with, once you get involved, you will recognize just how promising they are.
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.
