The trick to making the best of the twists and turns that occur frequently in your life is to recognize that each is an opportunity—not simply to learn something, but to thrive on the process of making your brain cells work harder.
There is no more powerful passion than one that has been tested by time and reflection
If you could live life on your own, if you had your own little planet, or your own island you lived on, it would be a lot easier. Because then you could make the plans you needed to make without having to deal with others.
But as you have learned, not everybody is a Virgo, and you do have to deal with others, which means that you face questions that are unsettling, shake-ups in plans you’ve made, and individuals whose priorities are very different from yours.
All of which means that turning a plan into action can be difficult. Yet at the same time, you’re aware that those individuals have an amazing touch when it comes to making things happen, and to life itself, and it is something that you rather envy.
That touch has to do with spontaneity, that you as a Virgo don’t always allow to emerge from your character. And this is a big lesson for you: to let those unexpected events, surprise invitations, or developments you didn’t foresee to become a part of your life.
They will broaden your horizons and bring a kind of joy that you might not know how to do, at least initially, but it is something that you, being a clever Virgo, and someone who’s very good at learning what you need to learn, can pick up on. You will have to allow those who are very good at doing joy teach you.
Not surprisingly, when you are organizing things with others, you are tempted to take the lead. However, the fact is not everybody around you is interested in the same things as you, or in the same depth. The trick is to compromise. Take turns.
There is a tendency to think that health and well-being have entirely to do with how you eat and how you take care of yourself. But they are also about learning different skills—about adding new activities to your thinking, and even more, exercising your mind as well.
The trick to making the best of the twists and turns that occur frequently in your life is to recognize that each is an opportunity—not simply to learn something, but to thrive on the process of making your brain cells work harder.
Being interested in others is one thing, but there are one or two individuals who seem to think that you will be there for them, whatever your other commitments. Thus, saying a firm no can be very difficult indeed. That is, however, exactly what you’ll have to do, or face yet more unrealistic demands.
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.
