Virgo is a mutable, Earth sign and ruled by Mercury.
This means they are mental folks. Their mental attitude is being of service. Unlike Leo, Virgo does not need the constant limelight. They just want perfection.
To those born with the sun in Virgo, the need to be perfect is their deepest dream. Not only do they want to be perfect, they also want to help others reach the same goal. Because of this desire, some people consider the Virgo critical, while this Earth sign is merely trying to help others reach perfection. Work and service are extremely important parts of the life of a Virgo. They are known to overwork and underspend.
It is a real challenge to keep up with the goals of Virgo since they spend most of their time working and they really work hard. This is exactly what they love to do.

New moon in Virgo on Monday makes it a handsome day to start a new project or go after and find a soul mate. After all, both the sun and moon in Virgo makes it a day of days. Venus in Leo and Mars in Scorpio provide a vibe which could cause some discontent among some people in your social circle. So watch what you have to say and do during the next gathering of pals.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) As you review your goals for the coming weeks, spend a few minutes and slow down. Although you may want to take steps to improve your life, if you move too fast, you will be sorry. Just remember the results in the past of your quick decisions, then slow down and smell the roses. You will be glad you did.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Life may be a slight struggle now, but if you keep moving along, you will find the rainbow at the end of the tunnel. The answer to your present situation is finding a way to de-stress and then using it. A new face in the crowd could certainly bring some cheer to use while working through life now.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Sharpen your communication skills and let others know what you are doing. Once you are in the career situation you really want, then find out how you can do even more. A relationship in need of TLC could use some of your attention and then it will move in the direction you really want to see.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) If you are not in the spot you want right now, then it is time to dust off some of your real dreams and go for it. The time has come to stop asking what is in store for you and make the big decision. A new job, lover or more education, they are all waiting for you to make the big move.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) If you are not on the gravy train this week, you are on the wrong route. Understand that until you are loving life and enjoying success, you just won’t stop trying. Let a friend help you and it will turn out just fine. Jupiter in Leo promises plenty of opportunities. Your job is to grab them.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) The time has come to change your agenda and put work second in your life. You may need more relaxation and less work. In that way you will broaden your lifestyle and bring a new BFF to your social circle. Also, work demands will bring more money into your life.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) Your life is becoming action-packed, but don’t let it put you into a zone where it actually turns your living arrangements inside out. Take things easy and talk to a good pal before making any final decisions on exactly what you are going to do. Your style has always been easy and loving.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) A good friend could be a heavy influence in your life right now. You don’t want to lose the pal, you just want to slow down. Keep your eye on your lifestyle and remember how hard you worked to get it your way. Don’t blow it by moving too fast when you actually should be standing still and waiting.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) Although you are feeling the influence of glorious planetary aspects, it would be wise to remember all that glitters is not gold. Change your lifestyle but hang on to a few of your past habits, plus stay away from unnecessary power plays.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) Look around at who you are attracting into your life now and know it is your change of attitude that has changed your life. A whole new world is opening up to you and, if you want to keep it that way, take it easy. It is good to remember that sometimes we are our own worst enemy.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) Take some time to keep in touch with those you love. To do otherwise is false and should not be part of your lifestyle now. Also, remember not to let any unfound success go to your head or you will be the one to pay. An old pal would love to hear about your latest challenge.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) Watch your finances when it comes to any business deals you may be involved in now. Check and recheck everything involving work decisions and then don’t worry. A friend could use some TLC and you are certainly one person who can give it. Make a call and do your good deed.
