Virgo [Aug 23 – Sept 22]

Virgo is a perfectionist and works hard, which can result in workaholism and lead to mental stress. You set exacting standards for yourself and for others, and may be overaly critical if those standards are not met. Lowering your expectations slightly would set more realistic, achievable goals.

In striving for an orderly, organized life, however, you may become permickety and pedantic. Virgo is a fastidious sign and many Virgos have an obsessive interest in hygiene.

But one thing is certain, as a Virgo you are at home in your body – well – coordinated and efficient in your movements.

With Virgo’s traditional links with health, a career in health r hygiene will utilize your need to serve others – pharmacy may fit the bill. You may also enjoy working for a charity or care organization because helping others is one of your strongest instincts.
