VIRGO

The Virgin, called pure and strict, criticizing and analytical.  The sign of Virgo brings us the last days of summer, and the beginning preparation for fall.  Now it's time to get serious, young animals less interested in play, as they sense a changing season approaching and the plants are ripening fruits, developing seeds, approaching the harvest phase.  It's time to cut out the nonsense. That's Virgo.  Wherever Virgo occupies your chart you have the instinct to streamline, organize and improve efficiency.  This isn't accomplished by trying to find and eliminate every flaw in everyone you know, but by tirelessly seeking a better way.  This is where you have endless capacity for the effort required to improve, and the patience and attention you figure out how.
