You have been climbing toward something. There is some goal or aspiration of yours that has been on your mind. As you climb, though, it’s been like climbing a steep hill. The dirt keeps slipping beneath your fingers. Tiny pebbles keep showering down on you. And it probably seems like no matter how hard you’ve struggled, you haven’t gotten very far. But there’s great news for you from the stars, Virgo. You are going to rise, and soon. The force is with you now. So whatever resources or assistance you need, you will find it. Amazing progress is imminent.
Someone you have long thought of as principled and highly admirable may have fallen off his or her pedestal. This person has done or said something that you never would have thought possible. Because of this, your opinion of this person has dropped dramatically. Not only has this affected your relationship with this individual, but it has also caused you to question your own judgment. But most people are multifaceted. What you see on the surface are the facets that shine the brightest, but there is usually something much deeper as well. Offer the benefit of the doubt, because in this case the good most likely outshines the negative.
Someone in your world is feeling swept away by a cause or a debate. This person feels passionately about the topic, and it may have come to a point where his or her zealousness is causing a conflict between the two of you. You may not see this individual’s perspective, and that’s the problem. If you want to get along more smoothly, you will have to try to see through your loved one’s eyes. Try to step out of yourself and try to sympathize with this person’s perspective - you don’t have to agree with it, but you will need to at least respect it.
Has someone been smiling at you shyly, Virgo? Have you noticed a come-hither glance from across the room? If so, that’s not your imagination. Your sex appeal is high today, and your charisma is magnified. If you are hoping for a bit of romance, now is the time to step out and wear your heart on your sleeve. If there is a special someone you would like to meet, or get to know, by all means make an overture. If there is an existing relationship that you would like to improve, this is a great time for that also.
You may be beating yourself up or feeling guilty about a mistake, Virgo. But stop for a moment and think about it. What exactly makes a recent venture a mistake? The jury isn’t in yet. You don’t know the outcome of your words and your actions. Something you are looking at as a negative now could very well turn out to be a positive. And not just a positive, but an enormously wonderful opportunity. Before you go making snap judgments about your actions of the last few days, keep in mind that anything can happen, but be an optimist.
This week, Virgo, you will bump into a friend or a family member at a social gathering or perhaps just during your daily activities. You and this person have a passionate but opposing view on a hot topic of debate. In the past, this may have caused a few heated exchanges between the two of you, but you need to set that aside. You may need this person to be on your side in the days or months ahead, so starting (or participating in) an argument that neither can win would be fruitless. Steer clear of controversial issues and talk about the weather instead.
You may be trying to decipher a mixed message, or figure out someone who is less than transparent. Since you aren’t usually a nosy individual, your curiosity must be directly related to your relationship with another person. You need something from someone, and you are having trouble communicating with that person. But you are probably making more out of it than you should. The stars are encouraging you to have more confidence in yourself - but also to have more confidence in others. Be more trusting and more open with someone special, and everything will fall into place.
You may feel like the world is against you today, Virgo, but that is not true. You are going through some difficulties, and you may encounter people who will test your tolerance and your patience. This is a period of growth, and you are experiencing growing pains. But if you look at this period as constructive and positive, and you learn and apply the lessons you are taught over the next few days or weeks, then the experience will be priceless to you in the future. Every challenge you face and deal with will add to your future success.
Pirates have often been portrayed as gallant, romantic figures. With the prevalence of certain swashbuckling movies, many little boys want to be like pirates. But in reality, pirates were anything but gallant - they were cold and ruthless and bloodthirsty. You may now be romanticizing something you see as an opportunity. You may think it will be fun and exciting and possibly even financially lucrative. But beneath the surface it isn’t quite as fabulous as you are imagining it to be. Take a deeper look, Virgo, and when you do be sure to take off your rose-colored glasses.
Do you know how special you are, Virgo? No, really! You can probably recite your skills and the virtues of your character like it’s a shopping list, but you probably don’t realize just how extraordinary you are. You have gotten used to being under-appreciated. Perhaps no one has really “gotten” you recently. Maybe no one you have dealt with lately has seen your true spirit and goodness shine through or, if they have, they haven’t praised you for it. But you are about to meet someone who will truly appreciate you for all that you are, and that person won’t be shy about saying so.
You are a slow mover, Virgo. That’s because you like to measure and plan and avoid potential mistakes. And that’s okay because it makes you very efficient and effective. But someone you are now dealing with may not like your pace. This person is lacking in patience, and always feels the need to keep moving. But that doesn’t mean you have to change your style to make someone else happy. You are involved in something important, so stick with what you know. Your slow and steady progress will win out.
The sky is green and the clouds are blue. You are having or will soon have a difference of opinion with someone you know quite well. But even if it seems totally obvious that your friend or relative is wrong, don’t rush in to a conflict or an argument about it. Although it may seem perfectly clear to you that the sky is blue and the clouds are white, that really may not be what your loved one is seeing. He or she may be wearing tinted lenses, or seeing things from a whole other perspective. You will eventually come to see each other’s point of view. Meanwhile, keep the peace.
Once upon a time a young boy sat in a classroom while his teacher told the class that John Tyler was the ninth president of the United States. Being a studios lad, the boy knew that William Henry Harrison was actually the ninth president, and that John Tyler was the tenth president. But after a lifetime of being told to respect adults and not to question what he was told, he sat silently - knowing all the while that the teacher was wrong. Today, Virgo, you may have to go against the grain. You may have to reject something you’ve been told forever. But if you do, you will break a pattern that needs breaking.
You are determined to got to the bottom of a problem or a conflict that involves someone you know quite well. This person keeps distracting you from the issue, though, with more lighthearted topics. Since you don’t really like conflict, Virgo, you have probably given in and allowed yourself to get sidetracked. But the longer you put it off, the harder it will be to deal with. The next time your friend or loved one diverts from the subject, steer it right back and remain in control. Resolving the issue will be much easier than it seems.
The relationship with a certain special person in your life isn’t always easy. In fact, recently things have been so fraught with frustration that you may have thought about calling it quits. But this person has so much to offer you, Virgo, and you have much to offer him or her as well. The issues you keep repeating could be better handled, but a minor adjustment in how you deal with each other could make a very big difference in how you get along. Explore alternative ways of relating, or perhaps seek out professional guidance, and you could enjoy a much more satisfying relationship.
