Virgo: Six Month Horoscope

VIRGO August 23 - September 22

CAREER, MONEY, SUCCESS
It's true you have a way of avoiding what you don't want to deal with, but even you are now eager to cut the ties constraining you.

Cosmic timing is with you - Jupiter, the luck planet, is pulling opposite to Virgo, opening a cycle of freedom. The immediate order of business is to let go of an alliance that has served its purpose. This is not a loss, but a moving on.

The fact that Virgo is considered the sign of service means you possess the power and talents to change the world. In this new era of expansion, you'll turn your attention to a venture you believe in. Recently, you've been handling difficult chores that have boosted your self-confidence. Trust your taste. In the next six months, you'll take a highly innovative idea - and the input of a number of people - to launch a down-to-earth project that fills a need. Oddly, no-one else has thought of doing this work in quite the same way. Meanwhile, another location beckons, and you might be about to move home, or deal with people at a distance. You usually like to operate under the radar, but you're in a life cycle that emphasises your theatrical side.

LOVE AND SEX
Virgo has the reputation of not being able to see the forest for the trees. However, what you've experienced in a recent relationship has helped you to look at your life in larger terms. Even if you still feel in emotional chaos, you have, in fact, settled something in your heart. In the past, you either viewed a lover through rose-tinted glasses, or you became discouraged and disillusioned - nothing in between. But you now see that the highs and lows of a complicated love drama were a wonderful lesson in trusting your feelings, instead of relying on logic.

This has helped you to become more spontaneous and patient. You begin the next six months ready to love deeply. Mars, the passion planet, has just entered Virgo, promising you'll find great joy,
permanence and a sexual release. You're letting go of your "must do" and "should do" attitude, and allowing your intensity to express itself. As your birthday approaches, you'll go on a risky love
journey that may involve a change in career. You might feel a bit anxious, but, by November, you'll discover that wherever the two of you are is the centre.
