Week of May 16 to May 22

We don’t have to always look to the stars for certain signs and portents. We have concrete signs that we are over stimulated by media overload and the frenetic pace of American living. Here are a few:

Newspaper circulation declines 2% each year.

viewing is down with no measurable reason.

While some people like to point to internet use for these declines its is clear that people are not looking for news content or information about the world in general. A look at the top five internet activities shows MySpace usage at the top with 11%, followed by Yahoo (8.5%) msn.com (3.7%), Ebay (3.7%) and google (2.1%).

A bizarre wardrobe malfunction marked one of the pop singer’s recent concerts highlighting the difficulties sun sign Virgos are having in maintaining the image of the perfection to which they aspire. Detail oriented and driven to maintain the highest standards, Beyonce most likely was mortified when she realized the impact the one second revelation had on the performance.

Virgos need to keep busy. They love to help and they love to serve. No one is a better nurse than a Virgo, and no one understands better the meticulousness demanded of the profession. Details bore most people. Virgos delight in them. It doesn’t matter that they can’t see the forest for the trees, a happy collection of the most tedious minutia will keep them sorting and cataloguing for hours. These are the people who, of all things, store their winter clothes in summer and swap them back out at the appropriate time in the fall.

Their prodigious powers of observation aren’t confined to the jots and tittles of life. When not cleaning out the gutters, rearranging the sock drawer and cleaning the basement, making sure each group of items is in a hermetically sealed and appropriately marked plastic tubs, they turn their attention to you. You’ll find your best qualities and faults catalogued, analyzed and quantified. After a Virgo identifies your most grievous faults you find yourself in in the middle of a home improvement project–you. You’ll be treated a generous helping of thoughtful suggestions on how to fix yourself. And if you don’t get the message the first time, they’ll remind you– again and again and again.
