Astrology for the Week of August 17 through August 23

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.

If their agile minds aren’t kept busy enough, they’ll turn their attentions to themselves, but not in a selfish, vain kind of way. No. They start analyzing their aches and pains, in the interest of preventative medicine. They love homeopathic remedies and will start applying them to themselves “just to make sure.� Vitamins are another area worth studying. If you want to know the function of vitamin K, they can tell you. They also are a proponent of health foods. Red meat is a no no, organic vegetables are best. Break out the bean burgers, the grill is ready.

This week:

Leo- you’ve got everything going for you, but it just won’t run. Strange stops and starts mar your plans. Perceiving the real problem is the problem.

Aries, Sagittarius,and Gemini dream of vacations in foreign lands, though a short hop Busch Gardens just may have to do.

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn–Shock the monkey! At least that is how you’ll feel when you receive criticism for doing things the same way you’ve always have. Update work methods.

Libra , the heavens open and the angels sing. At least that is how it will seem on the 18th when lovely harmonious aspects graces your sign. The catch? You must make a decision. Hah!

Aquarius–You hate to tell them you told them so, but then again, no you don’t. They’ll be crying when they realize they’ve lost you to the competition.

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces–As the planet of communication slides into the sign of Virgo, you find your voice. Unfortunately, no one is interested in listening. Put it a letter that you will never mail. In a few days, better opportunities for thinking out loud will form.
