What the stars above Ulmo’s water tell the Virgo:
Virgos are very practical. They are real toilers, and wither if there’s nothing to do. The patron of Virgos – Mercury – endowed his children with smart hands, quick-wittedness and the ability to taxi any situation to the track of their benefit. They have persistence, which it is hard to shake, and desire to be helpful. A Virgo learns in the process of the work, and sometimes their carefulness in fulfilling the set task overpasses that of their mentors. At their best, Virgos are sober and able to calculate every step they make. They do not rely on intuition and emotions, and life often proves that their choice is right. At home, this sign is caring and bound to the loved ones, although its representatives not always express it, preferring the trustworthiness of relations to the manifestation of their feelings.

The month ahead:
You are ready to see everything in black colours and take everything close to heart. Relax, it’s not as bad as you think. The inner self may demand the radical change of its outer shell, so this month the calmest will be plague with an urge to visit the hairdresser’s or to buy a garment which will be out of their common style, and the stormiest souls will have a tattoo or a very exotic kind of piercing. Tear the old chains into shreds, let them melt like snow – and you’ll flourish together with the spring.

The dark side of the Virgo:
You’re extremely lucky – it is most likely, that you’re that unique sign that is not demolished by critics, and even benefits from it. That’s why you’re sincerely puzzled when the constructive observations you make reduce people to nervous breakdown. Be a little milder on your imperfect friends. What can you do if they were not so lucky as to be born Virgos?

And by the way, the work will still be there, if you leave it for a moment. You’re too precious to kill yourself over it.
