Like most Virgos, quality is very important to you. You work methodically, and you think through every little detail, placing under a microscope your every observation. One stumbling block for you in 2001 will be to see the forest for the trees, to not get so lost in the details that you get left behind by the changes that will be taking place. If you can assert your exacting standards and yet remain alert and flexible, this year could bring much personal evolution.
Jupiter, Planet of Philosophy and Good Fortune, begins the year in Gemini, giving you an opportunity to capitalize on your knack for those aforementioned details. Put your mind to use, as this placement portends wealth and luck by way of the intellect. Watch what you say, though, Virgo. Your perfectionism could make you say some hurtful things to those around you. You're one tough critic, but you are also a loyal friend with the most honorable intentions. When Jupiter shifts to Cancer in April, spend your time with family and your energy on humanitarian efforts. Invite your loved ones over for a weekly potluck: Their love and companionship will be especially enriching at this time. And the stability of family could be just what you need this year. You may pull up your personal roots and move to a new home or a new town, or you may just heed a redecorating urge. A shift in family dynamics could feel unsettling at first, but the change is natural and was bound to happen sooner or later. Welcome change, rather than fight it, Virgo. Everyone knows you like to be in control, and you still can be. Just don't let anyone know!
Travel may call to you in the first few months of the year. If you decide to get away, it's important that you learn the rules and customs of any locale you visit. The more you allow yourself to fall into the rhythms and customs of your destination, the richer and more rewarding your experience becomes. Live outside your guide book, studious Virgo! Be spontaneous and open-minded, and you'll learn more than any sight-seeing tour could teach you.
By the time the winter holidays roll around, you'll be so warmed up and broken in by all the changes you've been through that the Saturn retrograde and Mercury's time in change-demanding Aquarius won't even phase you! Enjoy your friendships and love affairs and give generously to those in need. |
