Virgo
Born between: August 23rd - Sep 22nd
Dedicated and accomplished are the best ways to describe a Virgo as they have profound morals and are often initiative. However those born under the Virgo star sign need to take extra care to control their temper and be patient.
As 2005 draws to a close, the New Moon heralds the promise of a fresh start in 2006. It's great timing because it will bring you lots of happiness and love during the next couple of weeks. What a great start to the New Year! This could also be your cue to get involved in a creative or artistic venture that will act as a showcase for some of your many skills. Exciting colours are shimmering blue and shimmering purple. Lucky numbers are 33 and 18.
Emotions are rather intense today, making everything seem highly-charged and ultra-important. Do your best not to get so swept along by your profound feelings that you get things out of proportion. For instance, you might get into a stew about something or someone that hurts your feelings, and then brood about it for the rest of the day even though it isn't worth all that angst. Harmonious colours are jade and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 36 and 62.
You need to be with people who are lively and interesting today. Stick-in-the-muds need not apply! They'll bring out the best in you and help you relax and enjoy yourself. If you're meeting someone for the first time today you'll be fascinated by them, especially if they're slightly unusual. Maybe you'll want to see them again? Fortunate colours are amethyst and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 8 and 41.
Someone is being rather difficult today. They seem to be doing their best to trample all over your dreams and ideas, or to say things that leave you feeling worried and anxious. Or are you reading too much into the situation? Try to rise above it rather than to get sucked down into it. And don't tell yourself that the world is against you because it may not be nearly as bad as that. Inspiring colours are navy and dark red. Lucky numbers are 27 and 9.
You're having a really good time at the moment and today is no exception. Get together with some friends or close relatives, or invite the neighbours round for a drink. The festive spirit hasn't left you yet and you have plenty to share with everyone you meet. You're in a very generous mood but try not to get carried away and make promises that you can't keep. Ideal colours are coffee and caramel. Lucky numbers are 28 and 23.
It's another sociable and happy day and you'll enjoy mixing with people who make you laugh. This is a particularly good day for being entertained rather than being the one who's doing the entertaining, and you'll do your best to be a good guest. Besides, it will be a lovely opportunity to get dressed up and make sure you're looking stunning. Fortunate colours are lavender and shimmering gold. Lucky numbers are 7 and 23.
You're all set for a really happy Christmas, and there's no need to worry about any festive spats because everyone is working hard to keep everyone else sweet. As for you, you're in a particularly compassionate and understanding frame of mind, ready to find the good in everyone. There could be an odd coincidence or experience at some point, so watch out for it. Merry colours are silver and shimmering green. Lucky numbers are 29 and 39.
No matter what else you're doing today you'll enjoy having a chat with someone dear to your heart. Maybe you haven't seen them for a while and this is your first opportunity to catch up on all the news, in which case you'll want it to be a special occasion. You should also find the time to check that you have everything you need for the next few days before the shops shut. Liberating colours are cream and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 4 and 59.
Keep a close eye on your spending or it will go haywire. That's especially likely if you're doing your last-minute Christmas shopping and you get into a panic about what to buy certain people. Overspending is one option, but you may not be very happy about it come the New Year when you have to add up the amount of money you burned through in December. If you aren't the one who's spending too much, a loved one is the culprit -- and you won't be very happy about it. Energising colours are dark purple and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 40 and 1.
Are the pre-Christmas preparations starting to get to you? You're rather edgy and bad-tempered today and ready to have a row at a moment's notice. Try not to get caught up in silly little squabbles. Not only will these make you feel even more irritable, they'll also distract you from the things that you really should be doing, such as continuing with your Christmas preparations. Soothing colours are peach and aqua. Lucky numbers are 12 and 30.
The accent starts to switch from your domestic life to your social life from today, and during the next few weeks you'll have a really good time enjoying yourself. If you haven't had much opportunity for parties so far this month, all that should now change as you long to get glammed up and hit the town. It will also be a wonderful time for letting more love into your life, whether it's the platonic or the passionate kind. Auspicious colours are fudge and vanilla. Lucky numbers are 12 and 19.
This is a brilliant day for fixing problems and doing some trouble-shooting. Have a look around your home in case an appliance or gadget is about to let you down, probably just when you need it most. Either get it mended or replace it, but don't leave it to chance. You should also check that you have enough food for the forthcoming holidays. And if you have time, you'll enjoy doing some cooking and perhaps putting it all in the freezer until it's needed. Fortunate colours are satin white and red velvet. Lucky numbers are 4 and 19.
Someone seems to be taking a great delight in being difficult. You say one thing and they say something completely different simply to irritate you. They might also come up with some ideas that sound wacky or crazy to you, or which touch a nerve and make you angry. Try not to let this person get to you to such an extent. They may be deliberately trying to provoke an angry response from you. Ideal colours are violet and plum. Lucky numbers are 15 and 20.
It's a great day for getting on well with other people because you're keen to bring them out of themselves and enjoy their company. But don't be surprised if they want to spend more time with you than you expected, or if you get the impression that they're feeling lonely at the moment. You're in the mood to indulge yourself, especially where food and drink are concerned, even if that means abandoning your diet or healthy eating regime for a short while. Favourable colours are smoky quartz and crimson. Lucky numbers are 38 and 66.
You aren't sure which direction you're heading in today. It's difficult to tell whether you're making progress as you're getting contradictory messages. You may also have to balance a need to look on the bright side with a nagging feeling that all is not well. Your best bet is to avoid going to extremes today and to wait and see what happens. Favourable colours are ivory and pineapple. Lucky numbers are 28 and 77.
A memory is peculiarly persistent today, refusing to leave you alone. As a result it will be difficult to concentrate on much else. It's the same story if you had a powerful dream last night because it will stay with you all day long. A member of the family seems to think that they know what's best for you, even if you beg to disagree. Not that they'll let you say so at the moment because they're being so bossy! Propitious colours are russet and vanilla. Lucky numbers are 3 and 69.
There's a Full Moon today, and it will be affecting your career and long-term plans during the coming fortnight. This is your cue to start thinking about what you've achieved so far this year and what you want to achieve in 2006. Are you on course for success or do you need to change tack? Don't be afraid to cut your losses if you think you aren't getting anywhere, but don't give up altogether. Make a new plan and stick to it! Inspirational colours are pale yellow and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 17 and 13.
It's an awkward, difficult day in which you feel at odds with other people. You don't want to do what's expected of you, especially if it seems restrictive and boring. Instead, you want to do things on the spur of the moment, regardless of the consequences or what other people think. But be careful because some of your actions could turn out to have rather embarrassing ramifications. Loving colours are copper and pastel green. Lucky numbers are 40 and 42.
Someone has a sharp tongue today, flying off the handle for no good reason as far as you can see and they're also being incredibly touchy. Even the smallest word or gesture is being taken the wrong way, making you feel at a disadvantage and worried about setting them off again. Do your best not to get dragged into petty arguments in which you try to score points off each other, although that may be easier said than done. Soothing colours are pistachio and cream. Lucky numbers are 14 and 57.
Your thoughts turn to family and the past and you'll continue in this rather nostalgic and sentimental frame of mind for the rest of the month and into the beginning of January. So don't be surprised if your mind is filled with memories during the next few weeks. You'll also do a lot of thinking about your current domestic set-up, especially if some improvements or changes are in order. Beneficial colours are cobalt and champagne. Lucky numbers are 34 and 56.
Money is burning a hole in your pocket today, whether you're visiting the shops or browsing on the internet. Before you know where you are, you're almost bound to buy something, whether you need it or not. Actually, it's quite likely that you won't need it at all, and even possible that you can't really afford it. So think twice before splurging with your precious cash. Naughty colours are peach and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 12 and 59.
You're finding it easy to say the right thing today, which is great if you're with someone who can be rather tricky at times and who needs to be handled with care. You might even have them eating out of your hand before too long, given half a chance. If you haven't yet finished writing your Christmas cards this is a great day to do it. You might even enjoy the process instead of regarding it as a chore. Fabulous colours are ivory and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 7 and 47.
Yesterday wasn't much fun but you're feeling much more relaxed and upbeat today. If you stepped out of line yesterday, make your apologies now and put the whole thing behind you. If you're going out on the town you'll have a brilliant time, especially if you're dressed to the teeth or are with a very special person. It will be a night to remember. Beneficial colours are dark purple and lilac. Lucky numbers are 11 and 30.
Someone is on the warpath today. Mind you, it might be you, in which case everyone should be wary of you The trouble is that someone is harking back to the past and feeling aggrieved as a result, perhaps because they think they were hard-done-by in some way. And this grievance is making them feel angry with the rest of the world. If this is an apt description of you, try not to take out your irritation on people who have nothing to do with the situation. Beneficial colours are umber and lemon. Lucky numbers are 37 and 42.
Does someone need looking after? Maybe they aren't feeling very well or they've been having a rough time of it lately and they could do with some tea and sympathy. Whatever is wrong, you'll do your best to help out and make their life that little bit easier. If you're spending the day at home you'll enjoy taking life easy and having a relaxing time for a change. Even busy Virgos like you need to catch their breath every now and then. Harmonious colours are lapis lazuli and chestnut. Lucky numbers are 27 and 44.
It's one of those days when you take a certain satisfaction from getting on with mundane chores and routine duties. It will give you a strong sense of everything being right with the world when you've been able to tick off the items on your list of things to do. Besides, as a Virgo you need to know that your life is running smoothly and in an orderly fashion, and today you're left in no doubt about that. Sensitive colours are hyacinth and treacle. Lucky numbers are 16 and 3.
Virgo is full of beans today, so it's all energetic and bouncy. You'll hardly be able to sit still because you'd much rather keep moving. However, there's a strong chance that you might do too much and end up feeling exhausted. Be especially careful if you're doing some exercise, because you could push yourself too far and do yourself an injury, such as pulling a muscle. Stabilising colours are pale pink and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 33 and 5.
You've had to mind your Ps and Qs in recent days because you had a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Happily, that problem has now passed but you may still have to pick up the pieces, perhaps apologizing for upsetting someone or being tactless. Check that important pieces of post haven't gone astray, too, and that they've arrived safely at their correct destination. Auspicious colours are navy and hazel. Lucky numbers are 1 and 72.
This is a perfect day for making plans connected with your home and domestic arrangements. And you'll want everything to run smoothly so you won't leave any room for potential snags or difficulties. If you've been meaning to have a quiet word in a loved one's ear, do it now while you're in the right mood. Let them know that they have your support, even if you aren't entirely happy with their current behaviour. Harmonious colours are aqua and salmon. Lucky numbers are 14 and 47.
Someone has a bee in their bonnet today and it's making them obsessed about something. They can't talk about anything else or they make it plain that they're very upset about it and manage to convey that you're the person who should fix it for them. This may not be possible, and it might not even be fair, so keep a look out for emotional blackmail. Expansive colours are indigo and mustard. Lucky numbers are 36 and 56.
Today's New Moon is encouraging you to spend a lot of time on your home and family life during the next couple of weeks. Maybe you've been too busy to devote as much time as you'd like to your nearest and dearest recently, in which case this is the time to make amends. If you've been thinking about moving house this might be when you finally decide to do something concrete about it, even if you don't actually put your plan into action until the New Year. Beneficial colours are brass and avocado. Lucky numbers are 16 and 35.
