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.
There's nothing you'd like better today than a few treats, so work out how you can pamper yourself. If the day's your own, you might decide to spend it being as lazy as possible, but if you're supposed to be working you'll have to fit in some hedonism around your day-to-day schedule. Don't worry, it can be done, and you won't have to spend a fortune in the process because even modest treats will do the trick. Fortunate colours are bright gold and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 7 and 15.
There are no flies on you this Sunday, especially when it comes to topics that require careful thought. Your powers of concentration are ace, and you're also thinking in very rational and logical ways. This is the perfect day for making important decisions or discussing your plans with other people. Make the most of this matter-of-fact mentality while it lasts. Empowering colours are turquoise and bright red. Lucky numbers are 16 and 28.
Your relationships will take on even more significance than usual during the coming four weeks, so try to spend plenty of time with some of the people in your life. You'll be much more forgiving than usual, and prepared to overlook the sort of little foibles and habits that usually make you grit your teeth with irritation. You may even take this one step further and forgive someone for a major transgression. Good for you! Ideal colours are strawberry and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 9 and 28.
Do yourself a favour and mix with people who are a bit different, or even eccentric today. It will do you good and bring out an unexpected side of your personality that could do with an airing. You may even be rather shocked by the way you behave, especially if you're usually quite buttoned-up and self-controlled. It's time to let down your guard and live a little! Energising colours are peacock blue and iridescent green. Lucky numbers are 25 and 18.
There's a Full Moon today and it's going to affect your personal life during the coming two weeks. This means it's a great opportunity for you to get rid of anything that you no longer need, such as any clutter that you've collected or that spare tyre round your waist. Alternatively, maybe you need to get rid of some bad habits, such as always putting yourself down or taking a negative attitude to life. Fortunate colours are bronze and lemon. Lucky numbers are 26 and 66.
Spare some time for someone who's feeling under the weather today. Whether or not you think they're as ill as they're saying, it's a good idea to give them your support and possibly even to do a few chores for them. Maybe you could do some shopping for them, plump up their pillows or simply hold their hand? If they live too far away for all that, why not give them a ring or send them a card to cheer them up? Opportunistic colours are crimson and black. Lucky numbers are 26 and 28.
Someone has a way with words this Tuesday - fiery, spirited and not afraid to say what they think, yet they won't become abusive or rude in the process. Maybe you could learn from this in some way, especially if you're usually very careful about giving others the right impression of yourself? Perhaps it's time to be rather more daring than usual? Auspicious colours are plum and lavender. Lucky numbers are 5 and 52.
It's a good day for spending money, provided that you do it wisely and aren't buying things purely to keep yourself amused. If a household appliance or work-related item has been playing up lately, this is a good day either to get it mended or to buy a replacement. At some point, you could be on the receiving end of someone's confidences, so listen carefully. Beneficial colours are tangerine and blackberry. Lucky numbers are 35 and 72.
You'll have to scrape your eyebrows off the ceiling when you hear what a certain person has to say for themselves! They may say things that are shocking, controversial or the complete opposite of what they usually think, so be prepared. But you should also consider that they may be deliberately trying to wind you up by saying the most outrageous things they can think of, so maybe you won't want to give them the satisfaction of rising to the bait? Favourable colours are silvery blue and avocado. Lucky numbers are 4 and 30.
It's easy to get on well with others today, thanks to your easy going attitude and ability to chat to all and sundry. You don't have to talk about anything terribly important, either, so don't worry if most of your conversations hinge on everyday matters or the latest gossip. At some point, you'll enjoy taking part in a group activity, such as getting together with a gang of friends. Fortunate colours are ivory and gold. Lucky numbers are 4 and 75.
The astrological emphasis is slowly switching from work to your relationships, and it takes another step in that direction today. During the next four weeks you'll discover a lot about yourself by being with other people. For example, you might get a better idea of what you think about something by discussing it with someone else, and you'll also feel more complete when you're with people than when you're by yourself. Auspicious colours are pale pink and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 36 and 75.
The last thing on your mind today is anything even remotely resembling hard work. Instead, you're in the mood to be lazy, self indulgent and relaxed. That's wonderful if you can postpone anything energetic for the day, but it isn't such great news if you're expected to pull your weight because you'll struggle to do a good job. It's also a difficult day for following a strict diet or exercise regime because your willpower has gone walkabout. Opportunistic colours are umber and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 22 and 31.
You can love someone to bits, but if you can't communicate with them your relationship will always be an uphill struggle. Well, the next couple of weeks are the ideal opportunity for you to work hard at improving your communications with some of the people in your life. For instance, if you and your other half never seem to find time for a proper discussion, work out how you can change that and start talking to each other again. Beneficial colours are taupe and navy. Lucky numbers are 2 and 63.
You need to prove yourself today, especially if it involves demonstrating that you're a person in your own right, with your own idiosyncrasies and unusual habits. The last thing you want right now is to be labelled neatly and put in a pigeon-hole, and if anyone looks as though that's what they're trying to do you'll find ways of reminding them that you're much more of an individual than that. Dynamic colours are fuchsia and silver. Lucky numbers are 5 and 56.
There isn't as much romance around as you'd like this Monday, which is a shame given the date. It seems that instead of being caught up in sweet nothings, you've got your hands full with work-related topics. You may also have to spend more time than you'd like listening to a colleague who doesn't know when to shut up. Break it to them gently that you've got other things to do besides listening to them. Passionate colours are burgundy and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 24 and 10.
You're eager to ferret out facts and important pieces of information today, and you won't be happy until you've found out exactly what's going on. This shouldn't be too difficult because other people are being surprisingly forthcoming right now, but even so you should know where to draw the line and not pry into things that don't concern you. In your spare time, you'll enjoy getting engrossed in puzzles, quizzes and other brainteasers. Fortunate colours are mahogany and topaz. Lucky numbers are 25 and 32.
This is a great day for getting things done and sorting out problems, so try to get to grips with as many difficulties as possible while you're in the mood. This goes for your relationships as well as more mundane matters, so if a loved one is being awkward you should try to get to the bottom of what's going on. Are they unhappy about something? Have you done something to upset them? If in doubt, ask! Practical colours are blue and blossom. Lucky numbers are 25 and 14.
A certain someone wants to call the shots today and they won't like it if they can't get their own way. Let's hope that you aren't the one who wants to be boss because, if so, it will make you rather unpopular. If you're dealing with a loved one who's behaving like this, you'll resent it if they have the final word and could therefore get involved in a tiring battle of wills. Come on, Virgo, is it really worth the hassle? Vibrant colours are crimson and ash. Lucky numbers are 21 and 49.
You're raring to go this Thursday, even when faced with lots of work. Actually, you'll take pride in getting as much done as possible, which is great provided that you don't get into a competition with yourself and end up cutting corners in order to finish things off quickly. Right now, it's far better to do things properly than to rush through them and have to do them again later on. So be methodical and take your time! Beneficial colours are copper and banana. Lucky numbers are 27 and 11.
Someone gives you a much-needed boost this Wednesday. They might encourage you to do something you really want to try, or they could give you a pat on the back about something you've already done. Either way, you'll feel more positive and cheerful for having seen this person. If you're trying to pluck up the courage to ask someone out, this is a great day to do it. It should go much better than you'd feared. Ideal colours are mauve and navy. Lucky numbers are 34 and 50.
You need to exercise some caution when listening to colleagues and medical people today because you could easily misunderstand what they tell you. For instance, you might talk to a workmate and then draw the wrong conclusions from what they've said, or if you're attending a medical appointment you might read the worst possible meaning into what a doctor tells you. Do your best to stick to the facts and stop your imagination running riot. Auspicious colours are opalescence and fawn. Lucky numbers are 9 and 55.
Life looks pretty good from where you're standing. Even if things could be better, you're taking a positive attitude to them and determined to make the most of what you've got. If you're at work, there could be good news about a promotion, perk or pay rise, and you'll also get a great big pat on the back for all the good work you've done lately. Stable colours are black and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 12 and 27.
Your libido gets a massive boost from today, and you'll be pretty hot stuff for the next few weeks. This could be very good news if you're already with a partner but if you're currently single and on the prowl it might mean that you confuse lust with love. The weeks ahead will also be great for taking some enjoyable physical exercise and you might even fancy getting involved in a competitive sport and showing everyone what you're capable of. Auspicious colours are russet and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 29 and 13.
Once again you're in a go-getting mood, particularly when it comes to doing things around the house. You might be inspired to have a blitz on the garden or to raid the kitchen cupboards for all those things that have long since passed their use-by date. It's important that you keep busy because otherwise you'll start to feel agitated, restless and ever so slightly irritable. Stable colours are spring green and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 28 and 45.
If you tackle the tasks that await you, and get some of those odd jobs out of the way, today will be very satisfying and enjoyable. This may not sound like a recipe for happiness but you'll be delighted by the progress you make, especially if you get to grips with some of those chores that have been hanging fire for ages. You might even be inspired to carry on the good work tomorrow. Healing colours are primrose and magenta. Lucky numbers are 11 and 2.
If you're a typical Virgo you aren't always in the most robust of health, and today you certainly need to take extra care of yourself. That's because you don't have as much energy as usual, and also because you could be more susceptible to germs than normal. This doesn't mean you should wrap yourself in cotton wool or swab yourself in disinfectant, but just be sensible and try to avoid anyone who's a one-man germ factory. Stabilising colours are nutmeg and silver. Lucky numbers are 26 and 41.
Concentrate on your working relationships this month because they'll be very rewarding. You might want to make a special fuss of one of your colleagues, perhaps because they've had a bad time recently or simply because you adore them. Or it would be a good idea to make an effort to get on better with that so-and-so whose special task in life seems to be getting right up your nose. Sounds impossible? Give it a try and see what happens. Beneficial colours are sage green and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 12 and 32.
Are you trying to do too much? It certainly looks like it, and it's making you feel bad-tempered, frazzled and nervy. Do your best to slow down and take things at a more measured pace, otherwise you'll waste all your nervous energy in panicking and trying to beat the clock. You can't cram several days' worth of activities into only a few hours, so concentrate on the priorities and let everything else look after itself. Advantageous colours are violet and cream. Lucky numbers are 39 and 19.
