: virgo - your year in the stars :
Your astrological year runs from one birthday to the next. Last year was not the easiest you’ve seen, with the lengthy stay of Mars, the main feature for eight months out of a possible twelve. You’ll be relieved that Mars does not come near your sign during the period in question then and although it circuits the zodiac in under two years, it doesn’t do anything so drastic for another eighty. Thus your coming twelve months, promise to be a bunch more manageable than those that preceded them. Since you like to feel useful and are more focussed on employment matters than many, you’ll be pleased to discover these also proving very fruitful for your professional and business interests.

The past few years have certainly been an eye-opener wherever these and other prominent ambitions were concerned, as the cosmos ruthlessly and often mercilessly pointed out where your plans didn’t hold water and in several instances were actually, little short of flawed. Finances have been tight as a consequence, which to a cautious and careful individual like yourself appeared quite scary on occasions, but presently you can feel confident you are slowly emerging from the worst of these circumstances. Those sources of income you depend on these days have a sounder basis than the ones you were hoping you would have embraced beforehand. Although not an experience you’d wish to repeat, you appreciate their elimination was a necessary experience, to focus your attention on the realities of your situation.
Once you know certain plans aren’t going to work, no matter how lucrative and profitable they’ve proven for others in the past, you can start moving forwards with a renewed sense of purpose and a better perspective on what is right for you. Admittedly in the first instance these developments did look like quite a setback, yet in retrospect they’ve left you in a more solid position. This year sees Jupiter orbiting around the apex of your horoscope, suggesting an enormous boost for all your career affairs. Your luck is in and you discover, those efforts you make to further your ambitions will initiate excellent returns, especially prior to the end of June 2013.

But you’ll still need to grasp the starry nettle because no matter how auspicious, these aren’t the sort of celestial influences that force themselves upon you or queue up to break down your door. Jupiter rules foreign travel and those from other parts of the world, education in the broadest sense, publishing, people from diverse backgrounds and other walks of life, plus interests with a philosophical principle behind them that don’t exist for the sole purpose of making money. Wherever you can incorporate these factors into your expectations for the future and your career goals, broadening your horizons and enlarging the scope of your activities simultaneously, the more you’ll find Jupiter assists your progress and brings further expansion within your reach, in turn.

From October, Saturn leaves the financial sector of your birthchart where it has been causing trouble for almost three years. Use the weeks leading up to this point to ensure your economic affairs are in the best possible order, that any budding strategies have been thoroughly implemented and that all the outstanding loose ends are carefully tidied away. Aim for a clean slate and a firm foundation where you are able. Forget about those idealistic ideas, that turned out to be disappointingly impractical in the end.
: virgo - august 2012/august 2013 :
Concentrate instead on a new array of tried, tested and more modest goals that could take additional study for you to pursue with complete effectiveness, but that ought then to suit your abilities and aspirations totally down to the ground. Also for one reason or another, your relationships have proven confusing, undermining, hurtful and downright infuriating during the recent past. It could be your choice of confidant, because you seem to go out of your way to attract those who will disappoint you and who although perhaps not deliberately deceptive, favour the use of smoke and mirrors when getting their angle to the forefront. Your expectations of a partner on a business level or more personally are extremely high, so it is possible no one from the human race can satisfactorily hit these heights just at the moment.

You’ve been hurt before and it is only natural to assume this kind of damage might happen again someday. Thus, you protect yourself accordingly and that is often wise, especially when it comes to any shared financial dealings. Nevertheless at the same time it is important to consider your own attitude and responses, that on occasions stand in the way of happy and enduring associations. You have your contribution to make and there are those around who possess less knowledge and fewer skills, but who still manage to come out with lots more in their favour. Only your path is not a solitary one and you’ll end up a lesser person if all you do, is compete with those who’d otherwise be your compatriots. At the end of the day it is a balancing act, between fulfilling your personal destiny and ending up by yourself.
