September 1

You're a Virgin with high expectations of yourself and everyone you know. This means being a bit hypercritical and easily disheartened when anyone doesn't measure up to a perceived potential. That tendency often leads you to doing everything yourself, feeling you'd rather just get it done right than be frustrated yet again. Unfortunately, not everything in life can be controlled, and if you spread yourself too thin you're going to be very disappointed in the outcomes, something that your birth number of 1 won't tolerate. You know you want to succeed, but sometimes you have to accept bronze or silver instead of always coveting gold.

As a career path, you have a rather odd caregiver tendency, but not with people so much as situations. You have no patience for messes. And since you can't sit still easily, you will take matters in hand and begin to re-order that situation. Most often people appreciate the help, but sometimes it takes you into places where you really have no business being. One way to avoid that is to direct personal energy toward careers that fulfill Virgo's need to stay on the go, such as a tour guide.

When it comes to relationships, friendship is okay, but love certainly isn't at the top of the list in priorities. Really, you are too busy to develop anything serious. On the rare occasion when someone manages to get your attention, that partner must be incredibly loyal, devoted, and understanding.

Gift idea: a surprise day of leisure (as far away from the job as possible).
