You are no shrinking violet by any means. There's a raging storm inside you, one that needs regular venting to keep from boiling over. Part of the fighting spirit comes from the birth number 9's influence. Ideals and the desire to create a better future are well and good, but there are some things that can't be fixed by fighting. This lesson is very hard for you, as you've got lots of courage and fortitude, but a short fuse.

Try to channel that brave spirit in positive ways. Look to careers that push you physically, like being a karate instructor or physical education coach. That will help burn off a little of that tough scrappiness, and also improve your sleep patterns, which often get interrupted when you're convinced trouble's afoot. Speaking of which, stop seeing specters around every corner. Not everything is a battle waiting to happen, and there are some things from which you should just walk away.

Another option that might help today's Virgo is sex — lots of it! This Virgin is already a hot, zealous lover, so why not make the most of it? Find a partner who's creative and energetic in bed to help release some of that pent-up energy.
