Let’s talk about astrology!

Astrology can give us a glimpse of a person’s basic characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, fears, and attitudes toward life. There are 12 zodiac signs that help us better understand people by analyzing the projection of the position of planets, the sun, and the moon on the Ecliptic at the moment of birth. Who knew looking up at the sky could give us so much insight?

Each month we are releasing a new zodiac self-care Box full of treats inspired by each sign, and we'll give you a rundown of their characteristic traits, emotions, behaviors, and thinking.  

Let's get started! This month’s Self-Care Box is all about Virgos.

Dates: August 23 – September 22

Virgo Strengths: Loyal, analytical, kind, hardworking, and practical

Virgo Weaknesses: Shyness, worry, overly critical of self and others, and all work and no play

Virgo Likes: Animals, healthy food, books, nature, and cleanliness

Virgo Dislikes: Rudeness and asking for help

Virgos are loyal, kind, diligent, hardworking, meticulous and sympathetic.

They are perfectionists at heart and aren’t afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent practice and hard work. Though Virgos long to be meticulous in all pursuits, they must remember that constantly chasing after the ideal isn’t everything in life! Beauty exists within our imperfections and it’s important for Virgos to learn that flaws are not defects.

Virgo's pros and cons include coming off as uptight or critical, but actually, their Mercury ruler does present a lighter side to their character. They love gossip, information, education, and entertainment. Their mind is sharp, bright, and shrewd. They always pay attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac.

They make great friends - and lovers. They are kind, gentle, and supportive. They are delicate in their expressions of sentiment and love, wishing to truly try to understand their partner’s interests and thoughts. Trust needs to be built with Virgo, slowly, steadily, and patiently, and each partner they have in life has a chance to be nurtured and cared for, but only if they give enough to deserve the special treatment of Virgo.

Virgos are practical and analytical, always knowing exactly where to look for the core of any problem. Their methodology makes them shine at jobs that require good organization, dealing with paperwork, problem-solving, and working with their minds and their hands. When they focus, perfection is to be expected from their work, for no other sign has such an eye for details as Virgo. In love with books and artistic expression, they make good critics, while their need to help humankind serves them best if they decide to become doctors, nurses, or psychologists.
