Money can’t buy happiness, or this either…
Cancer seeks security the way crabs seek rocky hidey-holes, and money is one tangible manifestation of security for you. You acquire it, accumulate it, and once you have it, hold onto it tenaciously (except when it comes to loved ones).
You worry about money, too, and no amount ever seems to be enough to make you feel entirely safe from the dangers lurking out there. You want to be paid what you know you’re worth and will move on to another job if necessary. Take care that your prudence with money doesn’t turn into miserliness.
Leos work and play hard—how to have the best time off…
No second best for you, especially when it comes to vacations. You give your all to your job—until it’s time to relax! What could be better than a week at a luxury resort that offers gourmet dining, fun activities, and soothing spa treatments? France, Italy, Zanzibar, Madrid, Los Angeles, and Rome are associated with your sign, but any sunny climate will do. You could rent a large villa and take the whole family. Luxuriate in style with a hot stone massage, vitamin C facial, rosemary-mint body scrub, and volcanic mud wrap. Just think of all those people ready to coddle and pamper you!
Get your royal booty in the groove with these exercises…
Leo isn’t overly enthusiastic about exercise, but it must be done if you want to maintain that appearance of which you are so proud. Potential health problems associated with your sign involve the heart and circulation, so keep it strong with regular cardio, such as running, biking, aerobics, or the elliptical machine.
The spine is also ruled by Leo, and you can keep yours supple with regular stretching and yoga. You worship the sun, but take care of your skin. Some bronzer will give you a healthy glow without endangering your complexion!
Leos find their niche in many places!
A career is an extension of who you are. It must be worthwhile and exciting—no cubicle farm for you! Put your stage presence to work as a musician, actor, or other creative artist. You also crave status and like to impart your knowledge to others, so the law or teaching might be more your style. Love animals? Try an animal rights group. Or politician—is it a surprise that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama are Leos? It goes without saying that you need room for advancement. If you can’t be the boss someday, it’s because you aren’t interested!
Inspiring words from famous Leos…
Here are some wise words from famous Leos who made more than one giant leap for humankind.
“I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.” – Neil Armstrong
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” – Amelia Earhart
“If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.” – Orville Wright
“It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.” – Guy de Maupassant
“It’s a shallow life that doesn’t give a person a few scars.” – Garrison Keillor
Roll up your Virgo sleeves and get crafty!
The earth sign of Virgo is associated with crafts. While you may not have the freewheeling creativity of Aquarius, you can excel in arts of a more practical nature. Handmade items that are decorative, as well as utilitarian, make you smile, so ceramics, weaving, or woodcraft might be good ones to try. And it’s never too late. Fellow Virgo Grandma Moses was in her seventies when she started painting her folk art creations. True to her practical nature, she switched from wool embroidery because she feared her work would be destroyed by moths!
You’re almost perfect Virgo, but…
Try a little introspection if you’re still looking for love.
Are you too nitpicky? Some people are fine with a few imperfections.
Are you a martyr? It’s okay to work hard, but don’t whine about it.
Are you too demanding? Just because you have an endless to-do list doesn’t mean everyone wants every moment filled.
Are you too self-critical? Be careful or others will start to agree with you!
Are you too analytical? Relationships need to be lived, not have their inner workings picked apart.
Are you a worrywart? Just because your date is late doesn’t mean something bad happened!
Are you never satisfied? Sometimes okay is just fine.
Get success-ready, you have what it takes…
Do you dream about owning a business, one where you could do everything right—the way it ought to be? You have drive, you like to get things done, and you probably already have a large measure of freedom in your current job. No pie-in-the-sky dreamer, you can see how things need to be and figure out how to make it happen. Entrepreneurs are flexible—they think on their feet, change direction when one idea doesn’t work, and prepare for the unexpected. Like you, they’re optimistic, since you believe there’s room for improvement in everything! Are you ready?
Words of wisdom from famous Virgos…
“To achieve great things, two things are needed—a plan and not quite enough time. – Leonard Bernstein
“If you’re afraid to fail, then you’re probably going to fail.” – Kobe Bryant
“Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.” – Confucius
“I have made plenty of mistakes. The key to life is to learn from them.” – Richard Gere
“I love those who yearn for the impossible.” – Goethe
“Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.” – Samuel Johnson
“The only way to survive is to have a sense of humor.” – Bob Newhart
You’d be surprised at how well you’d fit this job role…
Could you go at it alone? You want to control your future. You’re creative yet realistic. You’re organized and reliable. You attack a job with a single-minded drive and the stamina to see it through. You find opportunities and accept responsibility. But all is not cut and dried in the freelance world. You must be comfortable with uncertainty. Caution is good, but sometimes you’ll need to take risks that may not pay off. Entrepreneurs must go with the flow (maybe not your speed), make split-second decisions, and change directions on a dime. If you can do all that, go for it!
