This year is all about you thinking just a bit more about yourself. Being a Virgo, you’re all about service to others, did you know that? It’s why you have a need to help others. It’s why you’re so often the one who stays back after a party to tidy up. It’s why you can see what’s right and what’s not when others are still just exchanging idle banter.
However this year your stars suggest that instead of dissipating your energies on rushing around and doing lots of other things, you actually need to do something for yourself. Specifically, you need to slow down and small the flowers a bit. And the coffee beans. Which is a way of saying that you just need to slow down.
You will in fact find more happiness and satisfaction if you give yourself some Me Time, even thought being helpful to others is such a wonderful thing to do as well, of course. It won’t be like this forever but as the karmic lunar nodes cruise through your 6th and 12th Houses and the eclipses follow, it really will pay you to focus on your own inner need for peace and Zen.
On a more practical note, you really can change your daily life now, as the February eclipse fires up your 6th House aka your Daily Life Zone. Think about what is working in the way your days tick over and what isn’t and decide how you want things to be different. You do have the power to do things differently.
One of the greatest blessings for you in the coming year is the fact that you have the planet of positivity, Jupiter, in your 3rd House aka your Mind Zone. As you might know, being a Virgo means that quite often you focus more on the problems than the solutions. It’s hard for you as you were born with the doubled-edged sword of a gift to see the truth in any matter. That’s great except that sometimes you end up just seeing everything that’s wrong. The result is that you get more of what you don’t want because of focusing on it. The more you focus on something, the more likely you are to attract it. But that is where Jupiter in Scorpio comes in. Jupiter in Scorpio will boost your ability to focus on the positive. Think about what you want and don’t think about what you don’t want. Then see how your life changes when you set your mind on your dreams not your problems. Just try it. You have celestial support in doing this and it really could set you on a new and improved life course.
To really tap into this Jupiter blessing, make it a point to focus on your desires. If and when an issue comes up, think less about it and more about how to solve it. Praise people. Focus on what you love about your life. Congratulate yourself on your achievements. It really could create a better life.
There is a bit of a caution for you about the year ahead, though, too. That is connected to the fact that Saturn, the fun-buster of the zodiac, is going to be wending his tedious way through your 5th House aka your Fun Zone.
The problem with this is that you could feel like you just don’t have the time or the right to go out and enjoy yourself. The double problem with this is that as a Virgo who likes to help people, you are ALWAYS a bit this-way inclined. So being double-y-this-way inclined in 2018 could really mess you around!
So you need to come back to the information at the start – you need to help other people, sure, but you also REALLY need to work allowing yourself the time you need to relax, have fun, be yourself, you need to do some kind of inner work like meditation or chanting, and you need to remember that life is all about balance.
Last but not least, if you’re a Virgo who is either already studying or working but would like to study, you’re in luck! This year, the planet of change, Uranus, moves back into your 9th House aka your Travel and Study Zone for the first time since the 1930s. So out of the blue and all of a sudden you are way more likely to do some new study or travel or both.
And if you just take one thing from all you have read here, this should be it; think positively!
