Virgo 2008 horoscopes

Virgo (Aug 23- Sep 22)

For many years now you have been undergoing sudden and dramatic change. It seems that the cosmos is not satisfied with anything less than perfect for you (even though you might be satisfied). So, every time you settle into some pattern, it gets disrupted. This trend continues in the year ahead.

Last year, on September 3 Saturn made a major move into your own Sign. A long-term transit. It is going to reor­ganize your body and image. And since you are very health-conscious anyway, this reorganization will not be difficult. But self-esteem and self-confidence are not what they should be these days - and taking refuge in your innate humility is not a bad idea for the next few years. Oh, you are significant, you are a light, but shine silently.

Health is improving over last year, but is still delicate -more on this later on.

This year you are trying to achieve a balance between freedom and stability. Freedom is important to you, but you are willing to sacrifice some for a bit of stability - a feeling of being grounded. Getting just the right balance is the chal­lenge. You can't go too far in either direction.

Marriages have been unstable for some years now. Many of you got divorced or had serious relationships break up in the past few years - and this area continues to be unstable in the year ahead. Love affairs, however, are plentiful and seem happy. More on this later.

Your most important areas of interest in the year ahead are the body, image and self-concept; home and family (from January 1 to January 27 and from June 14 to November 27); children, creativity, love affairs, fun; health and work; love and romance.

Your paths of greatest fulfilment this year are health and work; children, creativity, love affairs and the joy of life.
