Virgos Unite!!

Cousins Hannah (11) and Avery (6) both share the same birthday - September 15th! We celebrated at our house last weekend with this crazy cake Suzy found. I'm cracking up at how much fun Avery is having...look at her facial expressions in these pictures!

So, I'm NOT into astrology, but whenever I'm bored in the line at Kroger and grab that little horoscope book above the gum and tic-tacs I'm always surprised at how accurately it describes myself and people I know. Hannah and Avery are virgos, and I did a little google search and this is what I found...pretty dead on for Hannah...I've highlighted some characteristics I see in Hannah and Avery, too.

Your element: Earth

Description:
Virgos are often put down badly by many astrologers and written up as being fussy and narrow-minded. But when a Virgo shines, there is practically no sign to match their inner light. An in-tune Virgo is a treat to meet. When a Virgo is confident within themselves they are the most successful, structured and creative of all the signs.

Many Virgos can be found working in the "service to others" industries, ranging from welfare work, doctors, school-teachers through to practicing natural forms of healing like massage, herbal remedies etc. One of the most magical characteristics of the Virgo is no matter how many times life or romance turns sour on them, they still manage to maintain faith in others, refusing to become cynical. There is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Virgos can often become victims of relationship power-games, where they are mistreated.

Creative and sensitive, Virgos are delicate people who, like rare and special orchids, require individual treatment to fully blossom into their true unique beauty. Shy, they are happy to allow others to take center-stage and often generate their time and energy into making those they love happy or successful.

Virgos are givers and when the chips are down and you need a friend, the one available during those testing times when you need advice or companionship the most, is likely to be a Virgo. Virgos understand human frailties better than most, because they are so deep and reflective themselves. With a Virgo in your life you have someone who understands and cares and any romance or friendship based upon these qualities is certain to be mutually rewarding.

Character

Virgo's great gift is the ability to discriminate between what is useful and what isn't. It is at home with the details that others find boring. When Virgo relates to you an important occasion you may boil with frustration waiting for the relevant conclusions to emerge from the carefully ordered account of events leading to them - Virgo knows what is useful but bores you with the details anyway.

Pitfalls

Can't see the wood for the trees. No overall perspective on life. Frightened of chaos so tries to control it or denies its existence until proved by scientists (that is, scientists who don't believe in chaos).
