Structure, systems, routine: the holy trinity to a Virgo indeed. Monday's new moon in Libra helps you bring some order to your court in a way that is also creative and pleasurable. It's important that you simplify and scale back now, in the name of giving yourself some breathing room. Less is definitely more, especially if you radar in on the big fish instead of the school of minnows swimming around. It can be tough for a curious sign like yours to screen out distractions, so you'll have to be more disciplined. Turn off those digital devices when you're trying to git 'er done, and create clean, quiet spaces to work and relax. A big focus of this new moon will be on your financial foundations. It's no secret that you can be frugal, but when the urge to splurge strikes, you've been known to head to the full-price racks at Bergdorf. Hey, you work hard for your money, so why not enjoy it? Perhaps, you could learn to be a little less feast-or-famine in your spending habits though, so that you can spread out the enjoyment of your cash instead of squirreling it away for special occasions alone (or blowing it all in one epic purchase). Libra is the great balancer, and this new moon is here to remind you of the B-word: budgeting. Create expense categories both for the necessities (rent/mortgage, electric bill, car note, savings) and the indulgences along the way (hair treatments, shopping trips, haute cuisine). You may actually see ways to trim the fat from your "necessities" category. Rake through monthly statements with your eagle eye. It's possible that there's a forgotten recurring charge or three to cancel. Wouldn't you rather spend that money on a lovely dinner than an unused subscription? (Rhetorical question.) If your economic plan is to pray that there's always enough, bring in the big guns. A meeting with a financial advisor can help you get set up in a smart way. Look into software programs for money management, or take an online course. Mother Nature lures you into the crisp fall air this week, bringing serenity with her fresh air. Bundle up and take your socializing al fresco. Photograph the changing leaves, sip pumpkin spice lattes while you walk through the park, squeeze the last few days out of an outdoor cafe. When it comes to love, slow and steady is the pace for the week. Let yourself be wooed, seduce (don't chase), and pace your interactions. You'll get more pleasure from holding hands and kissing than anything else, even if you've been with your love for years.

General Characteristics of Virgo

Detail-oriented Virgo is ruled by Mercury, planet of the mind and communication. Virgos are always analyzing everything, forming opinions and judgments. On the outside, you seem sweet and innocent, but your quick mind never misses a detail. Virgo is also the sign of service, and you're always there when help is needed. You're an amazing, careful listener, and as a result, you give the best advice. You love to analyze everything! In fact, you can drive yourself crazy, because you never stop thinking. Virgo is a perfectionist who sees every flaw, and at times, you're a little too critical. Relax your mind by channeling it into a project, like solving a crossword puzzle, writing a story, or organizing your desk. As an earth sign, you love the outdoors, so chill out in nature, or try a sport like karate. Remember, it's easy for helpful Virgo to give, but harder for you to receive. Let your friends pitch in and support you, too! Try opening up a little more. You don't have to be perfect to be loveable. Just be yourself.
