Virgo

"The dual meaning of the word `virgin' reflects the dual nature that most Virgos exhibit. Sometimes they are completely confident in their opinions and competence, but at other times they are as filled with self-doubt and naiveté as a young beginner." - From the book Skilled metaphysicians and artists, the husband-wife team of Monte Farber and Amy Zerner--also known as The Enchanted Couple--have birthed a great new book series dedicated to each of the 12 Sun Signs of the Zodiac called Astrology Gems. I had the pleasure of reading the entire Astrology Gems series and was surprised and delighted with both the format and content. Although the Astrology Gems series are small gift books, they are jam packed with practical, eerily incisive information. Some of the tidbits found in the Virgo book include: * Charts on related planet, element, quality, day, colors, plants, gemstones, metal, etc. * Extensive keywords * Lists of Typical Behavior/Personality Traits, Positive Traits, Negative Traits, Behaviors/Abilities at Work * Behavior/Abilities at Home, Attitude Towards Money, Leisure Interests/Pastimes, Likes, and Dislikes * Romantic Pairings, Health, Virgo as Parent, Virgo as a Child, Virgo as Co-worker, and Virgo as Friend * Virgo as Employer and Employee * Typical Occupations, First Dates, and Virgo in Love * How the ruling planet Mercury reflects Virgo traits Service oriented and humane, Virgos dedicated, sensible folks that are capable of analyzing situations in detail. As friends, they are kind and honest with a strong sense of responsibility. If you're a Virgo--or someone you love is born under the sign of the Virgin--the Astrology Gems series for Virgo will show you: * How they handle feelings, especially at work * Why Virgos are susceptible to stomach aches * How they approach routine tasks * How Virgo's quest for perfection colors their life If you're looking for piercingly insightful information on Virgos that goes beyond the usual cookie-cutter astrology book, the Astrology Gems series abundantly delivers.
