Virgo Health and Fitness for 2013

Your sign is governed by the irrepressible energies of Mercury. Your gift is for using the nimble mind powers of Mercury practically. Your powers of discretion help you to sort the wheat from the chaff just about better than any other zodiac sign. You spot things, the rest of us don't see. However, this year, there is going to be a lot more nervous energy and business circulating around the heavens for you.

Now, on paper this sounds great, but at times this could leave you feeling drained, and even if you are a natural night owl, everybody needs their beauty sleep - me more than most, and this is something you're going to need to top up at every opportunity. So why is this? The location of Saturn and its retrograde for over five months from mid-February, and the Solar Eclipse of May 2012, are all intrinsically linked to your destiny. More so, because that Solar Eclipse in May is opposite Saturn, a very important astral reference point, one which provides a backdrop of energies through to October. And if you are wanting to open up your world, travel, train, absorb new ways of looking at life, someone, somewhere, may try to stop you. This could be someone close, it could be an authority figure or it could be rules and regulations. And the rule of law can be important too.

Any obstacles like this may prove incredibly frustrating and very stressful. Even everyday conversations could get blighted by politics and rancour. So, find outlets that earth you down. One's that take your mind of all this. Therapeutic massage or reflexology, will be great for your body or pamper yourself with long hot soaks in the tub, and learn to switch off!
