You are on the verge of entering the very best year of your life, starting August 11 when Jupiter enters Virgo for the first time since mid-2003 to mid-2004. Spring and Summer 2015 is a phase of preparation. Once Jupiter (the good fortune planet) enters your sign, you will be crowned celestial favorite, and you will be showered with luck and special cosmic privilege. Your sunny epoch will last until Sept. 9, 2016, a period of nearly 13 months.
Opportunity and favor will come to you from VIPs, you will greatly expand your social and professional circle of contacts, and you will find that a long-held dream will be within your grasp. Your health will become more robust, too. It's also very likely you will travel to at least one exciting city abroad — one you've never seen but would be thrilled to see. It is vital that you go over your goals and prioritize. Choose the goals with the greatest potential for long-term gain, for you are starting a cycle this Fall that will carry you forward on that track for 12 years or more. If you like, you can choose a difficult goal to achieve — you will be surprised by the support you get from others during your golden period.
In the Fall, you will assume a very high profile, meeting and greeting many people, and being out quite a bit. Not only will your career show exceptional signs of gain, so will your personal life. Having Jupiter in your sign is considered the very best place to host Jupiter if you are single and hoping to meet your one true love. It will be a year when people fuss over you and where your confidence will be at an all-time high.
For now, you need to withdraw and spend time thinking deeply about what you hope to achieve in your life and what would truly make you happy. Being that you will be on display, you may want to stock up on several beautiful wardrobe pieces and kick up your beauty routine another notch. As a Virgo, you are one sign that takes superb care of your health and fitness, and chances are, you have luminous skin because you eat sensibly. Virgo rules the digestive process, most specifically the intestines, so many Virgos prefer a light fare to heavy creams and sauces. (Many Virgos are vegetarians.)
If you start to see the universe subtract some elements in your life this Spring and Summer, do not become alarmed. You need to make room for the goodies the universe will bring you once Jupiter enters Virgo. If you don't create the room, your life will be like a computer with too many applications open and ready to crash. Begin to let go of obligations that are no longer satisfying and that limit your ability to take on new, more interesting projects. Make room for a new romantic relationship if single, or be sure to have more fun with your one and only if attached.
Make room for new friendships too. You are such a hard worker, you often leave no room for your personal life . . . but in the coming year, if you don't, the universe will do it for you. Do not panic when you see certain elements of your present life washed away with the tide. Those will be the projects, people, and possessions you no longer need. The apartment that you always complained was too small may go away when your landlord sells the building. You may wail, "I always loved that little place!" If you are honest with yourself, you didn't, and now you will have a chance to find something infinitely better. (Or the job you found tedious and boring may be downsized. "I will always miss that job!" No, you won't — wait until you see how much nicer a job you can get now!)
Here's a day you will want to remember: the luckiest day of the year falls on Aug. 26, when the Sun and Jupiter have their annual meeting. This year, these two luminaries will meet in Virgo, so you will be the most celebrated of all signs. The sun and Jupiter will only meet in your sign once every 12 years, so make this a red-letter day. You will have extraordinary favor from authority figures, but you will also likely find great happiness in love and romance.
In terms of beauty, investigate the many excellent masks that are on the market. Over a short time, you will see a difference in the tone, hydration, and suppleness of your skin. The newest ones allow you to apply them before bed and will work while you sleep. There is a mask for literally every possible skin concern, from hydration, antiaging, brightening of dark spots, dark under-eye circles, dull and uneven texture, and pore refining, to loss of elasticity, acne control, and oily skin. It's best if you select a few masks you like and rotate them as you go through the week. (As a Virgo, you happen to be talented with setting up routines and diligent about following them.) Be sure to check out the new charcoal masks as they can detoxify skin in ways other masks cannot. Look for charcoal products from brands like Peter Thomas Roth, Origins, Mario Badescu, Dr. Perricone, Kate Somerville, Glamglow, and SK-II.
Venus will retrograde in Virgo from July 25 to Sept. 6, which falls the day after Labor Day. When a planet retrogrades, it urges us to rethink assumptions. If you have become too set in your beauty routine, it may be time to shake it up. You are entering an entirely new chapter of your life; one you will have a strong hand in shaping. It may be time for a completely new hairstyle, to signal the new you is about to emerge like a butterfly. Sometimes a new look perfectly fits a new life, and sometimes it even spans a new outlook.
You were born at the time of the harvest, when Summer is slowly dissolving into Fall. The colors that are associated with you are the moody shades of the evening sky that usually fills with clouds, and the look of the landscape at this time of the year. The clouds add color and emotion (try navy and teal), and the trees contribute chocolate brown, tan, and a wide variety of greens. Of the greens, your color is mainly the deep hunter green of the leaves and pine trees in September.
Your flowers are the tiny flowers that grow wild on hilltops and meadows, especially those that are yellow and blue. There are other small flowers that are included: buttercups, lavender, orange blossoms, forget-me-not, and the aster. (Note: in fashion, Virgo also rules small prints.)
Scents perfect for you include those with a vanilla base — try the historical classic French perfume, Bal a Versailles by Jean Desprez. Or here are several more scents to try: vetiver, or a scent with a fresh citrus base, or when you feel in need of calm, lavender. Generally, Virgo prefers fresh light fragrances with a floral undertone, or a single note, say, lily of the valley. For evening, a perfume with the warm, sensual scent of sandalwood seems ideal for earth-sign Virgo.
Your sign is very associated with Jade, the stone associated with fidelity and faithfulness, and its color is soothing — the perfect shade of green for you. For a precious stone, choose the brilliant blue sapphire.
