HOROSCOPE
Mercury is your sign’s ruling planet, but because you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you also receive planetary influence from Saturn. Both planets play an equal role in forming your unique personality; Mercury is responsible for your keen intellect and communications kills, while it is Saturn that is connected to your strong discipline and control. Mercury and Saturn work together to make you far more success driven than the other Virgo Decans. Likewise, they are responsible for your abilities as an effective leader. While you will always be caught up in striving for perfection, take care to also put time into close, personal relationships, as you will derive great happiness from them.
