HOROSCOPE
Your sign’s planetary ruler is Mercury, but as you were born in the second Decan, or part, of the sign, you receive a helping of Saturn’s influence as well. Mercury’s planetary powers are reflected in your great communication skills and agile mind. Similarly, it is Saturn’s mysterious influence that can be credited with your great control, discipline and patience. Your unique combination of planetary influence makes you much more driven to success than other Virgo Decans. It is nearly impossible to stop you from meeting goals, as you are always driven to do your very best. It is the same perfectionism that can become detrimental, if you become too disappointed with your own imperfection and that of others. Counter these tendencies by paying special attention to your sensitivity, especially in close relationships.
