HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Virgo’s planetary ruler is Mercury, but as you were born in the first Decan , or part, of the sign, you receive twice as much of Mercury’s influence. Mercury’s influence can be witnessed in your quick mind and effective communication skills. When paired with your practicality, you develop a great attention for detail. You never fail to work tirelessly at tasks that you find the value in, which gives you the potential to be loyal and dependable. You may be so practical at times that you try to suppress your generosity, but in your closest relationships you may have the opposite problem and become too considerate. Take care to find balance in your generosity and happiness will follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
