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

Your paired element is earth and as a Virgo, you have a fixed relationship with the element. Earth’s influence becomes obvious when your grounded nature is exposed. You rarely take chances, choosing instead to pursue stability and the reliable path. You take great pride in keeping your feet on the ground, as opposed to chasing the hot air of unobtainable dreams. Although earth’s influence has become a great strength, take care to avoid letting your cautious nature keep you from new, rewarding experiences.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
