Signing Off: Virgo

“As Virgos are health-oriented and always looking to better themselves, a trip to the spa may be one of their favorite activities. Spas are a refuge where they can relax, which is important for Virgos, who tend to carry around worry and anxiety when life seems a bit chaotic and out of order. The bounty of nature is in sync with Virgo’s sensibilities, because it is an earth sign and the one associated with the harvest. Therefore, treatments that incorporate natural ingredients—herbs, flowers, and foods—may find special favor with them.”—Stephanie Gailing
