Lesson 9: Virgo (8/23-9/22)
Virgo is the sixth Sign of the Zodiac. They, more than any other Sign, were born to serve, and it gives them great joy. Virgo is represented in modern Astrology by the Virgin, although this association should not be taken literally. Rather, Virgos tend to take on some of the qualities of a Virgin, things like modesty and humanity. Some might consider them repressed, although Virgins would argue that it's a noble quality, as opposed to a negative one. They are balanced and fair in their assessments in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign. Virgo is ruled by the Planet Mercury, and as portrayed in ancient Roman mythology, Mercury wasn't one to sit still for long. A Virgo's brain is in overdrive most of the time, which is why these folks get so much done. The Element associated with Virgo is Earth, and in keeping with that, most Virgos are grounded, salt-of-the-earth types. When it comes to the game of love, Virgos are able to loosen up somewhat and are devoted to their lovers, even if they can be a bit jealous. Since Virgo rules the intestines, worried Virgins need to be wary of bowel upsets. Soothing relief often comes in the way of earth tones, which is why Virgins like to be surrounded by shades of tan and a warm yellow.The great strength of the Virgo-born is in their practicality, sharp mind and attention to detail. When merged with their willingness to serve, Virgos become essential helpmates.

Lesson 8: Leo (7/23-8/22)
Leo is the fifth Sign of the Zodiac. Leos are an ambitious lot, and their strength of purpose allows them to accomplish a great deal. It's the Lion which symbolizes Leos, and the king (or queen) of the jungle is a most appropriate mascot, since these folks consider themselves the rulers of their universe (and the Zodiac at that). Like Lions, Leos tend to be dignified and strong, and it is this sense of their power which allows them to get things done. There is a Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign - Lions are indeed opinionated and set in their ways. Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center of the universe and the fuel for our being. Lions are outgoing, self-assured and have a tremendous zest for life. The Lion's enthusiasm is boundless, and along with that comes generosity of spirit and the determination to succeed. Those born under this Sign can be counted on for their loyalty and sense of honor. They are also decisive, intensely proud and wonderfully romantic. The Element associated with Leo is Fire. Everything about the Lion's personality is hot, hot, hot. Those born under this Sign are fearless and strong. The Leo lover is devoted, creative and almost too hot to handle! Since Leo rules the heart and back, however, overzealous Lions may have to take a deep breath and slow down a bit. You can bet that the Lion's home will be swaddled in royal purple and gold. The great strengths of the Leo-born are their creativity, idealism and leadership. Lions don't lack for ambition, either, so they're likely to accomplish a lot - and have fun while they're at it.
