Virgo tarot card
Virgo (23 August to 22 September) belongs to The Hermit. Its element is Earth and its ruling planet is Mercury.
Virgo belongs to The Hermit, the card of solitude, reflection and inner guidance. It is an Earth sign, and its ruler is Mercury, whose card is The Magician. The Hermit carries a lantern and steps back to see clearly. The Magician brings skill and attention to detail. Together they describe a careful mind that improves things quietly.

Third decan: Ten of PentaclesStrengths
You are thoughtful, reliable and observant. You notice details others miss, and you like to be useful. Your standards help things work well.
Challenges
The Hermit can slip into isolation, and a sharp eye can turn on yourself. Balance time alone with company, and let good enough be good enough.
In love
In love you show care through actions, such as remembering, helping and fixing. You take a while to open up, and that is fine. Try saying what you feel as well as doing something about it.
At work
You thrive in work that rewards accuracy, craft and improvement. Analysis, health, editing and skilled trades are common fits. Share your ideas before they are perfect so that others can help.
Advice from the cards
Be as kind to yourself as you are helpful to others. Take your lantern out into company now and then.
