Noa,
Sometimes it's a relief when the birthday is finally
over, eh? Less pressure to have to feel like it
should be a happy day...(I've felt that anyway)..
Your birthday was the day after mine....I think
sometimes we Virgo's have a really hard time with
self doubt and self loathing. Perfectionism is
our big demon. In it's worst form it completely
paralyzes us from doing anything at all b/c what's
the point if it's not perfect. We set ourselves up
for failure this way. Virgo's main task, therefore,
is to learn to love themselves, unconditionally,
exactly as they are RIGHT NOW--...It's the hardest
task in the world for me. I had a really weird
dilemna on my birthday--my boyfriend totally treated
me like a queen--roses, baked a cake, out to dinner,]
presents--he totally did it up. And I had a really
hard time with that--I felt guilty and unworthy, I beat
myself up saying "Damn Ruth, why can't you just
ENJOY it!". Sometimes I just have a really hard
time being happyt=--it's like I don't know HOW...
Anyway, there's a mix of astrology and confession
for you--Roo
