Virgo (August 23 - September 22) People think of you as cautious and reserved, Virgo. They don't expect to see a tiger emerge when you've had a drink or two. That's when you let down your defenses and go a little wild. This may not be a bad thing, unless you have an image to uphold. In which case it's better to play it safe and nurse a Perrier. Also, remember that this party is supposed to be fun, so resist the urge go over numbers or strategies with colleagues.

Food:

Stable Virgo likes mint, parsley, vanilla and herbs in general. They will want a meal that is served or created in an orderly fashion and is not missing any key parts. They will have good taste when it comes to either making or consuming a meal.

Movies:

The ever-practical Virgo does not have time to watch anything that won't improve their lives in some way. You'll cook a dinner to Julia Child, use fix-it videos to refurbish your room and watch documentaries to wind down. You might also enjoy the neurotic works of Woody Allen for a chuckle.

Music:

Virgo doesn’t have too much of a musical preference, as long as the music doesn't distract them from the task at hand. You might enjoy Ernesto Cortazar for his soft sounds. When lyrics are important, enjoy the soothing souls of Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand.

Restaurants:

The picky Virgo is equally picky in all aspects of life, including food and dining. A finicky eater, you’ll insist upon eating well-balanced, healthy meals that won’t pollute your body.

Sports:

The versatile and efficient Virgo will gravitate toward sports that provide mental stimulation and fitness, all at once. Sports like basketball, gymnastics or hang gliding fit the bill.

Travel:

Belize, Chile, Los Angeles, Malaysia, Malta, Switzerland

Television:

Staid Virgo likes watching nature programs that are at once interesting and informative. Episodes of This Old House are also high on their list, as is the viewing of commercials advertising all the wonderful new cleaning implements on the market.
