Your SmartScope for October 2008:

When new possibilities arise at the beginning of the month, grab hold, Virgo! It might seem scary, all that new stuff, by after the 17th you'll be so glad that you opened yourself up to experiencing new things. But take a word of caution offered by someone who really cares about you. It might appear like they are trying to rain on your new parade but maybe they just see something that you don't. It's not easy to be open to new things and to keep your feet on the ground, but pay attention to the people who have your back. They'll help you make sense of it all. The last couple weeks of the month you'll have a lot to think about, but fortunately you've surrounded yourself with people who can help you find your way.

About You, Virgo:

The Myth: It is not known for certain who Virgo represents, but historically, the constellation and sign have been linked to many goddesses, including Athena (the Greek Goddess of Wisdom), Ishtar (the Assyro-Babylonian Goddess of Love and War), and Cybele (a Hittite and Phrygian goddess who represented the Earth Mother). In one popular interpretation, Virgo represents Astraea, the daughter of the Greek god Zeus and the Greek goddess Themis. Astraea, the Goddess of Justice, was said to rule the world fairly and justly until, disgusted by humanity, she returned to the skies.
Cool Fact: Virgo is the only zodiac sign represented by a female.
