ZIP INTO YOUR MOST FASHIONABLE FLEECE: A VIRGO'S HOROSCOPE

Productive in private, take a break from
the public eye this week. You're in too much
of a hurry. Take time. Save yourself some
regret. Leave, let go, then get back in touch
with what you want. Give yourself more. More space,
more time, and more genuine excitement.
But like, not too much, just enough to face
your creativity. Be efficient.
Your week will be rad if you organize...
obsessively. You're totally buggin
but you'll be ok with a few well-placed lies.
Other signs suspect you're a part of a coven,
but that's just it. You're not really a witch,
you're perfect and strong, a bittersweet bitch.
