FOLLOW THE STARS | Virgo Season Has Arrived – Here’s How It Will Affect You

By |

Welcome to the first installment of a 12-part series highlighting each Zodiac sign! In my opinion, astrology has fascinating implications that may guide us toward manifesting our greatest, fullest, and highest selves in the sacred time we have on this Earth. The stars may even show us how we can change the world in unique ways that reflect how we shine as individuals. Overall, consider the Zodiac as a framework for uncovering areas of opportunity and special gifts that you may have not yet recognized in yourself. As I personally mourn the end of my fun, fiery, and ever-so-sparkly Leo season, the sun enters Virgo, a grounding Earth sign ruled by the ever-so orderly and rule-abiding Virgin.

Although most people think the pumpkin is just a symbol of fall seasonal bliss, it provides a lot of relatively unknown health benefits as well. Ever wondered what makes that pumpkin pie so orange? The beta-Carotene in the pumpkin is what gives it that red-orange color that looks so nice in the fall.
