Horoscope - Virgo

21 September - Self-care isn't a luxury to fit in when convenient, Virgo. You may have justified reasons to focus on others to ensure their worlds are hunky dory. However, you could create a slippery slope for yourself if your caregiving results in being to everyone's advantage except yours. Now is the time to set polite, agreed boundaries where your assistance, support or involvement begins and ends.
