ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I’m dating a man who is perfect in every way – maybe too perfect. He’s a Capricorn with money and education, and to tell you the truth, I always feel as if I’m not good enough for him. I am the best-looking woman he’s ever been with, but that’s about all I have going for myself. What should this Virgo beauty do?"
Get some self-esteem! There is nothing your Capricorn man has that you couldn’t get for yourself with a lot more confidence and a little hard work. Virgo has more than good looks, she can make a master plan and stick to it until she gets what she wants. A Virgo female can often be so critical of herself that it paralyzed her to take action. It may indeed seem easier to find a man who personifies the attributes she desires than to go out and do it herself. The opposite is actually true. But you were asking partner in all areas, but who looks and expresses herself in feminine terms. It sometimes appears that a Capricorn likes an easily dominated woman, but in reality, this is not true. Stick up for yourself, and don’t let him know you feel inferior. Work this out on your own, and he’ll love you even more, if not at first, after he makes the adjustment to the new you. You will prevail, so be a go-getter!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: "The Late Late Show" host Craig Kilborn is a Virgo with his planet of communication also in Virgo. This placement reveals him to be self-critical about what he says, and he is always in the process of improving his ability to convey his message. This Virgo quality of always striving to be better gives Kilborn and other Virgos the career advantage. But with his Venus in Libra, he’s definitely a lover, not a fighter.
