Today's
Gods:Mercury/Hermes, messenger of the Gods and
God of trade. Vesta, keeper of the sacred flame. Also: the
servant, the vestal virgin, the clerk.
An
applicant interviews for her dream job at a high-profile technology
firm. She's bright, hard working, and talented; but unfortunately
her nails need a manicure, there's a run in her stockings, and
her resume suffers from a severe case of needs-an-editor. Thinking
she needed only her sterling job record to land the job, she
forgot that it's also important to present her qualifications
- and herself - professionally and with care.
We've
almost reached the harvest point of this month's lunar
cycle. The past couple of weeks have been a time to conceive
and nurture new ideas, and it's almost time to share them with
the world. So while the Moon is in Virgo, review your
accomplishments. Fine-tune your work and prepare a polished
sales pitch that presents your talents, skills, and creativity
in the best possible light. While the Moon is in Virgo, it's
time to be a bit tough with yourself; you have to be willing
to face your imperfections before you can correct them. But
be sure to temper this process with humor and pragmatism; nothing
- and no one - is perfect, and unchecked perfectionism dampens
creativity and fun.
