untouchable - virgo’s lemongrass cocktail contribution
virgo’s thick plumes of fragrant lemongrass are mercurial in nature. while people ruled by mercury have a reputation of untouchability, plants ruled by this planet are known for their unphotographability! their fine, whispy leaves just won’t hold still for the camera. mercury is the also aloof planet that lends this quality to citronella bug repellent. that smell is lemongrass, and it keeps the bugs far, far away. hard to have, hard to shoot, hard to please—that’s virgo in a nutshell. they are demanding… but in a good way, of course. that perfectionistic quality is what drove them to become the richest sign of the zodiac. yup, the top 12% of billionaires are virgos! (unsurprisingly, sagittarius the party animal came in last). well if i didn’t before, i certainly do now… wish i were a virgo : )
