We are generally a little more judgemental or critical of ourselves and others, so keep a handle on that. What helps during Virgo transits is to get grounded in your body and create some order and peace in your environment so you can get to work. Burn some incense, do some meditation, yoga or qi gong, whatever helps sooth your emotions and ground you in your body.
