Astrologer Stephanie Gailing
reveals how you can look to
the stars for guidance when
catering to your clientele.
VIRGOS ARE MOTIVATED BY A DESIRE FOR
perfection, which is one of the reasons that these
clients are among the most health-conscious,
always seeking ways to further enhance their well-being. Yet, this penchant for wanting things “just
so” does make analytically minded Virgos a highly
critical lot, whether of themselves or of the people
around them. Engaging detail-focused Virgos
with specifics of their treatments and assuring
them of their unique beauty can do wonders to
inspire the relaxation, pleasure, and healing that
they receive from their spa experience.
Suggested Spa Therapies
Spa and wellness therapies that promote detoxification can offer Virgoans numerous healing rewards,
Aromatherapy Inclinations
Because Virgoans appreciate the parts that comprise
the whole, they are sure to be drawn to aromatherapy, the art of distilling fragrant essential
oils from flowers, herbs, and fruits. Recommend
treatments and products that feature cardamom,
carrot seeds, and melissa.

Relaxation practices can help Virgoans quiet their
minds, which are often filled with worry and
concern, giving them the freedom to feel at ease.
Crafting With an eye for detail and an appreciation of functional aesthetics, Virgoans are the
craftspeople of the zodiac.

in astrology.—Stephanie Gailing
