Pleasure comes in small packages, and there are plen- ty to go around, so dont get stingy. A friends obsession begins to get out of hand. Time to rein them in. VIRGO Uh-oh, Virgo. The cornerstone of your belief system is about to be challenged. Stand firm and say little. You dont need to go into any more detail than necessary.
