Virgo, the Virgin – hen weekend horoscope
August 23rd – September 22nd
Earth sign

The Virgo hen is the great organizer so she may want to take charge of the hen weekend herself – don't let her; she's got enough on her plate with the wedding to sort out! Virgo hens are ordered careful thinkers, who pay great attention to detail (the wedding will be sensational). Virgos are also sensual pleasure lovers, they don't like sitting still and are always on the go, living life to the full. Friends find them great fun to be with – when they can keep up!

Destinations:
Virgos hate wasting time so it's essential the hen weekend destination is buzzing with activity, choose a happening city like London, Blackpool, Leeds, Glasgow, Prague, Barcelona, Budapest or Madrid. Just make sure the travel arrangements are well planned, opt for the easy way out and get one of the hen weekend organizers to do it all for you!

Day activities:
Virgo activities need to be a bit cerebral, good choices would be rock climbing, golf and hiking; or indulge her love of craft and desire to learn by picking something like cooking and painting or a beauty and makeup session. Another great choice would be flirting or foreplay lessons – a recent big hit with many hen parties. And if you're in London think about a taxi treasure hunt in traditional black cabs.

Evening activities:
Virgo hens will like the evening to be planned, full of activity and without unexpected surprises. Perhaps start with ten-pin bowling, cocktail training or a Champagne tasting. Follow on with a good meal, some drinks and a chance for a good natter with her mates; and round it off with some action-packed clubbing into the early hours. If you're planning for a strip act to show up, she'd prefer to know about it in advance!

Eating style:
Virgo is the sign of Ceres goddess of agriculture and harvest, so she'll appreciate healthy eating; a classy veggie restaurant, somewhere with amazing salads or a sushi or noodle bar would be good choices

Drinking style:
Specialty wines and beers from small local breweries will appeal to her love of craft. She'll also enjoy fruit based drinks and cocktails.

Hen night dress and themes:
Virgos have a flair for fashion and can be very picky about what they wear. They don't like anything too flashy or faddy and they love to match their accessories to their outfit. Her best colours are pure white, light blue and pastels. Any hen night theme needs to be well planned in advance and everyone well briefed as she'll be disappointed if the whole team isn't up to scratch. Suggested themes are fallen angles, Romans/togas, or Virgo herself of course. Also colour themes, or fancy dress by initial, each guest dressing as something beginning with the same letter as their own name.

Hens on the cusp:
If your hen was born on the cusp of two signs (i.e. a day or so either side of the start and end dates) then she may be influenced by a mix of both signs; if that's the case then read the suggestions for both signs – move on to Libra or back to Leo.
