In the 1890s, Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov discovered that a dog would
begin to salivate at the sound of the footsteps of someone bringing food,
rather than just upon smelling and seeing the food. This kind of conditioning
is known as Pavlovian conditioning. This might apply, on some level, to
something that is happening in your life now. You have become accustomed to a
negative outcome in something you have tried because it hasn't worked time
and time again. Now you expect a bad outcome. But that doesn't mean that's
what you'll have, Virgo. One more try might be all you need to turn things
around.
