Virgo 2014. Dadhichi Toth

of your life lesson is to learn how to voice your criticism constructively, towards both others and yourself. Though you may speak with wisdom, your words can affect others rather negatively.

      You would benefit from relaxation, discrimination, and accepting that perfection varies from person to person. All these things would allow you to harmonise seamlessly with your world.

VIRGO CUSPS

      ARE YOU A CUSP BABY?

      Being born on the crossover of two star signs means you encompass the qualities of both. This can get tricky and sometimes you will wonder whether you’re Arthur or Martha! Some of my clients are continually mystified at whether they belong to their own star sign or the one before or after. Experiencing such feelings is nothing out of the ordinary. Being born on the borderline means that you take on the qualities of both signs. The following outlines show the subtle effects of these cusp dates and how they can affect your personality.

       Leo–Virgo Cusp

      If you were born between the 23rd and the 30th of August, you are born on the borderline or cusp of Leo, the fifth sign of the zodiac. You are ruled by both the Sun and Mercury, which means that you have a beaming disposition and strong intellectual leanings. Virgo makes you extremely meticulous and thorough with work, but the Leo element makes you seize attention, bouquets and flattery for everything that you do.

      You are wise and swift in you assessment of people, and you are rarely wrong. The fusion of your individual planets, Mercury and the Sun, bless you with a refined intuitiveness that you trust.

      The influence of Leo reveals itself in circumstances where your effort is not credited. Unlike the typical Virgo, who would rather serve others selflessly, you start to feel discontented and dispirited. Such dejection is bound to have repercussions on your health, and you must find ways to heal the grudges and not isolate yourself.

      The combination of Virgo and Leo blesses you with an inimitable blend of extroversion and introversion, which means you are completely at ease with a wide range of people. This personality trait makes you an enigma to the world outside.

       Virgo–Libra Cusp

      If you were born between the 16th and the 23rd of September, you fall in the zone dominated by Virgo and Libra. Your respective ruling planets, Mercury and Venus, are an excellent astrological combination, endowing you with intellectual prowess and artistic and cultural flair.

      Psychologically, you enjoy quite a hot spot on the zodiac circle. You have Virgo’s elegance on one hand, and on the other you have Libra’s intuitiveness and astute and analytical mind.

      I’d like to shed some light on Libra, as you’re bound to be affected by its influence. Firstly, Libra wants to be viewed as attractive and accepted. When this is tainted by Virgo’s self-criticism, you may struggle with minor personality flaws in yourself. When you strive for acceptance, it isn’t to prove a point to others, but to yourself. Remember, people will love you only if you love yourself, so learn to accept yourself as you are.

      Blessed with innate creativity, the artist in you is mesmerised by the beauty around you, and you’re likely to be a sensual and adoring person. Your taste in furnishings or fashion is striking, elegant and exquisite, never garish.

       Reclusive Virgo

      Though creative and imaginative, you’re also a bit of a recluse. Some might

       misinterpret this as elitism or snobbery. Try to dispel this assumption by

       accentuating the beauty in your character, such as your innate compassion,

       thoughtfulness and benevolence.

      You need to be surrounded by quiet and soothing things. You need people in your life who understand you, are peaceful by nature and can share some of your artistic and cultural interests.

      You have a natural propensity towards overindulgence due to the rulership of Venus. This reveals itself in pleasure, food and many other aspects of your life. At the same time, as Mercury is a sensitive planet, you would benefit from practising self-restraint.

VIRGO CELEBRITIES

      FAMOUS MALE:

       CHARLIE SHEEN

      You mustn’t assume that every Virgo is meek and mild. This becomes evident when we look at Charlie Sheen, who was born on the 3rd of September, 1965, under the sign of Virgo. Actually, many Virgos are highly outspoken due to the rulership of Mercury. This makes them extremely critical and clever in the way they cut their opponents down.

      When Charlie left school, he decided to become an actor. This is not a typical Virgo trait, but the expressive skills of Mercury do sit well with some people born under Virgo. He made his name in the movie Platoon (1986) and further solidified his career with Wall Street (1987). He went through a rough patch in the 1990s, possibly due to substance abuse, which some Virgo-born individuals tend to use as an escape. This takes its toll on their sensitive bodies and nervous system, which is why it’s so important for Charlie look after his physical wellbeing.

      Mars rules the zone of sexuality for Virgo males, which is why they are often highly sexed. This is why Charlie has been married three times and has five children. In recent years, Charlie has also landed himself in a lot of trouble, but he has still managed to reinvent himself, which is a Virgo trait that few people know about. Mercury rules the sign of Gemini, which gives these signs a dual nature. This means that Virgo, like Gemini, often presents one side of their personality, while underneath they hide a completely different temperament. This is why they can be volatile, as is the case with Charlie.

      FAMOUS FEMALE:

       PINK

      Famous rock star Pink was born on the 8th of September, 1979, and she perfectly reflects the powerful Mercury influence of her Virgo Sun sign. Not only does she have a capacity to communicate refined ideas through music, but she can reconstitute different sounds and make them her own. As a result, she has created a sound that is distinctly hers. Originality and diligence are just some of the character traits of Virgo-born individuals.

      Her love of music began at an early age when she formed her first band at the age of 16. A famous Los Angeles record producer heard their music and signed them to a record deal. Virgo individuals are indeed independent thinkers, but they can also work well in groups. It wasn’t long before she decided to go solo, and her first album, Can’t Take Me Home (2000), turned out to be a big hit. Her second album, Missundaztood (2001), also topped the charts, and she has never looked back.

      Virgo-born people have versatile minds, and all you need to do is listen to Pink in an interview to discover that she has opinions on many different social issues. She uses her music to get her message across, which is a strong part of the Virgo personality type.
