Virgo 2014. Dadhichi Toth

VIRGO MAN

      VIRGO MAN: SNAPSHOT

       Intellectual

       Perfectionist

       Benevolent

       Diffident

       Fit

      Governed by the strong influence of Mercury, the Virgo man is intellectual, insightful and swift. You have an eye for detail, an uncanny ability to read between the lines, and you can gauge a person or situation by distinguishing reality from superficiality. This may sound advantageous, but it’s not always so. This ability can sometimes label you as a nit-picker, or someone who imposes his perfectionism on everyone else. But this not really how you operate.

      You commit yourself to executing a job with immaculate perfection. You also try to improve a situation or relationship, especially when it is crumbling before your eyes. You’re vocal about your opinions and may incur the mistrust of others who may not be as insightful. This may generate a rift between you and the significant others in your life.

      Personally, I often find it difficult to gauge exactly who you are. This is a result of the two-fold nature of your ruling planet, Mercury, which means that you are clearly discernible from one side and entirely unseen from the other. You are guarded about revealing your qualities and this subtly accentuates your power. You even take others by surprise when you manifest traits they didn’t know existed. This forms an integral part of your personality and lends insight into how you can balance your own ideals with the needs of others. You’ll find that compromise will allow you to experience more contentment in life.

      OBSESSIVE VIRGO

       Your insistence on hygiene, cleanliness and precision can often be too overpowering for others. You may even live out your daily life with a certain obsessive, orderly regimen. While this is normal to you, others may view it as some kind of compulsive disorder.

      While your cleanliness poses no problem to those outside your living space, the real challenge arises after marriage or while sharing your physical space with others. Don’t allow your sense of perfection to stifle those around you, and try to find a middle ground to coexist with others peacefully.

      On the surface, you may appear aloof, but this is your way of preventing errors in life. You like to be pragmatic and measured rather than boisterously social with strangers. For you, efficient living means employing your innate wisdom to arrive at sane life decisions without creating an emotional cloud.

      Virgo men rate steadfastness, commitment and self-improvement as highly desirable and sought-after qualities. This schema can often be out of reach for others, and you may find yourself alone and disconnected from those who fail to match up to your expectations.

      In friendship, you are hesitant to let go and usually confine yourself to the company of a few trusted friends. You aren’t overtly expressive and don’t trust easily, which is why people must give you time to open up completely.

VIRGO WOMAN

      VIRGO WOMAN: SNAPSHOT

       Faithful

       Truthful

       Sensible

       Picky

       Edgy

      As a Virgo woman, you belong to the pristine, virginal sign of the zodiac, which means that spotlessness, purity and understanding are all-important in your relationships. You rarely trust others, partly due to your innate fear of letting go. Another reason could be your anxiety or lack of self-confidence in making the right judgments about others.

      Governed by the compelling influence of Mercury, you’re an expert at self-analysis, forever scrutinising and dissecting your shortcomings in an attempt to improve the quality of your life and the relationships in it.

      Because you seek perfection, you may be unduly fault-finding with yourself and those around you. If people are unable to comprehend you, such idiosyncrasy is bound to push them away.

      On the other hand, you have a cheerful disposition and people love your company, as you’re unpretentious and genuinely concerned about the happiness of others. You are highly efficient, especially in the way you conduct your work. You ungrudgingly offer a helping hand, not for ulterior motives but for the pure joy of supporting another in need. Along with Cancer and Pisces, Virgo is one of the most self-effacing and self-sacrificial signs of the zodiac. As a Virgo woman, you epitomise the term ‘unconditional love’.

      In your quest for perfection, you like to set the pace with meticulousness and diligence. People around you must understand that you take longer than others and that you don’t respond to impatient requests.

      Virgo women don’t compromise on their principles for the sake of meeting a deadline. You employ a practical approach to life and like to invest time in digesting information and weighing up all possible options.

      Pragmatic and realistic, you see value in an idea only if it can be practically implemented and exploited.

      BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

       You’re constantly judgmental of your own abilities, and even in areas where you are accomplished, you can’t help but distrust yourself. You’re blessed with ingenuity in both the arts and sciences, and whether you dabble in crafts or in cooking, you love putting your hands to some creative use.

      You can sniff out danger and are vigilant against being tricked, and you are armed with a formidable memory. The influence of your ruling planet, Mercury, bestows you with the ability to intuitively grasp innuendos, even in casual banter. You can accurately judge someone’s true nature and store it away until you see them again. For those in the wrong, it can be rather daunting when you see straight through them.

      You seek contentment through service and being of support to others. A bland life is one where you live only for yourself. This is why you would make an exceptional mother and provider for your family and circle of friends. There’s nothing more satisfying than having people heed your advice and see it bear fruitful results.

      Though Gemini and Libra are the more indecisive star signs, there are some Virgo women who waver in their decisions and fail to come to a conclusion. This can be attributed to trust, both in yourself and those around you. Unless you are at complete peace with your environment, you will always be fidgety and uncertain.

      Don’t be overwhelmed by the intellectual aspects of a situation. Put your head and heart together to draw accurate conclusions. You are, after all, pragmatic and realistic, and you seldom err in your judgment.

VIRGO CHILD

      Being ruled by the planet Mercury has its pros and cons on Virgo children. It’s hard to prevent the soaring energy levels of Mercury from turning into anxiety, which can induce psychological and physical concerns for your Virgo child.

       Excessive Mental Energy

      Since Mercury reigns over the nervous system, it makes a Virgo child prone

       to nervous disorders, hypochondria and possibly even attention deficit

       disorders. Their minds may be scattered due to the excessive mental energy

       at their disposal.
