Dadhichi Toth - Virgo 2014

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: 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.

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.

Virgo children demand vigilant parental care to help them assume control instead of falling apart. They thrive best in an environment of comfort and security where they can contentedly seek perfection and hone their self-confidence. Having them engaged in ample activities helps keep boredom and other psychological problems at bay.

As a parent, it’s crucial that you provide your little one with the guidance to seek pleasure through contentment rather than perfection. Never interpret their silence as a sign of things going well. Instead, it’s a result of not being able to articulate the weight of the thoughts that are on their mind. Encourage them to voice their feelings from an early age. This will help them immensely later in life. At the same time, the influence of Mercury can make them happy chatterboxes. Try to partake of their discussions and instil in them a strong sense of self-confidence about their thought processes.

Brace yourself for their astronomical curiosity levels and relentless stream of questions. In their pursuit for answers, they arm themselves with books and general knowledge for those questions that are totally out of your league! In spite of this, your Virgo child promises a lot of fun and mentally stimulating challenges.

Finally, Virgo children work optimally in a neat and tidy environment. They’re assiduous workers and may place stress on themselves when it comes to school work. As a parent, it would be beneficial to help them maintain an organised diary to mitigate the stress they experience under these circumstances.

HERB CAEN

If you’re a guy who is trying to woo a Virgo love interest, you might be disappointed by this chapter. This woman doesn’t plunge into romantic situations at the pace you would like her to. If you’re looking for fast love, the Virgo girl is definitely not for you.
