MESSAGE FROM DADHICHI

Hello once again and welcome to your 2014 horoscope!

Time and Speed are the governors of our lives these days. There’s never enough time, and the hectic pace at which we move is getting too much to handle. So we oscillate between never enough and too much. We are either too slow in finishing our tasks, or the hands of the clock appear to be whizzing forward, especially when we’re under pressure. We are constantly trying to create more time just to keep up with everyone else. And all those people are rushing out of control. What is this madness? We need to reclaim control of our lives and bring these terrible twins of speed and time under our control if we are ever to master our destinies.

According to Einstein and his incredible theory of relativity, speed and time are related. The faster we move, the quicker time flies. As we crank up the pace of our lives, time is impacted upon even more. You don’t need me to tell you that; your experience will remind you of this fact every day, especially when you look in the mirror and see an additional wrinkle or two from time to time. Age is the favourite child of these two parents: speed and time. In the old days, it used to be the elderly who complained about the pace of time. But now, everyone, even youngsters, grumble about how little time they have and how they are forever trying to cram as much fun and experience into the moment. This attitude seems to be the order of the day, yet it will never, ever be enough.

The planets also operate on the same principle of speed and time, and this is how we generate astrological forecasts. Speed is related to the distance these planets traverse around the Sun, and the time it takes for them to do their celestial dance around the Sun is referred to as a planetary cycle.

We often talk about being in harmony with our environment and leaving as invisible a carbon footprint as we can, thus re-establishing natural equilibrium on earth. But our larger celestial environment is something we’ve overlooked. Ancient astrologers, however, knew the secret of our interconnectedness to the greater environment, and they gave us esoteric spiritual techniques for tuning in to these controllers of our fate. But how do you control the planets, let alone speed and time? It is through intuition, perception and self-awareness. By developing your perception and intuitive faculties, you will be one of the survivors in this brave new world.

If you’re up to the challenge, this will increase your psychic abilities, thereby helping you surmount the obstacles of speed and time. You will bring yourself into harmony with your own physical, mental and emotional needs, and you will be able to tune easily in to your environment and fellow man. You will sense what these planetary energies are doing to you and can adjust yourself accordingly. This requires the subtle art of spiritual listening. This is not the hearing that is done with your ears. This is listening done with the heart. Through these simple techniques you will conquer time!

Our frames of reference are changing, and our ability to adapt to the light-speed pace is demanding refinements and adjustments in perception. In 2014, take the time to move at your own pace and look at what it is you want to achieve, not what is foisted upon you by culture, family and the establishment. Run your own race, and even if you are moving in high gear, at least you will be the one in control, not the clock. Use the transits and forecasts in the last chapter to help you gain an overview of the likely time of events. By taking control of your time and slowing the pace of life, you begin to control your destiny. In doing so, you rediscover the pleasure of your own self and the talents that you have been endowed with. This will then be a time of self-empowerment and great fulfilment.

Your astrologer,

Dadhichi Toth

VIRGO OVERVIEW

“IF YOU HAVE BUILT CASTLES IN THE AIR, YOUR WORK NEED NOT BE LOST—THAT IS WHERE THEY SHOULD BE: NOW PUT FOUNDATIONS UNDER THEM.”

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

The typical Virgo is timid and reticent. You are definitely not the loud, overtly friendly type, especially in the company of strangers. You have a tendency to be cautious about revealing yourself and need time to get comfortable with people around you. This quality can be misinterpreted as pretentiousness by some.

You’re a stickler for perfection, but not in all aspects of your life. For example, you may be particularly organised in the bedroom and kitchen, while you disregard the study or the courtyard. In some rare Virgos, however, such diligence may manifest only in their psychological makeup.

While you are blessed with an incredible ability to compartmentalise facts and figures, the same precision may elude you in matters pertaining to your own work or lifestyle. On the whole, though, Virgo is a highly meticulous and organised sign, and perfection is at the heart of your star sign and personality.

This quest for perfection may inspire you to choose service and quality over wealth, authority, ego or fame. While others may respond unfavourably to your reasoning, you remain unfazed, committed to doing your best in your chosen path.

You prefer practicality over idealism and are unfailingly diligent in fulfilling your promises. At the same time, exercise caution over this desire to serve others or you’ll find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer pressure of living up to your promises and ensuring everyone’s happiness. Try to strike a balance in your life to prevent burning out in the future.

HIGH STANDARDS

You have an eye for detail and know what you want. You are highly critical of people who don’t do their best. You also want others to live up to your standards.

As the 6th sign of the zodiac, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and it is an overall clean zodiac sign. Looking after your health and modulating your food intake is an important aspect of your wellbeing. You abhor health hazards and, in extreme cases, you may fret over the minutest ache or twinge.

Part 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.

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.

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.

VIRGO LOVER

“A MAN BEGINS CUTTING HIS WISDOM TEETH THE FIRST TIME HE BITES OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW.”

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.

A Cautious Lover

The Virgo woman is more practical than sexual, but this doesn’t mean that she is passionless. The Virgo female moves rather cautiously, and she is slow to unfasten the grip on her heart before handing it over to a deserving partner.

Unfortunately, when it comes to matters of love, Virgos can be rather detached and analytical in fathoming others as well as their own feelings. They often end up scrutinising people, and a potential partner would need to be on their best behavior to impress Virgo. Are you up to the task?

Virgo, the Virgin, embodies deep passion and selfless love, and this is what they bring to a relationship. The question is: Are you patient enough to wait?

When it comes to lovemaking, Virgos are playful, passionate and intensely curious, but only under the right circumstances. Another asset is their intense loyalty. Virgo, after all, is one of the most devoted of the star signs. Once they commit themselves to a relationship, that commitment remains steadfast, even in the face of the most excruciating setbacks.

It’s not easy for them to let go of a relationship, especially if they have invested time, intensity and loyalty. They are as prudent in relationships as they are in matters of finance. At the cost of sounding mercenary, it’s crucial to understand that prudence forms the cornerstone of their approach to all aspects of life.

Don’t be duped by the bashful exterior of a Virgo lover. Mercury, their ruler, is hot by nature, and once you succeed at garnering their trust, the passion they unleash in the bedroom is sure to leave you spellbound.

If you want a relationship with Virgo, you need to charm them in a manner that enthralls and fascinates them.

Because their Mercurial mind is in constant flux, they desire variety and intellectual stimulation. If you’re a slothful couch potato who is uncommunicative and addicted to TV, Virgo is most definitely not your type. Communication, expression and free-flowing dialogue are the bedrock for a successful relationship with those born under this sign.

VIRGO FRIEND

In matters of friendship, consider yourself blessed if you have a Virgo in your circle of friends. Their compassion, faithfulness and concern for your wellbeing are just a few of Virgo’s most beautiful qualities. At the same time, it’s not a one way street. They expect some measure of reciprocation for their selfless dedication. Yes, they’re unconditional in their love and care, but it’s nice to be loved back, isn’t it?

PROBLEM SOLVER!

Virgos offer the best support in times of chaos. They’re experts at breaking down issues and offering simple, easy solutions—without tainting them with their own bias or prejudice.

Virgos can be quite vocal in expressing their opinions, especially if their judgment is solicited. While they are generous in accommodating faults, they’re blunt in pointing out someone’s shortcomings. Due to their intrinsic desire for perfection, they’re profusely critical and leave others flabbergasted at the candour with which they expose others.

As you can deduce from my description of your Virgo friend, truth is a double-edged sword—for both of you. They may appear distant and emotionally hesitant on occasions, but it’s their way of preventing their emotions from being sullied by circumstances. To them, being transparent, honest and unaffected by superfluous issues is important when it comes to drawing conclusions.

In friendships they are guarded until comfortable, and they accommodate all viewpoints, even those that stand in contrast with their own. They can easily adapt to an eclectic mix of people and are a lot of fun. Due to the swift movement of Mercury, relaxed Virgos can be humorous, easygoing and cheerful.

In matters of money, don’t even attempt to take liberties with your Virgo friend. They see through pretence and smell a rat quicker than you can imagine. They only understand fairness, and if they don’t confront you with your scheming ways, their solution is to silently disappear from your life. Don’t let this happen, as it would be a shame to lose such a trusted ally.

VIRGO ENEMY

“STAND UP TO YOUR OBSTACLES AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM. YOU WILL FIND THAT THEY HAVEN’T HALF THE STRENGTH YOU THINK THEY HAVE.”

NORMAN VINCENT PEALE

Virgo enemies don’t like to make a public spectacle of their feelings towards you. Although exceedingly sharp and communicative, they prefer to repress the negativity and drift away silently.

Before they disappear from your life forever, pay attention to when they start to appear diffident and reserved in your presence. ‘Shutdown mode’ is usually the first sign that Virgo is becoming your enemy. If you find yourself in this situation, it might be a good idea to reflect on your honesty and faithfulness towards them. Have you slighted them in any way? Remember, Virgo will not put up with disrespect in any form.

If you’ve incurred their wrath, they’ll voice their opinion and strip you down to your bare bones. Virgos can be rather vehement when it comes to speaking their mind. If you want to reconcile with them, a sincere apology with candid communication is the first step.

VIRGO
AT HOME

LIFE IS EASIER TO TAKE THAN YOU THINK; ALL THAT IS NECESSARY IS TO ACCEPT THE IMPOSSIBLE, DO WITHOUT THE INDISPENSABLE AND BEAR THE INTOLERABLE.

Kathleen Norris

HOME FRONT

Like all earth signs, Virgos go to painstaking lengths to ensure that their haven is simple, elegant and comfortable. They prefer earthy elements, such as plants, stones, crystals, fresh air and sunlight, each of which finds a special place in their living space. These things impart a relaxed, open and comfortable feel for guests and the people living there.

This humble and undemanding approach to styling conveys an underlying simplicity and orderliness that comforts you immensely, Virgo, even though it may not be in sync with your guests’ independent living styles. This is particularly true with radical Virgos who cover their furniture and carpet with sheets or plastic, and who lose sleep over the tiniest speck of dirt in the house. My advice would be to dispense with the plastic. A house is meant to be lived in and experienced; it’s not sterile ground that needs to be kept sparkling clean.

Your furnishings have a conventional and unfussy feel to them, and because you’re constantly creating something, there will be computers or paperwork scattered throughout. At the same time, orderliness and neatness is the underlying ethos, even in chaos.

You selflessly care for and nurture your loved ones, and you can’t bear to see them uncomfortable or uneasy in any way. You’re courteous in a very humble way, and you put your loved ones at ease. You don’t make demands of people, and your altruism can be heart-warming for others.

Earthy colours such as green, brown and sand, as well as wheat and wood blends, have a calming effect on your psyche. Natural materials like timber and stone are used generously in your physical space, and a lush garden full of blossoms and greens makes the Virgo home complete.

At the same time, try not to over-exaggerate the detailing and perfection in your design and layout. A structured approach may not harmonise with the natural, earthy and easy-going feeling that such textures and materials exude. Your focus is to create a relaxed and welcoming ambience with earthy elements, not a stifling sterile precinct that is psychologically jarring.
