VIRGO

Here we have an enormously powerful person – because right now, you see, it’s their time. Not only do the stars say that – they believe that too. When you get belief and fortune lining up, you get someone who can have a major impact.

Some details out of the way first. While this person undoubtedly has a pure-hearted approach to life, they don’t always do things the way they’d expect other people to do them. In other words, it’s do as I say, not as I do. They do get mistaken for being a cold fish at times. But they’re not cold, not at all, though it does take them a while to warm up, and to grow on people, too (they’re a little hard to get to know!).

But they can be distant when they’re unsure. A lot of the time, they’re just not sure. But because waaay down inside, where you can’t even see, there’s a part of them that’s kind of insecure about being more Mary Poppins than Beyonce. What am I saying? Well, that they’re worried about being ordinary, or like a Nana, you see. They want to own it, love it, strut their stuff, but they’re terrified that they’ll turn into the house cleaning lady… because that’s the dominant part of their nature, and it comes out under stress, too.

They’re very likely to snoop about after other people have tidied up or cooked, click their tongue against their teeth at other people’s grottiness, and maybe even have a thing about morals. It’s not that they’re puritanical - it’s more that they’ve got some very strict rules for themselves. They’re worried that if you break them, well, they might break them too. If that happens, they’re in serious trouble. They could go CRAZY!

So, I’m expecting them to be kind of strict about rosters, setting up a cleaning brigade for the toilets, and worrying if things look messy in the love department. They’re going to try and keep the House working… or tidy… and shipshape - and of course, part of the whole deal is the chaos it will from time to time descend into.

They will also get worried about their own personal hygiene – they’re very big on being clean – and they’ll freak at having to share quarters with someone who may not exactly have their very high standards about bodily functions. (Mind you, they’re no angel.)

I’m seeing them looking over other people and being just that little bit judgemental. I’m seeing them mentally divide the House into groups in their head, and worrying about getting “infected” by other people’s smells, ideas, germs and habits. I am expecting them to be a Lady, in their own weird way. And that could be just deliciously fun.

Why they’re there: Because they’re Mary Poppins in disguise.
Why they’ll stay: It’s those spoonfuls of sugar.
Why they’ll go: Too much bossing about gets up people’s noses.
