Celebrity profile:
Hugh Grant

Like most Virgos, you are an exacting perfectionist with a clear, logical, analytical mind and an aptitude for work that requires meticulous attention to detail and efficient organisation. Well-grounded and pragmatic, you tend to develop specialised skills and technical expertise in some practical field. Knowledge, ideas and theories don't really interest you unless they are useful in a tangible way. You are inclined to analyse, measure and dissect everything and to miss the subtle shades of feeling and meaning. Your strengths are in your precise thinking, careful craftsmanship and mastery of technical skills. You tend to be very good at what you do and critical of others' work if it does not meet your high Virgo standards.

Argumentative and rather aggressive and critical in discussions, you tend to turn any conversation into a debate and sometimes a verbal war. You could be a spokesperson for a righteous cause, a lawyer vigorously defending a client, a sharp analyst or critic. You are a convincing speaker, but are not especially receptive to the ideas and opinions of others. You have a forceful intellect and an aptitude for mental work.

You have an abundance of ideas, interests and plans for the future and may find it difficult to focus on one particular area. You are not a specialist for you see the big picture the broad rather than closely examining any of its component parts. Philosophy, religion or other areas of theoretical speculation interest you.

You also possess foresight, numerous enterprising ideas and a gambling instinct, all of which contribute to your success in the world of business. However, your optimism and grand vision can get you in trouble too; you sometimes promise more than you can deliver, gloss over important details and overestimate the potential of an idea or product.

Travelling is a great love of yours, especially if there is a mind-expanding or educational aspect involved, and you may travel extensively in your work. Consulting or education would be good fields for you.

Prudent and broad minded, you have a talent for organising and negotiating advantageous business deals. You have a wealth of plans and are capable of thinking them out and putting them into action successfully. You have the sense to avoid any real risky ventures.

Section 4: Emotions: moods, feelings, romance

You possess the gifts of tact, courtesy, consideration and a strong desire to please and understand your partner. Because you value harmony so much, you will compromise a great deal to avoid any discord or conflict. Like many Virgos, you do not like to dwell on controversial or emotionally difficult subjects and often try to 'smooth things over', a trait that is enhanced by the presence of Venus in Libra found in your chart.

In love, you want an intellectual peer, an equal and a friend. You are attracted to people who have a certain finesse, delicacy and subtlety. You appreciate good manners and refinement and are not happy with a coarse, blunt type of person.

You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a light-hearted, open and playful way with others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure. Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, like many Virgos you are very cautious about becoming close to people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you. You may become romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love.

Your association with those around you may have a depressing influence on you causing you to shy away from mutual participation of any kind. Finding it difficult to express yourself emotionally you are quite likely to become a loner.

You are likely to have very strange experiences in love. You are inclined to fantasise a lot about love and seem to admire the unattainable. Strongly attracted to the spiritual dimensions of life, you may pursue the study of mystical and occult subjects.
