Dave Gahan's Horoscope

General Character
Taureans are reliable, patient, plodders who would much rather take time and care to get something right the first time than act a little faster only to be uncomfortable with the result. As children they may appear to be slow learners, but in actual fact will simply be steadily working things through in their own time, refusing to be ruffled by others’ demands. Your persistence in seeing a particular project through to your satisfaction can border on stubbornness, and while the right person may possibly be able to divert you with an appeal to your finer feelings, no-one would ever be able to drive you against your will.
One of your greatest pleasures is in food and drink, in fact all physical or sensuous pleasures, and you like nothing more than to relax around a table with good food and sparkling, stimulating company. Getting you to eat up your greens was unlikely to have been a problem as a child and the best way to have treated you for good behaviour or bribed you out of bad would no doubt have been sweets or a burger. Even now you tend to enjoy comfort eating: a good meal makes up for a lot of whatever might have gone wrong in the course of the day and if you have never tried it may come as a pleasant surprise (especially to Jen) that you are a dab hand in the kitchen.
You have an exceptionally practical nature and a good dose of common sense which helps you make sound decisions in business. When you decide on a course of action it will generally be a wise one, which is just as well given the difficulty someone else would have if they tried to turn you from it! You do, however, tend to make your decisions very quickly, and even change them again just as quickly, which comes out of nowhere and can startle those around you at the apparent contradiction. Such almost blasé, at times, decision-making ought to have landed anyone else in serious trouble, but fortunately, together with inherent practicality you have an acute sense of intuition which can be relied upon almost as well. But your intuition is not quite as strong as you would often have yourself believe, and it is important not to neglect tried and tested logical ways of reaching decisions.
Your sensible and balanced outlook makes you excellent at giving advice to friends who may approach you with problems, and you happily make your shoulder available for people around you to cry on when they need to. You are sympathetic and encouraging with those who come to you for guidance and able to empathise and identify with their situations. While you are generally expansive in conversation and readily take on board other people’s problems, you tend to have difficulty in getting your own off your chest, instead bottling them up and leaving yourself frustrated. Presenting an image of yourself as strong and formidable appeals to you, which sometimes leads you to be secretive about personal matters. Usually this is done on purpose, but on occasions your assurances to others that everything is just fine are put so believably that, worryingly, you can fool even yourself.
An open disposition, together with a warm and genial humour, have gained you a wide circle of friends, and you thrive on being slap bang in the middle of them. Those you choose as close friends will often be those you look to for their experience or influence, while others value you for your reliable character. People know that you will practice what you preach and not waste time telling them anything you do not wholeheartedly mean. If anything, you would want all of your friends, even those who are better described as just acquaintances, to be closer to you than they are, as you have comparatively few people whom you feel you can confide in and relax with as real friends. Sometimes you need to be reminded of the difference in these two kinds of friends and to remember that the kind of close friendship you would like is not something you could maintain with everyone in your broad circle. You may even lose friends, or perceive someone to be less of a friend than they are, because of your high expectations from the friendship. As a devoted and loyal person yourself, you sometimes expect from your friends more loyalty than they could reasonably be expected to give, and may put yourself through needless disappointment through being hurt if they don’t or can’t quite meet your standards.
As pragmatic and careful as you tend to be, this is all offset with an urge towards the spontaneous and unpredictable. As much as you know you need routine to feel secure, you don’t always like it. It is almost as if one part of you is impatient with the other part and secretly enjoys setting the cat amongst your own pigeons once in a while. You are a highly imaginative and emotional person, who comes at almost any new situation with plenty of energy and enthusiasm, and as such you like to play hard, with little time for trivial or conventional leisure pursuits. In fact, you are so naturally energetic that without some kind of physical outlet (or better, several varied hobbies on the go at once) you can quickly feel unfulfilled and restless.
With all your energy and aggression a fierce temper sometimes bursts through your normally easygoing exterior, especially in times of work-related stress or strain. You can form strong opinions, becoming convinced you are right, and not rest easy until everybody else has been convinced too. As an imaginative person who is often following several trains of thought at once, you can sometimes misjudge situations by going on the defensive or overreacting. An outburst of anger can flare up seemingly out of nowhere and when this happens you can become physically violent, taking it out on things around you. You have a long fuse attached to a very large bomb. Yet you rarely fester or hold grudges, letting it all out of your system in one go, and before those around you know it you have gone back to your usual self.
This is an astrological birth chart and interpretation that I drew up for Dave in April 2003. It was sent to him c/o Mute Records as his 41st birthday present, which is why I'm calling him "you" throughout. Since then I've kept it stashed away but with another birthday rolling round this week I think it deserves to get some fresh air! The accompanying picture is an old family snap of Dave as a toddler, taken from the "A Broken Frame" tour programme.
Oh and in the best Sacred DM tradition I suppose we'd better word-count it.

You have a long fuse attached to a very large bomb. Yet you rarely fester or hold grudges, letting it all out of your system in one go, and before those around you know it you have gone back to your usual self.
Home Life
Your need for stability in the home, and security in all areas of life in general, are especially strong. You like routine, as routine means stability, and while you are reasonably good at adapting to a new situation once you have been able to convince yourself of the sense of it, you do not welcome the idea of changes on any level and would much rather not have to adapt at all. At times those close to you, particularly partners, could accuse you of becoming boring in this respect, as your urge to create a safe and secure home life and fear of the unexpected can make you a slave to your chosen routine.
Material possessions and even status symbols give you immense pleasure, and you are not comfortable setting up a home until you feel you have the wherewithal to give a partner all the creature comforts they could ask for. You may at times become over-possessive of your acquisitions or lay too much emphasis on them, and your normally sound business head has its weak spot here. Glamour, life in the fast lane, is irresistible to you. Once in a blue moon, the temptation to break out of the steady, predictable, practical routine gets the better of you and you blow silly money on something that you just saw that was crying out. Whatever it is that appeals to you, it will not be something tastefully understated. What is the point, you would say, investing in a fine artwork if it is only visitors to the apartment that see it? More ‘you’ would be some mean machine you could take a mischievous pleasure in by revving at every traffic lights. “See this everybody?” you beam. “It’s mine!”
In the home, trendy or even kitsch items appeal to you, and you take a lot of pleasure in anything tactile and luxurious-feeling. Your home is your haven, so wherever possible there will be cushions, velvets, silk or satin in the bedroom, seats you can sprawl all over in the lounge, and the kind of carpets and rugs that you can really wriggle your toes into.
As comfort and security in your home life are so dear to you, anything amiss in this area of your life spills over into other areas and undermines your sense of stability there too. You are prepared to really put your back into work in order to supply material needs, especially as it so often happens that you are held back from getting the things you truly want. While possessive and proud of your material gains, nobody could ever call you tight, in fact generosity and a willingness to share with a friend in need are some of your trademarks. Sometimes this generous streak and sympathy towards friends can mislead you into lending to less than genuine ‘friends’ who promptly disappear into the sunset with the cash you, with the best of intentions, thought was going towards helping them out of a tight spot.
Home life presents its especial worries to you and your colourful imagination doesn’t help – you worry about problems before they happen, often needlessly fearing the worst. Your possessive streak extends to family members who may gently have to remind you that they are individuals too, and they may feel a little overwhelmed or claustrophobic watching you obsessively organise the details of domestic life as you see it. You haven’t quite mastered the art of throwing useless things away, and the top drawer is probably stuffed with odd socks that you have kept even after the other of the pair got a hole, just in case another sock from an identical pair also got a hole. Being an occasional scatterbrain in this department doesn’t help – many household bits and bobs disappear for years at a stretch while you protest “I put it somewhere safe so we’d know where to find it”.
A strong attachment to your own family (especially your mother) means that you may have taken a relatively long time to step out from the influence of parents. Your closest family are those of the same generation, and even now you may have some preoccupation with childhood events, in turn being somewhat ‘clingy’ when setting up a family of your own. You always had a strong urge to have children, and will take it harder than most parents when the time comes for a child to leave the nest, as it means that you cannot watch over them and keep them safe. Your tendency to worry is at its strongest where loved ones are concerned.
Love Life
You tend to treasure your own independence and dislike becoming over-involved with people, and as such this could make you a little too detached and reserved. Any partner you choose will need to reach a rapport and mutual understanding with you not only on an emotional level, but also on an intellectual one, sharing common interests and presenting you with a challenging personality. They will definitely need to be your friend before they even think of being your lover, and if there is not the meeting-point on all these levels you will be uneasy about starting a steady relationship. With potential partners, as with friends, you are strongly idealistic, maybe expecting too much of them and then being frustrated when they don’t measure up.
As such you can only show faithfulness to a partner once you are convinced the relationship is secure and has some mileage in it, and until the relationship gets to that point you can be an incurable flirt, maybe even getting into affairs. No doubt you would be a little less confident in embarking on affairs were it not for the fact that you have been blessed with the ability to wriggle your way off of the hook, in fact, despite being a normally genuine and earnest person, you don’t object to bullshitting for England when the situation calls for it. If you do have a ‘fling’ it may be very spur of the moment and you find you have expended your feelings on someone who does not return them. You can be as much of a risk-taker emotionally as you can be physically and financially, but have more resources than most when it comes to working to overcome obstacles in a relationship. Should a relationship fail you are optimistic enough to be able to bounce your way back from it with comparatively little grief.
At heart, though, no-one could deny that you are an old romantic, in fact it is one of your most obvious qualities. If you do sometimes become fickle or misled in relationships it is because your heart can lead your head and you ‘fall in love with love’. You happily let your romantic nature overrule your otherwise pragmatic, careful outlook and you make a sympathetic, understanding, lively and fun-loving partner. A partner could never doubt your strength of feeling as you are one of the most intense, physically passionate and demonstrably affectionate people around, and your tactile nature makes you the ideal person for a massage or general TLC.
A contented home life being your priority, you are prepared to sacrifice your own happiness or put your own ambitions on a back burner for the sake of a loved one. You may elevate a relationship to a near-mystical level, and from time to time have to be pulled down from cloud nine by the ankles with irksome details like paying the bills. The pleasures of a romantic night in are so irresistible to you that you have been known to start an argument for the sake of it just so that you can allow your partner to appeal to your sensitive side, and then delight in graciously patching up the argument – either with a posh meal or a snuggle on the settee!

Career
In work, you would be content to do boring but mundane tasks for a guaranteed wage. As pleasant as a more high-flying and better paying career move might be with the benefits of extra cash, this would be outweighed in your mind by the nagging thought that the money coming in could not always be relied on. You build your career steadily, wary of sudden leaps forward, and are patient enough to keep your eyes on the long term result.
An unusual career path is evident in your horoscope and Taureans are regularly found in musical careers, with many being powerful vocalists. Fellow musical Taureans include Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Cher, Roy Orbison, Perry Como, Mike Oldfield and, err, Gary Glitter. Were you not to have taken this path you would have been strongly drawn to caring, or humanitarian professions as these are issues that concern you. Social injustice and animal welfare are also matters important to you and you may support charities related to this.
You have immense drive and ambition to succeed, gritting your teeth in order to achieve above and beyond usual expectations, and are rarely daunted by failure even when surrounded by naysayers. If you are discouraged from your aims, which are always long-term beyond what others would even consider, it will be as a result of a little voice inside you nagging you about a fear of failure. A lot of willpower is poured into expressing your creative or artistic side, and this enables you to weather any failures. As such you take a great deal of pride in personal successes which is not dimmed if those around you show indifference.
Any problem or new situation is approached dynamically and originally, as you are a compulsive seeker and questioner of received opinions and ways of doing things. An intellectual challenge is a red rag to you and you enthusiastically apply yourself to study. You constantly need to be exchanging and weighing up contrasting views and opinions, and if anything opinions are of more significance to you than hard fact.
Once settled on a point of view, others will have difficulty in turning you from it and you may become entrenched. If this happens, you can follow an objective almost fanatically, and if your charisma fails to win others round to your obsessive pursuit of a goal or insistence on how to go about a particular project, you can become stubborn or bloody-minded. If you feel you are in a position to impose your views on others you can become cold in dealing with them, and your usual forbearance dries up if you feel you are being challenged here. You may try to browbeat peers into taking the course of action that seems best to you even when they are uneasy, but more often you win them round either through more subtle and cunning means or your infectious and dynamic enthusiasm.
By and large you have a good head for money and know when a scheme is financially sound. You need to guard against schemes for getting rich quick as your crafty streak can tempt you into wheeling and dealing, and also take care to read the small print of anything you sign because you often don’t! Your biggest safeguard in finance, as with most areas of your life, is that you have the convenient knack of landing on your feet come what may.
Health
With your innate love of food and ‘the good life’ your biggest health worry is the battle of the bulge. Fortunately your impulsive energy means few problems here but putting on weight may start to become a concern as you get older: you do not always eat as sensibly as you ought to.
You have a serious inability to relax and just ‘chill out’, and this restlessness also makes you prone to worry. This and your difficulty in unburdening your troubles to others can mean that some kind of relaxation therapy or meditation to give your mind a little breathing space is very welcome, as if not addressed promptly, professional help may be needed. Worry and stress can leave you more prone to catching whatever is going around or just feeling generally under the weather.
Unusual health symptoms go hand in hand with the unusual career, and here you can be your own worst enemy. Your imaginative and sometimes escapist streak can become poisonous, and the urge to recourse to alcohol and drugs and go on some kind of kamikaze mission here, even to the point of self-destruction, is clearly in your horoscope. But, fortunately, so also are the emotional resilience and ability needed to draw a line under these problems.
You sunburn easily and any cuts and grazes will take a long time to heal. Being in your line of business it won’t be very welcome news that you have a tendency to throat problems (even outside of what would be expected from the strains of performing) and also to headaches. Overall you are one of the most naturally vivacious and energetic signs and other aspects of your chart back this up, and as you get older this will mean you are better able to remain fit and active while being mentally as sharp as ever. Given this and your willful character I can hear the shout go up in the old folks’ home now – “Nurse! Mr Gahan’s out of bed again!”
