The Tao of Astrology
Moon in Virgo You have the soul of the mentor, sacred servant, and disciple of craft. The urge to feel emotional contentment is satisfied when you are seeking to serve life, evolving in the world through mastery of skills, reflecting on the nature of form, penetrating and analyzing structures, and distributing nature like a helpful herbalist. In this life you are asked to demonstrate devotion through step-by-step process in the field of life experience the Moon occupies. The emotional field of your soul is governed by the element of earth, which will center you emotionally when you soak in its essence. You feel emotionally secure when you are analytical, patient, humble, realistic, and service-oriented. Your lunar element reveals how you will react in any situation. You react with dutiful service, self-sacrifice, valuable criticism, and hard work. Your instinctual nature is governed by the archetype of the Zen Master and is precise, discriminating, and orderly. The Moon governs your vulnerabilities and need for emotional security. It also shows how you will nurture, protect and nourish others. Moon in Virgo people have the gift of being able to see the flaws in people’s characters or methods. If they express this ability in a nit-picky, faultfinding, perfectionist way, people will be driven away and will miss out on your valuable insights. If you sit back and watch like an unassuming wise master, eventually they’ll ask you for advice because they will feel the practical wisdom emanating from your core. The Moon also points to our habitual moods. With the Moon in pure and neat Virgo your moods are based on the flow of reason and logic in your brain. Efficiency and order will guide your moods like the pointy-eared starship officer we all know and love. They could even turn anal-retentive, legalistic, and self-effacing. Virgo Moons, despite their wisdom can lack perspective, skilled at spotting the details, but missing the big picture entirely. You might be overly attached to neatness, analysis, and logic. Sometimes life asks you to just sit back and enjoy it without breaking it into pieces and categories. Can you overcome the shadow of the Moon and transform martyr-like tendencies into heartfelt service and devotion to all life, including nature. You are challenged not to give discriminatory advice to others unless they freely ask for it. Your habitual style of expressing emotion is intelligent and realistic. Inner contentment comes through any endeavor that allows you to focus on perfection, putting things in order, and being of service to humanity. Any role that gives outlet to that detailed heart, ranging from the naturopath to the musician, will calm your being. A daily routine that involves sacrifices and duties as well as mentoring and tweaking projects will soothe your soul. Virgo Moons make great editors. In writing or creative endeavors they must learn to allow first drafts to be lame. Don’t get it perfect; just get it created. Then you can tweak it later. Your approach to home and family needs to be realistic, practical, and routine-oriented without becoming boring and overly critical. The most enlightened Virgo Moon people I’ve met overcorrect their neatness by purposefully becoming slobs! The style of your imagination is nurtured when you are applying your analytical skills and precise attention to detail to events and projects. The chart positions of both Mercury and Chiron by signs, houses, and aspects will have dynamic influences on your emotional contentment. |
