Moon in Virgo – the traits of this unique planetary alignment and how it will affect you
Our lady Luna rules the emotional realms
She tugs at our feelings, our sensitivities and instinctive reactions to the world around us. She also powers up our intuition, forming a pathway through the veil. This ancient Goddess of embodiment can also make the subtle landscape of our physical bodies rise and fall, feel soothed or inflamed, depending on how she calls to your uniqueness.
The Moon spends between 1-4 days at a time in a single zodiac sign.
Some folks are highly attuned to her celestial shifts, and some rarely feel them at all. But as a collective, the current Moon sign has a definite, though subtle influence on the energetic climate of our days. So alongside the Sun sign knowing what the current Moon sign is, will help you navigate her waters SO much more smoothly…
In today’s collective horoscope, the Moon moves through Virgo, the organized, methodical and meticulous sign of the virgin (or maiden).
Moving on from heart-centered Moon sign Leo, this action-oriented Virgo Moon will likely inspire you to shower your time, energy and expertise onto others. But it’s unlikely to have you sitting around just listening to your friend’s woes – Virgo’s restless drive urges us to tackle whatever needs doing head-on!
Devil’s in the detail
The Moon here in this sign of the Zodiac also amplifies attention to detail. It’s a lunar transit favored by bookkeepers and editors – under a Virgo Moon sign, every ‘i’ is dotted and every ‘t’ is crossed. That pile of clean laundry still in the basket? Folded in minutes. Stack of old paperwork on the side? Sorted and filed. A Virgo Moon sign has the potential to turn us all into domestic Goddesses of the highest order!
Watch the nervous energy
Under the watch of ruling planet Mercury, be wary of the high-speed stream of nervous energy that can hit when Virgo’s in town. It’s the most self-critical of the signs, and despite being overloaded with common sense, you could get bouts of feeling like an underachiever if you don’t take enough time for self-care. This aspect of your well-being practice really does matter for earth-sign Virgo. So stopping every now and again to breathe deeply and smell the roses can be a wonderful (and much needed) way to ground into your body and appreciate how far you’ve come. Your self-esteem levels will love you for it!
Strategy Session
This astrology also brings a meticulous planning ability. So this could be a good couple of days to strategize and diarise the next few weeks/months of your life. With such a strong sense of organization rippling through the collective horoscope, why not grab a calendar (or your iPhone) and start plugging in dates. You’re far more likely to get done what you need to later on if it’s written down in plain sight.
Some stargazers find they are physically affected by the Moon’s transit. As ruler of the digestive system, under Moon sign Virgo it could really serve you need to eat clean and help your body as it goes through its natural cycle of purification.
