The Moon is gently gliding through the sign of Virgo placing concern on health, cleanliness, hygiene, proper diet, and work. This can stress careers as doctors, nurses, or jobs related to medicine, health and hygiene, or work related to food preparation and distribution.
Greater involvement with neighbors and community is also emphasized. This is an excellent time to buy, sell, or enhance property and if you’re considering the purchase of a home, you’ll carefully consider the choice of neighborhoods. In fact, you’ll handle practical responsibilities efficiently, both in the home and on the job, and this might even be reflected in your particular choice of dress and personal appearance. There may be a connection to work in dress design and the clothing industry as possible sources of employment. Overall, there’s good memory for detail, and the ability to handle figures or work that requires precision and manual dexterity. Those with strong Virgo in the natal chart (sun, moon, or rising) are highlighted.
The current energy stimulates a strong need to communicate with other people even if you’re normally shy when dealing with strangers or emotional issues. You enjoy intellectual conversations with friends, relatives, and coworkers, but at times you’ll tend to operate on instincts that cause you to inadvertently say things you probably shouldn’t given the possible repercussions or effect on others. This can be particularly true if you have a very specific idea of what others may deserve or need as society struggles with differences in religion or culture. The provocation may be the powerful influence of past experiences, habits, and reactions that trigger automatic responses without thoughtfully considering the present situation. While you’re entitled to your own opinions, openly vocalizing your private thoughts may not serve the best interest of you or others. In some cases, it proves difficult to even know what you truly think due to the mixed messages you receive or because of your own inner conflict. You may be of two minds on issues as you attempt to integrate head and heart; feelings with thoughts.
This is also a busy period when others can make inroads on your valuable time instigating the necessity to determine priorities and what’s best for you. Additionally, too many projects can lead to nervous exhaustion or health issues.
This energy is supportive for a writer, psychologist, artist, counselor, or any task that requires uniting the conscious with the unconscious mind. Keen powers of observation allow you to notice what others miss that can manifest through the awareness and interest in the different, romantic, or difficult lifestyles of others. You may wish to express your ideas to the largest audience possible to become a public personality, especially in your area or field of expertise. Perhaps you accomplish this through teaching, writing, or public speaking. The personal presentation and message can make a lasting impression on how you’re perceived. A favorable response is also good for salespersons, bankers, real estate and insurance agents and anyone dealing with the general public.
While this isn’t necessarily the time for long term commitments, it is an influence to pursue your passion, creative interests, and romance, and for some, this cycle will herald marriage or the birth of a child. Any lingering atmosphere of conflict now dissipates into erotic union and sexual love. In some instances, this is due to deprivation of the beloved and the dichotomy of opposites that must be reconciled through union. But the longing for the ideal is actually a desire to ascend from the material to the spiritual. It extends well beyond the physical and is also auspicious for the achievement of heartfelt desires and the beginning of creative projects.
The keyword for this cycle is conservatism and can stress ideas or people committed to traditional values who may oppose change. But change is the only constant. Positively, this denotes one with a constructive and artistic mind, lover of art, and appreciation for nature. It can indicate a conservative approach of reserve in matters or in the preservation of resources. Negatively, it may provoke justification for actions based on the “rightness” of beliefs in the fight to gain advantage or maintain a status quo past its prime and under threat of expiration.
