Moon in Virgo Today

The Moon in early Virgo today is reaching for her checklist, this Moon sign being known for attending to details and getting her ducks in a row. She is just leaving a trine (easy flowing energy) with Mercury in steady Taurus, and makes no other aspects today, which on one hand could aid her focus on finally getting the papers filed and the computer backed up, but on the other tends to leave her out of today's big sky events.

Other energies swirling around today may take your focus away from Virgo's ducks. Venus, now in sensitive, nurturing Cancer, is anchoring a set of aspects with ALL of the outer planets, making this a time for shifts and changes in your one-on-one relationships, with your creativity, and potentially with your finances (since Venus is one of the "money" planets).

Venus' position in early Cancer now turns the Saturn-Pluto-Uranus/Jupiter T-Square into a Grand Cross, with oppositions and squares creating challenges all around the zodiac. Venus is also receiving flows of energy (trines) from Neptune and Chiron.

And yet, because of the elements involved, the challenge of this Grand Cross may not feel so much in-your-face, as shifting the ground under your feet: All the planets involved are either in Earth signs (Capricorn and Virgo, with Mercury in Taurus trining Pluto) or in Water (Pisces and Cancer). Neptune is still in late Aquarius, but she's a very watery planet.

Earth and Water are receptive, responsive elements, both yin energies. This may make the challenge one of finding ways to ground the dreams, visions, and feelings that Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron are bringing to us; figuring out how to work with Pluto, Saturn and Mercury to create something tangibly real. What do we really want? What can we really have? Can we create a container big enough and strong enough to hold our biggest dreams? ... These are the kinds of questions that might emerge.

Virgo is not only about adding up the numbers and checking the total. The deepest desire of Virgo is to serve, to find ways of helping others that are pragmatic, practical and real. So perhaps the focus of today's Virgo Moon will be to help figure out exactly how to make the big visions of the cosmos real in our everyday lives, while making sure we all get breakfast. Have a great day :)
