Moon in Virgo, moving to Libra

The Moon makes her careful way through Virgo today, attending to the details of life, attempting to herd cats, doing her best to line up those ducks, and generally doing all the things (and I do mean all ... ) that Virgo feels are so important.

At the end of the day, we reach the end of the seed time of the lunation cycle, as the Moon approaches her first quarter square with the Sun (12:30am EDT). The square is an aspect of challenge when our New Moon wishes and intentions may be tested. We may see the shape of the emerging wish for the first time ... is this what we really wanted? We may be presented with a choice ... will we choose the new intention or the old way of being? Our wishes are growing and developing now, and need support, including the support that the right kinds of challenge can provide.

Just after 1:00am EDT tomorrow, the Moon goes void of course for a few hours, a window for reflection, if only in dreams. At 4:13am EDT, she enters the sign of Libra, the gracious diplomat. As she does, she finds herself opposite the Uranus-Jupiter conjunction in pioneering Aries.

The Libra-Aries polarity is about finding the balance between self and other, focused goal attainment and overall harmony. The Libra Moon asks, how is radical change affecting our sense of balance? Can we find a path of harmony through a time when nothing seems the same? Libra offers us comfort in beauty–not a superficial prettiness, but the deep loveliness of right relationship.

Remember the prayer of the Navajo, the Diné, who say:

In the house made of dawn,
In the house made of evening twilight,
In the house made of dark cloud and rain
In beauty I walk.

With beauty before and behind me,
With beauty below and above,
With beauty all around me, I walk.
