Waning Moon in Virgo

Today's Virgo Moon pulls out her best glasses to scrutinize, analyze, and organize as she encounters the big energies of the outer planets today. She'll also try to stay grounded as Mars and Venus create some intensity of their own.

Mars in Sagittarius will square Jupiter in Pisces (9:51am EST), a challenge that amps up the desire to jump in and take action, explore, adventure ... possibly in Martian areas like sports or anything physically active, possibly in more philosophical or spiritual areas, drawing on Jupiter and Pisces. The Virgo Moon's caution can help avoid extremes.

Later (7:33pm), Venus leaves Libra and enters Scorpio, traversing the territory she's been through twice before––direct, then retrograde, now direct once again. This is our chance to really understand and integrate what we've learned from Venus about our creative lives and relationships. The Virgo Moon's groundedness can keep us from going off Scorpio's deep end, and bring what we know into the everyday.

Then, the Moon opposes Jupiter (8:41pm) and squares Mars (9:15pm), creating a T-square that emphasizes the need to combine Jupiter and Sagittarius' expansive enthusiasm, Mars' action, the Moon's connection to feeling, and Virgo's practicality.

Tonight, the Virgo Moon will oppose Uranus in Pisces, while forming inconjunct angles-of-adjustment with Neptune and Chiron. The Moon's final aspect in Virgo will be a square to Mercury the messenger, in Sagittarius, sign of the quest. Look for messages in dreams ... with Virgo's eye for detail, and Mercury involved, perhaps we'll remember the words spoken to us in dreams tonight!

Today offers abundant energy for insight, understanding and action. Working with the Virgo Moon can help channel that energy into practical and productive channels.
