Moon into Virgo: Connecting the Dots

Monday evening through Wednesday night

The Moon stepped into careful, practical Virgo territory tonight at 9:16pm EDT. After the heady rush of Leo's passion, the Moon shifts focus to the details. We've had the rush of creative inspiration, now, what's the first step to making something real happen? Then what's the next step after that?

During this transit through Virgo, the Moon consults many other planets, gathering the information she needs to make a detailed plan. The moment she steps into Virgo, the Moon finds herself opposite Neptune in Pisces, a reminder to each that service to others (a value Virgo and Pisces share) includes both the practicalities of daily life (Virgo's specialty) and a sense of our connection to wider communities (Pisces' territory).

Tonight would be a good night for recording dreams, as the Moon sextiles Venus in sensitive Cancer just after midnight, then continues on to form an inconjunct to Uranus, a trine to Jupiter, and an opposition to Chiron overnight.

Opening a conversation with the planet of harmony, creativity and relationships, plus finances and luck (Venus), then adjusting to the revolutionary call of Uranus, flowing with expansive, fortunate Jupiter, and reaching a healing accord with Chiron could bring amazing dreams of inspiration, transformation, abundance, and healing.

Tomorrow opens with a flowing trine between the Virgo Moon and Pluto in Capricorn. Having gathered the information from many sources, the alchemical work is now ready to begin. Tuesday afternoon brings a square between the Moon and Mars in Gemini, while Mars trines Saturn in Libra. The Mars-Saturn combination continues the these of getting things done, while the Moon keeps practical details in the forefront.

Tuesday evening brings a flowing sextile between the Sun and Moon, the first clear look at what our New Moon wishes might become. This is the last classical aspect for the Moon in Virgo, initiating a long void-of-course time that lasts until Wednesday night.

To remind us that our New Moon intentions are still developing, the Virgo Moon squares the Nodes Wednesday morning, offering a reminder to keep our eyes on the goal, even during this reflective period. Just before midnight, the Moon enters harmonious Libra.

This Moon transit through Virgo is a time to attend to details, nurturing New Moon wishes with practical wisdom.
