Cultivating Grit - Moon in Virgo 12/6 - 12/8
Entry: Sunday December 6th at 2:26pm EST / 7:46pm UTC
Departure: Tuesday December 8th at 7:01pm EST / Wednesday December 9th at 12:01am UTC.
Moon in Virgo: Peregrine, a foreign place without support. Since Mercury is of the daytime sect currently, her ruler is not a sectmate. On its own, Virgo moons are generally good times to get your ducks in a row and sort your life out. Cleaning, organizing, and doing activities which lead to more control and mastery over the details of your life are more successful here. Doing taxes or payroll – really anything involving details and precision – will be more successful now.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Bicorporeal Earth. Bicorporeality indicates activities and moods which are a mean between the extremes of movability (cardinality) and fixedness, not as erratic and changing as the former, but not as solid and steady as the latter. The earth element emphasizes the physical body and propensity for work, and the Moon in an earth sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.
Moon’s ruler: The Moon forms an Superior Bicorporeal square to Mercury in Sagittarius. There is some struggle with the Moon’s ruler. A bit of caution is in order with communications and feelings that may arise over plans. Differing opinions are plentiful.
Relationship to the Sun: Superior Bicorporeal square to the Sun in Sagittarius. Obstacles and roadblocks will arise to thwart your intentions. Things may take longer than you expected, and the days may not look how you intended. You will find yourself engaged in many different activities throughout the day.
Aspects
Superior sextile to Venus in Scorpio. This will help to keep mood uplifted and supported - friendships and interpersonal harmony will flow freely, and there will be more support for group dynamics and collective pursuits. However, Venus’ placement in detriment indicates potential for a darker underbelly to exist with interpersonal interactions during this time - be on the lookout for other people manipulating you for their own agenda.
Superior Earth Trine to Jupiter in Capricorn. This brings great support from teachers and authority figures. emotional buoyancy will abound more so than usual, and the mood will be more optimistic than is generally the case with Moon in Virgo.
Superior Earth Trine to Saturn in Capricorn. This will offset some of the above optimism. You may find difficult experiences coming up that will thwart your agenda or sidetrack you, but you can transmute the difficult events or emotions that arise much more easily given the trine aspect.
Summary: This Virgo period has the potential to be very productive and supportive, with the positive aspects from benefics. As always, this will be an excellent time to set your house in order and organize yourself - catch up on the little tasks you’ve been putting off. We have new trines coming in from Jupiter and Saturn - This will provide more support and aid to ensuring that you accomplish all the little things on your to-do list. The square from Venus has become a sextile, and tensions with other people indicated during the last period has the chance to resolve, though the Scorpio placement of Venus implies that things won’t just completely turn out for the best. While Mercury’s trine has intensified into a square now, the square is still helpful for longterm results. Don’t expect things to come super easily - roadblocks and obstacles will arise, but if you can push through them it will be possible to overcome them.
