Grounded Change - Moon in Virgo 7/23-7/25

Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Virgo Thursday the 23rd at 12:39am UTC to Saturday the 25th at 2:53am UTC.

Moon in Virgo: Neutral placement for the moon, 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 is 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 tropicality (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 a fire sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.

Moon’s ruler: The Moon forms a Sextile to her ruler, Mercury, in Cancer. The sextile provides straightforward support, and so the work done and things accomplished during this time will be more likely to have longer-lasting results. Moreover, this creates a mutual reception, and so the support is even stronger. Emotive issues and topics involving the heart and perception will be more present than usual, given the mutual reception with Mercury in Cancer.

Aspects

  • Square Venus in Gemini. The positive potential that comes from Venus is available, but it will require more work on your part for it to arrive. Helpful conversation, exploration with the fine arts, and friendship can all abound today so after some initial difficulty is worked through.

  • Trine Jupiter in Capricorn. This brings great support from teachers and authority figures. emotional bouyancy will abound more so than usual, and the mood will be more optimistic than is generally the case with Moon in Virgo. But…

  • Trine 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: Get all the details of your life sorted out and put your ducks in a row - now is the time do so. You have a lot of support from the stars coming to ensure you do it successfully. While you may find some roadblocks coming your way from Saturn, they will ultimately turn into your favor, and there is a great number of aspects coming in from the other planets to ensure that the work done and the activities begun during this period are successful.
