Moon in Virgo: Place of Sectmate, a foreign place without support. Since Mercury is of the nighttime sect currently, the Moon’s ruler is a sectmate, and though without any essential dignity she finds herself somewhat comfortable here. 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: Superior Earth Trine to Mercury in Capricorn. There is a great amount of support in grounding the significations of this period into reality. On its own, the Moon-Mercury trine provides great ease with expression and language, and the clarification of thoughts and ideas.
Relationship to the Sun: Superior Earth Trine to the Sun in Capricorn. There is great harmony and flow between your own desires and intentions and what the world has to offer you. External work is easier, and less roadblocks arise to get in your way. The earthy quality of the trine promotes stability and reliability. You will tap into this the most if you try to remain in the present moment and keep yourself grounded, doing grounded things.
Aspects
Superior Bicorporeal Square to Venus in Sagittarius. Last period’s trine has morphed into a square. Tension and coldness between your own wants and needs and those of others. Interpersonal relationships are strained. The muses become quiet and artistic inspiration slows down.
Summary: There is a lot of good stuff going on with this Moon in Virgo period, as she has tremendous support from the Sun and her ruler Mercury by way of trines. As always, this will be an excellent time to accomplish tasks and cross a lot off your to-do list. We are also fortunate insofar as the Moon does not form aspects to either of the two malefic planets. This is the moment to tie up any loose ends, set your house in order and organize yourself - catch up on the little tasks you’ve been putting off that have been nagging you. This is an excellent opportunity to regain some mastery and control over the material sides of your life if you are feeling as though you have lost some. The only challenge is the Moon’s square to Venus. There is a slightly greater potential for people to get on each other’s nerves right now. Don’t let your pursuit of your own agenda cause anyone else unnecessary suffering.
