Moon in Virgo

As the Earth revolves around the Sun, so does the Moon revolve around the Earth. While our Sun sign tells us what “season” of the year we come from, our Moon sign and its relationship to the Sun tells us what “time of the month” we come from. The Moon’s phases pulse with the tides, like breathing in and out, like a flower opening and closing. While the Sun rules the day representing our outward expression and visible public lives, the Moon rules the night, representing our inner private lives, where we absorb and reflect our inherited circumstances and surroundings: our habits, instincts, emotions, patterns, comforts, our bodies, our origins, our mothers.

The Moon in Virgo is in a mutable earth sign and takes on the qualities of its ruler, Mercury. So the Moon in Virgo is more practical, prudent, down to earth, sensible. People with this placement tend to find comfort in the simplicity of being productive, especially in skills or trades involving materials, calculations and their hands. While being organized, prudent and efficient is a potential result of this placement, there can also be the tendency to be too much of a worker, a worrier and a perfectionist. Sometimes this workaholic streak can be linked back to early experiences where you saw parents be crafty and thrifty to get by, or needing simple productive distractions from everyday horrors. It’s difficult for people with the Moon in Virgo to function without lists, plans and schedules.

This is especially true if you were born at night and/or with Cancer or Virgo Rising. If you were born at night you will tend to exhibit more of the positive qualities of this placement, and potentially more than your Sun sign. If you were born during the day you will tend to exhibit more of the difficulties associated with this placement and identify more with your Sun sign.
