Natal Aspects: Moon in Virgo

The Moon in Virgo shows a person that is emotionally articulate, detailed - very organised, particularly around their own space, their work and home.  They are often very 'concious' individuals - in the sense that they have a very attuned antennae for emotional undercurrents and this awareness of the patterns of things brings them into the role of the fixer - this is someone who will toil long and hard to put things right - on the plus side this presents itself as loyalty and commitment in relationships.

The Moon in Virgo is very perceptive of flaws generally and dedicate themselves to a sense of understanding of this lack of 'cleanliness'.  This sense of order can see them in subordinate positions, clearing away the mess and debris left by others.  There is often great skill here - an expertise in some area that has been well honed and crafted and yet they are their own worse critics, perhaps 'naggy' to a certain extent but often quite hard on themselves.

This is a combination (like the Moon in Gemini) of Moon and Mercury - the dichotomy of what the heart and emotions want to express, feel, flow with and the logical brain, the intellect and reason - with the result that there is often a conflict between the two - if reason wins out then the person can be slightly 'anally retentive', nervous, stressed and with an obsession for detail and perhaps negative.

Despite all this, there is a rather lovely humbleness and self effacing quality to the Moon in Virgo, as if they've learnt the lessons of bravado and ego - they don't need to show off and force themselves on others.  They make fine and loyal friends, organisers, administrators and have excellent abilities of transmitting knowledge to wider audiences.

Information is food for a Moon in Virgo - their working life often a barometer of their emotional condition - as is their ability to maintain their home to a standard of comfort and eating healthily - all of these things in their right place contribute to a sense of ownership of their Moon and hence a more rounded and well adjusted emotional life.
