MoonWeek VIRGO thru SCORPIO

This is a waning moon week. It's the stage of the cycle that the energy in the full moon dissipates, ebbs out. To go with the flow now is to filter out the chaff in our lives, sift for the pure kernels. It's clear if you just set the environment and the feeling in yourself. Clear out some time this week to take stock. Mid-week under the Libra moon is probably the kindest time to make this survey. When the Scorpio moon kicks in toward the weekend we're going to have the curtain rolled back again on things that have been under the surface, best to have the plate cleared before you get a served another steaming pile.

We have the mind working on Monday, the Virgo Moon and Mars conjuncts Jupiter. It will flavor the week and give a strong sizzle in the arenas of expansion internal and external. It can be a bit aggressive so best to check the safety feature on the parts of us that have sharp tongue and offer unasked for critiques. It can explode right back into your face and become something that will take weeks to subdue and resolve.

It's a beginning of the two day window to really get some cleaning, straightening and organizing done that will flavor the rest of the year. It only takes a couple of hours to tidy up areas that you've been stalling on for months.

The 'last quarter' is official on Tuesday now we are in the darkest part of the cocoon, moving toward a new moon the middle of next week. Virgo gets a lot of flak for being anal, but you can use the Moon in Virgo to get things in line, even if you just organize the piles, in you mind or in the closet. It's about running your vision over it all. The mind is active; meetings can get a lot done if you don't obsess on the minutia. This 'creative spread sheet vision' is like a special power to infuse the mundane and realize simple lists and tasks are how great things happen.

The sweet patch of the week begins on Wednesday with the moon moving into Libra and active with all the planets in Sagittarius. We can imbibe in the elixir of kindness and diplomacy. The only place to start with ourselves. Those that rode the wave of the week and cleared some space in the clutter cleanout now realize the space in the perspective of the mind. We're able to adjust the vision and see all the perspectives. No decision required it's an experiential thing. The way a simple squeeze of the hand and eye contact can erode away anger and some of the darker emotions we share. Peace is a verb not a noun, when it's an adjective we should gulp every breath of it.

This vibe continues into Thursday and we could use a couple of days of it. You can just let it flow into you or engage it and extend some olive branches. The truth is that there is no closure; it's not like stitches in a wound. The wound is just replaced by the scar; the healing is an experience that's separate from it all. They say that pain is involuntary but suffering is an agreement we have with ourselves and our wounds.

The Moon heads into Scorpio on Friday and we get a bit deep and serious. It isn't ominous but after this mental week it's going to be nice to sink deep into the body, into the core of what we are. Careful with the personal judgments, remember the subconscious is always listening. The brave and aware will glance back to last month at this time and look for signs that some of that drama may have repetitive cycles going on. Rather then focusing on the facts of it look to the energy behind it, the source. A little tweaking and awareness in these depths can free you up from drama later.

Mercury is square Uranus bringing together Sag and Pisces, when you mix fire and water you get steam. It could be releasing in passionate arguments, sift through it for the message. If you're the one giving out the message keep the voice tone tolerable. It's easy to get fired up early in the day and then every interaction you have has that intensity. Resetting is as easy as taking a conscious breath.

Saturday Hanukkah begins and the season of remembrance is on is, Christmas is around the corner. All of the religious observances are astrally connected. Before the Internet and cable TV we watched the heavens. We had this sense that they also watched us. It's true we are involved in this exchange of starlight, under this Scorpio moon you can take small acts, rituals, prayers, which can deepen that sensitivity in yourself. We don't have to understand it, just feel it. At the depth of Scorpio awareness is that: instant understanding. Be your own proof that love and kindness can influence the world.

The end of the week has the moon in Scorpio Sunday a great day to treat yourself to a 'soul spa'. What is that you ask? Different for all but the goal is the same, to get comfortable, clean, relaxed and commune with yourself. The deep channels are open; greet yourself like a friend you haven't seen for a while, catch up with yourself. Around the house you can infuse things with this energy, if you're not the alter type, use plants, art something to speak to you. As we set up these static reminders they are charged. Later next week they can surprise you with feeling when your eyes fall on them or you smell those flowers, reminding yourself there is a deeper nature. You don't have to drag it up here; sometimes you have to go into the depths to meet it.
