Virgo Full Moon and the rise of germaphobia

The meticulous logic of Virgo gets overwhelmed by the uncertainties of the Sun’s hazy conjunction with Neptune and a stationary Mercury in Aquarius. Facts get blown out of proportion and there is a general sense of paranoia and confusion amiss. I’m talking about potential quarantines and hoarding hand-sanitizer. Think about it. Neptune creates sensational hype and stirs the imagination. On the same token, Neptune represents the dissolving of boundaries, which is why there is fear around containment and the general effectiveness of barriers or masks. Neptune is porous, which is generally not great at boundaries. This can be great for elevating compassion, helping others, and praying for divine intervention, but not for self-imposed quarantine!

The Full Moon in Virgo turns us all into temporary germaphobes. And with good reason!

Virgo has a penchant for cleanliness, organization, efficiency and selfless acts. Virgo wants to be of service (please, no need to thank me), is humble and deeply caring. Use this time to get organized, clean and do something helpful for another.

Mercury rules the Full Moon and slows to a standstill in the sky, representing the PAUSE. When will Warren offer an endorsement? We’re all practicing the pause right now as we weigh logic and precaution with selflessness and compassion.

The Virgo Full Moon offers the opportunity to check-out of the world so that we may check in with ourselves. With all the methods of checking out, choose the path which most serves your well-being right now. For some, it will be meditation and others it will be some much needed couch time.
