OCTOBER 15-17: CHALLENGING VIRGO MOON

MOON ENTERS VIRGO at 7:19am EDT on Sunday, October 15 and remains here until Tuesday, October 17 at 7:27am. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Conjunct Mars in Virgo. Ruled by Mercury, this Mutable Earth Moon is likely to be testy. The analytical nature of Virgo can veer easily towards being critical and even angry in our communications. Attention to details, cleanliness and a drive towards order, all Virgo's better attributes, can get anal, nit-picky and judgmental very fast. Put Mars in the mix and some good ole fashion rage may ensue! Be aware of these traps and try to see the bigger picture. Keep your eye on the goal and don't let the small stuff get in the way. Mars might instead give us the physical energy for whatever organizing work that needs to be done. Virgo as natural ruler of the 6th house of Health also asks us to nip any brewing physical imbalances in the bud. In general, actions initiated during this Moon period will tend to have CHALLENGING results.

VIRGO SCENE FOR THE DAY: Frasier, Season 3, Episode "She's the Boss", 1995; Director: Philip Charles MacKenzie. This is one of my favorite classic sitcoms and this scene is one of those unforgettable snippy Virgonian Frasier and Niles moments. There's no tv character with more Virgo traits than Niles Crane: he's a compulsive clean freak, always impeccably dressed and can match Frasier in nit-pickiness. When these two get into it there's no detail beyond scrutiny and no phrase for which a more precise word cannot be found! In this scene Niles has purchased a pistol which accidentally wakes a sleep deprived Frasier and all Martian hell breaks loose. These two arrogant psychotherapists create the ultimate thinking-person's tv comedy. If you've never partaken...have a look-see.
