The sign of Virgo stabilises the shifting effect of the Moon. Virgo is the sign of intelligence and practicality, which gives a sharp analytical bent to the Moon’s influence. If you have the Moon in Virgo you have a fine, discriminating mind. You do not pursue knowledge merely for the sake of learning; you figure out how to use what you learn. Emotionally timid and unobtrusive, you’d rather repress your emotions than articulate them. You find it difficult to confront seriοus issues. Instead, you distract yourself with minutiae or by working so hard you barely have a chance to breathe. You’re industrious and practical. You’re also fussy and hard to please. Without a doubt, you’re your own harshest critic. Where does this reprehensible quality come from? You guessed it — your mother (or whoever played that role in your life). Although her criticism, implicit or explicit, made an impact on you, she also deserves credit for several of your virtues, including the willingness to shoulder responsibility, the values you place on efficiency and organisation, and your altruistic desire to relieve the suffering of others. You may be inhibited, but that doesn’t mean you’re blind.
