Week of 2.22.16
The Virgo Full Moon: Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness
That’s literally speaking. Pragmatic Virgo has no time for metaphors. Remember that Zen proverb “before enlightenment chop wood, carry water; after enlightenment chop, wood carry water?” Virgo firmly believes you could have an epiphany while scrubbing the tub.
Monday’s Full Moon in this meticulous sign brings out the anal compulsive side in all of us, intensifying an urge to purge, disinfect and clean up our acts, particularly in the areas of health and work. Trust this highly discriminating, “au natural” Full Moon to illuminate what you need to eliminate. On the fitness front, that might mean ditching the toxins, like sugar and caffeine, or switching the pharmaceuticals for holistic alternatives. On the work front, Virgo encourages steering clear of toxic personalities, draining situations and long hours.
The Virgo Moon continues on Tuesday, making this another busy and productive day. If you’ve been struggling with a project or task, take advantage of Virgo’s analytical acumen and troubleshooting abilities. You might just uncover a crucial detail that could resolve the problem and bring the project to a successful conclusion.
For those of us in the Eastern Time zone, the Moon will be Void most of the work day Wednesday. Avoid making important calls/meetings/purchases during this time. This would be a good day to just coast, stick with routine tasks and tie up loose ends.
Charm Offensive?
Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? But with a convivial Libra Moon, fraternizing with sociable Venus and enterprising Saturn, Thursday is ideal for mixing business with pleasure and using charm to your strategic advantage. Collaborate with colleagues; take a client to lunch; attend a conference or business-related meet-and-greet. This genial vibe affords you a chance to do some serious networking and leave a long-lasting, favorable impression.
The amiable mood extends into Thursday evening, making it the best night this week night for getting-together with close friends and/or having a night on the town. Stay out late! Enjoy yourself! The Moon will be Void the whole day Friday, making it unlikely that anything of great importance will get done. If, however, you have business to take care of on Friday that can’t wait, make sure to check out the dos and don’ts of the Void Moon here.
WEEKEND FORECAST
Looking for the perfect time to bond with that special someone? This is the weekend you’ve been waiting for, as we get two full days of the Moon in sexy, passionate Scorpio. Usually, Scorpio Moons come with warning labels. But this one, making nice with both the hot Sun and dreamy Neptune, gives a green light for love and romance. Just perfect for a close encounter of the most intense kind!
