The Virgin’s Hangover

If the nitpicking, judgey-ness or finger pointing of the last few days is now seriously getting on your tits, you are still mired in the hangover of the Virgo full moon. The potential of its earthy balm and superpowered ability to at once declutter, order and streamline our life is unsurpassed. That's the high side well worth tapping into.

Equally powerful though is her critical shadow self. She who leaves us mired in judgement or blame of ourselves or others (or both). She who looks about her world finding only flaws and gaps and problems. She who lets frustration and imperfection ruin it all and resolves to hurl the baby out with the bathwater. When Virgoan energy is powerfully about us, we have to be ultra vigilant with our inner critic and how much oxygen we give her lest she wrestle control from our everlovin' grip.

Not today, Buttercup.

Enter an almost two and a half day pit stop for Lady Lune in Libra. Under such sweetly scented skies we can recalibrate and come back once more to the middle. Libra craves harmony, cultivates diplomacy, seeks beauty and understanding and connection. Drinking deeply of this medicine goes a long way to dulling the ache of being too hard on ourself or others. It plumps us back up if we are willing to pull our focus away from the flaws inherent and choose instead to see the beauty in all things.

So uncurl your lips and pull the back of your hand away from your forehead. Reel that index finger back in - you will find it so much easier to get the gloves off. Look about you and let your senses rest on something, anything that delights your gaze. Repeat until the balance tips.

Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it.
~ Confucius
