It's a restless, action-oriented Half Moon in Virgo today, making a propulsive square to the on-the-go Sagittarius Sun. This brings together busy mutable energies at the waning Moon. These two signs are a meeting of the broadest vision (Sagittarius), with a focus on the practical minutia (Virgo). It reminds me of packing for a trip, when you've got to take special care with your "to-do" list, even as you're breathless about your travels.
In her daily tip, Stephanie Gailing of Planetary Apothecary writes about this Moon-Sun square from a Buddhist perspective. That when we gain Sagittarian knowledge that widens our world, we bring that to our daily life (Virgo). It makes the same old chores richer. We find the beauty in the small. She writes, "So today, see how you can find significance in everything you do and how each moment can truly lead to understanding, self-awareness, and a greater sense of enlightenment. Even the laundry."
Some possible "things to do":
- Take books back to the library.
- Catch up on long-distance correspondence.
- Take a yoga class.
- Actively de-clutter and clean.
- Shop for hand-made gifts.
- Make your own gifts.
- Go for a vigorous walk or run.
- Tend to your pets.
