VIRGO – The Full Moon of Discrimination and Purification

You know those stray socks you've been collecting hoping their match will show up? ...it might be time to let them go. The next two weeks are the perfect time to assess where you are ready to purge with the Full Moon in Virgo and the Hand Analysis approach to Holistic Organization.

============================================

Full Moon in Virgo - August 28, 2007, 3:35 am PDT

At harvest time, the wheat is separated from the chaff. That which is valuable is put to one side and that which has served its function but is no longer needed is put to another. This Virgo Full Moon period is a time to examine our lives for our metaphorical wheat and chaff, discarding what has outlived its use and celebrating that which has grown golden and ripe.

Our Leo month was one of expression and identity. Hopefully, we began to explore the courage to create. Something delicious and creative might even be underway. The Virgo full moon is a time to hold our creative work to the task -- to put it through the threshing machine, if you will. What needs to be refined, purified, edited or stream lined? It might be a creative project. It might be your house. It might be YOU.

From a Hand Analysis perspective, about a year ago, Lynn naturally began to develop an approach to Life Organization and included it in her list of services. Here are the Life Organization principles:

You should be seduced by your living environment.
So, when you enter your home it's as though
two arms are outstretched to receive you.

Your office environment should support and stimulate you
to create fulfilling and rewarding work.

Your closet has a floor -- and you have the ability to find it.

People let go of things when -- and only when -- they are ready. Some people respond well to shock-treatment clutter purging. Some people let go in phases. Honor the way that best supports you.

Take advantage of the net two weeks to turn inward and ask yourself, “Where am I willing to let go?” Now is the time for assessment. You may be surprised at what your wise inner voice tells you.

From an astrological perspective, the beauty of letting go in Virgo is that it clears the way for new work. After we look at ourselves, our living situations and our creative work with scrutiny and discrimination, we can lay the path for joyous new commitment. We can actually SEE the new work through the clutter.

So, do you want to get back to the gym? Eat better? Purify your THOUGHTS? Edit your novel? Clean your house? Use this Virgo Full Moon to envision the great cleanse. It's like preparing the space for an honored guest. Make the space beautiful and it will be inhabited with sweetness.

Also -- single socks are great for dusting… and puppetry.

One additional note: This full moon is also the time of a Lunar eclipse at 5 degrees Virgo. This eclipse highlights Virgo energy for the next six months particularly for those of you with strong Virgo in your astrological chart (and planets near 5 degrees Virgo or Pisces).

We put the cleansing and purifying energy of Virgo into action with the New Moon and Hand Analysis skill set of creating Success on September 11th.
