PAYING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF Daily Astrology Wed 7th Oct The Moon is in Virgo for a couple of days. So pay attention to what you put into your system. Virgo is a sensitive sign that rules the digestion of both food and experience. It can handle a measure of junk food - who doesn't enjoy a BigMac occasionally - but you will feel out of sorts, or not as bright and healthy as you might, if you do not listen to what the Moon is telling you. We can hurtle from meal to meal, or activity to activity, in a habitual way, without stopping and listening and asking ourselves if we really want to eat that sandwich, or hang out with those people. We don't usually listen, full stop. But if you do, you'll find you have much more inner knowing and subtlety than you thought. No need for self-help books. It's all there in you. Virgo is known for being renunciative and therefore a bit dry, but this is not true: there is an inner joy to be found when we give our system the attention and space to digest that it needs. The Moon is also in square to Uranus in Gemini today. That will give you the space to stand back and look, and draw some surprising conclusions. A good day for gaining insight into the emotional realities behind your eating and drinking habits. Virgo is a nature goddess. Bring her tenderness and love to the bits of you that aren't so happy. That is what they really want and need, rather than the self-medication, as we euphemistically term our turning away from ourselves. The dementors will sort themselves with that kind of attention. It is in this way that Virgo is a sign of healing.
