Sharing some Big Virgo Wisdom coming through lately in my court and it feels so yummy to share this with you here in the Moon to Moon space. 

This phrasing for Virgo from Esoteric Astrology feels like such a rich zone for listening and healing alchemy right now. What does it mean to be both the "mother" and vessel shaper of ourselves, of our lives? What does it mean to also be the child of ourselves, of our lives? This is not an easeful zone for contemplation because most of us have such activation when it comes to what we've been served from systemically unskillful Virgo energy. Many of us have been on the receiving end of harsh Virgo - especially to ourselves! 

This is the zone of the Inner Critic so I understand that caregiving here is frightening to consider. 

I feel that right now we're being asked to release how we're thinking about something that's going on in our lives. And I offer this Mother / Child medicine of Virgo as a way in. 

Virgo invites us to attune to what's up. To learn from it. To adapt based on this new information. And then to refine as you go. 

Attune - Learn - Adapt - Refine... This is Virgo. 

This isn't always easeful for those of us afraid to really show up, unsure how we feel about inhabiting a body here on the planet, afraid we'll do it wrong if we try, worried we can't trust ourselves to show up the way we might want to, convinced it's easier to just not have a refining process or a practice. 

My invitation is to gently start where you are and sit with what comes up to be witnessed and released as you listen here and live with what lands. 

In the episode, I also offer this tarot spread for you. It's 6 cards in a pyramid shape: 

TOP

1 card: What is the situation? This refers to whatever part of your life where you sense you're learning the most because you're being challenged to learn and adapt: a relationship, some aspect of your work, a way you're approaching something. 

MIDDLE

2 cards: Left: How am I the mother of this situation? Right: How am I the child? 

BOTTOM

3 cards: Left: What does Mercury want me to remember? Middle: What does Mercury want me to release? Right: What else do I need to know? 

Enjoy! Let me know how it goes. Tag me if you share! 

For sure the "situation" in my field right now is learning how to be the co-mother and the child of Astrology as Praxis. It's expanding and challenging who I think I am in radical, unforeseen ways.
