Whilst the Moon is still in Virgo…until 11.32 Tues in Australia, 0.32 Tues in London, 19.32 Monday night in New York & 16.32 in L.A….take some time to actually note down and analyze your Full Moon in Virgo findings.

Virgoan wisdom only counts when it’s put in a list & assessed. It’s not nebulous. And, given the recent astro-weirding, you should have some sort of sagacious info to carefully observe.

Look, we all know how difficult it is to buy presents for Virgos. A Virgoan trying to gift another Virgoan is a study in anxiety and neurotic nit-pickery: Too itchy, too cheap, too costly, too synthetic, not sending out the right message, too naff, too trendy, not quite right so right after my hyperventilating flip out in the mall lavatory, we’ll go spend another four hours getting the Right Gift and no, a voucher is never acceptable.

So all hail the Detectair: ideal for a chic hypochondriac, trend-aware Virgo of either gender.

YES.  Read on and see if you agree -

“…the Detectair vest contains sensors that detect the ambient air quality and displays the data on the garment itself by illuminating a pattern of embedded LEDs across the chest

The LEDs visualize an individual’s quality of breathing based on the toxicity levels in the air. Small vibrators alert the wearer when they have entered into a dangerous and unhealthy environment.

…The collar itself  functions as a protective mechanism akin to a medical/dust mask. In an unhealthy atmosphere, the wearer can shield her face/mouth by pulling the collar around the neck and face.”

Right.  At first I thought, this being a luxe bag-ad, that they were both gazing at the bag. Then I thought that maybe they’d just had a massive rowl and it had to do with something IN the bag. She looks like she’d maybe be fine if he took off but heaven-help anyone who gets between her and that bag. This fits because the bag is supposed to be madly desirable object of extreme must-havery nympho accessory lust. I get that.

But then i realised that obviously SHE IS A VIRGO. And they are on holidays. She is a Virgo who is totally freaking out. WHAT is she staring at? A crack on a tile? A crumb on the bed? A picture that has been hung so that it tilts a millimetre to the left? The mole on the chin of the person who showed them into their room? His tawdry luggage? The synthetic quilt that she has just flung off the bed in disgust? It could be anything.

And what sign is HE? Her lusty Gemini gardener? Spunky Sagg about to make an athletic exit through that window? Or is he ANOTHER Virgo? So they are Virgoans holidaying together in Tuscany and he’s only just told her that his biro leaked all over the lining of that bag.  She’s totally sulking and he seems to be thinking, although it’s hard to tell with models.

Happy New Moon in Virgo conjunct Saturn!

How awesome is this??? The chipper, witty, chic & plucky vibe of our Virgo aligned with super-Saturn. This is so not a Zen Sloth weekend. Brilliant for making zesty Virg0-style resolutions & zooming forward in (organised) style post-Pluto Direct, Saturn Opposite Uranus and all that. Amazing for health jagging, admin & transformative details magic.

The Virgo “flowers” are the tenacious & druid-favoured Ivy along with the mighty Oak.

Their gemstone is the Sapphire, said from ancient times to protect the wearer against impure thoughts -notably Lust & Envy…

d5125069lDiamond & Sapphire Jellyfish Brooch…

This brooch is about $80,000 – Jasper – the other Virgoan gemstone – is way more affordable & even more magic. It’s mythological repute is that it is the ‘Christ-Stone’. Jasper wards off feelings of lethargy (the over-scheduled & hypochondriac Virgoans nightmare) and promotes Self-Respect.

And Virgos are ruled by fleet Mercury aka Hermes aka Thoth – the Messenger of the Gods, mediatrix between the different worlds and bestower of the wit, eloquence and analytical skills for which our Virgo is so justly renowned. Do you know, i have NEVER met a thick or tacky Virgo.

And of course, the Sun is now in Virgo until September 23 so note a surge in your observational powers, discriminating tendencies and neat-freakery. I suddenly noticed a plug situation last night – completely minor and most likely as it always has been but i became obsessed with it’s cleanliness & potential hygiene ramifications. Other Virgoan outbreaks could be wardrobe perfection initiatives – ie; suddenly noticing and flipping over miniscule stains or areas of thread-bareness.

Imagine being a Virgoan ALL the time so this would be your consciousness perpetually. Suave but alert and  having to exert self-control not to be disturbed by lack of logical order.

The great thing is that the Sun Rises in Virgo at dawn each morning so for the next month it is manifestly more easy to spring out of bed in full Virgoan details-crisis = opportunity mode AND stick to vaguely healthy diets + not wig out over administrivia. T’is true so make the most of it…

.Once the Saturn-Uranus opposition passes & a few other little treats, we are going to have the Sun into Libra & months on end of Mars in Leo…There will be no diets or admin just gourmet living, scenes aplenty,  lusty appetites and showy love affairs with a who-gives-a-fuq for sanity or convention style attitude.

So i am calling this Virgo Moon – now and Saturday no matter where you are in the world – our 2nd chance Moon. Oh you may have strayed from the path of righteousness and that new nutritional regime is but a haute concept BUT this is the lunar vibe of spick, span and seriously on-track for all your Better Living schemes. Health, Efficiency and devising clever new routines for everything from skincare to taxes are YOU. Enjoy the 2nd Chance Moon….

And if you are in the Northern Territory of Australia, I will be on their ABC Radio this morning, raving on for a whole hour! Apparently I even get to do talkback which i LOVE.

Kicked out of the Book Club for trashing it and/or scared off by the Capricorn Zombie…

…the mild-in-manner but wild-within Virgoan Seeker of the truth continues to work through the transit of Saturn via a variety of artistic pursuits. This time, trashing the art studio.

Yes, Virgoans have HAD IT with Saturn in their sign. It’s full on enough being St Virgo and having to answer the sodding phone, deal with everyone’s merde 24-7, be the only person who actually keeps stupid warranties, ensures the petrol tank is full, correct pronounciation and be observant to the point that it would be an official disorder in any other sign of the Zodiac.

What Virgoans Want Now: An isolation tank. A vacation from being a Virgo for one day. To walk around in a synthetic velour tracksuit in an inappropriate colour with naff fingernails, swearing and/or smoking. To have Saturn taken out by a team of studly astronaut superheroes. To have someone discover the jellybean and chardonnay diet that works. To have the part of the brain that engenders GUILT zapped into inactivity by a trendy laser that also gives a non-martyred glow to the complexion. A maid, like Michelle Pfieffer has in Cheri, to run baths and listen attentively as the Virgo grumbles. To have an art studio where they can fling paint around with abandon, trash it when their clever colour blending turns to greige and walk out leaving someone like a LEO to clean up their mess.

What Virgoans Should Know: There are only 87 more days until Saturn goes into Libra….

How’s this for a Virgo Moon Frugal Skincare Tip…I just got – for $10 – a silk facecloth. This one pictured above is from the place that makes my fave soap – and with Moon in Libra, I am super-fussy re soap. But I got my silk facecloth from Pure Botanicals & even though i had never thought of silk as being some sort of brilliant facecloth,  it actually is. It feels smooth and not at all exfoliating, yet it leaves one’s skin looking polished. So simple, so cheap, so effective, so pure, so VIRGO…

Does anyone else know about these? Apparently it is something to do with enzymes…And Merry Moon in Virgo…For a good time, compulsive clean. Yourself, your house, your cat, your undies drawer…Fab for writing & vitamins as well. I am thinking that a high quality facial cleansing soap + silk facecloth is SO in. That and scrubbing one’s nail varnish free with a nail brush + buffing with an old-fash chamois buffer thingie. Although…important eco-vegan point here…is not chamois made via some ghastly method???

Bee symbolism is sensational. Run a search on bee symbolism or goddess & see how weird & beautiful they are: I have found an ancient Minoan bee goddess, that they are linked to Aphrodite as hives are hexagonal (like a pentagram, the orbit of Venus) on the inside, the esoteric origins of the Queen Bee…

Oh and Napoleon was bee-mad, had bees on his scent flagons, embroidered on his silk dressing gowns & some say the Fleur de Lys is linked to bee symbolism.

Bee crop circles. Bee everything. Some say bees navigate via tiny crystals embedded (naturally) in their brain. Is this true or did I dream it?
This freemason article starts out quite dry and then gets fascinating.

This one is less scholarly, blatantly wiccan

And, a brief scientific fact, the promiscuity of the Queen Bee ensures the safety and health of the whole hive.

I think maybe Virgo could benefit from the Bee as their symbol…?

And – I really have to stop researching bee-ology soon – the names Melissa and Deborah are linked to ancient bee priestesses. Melissa means Queen Bee…I am also taking bee pollen as apparently is like super-food of nature. It is totally the nicest supplement i have ever tasted.

And this quick-to-read New Yorker piece by Noah Baumbach is absolutely hilarious:  Buzzed
