I used to be in a funk on Friday. I couldn’t focus, my thoughts was stressed, and I felt incapable of constructing a choice.
As somebody in my forties, this isn’t a wholly unfamiliar feeling! (If you realize you realize proper?!)
However as I ran by means of all the same old suspects – possibly I didn’t get sufficient sleep? Did I eat one thing humorous/completely different? What about hormones/my cycle? Have I simply been too busy of late? – I sensed that whereas a few of these elements may apply, there was one thing else within the combine too.
Lastly late within the day, I let my drained mind cease making an attempt to be productive and I ran a shower. As I acquired into the water, I felt my consciousness drop again into my physique. For the primary time that day, I discovered some calm as I felt my vitality settle.
From that (barely) extra balanced place, I began to run by means of the present astro to see what if any contribution that is likely to be making to my complete funk of a temper. This may simply be one thing that may very well be filed beneath #astrologerproblems – let me know if you happen to too are the identical?

It wasn’t only a Moon-in-Virgo vibe I used to be feeling, it was a Moon/South Node mixture which is a wholly completely different high quality of vitality. Now the tiredness, the worn-outness and particularly the dearth of psychological acuity made complete sense.
(To get extra technical, the Moon was transferring from an opposition to Saturn in Pisces in the direction of the conjunct with the South Node, a type of malefic enclosure, compromising the Moon (physique + temper) and compounding the weary, worn out, in efficient qualities.)
This was solely the second Moon + South Node in Virgo side for the reason that South Node moved into Virgo again in mid-January.
