First Quarter Moon in Virgo

Stop, breathe and take stock. Perhaps you've taken on too much? Now is the time to be reliable and practical. Laziness is your enemy. Also, don't be too influenced by 'the crowd' and what they're saying. Do you still want what you used to want, and as much? If so, are you really doing what needs to be done to make your dreams real? Express how you feel, but do it without too much self-criticism or criticism of others. Make an honest inventory about where you could do more to manifest your dreams.

The energies at play here are a mix of flirtatious and shy, enquiring and hesitant. You need to work them in your favour.

This card asks you to be mentally flexible. Whatever challenges you face, your current situation is unlikely to be at a total impasse.

The Throat chakra (Vishuddha) helps you to express yourself, your desires, and whether you need more time to think about something. It's located at the base of the throat and is a beautiful sky blue colour. Visualize a column of the purest sky blue light pouring down over you as you hold the card to the base of your throat, and call in the energies with these words: 'Energies of the First Quarter Moon in Virgo, thank you for helping me towards clarity and confidence!'

The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Virgo, on a Wednesday (Mercury's day) or during Mercury's hour. The First Quarter Moon in Virgo takes place when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon is in Virgo. It knows that it's never too late to change your way of thinking.
