Moon in Virgo in the Seventh House

In the Moon in Virgo placement, the sign of Virgo stabilizes the shifting effect of the Moon. Virgo is the sign of intelligence and practicality, which gives a sharp analytical bent to the Moon’s influence. If you have the Moon in Virgo you have a fine, discriminating mind. You do not pursue knowledge merely for the sake of learning; you figure out how to use what you learn. Your immediate reaction to the sense-impressions you receive from the world around you is to analyze what you have just seen and heard. Having your Moon in Virgo, you are meticulous in sifting through information and you tend to question whatever is told to you. Moon in Virgo individuals are sometimes so skeptical they don’t even believe in what they see with their own eyes. You love to discuss ideas and probe into opinions held by others, though you yourself hold fast to preconceived notions. You are not so stubborn, though, that you will hold on to a theory once the facts prove you wrong. With a Moon in Virgo, you are a seeker of truth, and you believe truth is what is left after falsehoods have been exposed.

Having your Moon in Virgo, no one would call you a Pollyanna or the kind who looks at the world through rose-colored glasses. It’s not that you are dour or pessimistic, it’s just that you deal with life as it is. This practical realism makes you good at business and at handling money. With your Moon in Virgo, your eye is on the long-term profit rather than immediate gain, and you are concerned with security and providing for your old age.

As a Moon in Virgo individual you bring an extra touch of perfectionism and professionalism to everything you do. Methodical in your approach to problems, you figure out exactly what needs to be done and then tackle the issue a step at a time. But you have a tendency to worry, to fret over the things that might go wrong and try to cover all contingencies. Having your Moon in Virgo, you think that too much good work is ruined by the lack of just a little more effort, so you don’t spare yourself and are often fussy and critical with others.

With your Moon in Virgo, logic is the discipline you live by, and you find it frustrating to deal with minds that are illogical or scatterbrained. You think such people belong in Disneyland, not in the real world. Discriminating in the people you choose for friends, you are also selective about the cultural activities you take part in. For the Moon in Virgo, there is a certain judgmental quality that you bring to almost any situation. No experience washes over you aimlessly; you always learn a lesson from it.

Moon in Virgo women are sometimes thought of as unfeminine because they are usually so efficient, thorough, and well organized – qualities that most people don’t associate with the word “feminine.” Both male and female Moon in Virgo individuals are reserved and shrink from sentimentality or gushiness, and therefore are often perceived as cold. In truth, the less developed types who pick other people apart and exhibit a stingy pettiness are cold. Generally, however, Moon in Virgo individuals are caring and giving in practical ways; one can count on them. Virgo is the sign of service, and a Moon in Virgo wants to be useful to others.

In matters of love, Moon in Virgo individuals don’t have a lot of self-confidence. One might think that the ideal mate for you would be someone intelligent, logical, nice looking, and neat, but how many can marry a clone? Actually, you are attracted to people who are quite unlike you – more emotional and effusive, less calculating, more readily able to express their feelings. In love relationships, Moon in Virgo individuals take on the role of a critical but caring parent. Unconsciously, a Moon in Virgo is afraid of anger and feeling vulnerable, and tend to live in the illusion that their love lives are calm, stable, and under control.

The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.

Moon in the 7th House:

With your Moon in the 7th House, you can usually develop and express your emotional, subconscious in relative security, if you have a trusting relationship. You are likely to experience an emotional fullness in your relationships. This is generally positive unless you are emotionally needy or emotionally irrational.

Having your Moon in the 7th House, assuming you are engaged in a positive relationship, this is an excellent venue for working out your emotional and behavioral/conditioned problems and attitudes. The Moon in the 7th House also may signify that you bring an intuitive, nurturing, and responsive energy to you relationships. However, with your Moon in the 7th House, you face the danger that in being too attentive and bound to the needs of others, you may become too reliant on others. You may also be susceptible to being conditioned or emotionally influenced by those with whom you have close relationships.

With your Moon in the 7th House, when you learn that your partner’s emotional needs are as important and valid as your own, you then strive to fully develop your emotional side in order to both share this with your partner and to be more sensitive to and responsive to your partner. This, of course, flavors all of your interpersonal contacts. Consequently, the impression that you make on others is of someone who has a warm, caring and open personality. This is an impression which is conveyed by the genuine nurturing and caring attitude that you have for others. With your Moon in the 7th House, you have a “sixth sense” that responds to others’ needs and creates a subconscious or emotional bond in your interpersonal dealings.

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 7th House, if you do not have a well defined sense of your own self, you will be unduly subject to the influences of others. The Moon symbolizes an open window into the world of the subconscious. When that window is placed in the 7th House, it allows all sorts of influences to enter your subconscious and to become implanted  there to condition your behavior. You may feel that your own emotions lack validity. This results in you being ruled by the emotions of others. You respond to others without discrimination and, thus, become vulnerable to their exploitation.

With your Moon in the 7th House, as an overcompensating defense mechanism, you may try to impose your emotions and behaviors on others. You may try to control others or impose tradition-based behaviors on others – the stereotypical over-mothering attitude. Others may also perceive you to be emotionally aggressive, as you let loose your irrational side in typical “gargoyle” fashion.

Focus of Emotional Development

As an individual with your Moon in the 7th House, you feel those emotions that are symbolized by the Moon mostly through your relationships. You may bounce your emotions off your partner and discover your own emotional world by seeing it reflected in others. Your relationships become the venue for developing your emotional life. You generally are quite sensitive to the emotional states of others and youeasily respond to emotional stimuli.  This may result in an enhanced capacity for emotional bounding or you may psychically invite emotional dumping by others. With your Moon in the 7th House, there is a danger that your emotional life and development will be dominated by others.
