Moon in Virgo in the Twelfth 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 relaties, 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.

Moon in the 12th House:

The Moon in the 12th House placement indicates that you are drawn out from your emotional involvement at the personal level toward a more universal experience of emotion and caring. Having your Moon in the 12th House, you are called upon to rise above your own concerns and welfare and to lose yourself for the sake of others. This naturally brings to the fore the nurturing and caring functions that are symbolized by the Moon.

With your Moon in the 12th House, you may need to keep a balance between your own health and welfare and that of others, as you may have a tendency to “go overboard” in your concern for others and neglect your own personal needs. Sometimes, you may adopt a “mock martyr” attitude, using your self-sacrificing concern to inflict a “guilt trip” on the recipient of your care. Words like, “I’ve sacrificed so much for you, and this is the thanks I get” are typical of someone with their Moon in the 12th House. When you are balanced, however, one of your strengths may be your ability to be a caring, sensitive and nurturing individual.

Onzekerheden

As an individual with your Moon in the 12th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you are likely to fear that your ego-based personal self will disappear into oblivion. Your psyche tries to push this fear into your subconscious. Your subconscious is also trying to protect your ego from the pull of the unknown. By suppressing your existential fear, however, you create the conditions for deep neuroses to develop and take root in your subconscious.

Having your Moon in the 12th House, in defending your personal self from experiencing of the frightening unknown, you are likely to overcompensate and overemphasize the personal. You may seek to heighten your awareness of your personal self by “turning up the volume” on your feelings and emotions. With your Moon in the 12th House, you may also try to create a sense of security and self-importance by creating situations in which you becomes a care-provider to dependent others. You will tend to nurture these relationships in order to entrap the others involved, and hold onto their dependency. This may involve a good deal of deception on your part.

Focus van emotionele ontwikkeling

With your Moon in the 12th House, your emotional development often takes place quietly and almost imperceptibly, influenced by subtle and unseen forces. Your emotions are likely to develop in the direction of greater sensitivity. Your capacity for compassion is also likely to be developed to a greater extent than in most people. If, however, the forces influencing your emotional development are negative, growing fear and neuroticism may be the result. Having your Moon in the 12th House, the ultimate goal of your emotional development is that of self-transcendence.
