What Does the Last Quarter Moon in Virgo Reflect?

Last-quarter Moon in Virgo: an impossible standard is ready to be set down. The invitation is to forgive yourself for what was never yours to perfect.

While the last-quarter Moon moves through Virgo, the emotional tone of these days turns toward releasing an impossible standard. A way of measuring your worth by how well you perform may be ready to be set down. Letting go here means forgiving yourself for what was never yours to control or perfect.

The gift of this moment is merciful release. The tension is clinging to the critic because it feels like it keeps you safe. Let yourself put down the measuring stick, and let one act of self-forgiveness free the tenderness that endless self-correction has been holding hostage.
