Moon in Aries

It’s that time of the year.

An ad turned up on my Facebook page promoting an event entitled “Spring Detox and Declutter Workshop.” The focus is on detoxing your body, the use of herbs  and other nutrients to assist with liver function and digestive health, and dealing with food allergies and intolerances.

Fair enough.

Then I opened this months copy of a magazine I subscribe to find the following articles:

• What has protein done for you lately?
• The best ever chocolate cake- and it’s good for you
• Spring Clean your life
• Easy ways to overhaul your diet, shake up your routine and refresh your spirit
• How to land your ultimate fitness job?

And that’s just on the cover. Inside we also have:

• Superfoods you’ve never heard of
• Detox your supplies
• Run with a purpose
• How to keep your workout gear fresh and in great condition
• Revisit your life habits

Hmmmm. If I didn’t know better I’d think they had an astrologer on retainer, ready to edit the contents to match the astrological story for the month ahead…which of course, is Virgo.

Mercury is about to follow the Sun into Virgo, so the details of life, the tweaks that we need to make to habits or business, the little improvements in productivity and efficiencies that are possible…all of this is important right now. And, with the Moon in Aries, we can start this Virgo season with purpose and energy.

Don’t forget, we all have Virgo somewhere in our chart. It’s this area of life that, over the next month or so, will be under the microscope. You might see opportunities for improvement, or you might see flaws that aren’t really there.

Anyways, when you think about it, sometimes you’ve got to do a good spring clean of your home, garden, life, habits, wardrobe in order to make room, in order to see what’s underneath, in order to find what’s been lost.

I’ll leave that one with you…
