The waning Moon in Virgo and the current lunar day give us a chance to see not the ideal but the real flaws — our own and others'. This may be a time to accept what is hard and what we fear, and to separate the kernel of truth from excessive criticism. Try not to fixate on harsh judgments aimed at you: during this lunar phase others often see more clearly, and a useful remark can become a key to growth. It feels as if the Universe nudges us toward self-knowledge, helping uncover stumbling blocks and assess the situation soberly. The ideal is a practical, rational view of the world: letting go of sentimentality and needless worries that drain our energy, and directing that energy toward real action. On a lunar day it's especially beneficial to call the elders in your family — the conversation may bring support and clarity.
