Bear in mind that other things in your chart are very important to get a more accurate picture of your emotional and instinctual self, such as Mercury’s placement in your chart.

Personality
Moon in Virgo, you are patient and dependable. The moon gives us our instinctual nature – Virgo being a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, indicates that you seek stability and meeting your needs through fine-tuning and bringing order to yourself and the world around you to achieve inner and outer peace.
The Moon also shows us how we deal with emotions – analytic and rational approaches appeal to you. Your instincts are to always maintain your integrity. Let’s be honest though, if your emotional needs are not satisfied in the perfect way you imagine (it rarely is) you can be nit-picking or quite critical.
On the upside you can be emotionally quite collected, stable and supportive to the people around you. You like to feel helpful and useful. And you are open to discussing your emotions verbally (mercury ruled). Heightened stress can cause you to show a more fussy side of yourself, you can become overly critical of yourself and others, which can lead to further problems.
It can be somewhat difficult to stop constantly worrying about what could go wrong, and if you let the worry spin out of control you can become downright gloomy and depressed. Avoid emotional clutter, you are patient, so create a routine that keeps your soul healthy. To avoid anxiety and neuroticism interfering with what is truly important to you, you can look towards a more spiritual approach – one that you feel comfortable with.
Alternatively contact with nature, gardening or building things with your hands are great for you. Other techniques that can help you to keep your emotions healthy – meditation, breathwork, regular sleep patterns.
At Work
Moon in Virgo above all you need an environment that offers you security and stability. You have a practical side to you, and can bring the patience to watch things slowly developing. As an employee you are trustworthy and dependable and you thrive at jobs that need a calm, rational and critical approach.
You might dislike fast paced environments, as they create a sense of anxiousness and worry. However, if you can handle it you become an asset to the team as you can often spot problems and areas for improvement that others might miss.
Freelancing might feel uncomfortable to you, because of the lack of security and the dangers of getting lost in all the details. You also might tend to undervalue yourself and not feel good enough in your work.
As you, yourself are your own worst critic, you fear others will treat you the same way and are afraid of potential criticism, worrying about how others will receive your work. Remember your standards are extremely high and others will probably appreciate your work.
You have quite a patience for working on all the details necessary and managing responsibility. There is a risk with your tendency to obsess about details that you lose sight of the bigger picture. You are likely to improve efficiency by realising when something is good enough even if it isn’t perfect. However, you are an excellent trouble shooter, because you like helping out and because you are good at noticing things others don’t.
You remain calm for hours when looking for the problem and feel happiness after fixing whatever is malfunctioning. This comes in handy for professions that require editing and proofreading skills. Writing or teaching can also make good use of your intellectual prowess.
Your love of resolving problems and desire to keep things running smoothly also extends to health, be it your own or others. Combined with your instinct to want to be of service, medical professions are quite suitable. Perhaps more aligned with more natural approaches, such as physiotherapy or nutrition, but not necessarily.
If the rest of the chart supports it, you might have a real eye for details, combined with your patience could indicate some creative avenues where you aim for perfection of artistic vision. Otherwise that might make you interested in assisting others (secretaries,…), writing or teaching.
Romance
Virgo Moon – you can be friendly and chatty but you need time to let your partner in, to feel secure with them. You prefer stable and peaceful long term relationships. Moreover you like to show your love in a practical way – providing help and doing things for your significant other. You like to feel needed by your partner, to be useful to them. You show your love by showing up every day, sunshine or rain, joy or bad moods, you are a dependable and reliable companion.
A partner that offers you a steady pace and functions as an anchor in a world of earthquakes is great for you. One that is capable of showing you love through nurture and is willing to construct the relationship over time with a steady pace.
There are a couple of things that can be more difficult in the relationship. One of them is balance – on one side you can yield to pressure without complaining, even though it might be for a good reason, it might be better to speak up sometimes. Especially because you can otherwise become somewhat nagging, critical and impatient with the partner. This can lead to judgment and quick reactions on both sides. So to avoid those dynamics learn to talk to each other honestly, with acceptance and find ways to express your needs without criticizing.
You like detail, which is great, but don’t always read too much into things, sometimes there is nothing more to your partner saying “I feel exhausted and need time for myself” than a bad workday. If your partner makes a mistake don’t get bogged down on it.
And talking some more about detail – some of you might tend to be picky and not really easy to satisfy, and while high standards are great, make sure you keep your demands towards your partner reasonable.
And last but not least – do not become your worst enemy in your relationship – do not torture yourself emotionally with self-criticism and feelings of being insufficient – this might stop you from expressing your love freely. You are a kind and loving person – so express it openly, it will be appreciated.
Stay witty, stay helpful and see you soon!
