Virgo is a mutable earth sign ruled by Mercury, linked in the tradition with daily routines, work, skill and careful attention to detail. Pisces opposite brings imagination, rest and surrender. Astrologers treat lunar eclipses as stronger than ordinary full moons, and an eclipse near the south node is often read as a time of release, letting go of habits that no longer serve. A practical idea: clear one cluttered corner of your routine.
