I think Virgo Moons and Cap Moons deal with things in a similar fashion. Whenever I get upset I just stuff...and then turn to work. And work my happy butt off and appear like everything is fine and then suddenly burst with emotion.

Also with situational anxiety like visiting stranger places or going with my dad I couldn't eat sometimes for literally days, and then I would start dry heaving due to lack of food. I went through a lot of these nasty spells and it scared people. Of course no one knew it was anxiety since my family has a mean emotional IQ of a pet rock...

I think Virgo is a difficult placement for the Moon, because we are ULTRA sensitive and personalizing people. Our emotions are very gentle, attentive, particular, and nervous (not in the sense of being scared, but in the sense of when you get chills or goosebumps).

With Virgo Moon, there is no off switch. It is 100% emotional data overload all the time. And the path to being comfortable with ones feelings can feel a bit like getting used to wearing a sandpaper suit. It can also be a difficult placement because Virgo is a fix-it sign and emotions are not really "fixable". Where Virgo classifies any unpleasant emotion as "needing to be made better", her opposite Pisces knows fully well that emotions are intended to be endured and experienced, not fixed. Having a Virgo Moon can occasionally feel like walking around under a cloud of defeat, because the moment an emotion is dealt with, 4 new ones pop up in its place. We are emotionally invested in being productive and when emotions continue to arise, there is no sort of accomplishment for one's productivity.

Of course the trick is learning to train the self to see emotional experiences as not flawed, but useful and essential to one's nourishment. The first step for me was learning how to recognize when I was emotionally unhealthy. A big factor for me is diet (my Moon is also in the 6th house). Eating healthy and living in an emotionally healthy environment do wonderful things for my stomach AND my emotions. When my stomach starts to hurt, I have learned to run through a checklist of possible problems until I find what needs to be dealt with.

1. Am I eating healthy (lol number 1)?
2. Do I feel happy in my home?
3. Do I feel happy with work?
4. Am I in the middle of a disagreement or struggle with another person?
5. Am I excited about a specific topic or idea and though my mind is finished thinking about it, my emotions are still rolling the idea around?

Usually this list helps me pin-point the arena of the problem. Then I think the most important thing for me was learning to rationalize emotions in a healthy way. If the problem is something I can't fix in the moment (like a disagreement with another person or anticipation of an event) I sit myself down and explain to myself that worrying about it now will not do anything but harm my health. I then agree to let the issue go after promising to deal with the issue once I am capable of doing so. Then I drink a cap full of Braags Apple Cider Vinegar and it fixes my stomach LOL

Getting into the habit of recognizing when I am anxious, scanning my self for an issue, and reminding my self that I am harming my own health by mismanaging emotions, has been very helpful. I also make a point of privately watching movies or reading books which inspire me to cry, feel triumph, or experience compassion. It helps me clear out the places I may have missed. Finally, I find it important to work on projects where I can maintain a steady feeling of accomplishment. It helps me not turn that need to accomplish (or fix) on myself or others. I recently took up gardening and so far it has been a really awesome channel for my emotional energies.

For me, I find if I don't protect my emotions, their super-sensitivity will result in ridiculous responses. Just as a person observes communicative protocol and filters their words in certain situations, so too is it appropriate for Moon in Virgo to filter their emotions. The trick, I believe is learning not to neglect or micromanage that process.

If you are reading Benedict Moon, I miss you.

My best friend has a Virgo Moon, as well as another really good friend of mine. What I've observed is that Moon in Virgo people subconsciously worry about the propriety of their emotional responses. I've found that they tend to be really influenced by what's going on in their environment and respond in that manner. Every sign kind of mirrors it opposite. So, while Pisces Moon tends to absorb its environment's feelings Virgo Moon tends to conform and adapt emotionally to the environment. Virgo Moon is just as easily influenced as Pisces Moon (all the Mutable signs are) but in a different way.

But I tend to really like Virgo Moons. It's one of my favorite lunar placements. My best friend and I get along so amazingly well (but we have an unusually positive synastry chart). He's smart and witty and can be helpful and sensitive in his own way (although he also has a Cancer Venus). He's not stereotypically anal but he does operate on his own little schedule (like me in some ways) and is really disciplined about his health and exercise.

The Virgo moon is a very interesting moon to observe.It is not as cold as the Capricorn moon, but not nearly as passionate as the Taurus either.

Someone said something about this moon being unable to express emotions that are "not good".

And that Virgo is a sign that likes to fix things and the trick is , with emotions, its not always easy to just "fix" them, so the result is that they get suppressed, ignored or are boxed somewhere where they later come up(often in inappropriate times).

This reminded me of an Aries friend of mine who has his moon in Virgo and Asc in Leo. often times he believes that he is projecting this cool, calm, collected demeanour and prides himself on that.

And then,when something upsetting happens to him, you see his Aries sun just burst and then the emnbarrassed Virgo moon come soon after to do damage control and restore order. I find it quite weird to observe. And it is always so consistant.

The other one has their sun in cool but paradoxical Gemini. He never wants to express how angry he is, let alone get involved in "embarrassing" public arguments. There is always a place and time to sort out issues and he will delay/postpone any confrontation until such time. His Asc in Virgo conjuncts his moon closely and so he behaves like an air conditioner on steroids.Coooool!

But, suddenly, he once broke down in tears over something I said. I immediately apologized and couldn't understand what was happening; I had ****** him off many times before and the outcome was always cool indifference.In this instance, however, the tears flowed heavily.

The day afterwards, he didn' Want to talk about it; didn't want to acknowledge it even happened and said that its best left in the past because it was "inappropriate" behavior on his part(this despite me telling him that it was okay to express his feelings).

And we haven't talked of it since.lol

Oddly enough, though Virgo is said to box emotions, I tend to get on better with Virgo moon than Taurus and Capricorn moon signs. This despite Cancer being "very emotional".

Most of my lovers have had this position.

I also feel a lot of compassion for people with Virgo Moons because it's such a challenge for them to open up and based on the men I've known, they really want to express feelings but they don't seem to intrinsically know how to do that without a lot of fear coming up and then, of course, The Wall.
