VIRGO FULL MOON
On Saturday, February 24, 2024, we will experience the final Full Moon of the “Astrological” Year, in the Mutable-Earth sign of Virgo, at 5* (the 2nd of 3 at this degree) and it will peak at 7:30 am EST (adjust for your Time Zone). It will be a micromoon (smallest moon of the year), as it is the farthest from earth (apogee) in its orbit.
It is, also, known as the Snow Moon according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac..
At a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are ALWAYS in opposition, highlighting the half-way point in the moon’s 8 monthly cycles.This Lunation falls along , the Pisces (Sun) - Virgo (Moon) axis.
The Sun illuminates the Moon and brings into consciousness those areas buried, hidden or ignored, shining a light on them, for: culmination, closure and completion, It’s all about releasing those things that no longer serve our highest and greatest good.
The focus is on Health and Well-Being during this Virgo Full Moon. . . Healing old wounds that no longer serve you and hold you back from being your best self and living your best life.
Virgo teaches us that we all have come into this world with lessons to learn and gifts/talents to share; however, we have to recognize them and in order to do this we must, firstly, heal any wounds that might be holding us back.
Aligning with Virgo’s lower frequency (shadow), perfection is the motivating energy, stemming from the wounds of not feeling worthy * self-doubt * anxiety: an overcomposition in the need for control. While there are many things in our lives that we must control, we are not in control of everything. Life happens in spite of us. It’s a combination of Free Will and Fate.
The Stars Impel - They do NOT Compel!
Life is meant to be Lived, NOT controlled. It gives and it takes away, like the ebb and flow of the ocean waters.
There is no such thing as Perfection; Only Perfect Moments!
Through the acceptance of our imperfections, we allow ourselves to show up in the world. Mistakes are part of learning and growing. When we don’t acknowledge them, we don’t evolve.
Fall down seven times - Get up, eight! - Japanese Proverb
Through the healing process, Virgo offers the gift of Forgiveness . . . one of the most difficult forms of release; especially, of ourselves. Breaking this word down . . . forgiving is “ for - giving “ and, mostly, to ourselves. Anger and resentment block our ability to receive healing energy. Loving ourselves, in spite of everything, is working with the highest frequency of Virgo energy.
The Virgo Full Moon reminds us that when we live in the vibration of Love and Self-Acceptance, we align with our gift and talents, able then, to share them with the world.
Any Full Moon seeks Balance between the polarity of the Axis being highlighted, this month: Pisces (Sun) and Virgo (Moon).
☀️Pisces: 🌕 Virgo
Oneness Individuality Heart Mind Spiritual. Physical Otherworldly. Worldly Dreams. Reality Imagination Discernment Heaven Earth Boundless Boundaries Surrender/Trust Control/Take Charge
In the center of these opposing energies lies a beautiful integration. BALANCE!
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, known as the messenger of the gods, in Mythology. It is the planet of communication and the mind . . . distilling, , editing and refining, information. In keeping with these processes, this Lunation encourages us to look at what areas of our lives could use an upgrade in healing old wounds.
Look back to Sept. 15, 2023, when the NEW MOON occurred in VIRGO, noting what was going for you at that time. This may provide some hints as to what needs releasing. This Virgo Full Moon may bring closure to something begun at that time. A positive way to face this Lunation is:
There are no endings, ONLY beginnings!
(If you have a Natal (Birth) Chart, look to the House, where 5* Virgo sits, as well, as this is where healing work will be focused , for you).
✨✨✨ Important ASPECTS accompanying this VIRGO FULL MOON: ✨✨✨
Mercury, Sun and Saturn form a stellium (3 or more planets in alignment) in ethereal Pisces and will be EXACT on Feb. 29, 2024 (Leap Year). Mercury, ruler of this Lunation, is amplified by the energy of the sun’s proximity, urging us to have a conversation with our inner (higher) self. Opposing our mind (Mercury) and inner self (Sun) in Pisces, our emotions (Moon) in Virgo may resist this, as they may not want to deal with any painful memories or experiences from the past.. There’s a battle of sorts going on between the mind and the heart. Just remember; however, that the Opposition Aspect is one of aligning heart and mind through Awareness.
Energy flows where thought goes!
Journaling is a wonderful practice and very helpful to release feelings! It’s a great tool for bringing Awareness to any matter.
“Feel the Fear and do it anyway!” - Susan Jeffers.
Saturn, the planet of responsibility and boundaries, is our earthly timekeeper. It represents the Law of Cause and Effect: “What you sow; so shall you reap!”
It works well with Virgo energy as it rules another earth sign: Capricorn and it encourages us to commit to our healing process. It provides the discipline to do so.and aligned with the Sun & Mercury, it is also amplified by the Sun’s energy of self love and self are. Saturn’s energy helps us with setting boundaries to protect and honour ourselves, along this healing journey. Remember that even small changes can create major progress.
Inch by inch, life’s a cinch!
The Moon, in Virgo is trine Jupiter, (the Great Benefic) in Taurus, creating a lovely, harmonious aspect of Joy to this healing process. It urges us to connect with Mother Earth (Gaia), ruled by Taurus and use its many gifts to enhance healing and bring calmness to the nervous system: * Walk in nature; Work with Crystals, Use Aromatherapy, Wear the earth’s prominent Colours: Blue and Green, Practice Reiki & enjoy any other healing modality that you know & work with.
The Sun, in Pisces makes a Sextile Aspect to Jupiter in Taurus, providing the opportunity and the space for health and well-being.
VIRGO Lunation’s bring us back to earth and into our bodies. The symbol for Virgo is the Virgin Goddess, encouraging us to treat our body as a temple, nurturing ourselves back to wholeness: body, mind and soul.
Lastly,
This Lunation reminds us that “To Heal (Virgo) is To Feel (Pisces)!”
In the spirit of Wellness in Body, Mind & Soul: FULL 🌕 MOON BLESSINGS,
