Full Moon in Virgo — the article

The next Full Moon will be “exact” on March 18th, at 3:18am EDT/7:18am GMT, in almost 28 degrees of Virgo — and by then, we are halfway through the Lunar cycle that started on March 2nd.

Take a look at the New Moon Intentions you set around March 2nd, and ask yourself: How far have I come with those Intentions? If I’m not where I’d like to be with them, what new course might bring me closer to my goals?

A Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites. Very often, we experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.

The balance we seek between Virgo and Pisces seems to be the fundamental challenge of our time: to integrate head and heart, science and intuition, discernment and compassion. This Full Moon shows each of us how far we have come with integrating those two seemingly opposite archetypes within ourselves — and how far we have yet to go.

This particular Full Moon has a planetary line-up known as a Stellium; it’s in Pisces, includes Mercury (the ruler of Virgo), and it connects favorably to the current Moon Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio. Pluto in Capricorn also plays an important role in this Full Moon chart. We will also look at the Venus-Mars alignment in Aquarius, and how it connects to other planets in this Full Moon chart. More about all of this in a moment… But first let’s take a look at the polarity of this Full Moon in general:

The Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces. Virgo seeks personal and practical wholeness, while Pisces reminds us of a transcendent wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.

Virgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else — when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves.

Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels: We are invited to discern what’s real, so we can make healthier choices. To find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself…

To find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? More accepting? What if my inner knowingness could inform practical choices? What if “choosing” was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?

What results might I get in my daily life if I dissolved my fears, judgments, and painful memories? Even if I could only do that as best as I can? What might a daily practice of self-forgiveness, acceptance, and learning to love myself do for me? What else might bring more inner peace?

All Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs. Please note that the Shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace, but it is an essential process in order to move into the lighter vibrations of any sign.

Virgo’s shadow side is “Judgement”; this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves, closing our heart and limiting our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. it’s what is showing up when we label things as “good or bad”, rather than seeing them in terms of “useful or unproductive”.

Drawing on the higher vibrations of Pisces helps us likewise connect with the higher vibration of Virgo… Pisces’s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination; at its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.

The shadow side of Pisces is ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization, and poor or missing boundaries. And just as the converse is true, the best qualities of Virgo can move us back into the higher vibration of Pisces — qualities like the ability to choose wisely and to objectively discern what works and what doesn’t.

When both sides are well-integrated, we possess acuity of mind, and this is united with the wisdom of our heart and the guidance of our intuition.

Ask yourself: What single step would I take right here and now, if I were setting out to employ 5% more self-compassion, unconditional love, and selfless service?

What if there were synergies between my emotional, intuitive understanding, and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts & intuitive knowingness? What if I could have both?

For the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities, and take a little more pride in “small” accomplishments, so ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic? Where are things piling up? How can I make healthier choices? How could even small accomplishments make my life better and easier in the long-run?

Let’s talk about what’s important in this particular Full Moon chart:

Mercury (the ruler of Virgo) is the first planet of a Stellium in Pisces, followed by Jupiter, Neptune and the Sun in Pisces. This Stellium (or line-up of planets) is asking us to go within and trust our own intuition and connection to Source above all else.

The combined energies of Jupiter and Neptune are highly transformative when channeled into spiritual practice, selfless service, healing, or the arts.

We will also talk in more detail about the Jupiter-Neptune alignment in Pisces — and how it all relates to your birth chart — in our upcoming Forum on March 19th at 11:30am EDT/3:30pm GMT/London-time! This alignment signifies a new spiritual growth cycle for all of us – collectively and individually speaking.

We also mentioned the Pisces Stellium in my last New Moon video, so feel free to watch that again for more info, or read the New Moon in Pisces article. 

The only planet that has changed from two weeks ago is Mercury which has since moved into Pisces as well.

Since Mercury is also the ruler of Virgo, this position is an important one! We are invited to get very clear about spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors. We are also invited to stay centered in our heart, and tune in and see if we need to take a break or at least slow down a little.

Our imagination is very important here as well. And in particular how we use it.

Ask yourself: What am I imagining? For myself? For others? For this planet? Am I coming from fear when I imagine things?

What might be possible creatively if I allowed myself to daydream just 5% more than I have in the past? What might a short nap do for my ability to process information and stay in the flow? 

How might compassionate and soothing self-dialogue support my connection to Source? To Life? To other Souls?

This Stellium in Pisces also trines the South Node in Scorpio, making it easier for us to release old fears and protective behaviors that no longer serve us; it invites us to examine and redefine “old” traumas, or past disempowerments, individually and collectively.

It’s also much easier now to revise or adjust “old” or “toxic” ways of connecting with others — by tapping into the Pisces energies of forgiveness, acceptance, and compassion.

This could be in connection with our intimate or financial partners, or with other people’s resources in general, transformative processes (such as therapy or other forms of self-exploration), and our ability to trust others.

Ask yourself: What are my motivations when connecting with others? Do I have an agenda? Do I try to protect myself? Am I afraid of loosing something, being hurt, or being betrayed?

How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears in connection to past trauma or disempowerment? What has been in my awareness lately when it comes to such fears?

The Moon in Virgo trines the North Node in Taurus & Pluto in Capricorn; and opposes not just the Sun, but also Neptune & Jupiter in Pisces.

Trines always take place in the same element — in this case the Earth element: Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus. This Moon placement trining Pluto and the North Node makes it easier to connect with the physical world, and our social responsibilities within that physical world, including the honoring of our own body and our planet.

An increased ability to discern “what’s what” can support us with making some important choices in our physical world that further our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing long-term (in other words: wholeness). This in turn could increase our enjoyment and connection to the planet we live on and value.

Trines creates a “mutual support system” when it comes to manifesting something real that fits with our values and long-term goals. It provides not only a flow of practical approaches, but also a wonderful opportunity to create more abundance in our current earthly experience, along with an ability to slow down and take our time if we are to manifest something that can stand the test of time — and of course, our attention to detail is enhanced at this time.

Ask yourself: How could paying 5% more attention to detail help me be more discerning about how I connect to my body? To the planet? What might open up if I implemented health routines or other systems that support my physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing?

What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? How might a healthy sense of self-worth, a practice of self-responsibility, and a focus on sustainability help me implement daily routines that serve me and others long-term?

We are definitely invited to look at all the practical implications in connection to the choices we make on a daily basis — rushing things will most likely backfire right now.

Ask yourself: What fears and attachments could I now release that no longer serve my evolution? The planet’s evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?

The Moon’s opposition to the Sun/Neptune/Jupiter alignment in Pisces is asking us to bring more awareness for our interconnectedness with others, to our daily routines, along with a healthy balance between head and heart, science and intuition, discernment and compassion. 

Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to release my fears and bless everyone I come into contact with? Could I lower my worry level 5% every day? Is it at least possible that this would strengthen my immunity — and therefore my physical and mental health? Is it at least possible that this would also enhance my vibrational energy body?

If you are experiencing moments of loneliness, helplessness, or separation, ask yourself this: If I temporarily set aside memory, and just for the moment stayed out of concepts and imaginary futures — just looking here and now in this moment, can I find the one that is truly alone? Can I find the one that is helpless? That is separate? (Check to see if you need to go into memory in order to find “the one that is truly alone” — and memory is everything that is not the current now-moment, so even just one second ago, is memory)

What if connecting to my heart and higher Self could protect me? What if that connection could empower me to create a future that I truly want to “live into”? One in which I thrive? One in which everyone around me does too?

Venus and Mars are now conjunct in Aquarius, squaring Uranus in Taurus, and sextiling Chiron in Aries:

The Venus-Mars conjunction signifies a personal and collective readiness for greater equality and collaboration, as well as increased drives for freedom, innovation, and reform. 

We are more able to demonstrate our ability to collaborate with others and keep a vision or a dream for a better future alive in each of us.

Ask yourself: How might I, as an individual, shape the future of the collective experience? What collaborations might help bring about a better future for all? What actions (large or small) could I take to bring about this vision of an all-inclusive experience for all beings? What roles do “tolerance” and “diversity” play in all of this?

There are some things to watch out for too: being too detached and unfeeling about individual humans, and thus applying peer pressure or inflexible dogmatic visions that don’t honor those individuals, but instead ask them to sacrifice themselves for the greater vision or the group.

Ask yourself: Could I notice when my thoughts drift toward forms that create separation or seclusion? Can I make an effort to focus on things that support community, collaboration, and diversity?

The Square to Uranus Taurus invites us to stretch and grow in our individuation process. We might experience unexpected shifts in our lives in regards to romantic relationships, creative projects, courageous new avenues that we are exploring, etc. To bring this home, ask yourself these questions:

How uniquely “myself” do I allow myself to be within my various communities? Where do I stop myself from enjoying my unique gifts? Could I grant myself permission to value the fact that I am different from others and they are different from me?

What if I gave a voice to all my talents — even the “crazy” or “out there” ones? Where do I huddle down when I could perhaps stand tall? What needs to break down for me to have a breakthrough?

I should mention here that we might be dealing with some uncomfortable interactions with others, and with uncertainty on a personal level. Giving ourselves space (and giving lots of space to others) is essential.

Ask yourself: What do I value differently from others? How could these differences spark a creative process? How might they bring diversity and innovation to our collective interactions? Where do I need to be more flexible? What is the thinking box I need to think outside of?

The sextile to Chiron in Aries presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process around our personal identities that could bring us progress. Ask yourself: What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for a better future for all humankind?

To sum it all up for this Full Moon:  If we can recognize that we are doing the best we can at any given time, and that on a spiritual level all “mistakes” are just “experiences”, we can learn about empathy — and our brain will re-pattern itself around compassion, rather than criticism.

Ask yourself: What if I stood in a place of allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Does my mind wander or gravitate towards worst-case or best-case scenarios?

What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic? And even to my fearful mind chatter?

The moment you feel ungrounded or overwhelmed, ask yourself: Could I slow down and notice my breathing? What might breathing deeply and mindfully bring to this moment?

This Full Moon reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Rather than pushing, over-thinking, or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments, inside of faith in universal support.

In that spirit…

For the next two weeks, ask yourself: Where is the balance point for intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if far more is happening, both within each one of us and around the world, than meets the eye, ear, or news media?

What if the solutions were already available… just not widely distributed?

This Full Moon reminds us that peace comes from within, and can radiate from each one of us — we are what we choose to be in every “moment of now” — so choose wisely! Our future is birthed breath-by-breath, step-by-step, heart-by-heart.
