FULL MOON in VIRGO: February 22, 2016 @ 1:20pm at 3 degrees
We are energetically at a juncture between past and future… feeling into the knowns and unknowns… preparing to take a leap.
The Virgo full moon culminates out of the New Moon in Aquarius and our relationship with Spiritual Intelligence. The full moon always comes with a promise (intention) of fulfilling what was initiated or seeded at the new moon. Virgo is the maiden earth sign of practicality and she shows us the way to daily devotion and teaches the necessity of earth experience in order to heal and live purely. Throughout this lunation we’ve been touching the deepest parts of ourselves; drawing on the Aquarian energy of objectivity and bringing our mind into a state of equanimity to support our process. Reconnecting with our tribe and understanding where we fit in is indicative to the unfolding dream we are creating and helps us to understand where we might be out of alignment.
All full moons illuminate the balance (or imbalance) of things – an exercise in polarity. Some lunations have a stronger force than others, and I’d say, this is one of those lunations. The tensions might be high with doubts, negativity, and fears soaring. But, we have Mars transiting through Scorpio giving us the courage to charge into the underworld. We’ve been clarifying and dissecting, letting go and allowing, recognizing our subjective predispositions and doing our best to remain neutral. The golden rule for this full moon is to continue one step at a time, one moment, one breath. We’ve got this! We really do! Trust in the moment, and in ourselves.
Trusting requires that we acknowledge what we know beyond our perceived realities of the past or expectations of the future. Presence is honestly recognizing that we may not truly understand past events or know the outcome. Reality is both seen and unseen, tangible and intangible. We must wait, we must let go, we must accept, we must Be. Great wisdom resides in simply Being.
“Living, there is no happiness in that. Living: carrying one’s painful self through the world. But being, being is happiness. Being: Becoming a fountain, a fountain on which the universe falls like warm rain.” ― Milan Kundera, Immortality
Mercury, the ruling planet of this moon, is in the sign of Aquarius, along with Venus. Our minds and hearts are slightly more detached allowing for clear discernment and wise judgment as we commit to the necessary daily steps toward fulfilling our dreams. And, this lunation is definitely dreamy, with the Sun and Neptune conjunct in Pisces opposing the moon. Our inner world is calling us to attention and inviting us to listen and reflect on all the symbols arising in our waking and sleeping dreams, we are receiving a plethora of information from the subconscious realm. We want to live consciously, unified, connected and this is a time of realizing what daily practices and practical steps are necessary to have the partnerships, careers, and lifestyles we long for. Living healthy is key while honoring all aspects of ourselves (body, mind, spirit) equally.
Jupiter (also transiting through the sign of Virgo conjunct North Node) is bringing more expansion and focus to the Virgo area of our life, honing in on the details and how our daily tasks inform our future and current reality. Jupiter is opposing Chiron in Pisces exposing the Piscean wounds of deception, lack of boundaries, and denial. The Pisces influence teaches us to be in the flow and to trust, to serve or suffer, and as always, to surrender. We cannot change the past, but we can choose to change our perspective of it in the present. We cannot control the future, but we can choose to direct it in the present through our current actions.
We are prepared to take the necessary steps required to create the life of our dreams… this means healing ourselves and to stop living in the wound. We are not victims to our reality, we’ve created our reality. Our wounds are a screen into the story of our lives, through this story we discover the unbelievable wisdom of the soul. All the keys to the great mystery are here. We must touch them, feel them, and draw upon their gifts to inform our daily actions.
