ABOUT FULL MOONS
Every month the Moon reaches its full phase when it makes an exact opposition with the Sun. It represents the peak of its cycle, when emotions are heightened and when something subconscious rises into the conscious awareness. Also, it symbolizes a completion, when we see the results of what we’ve previously worked on. This makes it a great time to celebrate if you see the results of the seeds you planted and/or an opportunity for gaining clarity on something or a situation.
FULL MOON IN VIRGO
The Full Moon will be at 0 degrees Virgo, happening just one day after the Sun entered Pisces. Interestingly, it’s the fourth consecutive one happening on the degree of beginnings. Hence, these lunar events representing the end of an emotional cycle, also comes with a new perspective or a new path.
Mercury rules this sign and this planet will be making exact aspects with Neptune and Saturn. These ones will define the harmonious influence of this event, making it excellent to direct it towards your dreams and your plans.
VIRGO AND PISCES POLARITY
To delve into more on the meaning of this lunar phase, first we have to understand the opposite signs the Sun and Moon are in:
When in the ideal balance, these two compliment each other. They are from the mutable modality, but Virgo corresponds to the element of earth (practical) and it’s ruled by Mercury (expressive). Pisces corresponds to the one of water (intuitive) and ruled by Neptune (imaginative).
Furthermore, Pisces rules the house of the collective unconscious, dreams, spirituality and loss; Virgo rules the sixth house, the house of work, health and our daily routines.
MEETING THE IDEAL BALANCE
This makes the first one more centered and grounded and the other more connected with the inner realms. The higher octave of each of these signs is met when they’re balanced with the other because being too absorbed by the external world can disconnect you from what’s happening within. Contrarily, being too connected with your spirit can disconnect you from reality and impede you from living a human experience.
PISCES SEASON
In Pisces Season, we always meet the Full Moon in its opposite sign to collectively experience this equilibrium. However, as Winter ends on the next zodiac season, we are called to introspection, release and to heal (twelfth house). And this is to rise again when the Sun enters Aries (first house) on March 20th and Spring begins. For instance, with the Sun in
ITS ASTROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Therefore, this Full Moon happening right after the Sun entered Pisces, highlights that we have to start decluttering our external environment and detoxing ourselves mentally or physically to prepare for the deep introspection. It’s a time for tidying up, cleansing and sweeping the unnecessary away!
We will be starting externally with this lunar event and then going within when Mercury stations retrograde on March 5th. Thus, it’s ideal to prepare for the retrogrades that are coming starting with this planet.
MERCURY CONJUNCT NEPTUNE / SEXTILE SATURN
Mercury and Neptune in Pisces will form an exact conjunction at 15 degrees. Hence, with this aspect we may feel deeply intuitive and sensitive. It will be great to analyze your dreams during this time as it may uncover many subconscious elements (desires, feelings, trauma). In addition, it’s ideal for writing poetry, casting spells, or anything artistic and magical. However, its sextile with Saturn in Capricorn grounds the energies needed to get organized, disciplined and get your plans done.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
No matter where it transits your chart, it’s great to direct its influence towards adjusting your daily routine, changing habits or improving your productivity. As said, this lunar event marks the ideal time to organize,
release the old, and to detox. This will be all to achieve the physical and mental wellness essential for connecting more easily with your spirit and your intuition on Pisces Season. Lastly, it will be ideal to use the element of earth during this time for grounding. Think going out in nature, herbal or earth magick.
