Full Moon in Virgo. 02/24/2024
Memory of feelings unspoken…
Full Moon in Virgo arrives in the early hours of Saturday and opens a two week period for us to intentionally clear, purify and release some of the toxic material that we have accumulated in the past months. The path is Mercurial (Virgo’s ruler) but not traditionally logical, as the ruler of this lunation is currently in the opposite sign of Pisces, and in the rays of the Sun, not functioning linearly, thus creating mental frustration. Virgo Full Moon is going to point all of us to the spaces where we are overwhelmed with information, emotional stimuli and lack of proper boundaries, and gradually create more healing and supportive space through compassion and keeping self-criticism at bay.
With the ruler of lunation in Pisces it is important that we do not try to find solutions, make decisions and trick ourselves out of certain feelings through our mental capacity, the mind here will only create further confusion. Feelings that are hard to intellectually pinpoint or understand are likely to come through during this Full Moon, our futile attempts to keep them under control is how we are going to exhaust ourselves. This can either show up as hyper vigilance, or opposite, through the desire to escape reality. There is another option, this one requires stillness and aching tenderness of our presence and the heart we are choosing to honor. Healing is ultimately a path of pain to which we are showing infinite love and compassion.
Virgo/Pisces axis deals with the notion of service and sacrifice, with what is tangible and what is impossible to grasp, and it takes a lot of inner space to allow these energies to coexist and be equally valued. Immense trust is required to do what we need to do, day in and day out, to tend to this aching world, to our bodies, and hold this trust that we are not toiling for nothing, that at any given moment we are held by the great unfolding and we are not separate from each other. I would like for us to consider how trust can be the most liberating thing, how it is the only thing that we need to give each other, give ourselves, as we tend to the realities of our lives.
This lunation forms an applying trine to Jupiter in Taurus. To see all that we do on the ground, in this earthly realm, to elevate our relationship to the earth, to the everyday choices and tasks, to our mundane commitments is the medicine we need right now. Venus that just went through the conjunction to Mars in Aquarius, is moving towards the square with Jupiter in Taurus. Benefic square, as catalyzing as it can be, has one danger, that is an excess of any kind. Support is available here through grounding into our highest values ( Venus in Aquarius) and creating a long term, birds eye view vision to expand and implement these values in our material reality. Taking words, letters, thoughts and allowing them enough fluidity of expression is one of the most enriching things. Suspending the idea of the word and inviting the feeling of the word, even if it is just for a moment, is how our spirit receives knowledge.
