Full Moon in Virgo
wants to bring answers and order out of chaos and complexity.
February 21.
It’s raining tonight so we cannot see the big full moon in Virgo. It will reach perfect fullness at 3
degrees of Virgo on Monday, February 22, around noontime. Virgo brings up our need to make a
“to-do” list so we can get things done and feel good about ourself. Virgo is the sign that wants to
bring answers and order out of chaos and complexity. Also, this full moon in Virgo is in the company of the Sun, Neptune
and Mars. Remember, the Sun is always opposing the Moon when
the Moon is full. So this time the Sun sits in the sign of Pisces on the same
chair with Neptune while the Full Moon in Virgo shines from the other side of
the room. Mars is in-between the
three of them.
Neptune is the ruler of Pisces. So the Sun in Pisces likes
being with Neptune. Neptune rules the fog and the mist and all is sublime.
Neptune dissolves and confuses what it touches. While it sits with the Sun (representative of the self),
Neptune dissolves the ego a bit. Softening the ego’s boundaries makes us more receptive
to spiritual vibrations as well as aesthetic and compassionate feelings. We are drawn to beauty and kindness.
Or, we might be drawn to escaping the horrors of this world, because Neptune
offers relief from strain and stress.
This could look like vegging in front of the TV, going to a movie,
reading, drinking, eating, day- dreaming, or sleeping. The Full Moon in Virgo tries to keep us
focused on the “to-do” list but it is hard when we are breathing in all that
Neptunian spaciness.
Fortunately planet
Mars is involved with this Full Moon in Virgo.
Mars in late Scorpio is in a T-cross and that puts pressure
on the Moon to maintain its boundaries in spite of Neptune. Mars is also
putting pressure on the Sun and Neptune in Pisces. Mars gives us energy to get things done and not fall under
the spell of Neptunian ether. Maybe your “to-do” will include some activities
that are nourishing, enriching or creative rather than forceful. Mars also sets a tone for irritation
and arguing. People want to be in
their Sun/Neptune escape place, so any harsh action from Mars or the wrong
words at the wrong time can make us angry or cranky. With Neptune involved it’s hard to defend yourself from any
attack. Also it’s hard to sort out
exactly what is going on. It might
be better to go back to the “to-do” list and let Virgo help us find some order
to our lives. Neptune and the Sun
in Pisces are known for compassion, not sock-sorting. We need a balance at the
moment. On the one hand it’s good
to relax into the Sun/Neptune space of inspiration and beauty. On the other
side, it’s also good to use the Virgo full moon to think about bringing order
out of chaos and also to pay more attention to self-care. Mars will encourage both types of
behavior. And Mars might do one more thing. The Sun and Neptune together is
sometimes a package of illusion and self- sabotage. For some of us Mars will
give us a situation or put pressure on us to break through our illusions. This full moon can be a wake up call in
some area of your life.
Remember, when the
moon is full, it gives us light in the darkness—not just in the backyard, but
also light into areas that are more subliminal.
The full moon shines a light into our psyche. We can resist that light or we can
relax and let the softening come and let it bring some truth into our life. I feel
sleepy just writing this.
Sun/Neptune/Moon/Rain on the roof.
Still, Mars is sitting there and I believe it is stimulating us to
figure things out, to stand up for ourslef, to NOT go to sleep, to fight for
what is right for us, to sort through the illusions, the chaos and the
complexity. The full moon
encourages you to organize our personal life….to tell the truth about yourself,
if you can find it in the Neptune cloud.
