About a Full Moon
A Full Moon occurs when the Moon moves opposite the Sun in the sky with the Earth between the two bodies. The Sun’s light fully illuminates the Moon, so she shines brightly, and we have the peak of light and energy in the lunar cycle. The Full Moon completes the first half of the lunar cycle.
Throughout history, the Full Moon was a time for outward celebration, energetic rituals, fertility, abundance, and enjoying the fruits of your labour.
Many people are sensitive to the light and energy of a full Moon; some are woken at 3 AM with a crush of creativity, and others feel more desire to act mischievously. A Full Moon is typically the time in the lunar cycle for the most social activity and fun. There is a spark in the air.
Virgo Full Moon
While the Full Moon occurs in Virgo, the Sun is in Virgo's opposing sign, Pisces. We are in the middle of these two energies, and you are called to bring together the two polarities. Earth sign Virgo wants you to ground by connecting to the earth and your body, and the water sign Pisces is mystical and spiritual. Allow this Full Moon to integrate your spirituality (Pisces) into your daily habits (Virgo).
A key theme of a Full Moon is to release what no longer serves you. Since Virgo is an earth sign, I picture this Full Moon where a woman runs carefree through a field, skipping, not holding on to anything that doesn't serve her at the moment. Think of things in the Virgo realm of health, daily habits, and self-care. Identify what is holding you back in one of these areas and release it; it could be a mindset, a belief, a behaviour or an outlet. An example could be ceasing time on your phone after 9 PM so you can instead meditate, which combines Virgo's daily habits with Pisces's spiritual practice.
This lunar cycle started with the New Moon in Aquarius. The New Moon is the time to set intentions. Revisit your New Moon intentions. The energy from the Full Moon will help you manifest the intentions you set. Allow the light of the Moon to illuminate your purpose and path to achieving your intentions.
