Monday the 9th of March, we have a Super Full Moon falling in the sign of Virgo. Shortly after this Full Moon peaks, Virgo’s ruling planet, Mercury will station direct, signaling the end of its retrograde, so now is a good time to express what we have been holding back for the past three weeks.
Having these two potent energies back to back allows things to be illuminated so we can see the bigger picture. This is especially so, seeing as March’s Full Moon is a Super Moon.
Super Moons fall close to Earth, allowing us to feel its effects strongly. It is important that we stay hydrated and take the time to recharge our batteries.
This Super Full Moon is going to shine a light on things that have felt foggy or unclear. It is going to leave a trail of breadcrumbs for us to follow so we can find our way forward.
This Virgo Full Moon is a seeker of truth and will be guiding us to follow our intuitions along the way so we can find new realisations, healings, and awakenings.
Virgo is represented by the virgin, but this symbol is more about coming into our own strength and inner wisdom. It is about knowing that we have the power to heal ourselves, others, the planet, and our collective heart.
March has bold, potent energy, and with this Moon, big and bright in the sky, we are going to be feeling the intensities and the transformations that this month brings.
There is strong, transformative energy flowing all the way through the month of March, and with this Virgo Super Full Moon illuminating or highlighting things for us, we need to ensure that we are protecting and looking after our own health and wellbeing.
Schedule that doctor’s appointment, go talk to a therapist, take a walk, sit in meditation, get your hair and nails done. Do whatever you need to honor your own healing journey and feel good about yourself.
March’s Full Moon is also preparing us for the start of the astrological year which begins on the Equinox later this month.
It is time for us to enter a new cycle, but before we can step onto this new path that is opening for us, we must bring acceptance to where we stand today. We have to radically accept our past, our pains, our grief, our mistakes, our triumphs, our family, our story, so we can move forward.
Sometimes it takes time for acceptance to arise, and that’s ok. But this Virgo Full Moon is clearing a path, it is shining a light, and if we want to take that step forward, if we are ready to accept what has come, there is energy supporting and holding us.
Neptune, the planet of spirituality, is also very active at this Full Moon. It will be guiding us to step out of our ego and into a place of heart and soul. The Virgo Full Moon sits opposite Neptune and is one of the most sensitive and compassionate aspects, but sometimes its idealism can be misplaced, unrealistic and impractical. Day-to-day existence can be a struggle coping with the vague and surreal energy of Neptune. We may feel like we are forever walking through a fractal painting, checkerboard staircases tapering off in spirals & melting clocks…
Addictions, especially alcoholism are a very obvious danger during the Virgo Full Moon. We are very sensitive to the environment that self-medication can be the only way to numb the pain. Moon opposition Neptune can cause the demonization of someone as being poisonous to the environment! As we are in the middle of a world pandemic, this opposition is even more poignant. It is the sort of aspect that can cause a lot of panic. Neptune being in Pisces makes this aspect even more about blurred boundaries.
This strong aspect may heighten our intuition and give us vivid or prophetic dreams. Take note, as this is how Neptune communicates with us.
Whatever is exposed under this Virgo Super Full Moon, know that Neptune’s energy encourages us to work from the heart and to keep our ego in check. It encourages us to transcend the physical for a moment and to view things through the lens of our higher self.
This can be hard to do. As life unfolds, we can get reactive, we can get stuck, we can get upset and triggered. And this is ok. We are human, we need our egos and we need to learn to get along with them.
But we also need our spiritual connection too. We also need to step outside of the mundane and the physical and see that we are so much more. Earth is like a school where we come to learn, grow, taste, and experience. All these experiences, no matter how painful or tragic, or wonderful, or beautiful, are here to help us grow.
Full Moons tend to make us purge and release things from our lives, so we need to make sure that we are in control of this and no one is forcing our hand! Sometimes we can let go of things that we regret later, due to heightened emotions and the Full Moon’s energetic fondness for saying ‘F*** it!’
The bright light of the Sun throws a spotlight on our subconscious and our shadow. This can feel uncomfortable as the Sun blasts out the demons who have nowhere to hide. Often the full moon is a time when we reap what we sowed at the New Moon… for good or for ill.
The veils between the worlds are thinnest around a full moon, so be very careful what you invite in. Instead, the full moon is best used to purge things out.
The Astrology surrounding the Virgo Super Full Moon continues the similar patterns as the last New Moon in Pisces, so we could see this as a part two. The Virgo/Pisces axis is also one that plays out the Victim/Savior polarity. If one has been feeling a victim of their own emotions, then grab a paintbrush or dive into anything creative that moves the soul and inspires release. Giving ourselves an outlet to express opens us up as a channel to the divine. And divine energy is healing.
The Virgo Super Full Moon prepares us for a new chapter that is awakening. It is a time of illumination, healing, and radical self-acceptance.
