Storm Moon in Virgo
February 24th, Snow Moon or Storm Moon in Virgo – During this time, most of the world experiences many storms or heavy snowfall. It’s also a mini-moon! This tiny baby might not look big, but that doesn’t take away its power.
This moon brings a jackpot of emotions! The moon is in Virgo, but it's the season of Pisces, both signs with heightened emotional sides. Virgo is known for its attention to detail, practicality, and dedication to service. Under the influence of this earth sign, we are encouraged to evaluate our lives with a critical eye, emphasizing organization, efficiency, and the pursuit of perfection.
However, this full moon isn’t just about practical matters; Pisces invites us to dive deep into our emotions, dreams, and intuition (YAY). It encourages us to embrace our sensitivity and connect with the (spiritual) unknown. The combination of Virgo's precision and Pisces' sensitivity creates a harmonious blend of energies during this full moon. It calls on us to integrate the practical with the spiritual, the analytical with the intuitive. This is a time to find balance.
One of the key themes of this full moon is healing. Virgo is associated with health and well-being, while Pisces governs healing and compassion. Together, they offer us the chance to address any imbalances in our lives, whether they are physical, emotional, or spiritual. It’s a time to prioritize self-care and let go of anything that no longer serves our highest good.
What you might experience: During this full moon, we may feel drawn to activities that nourish both body and soul. This could include practices such as yoga, meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature. We might also feel inspired to declutter our physical space, creating a sense of order and clarity in our surroundings. Beyond personal healing, this full moon also emphasizes the importance of service to others. Virgo reminds us of the satisfaction that comes from helping others, while Pisces encourages us to approach our service with empathy and compassion. Whether it’s through volunteering, showing kindness, or simply lending a listening ear to a friend in need, we have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the world around us.
Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Nothing can spoil their mood, lots of inspiration, and career focus. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Relaxed and stable, stronger intuition, confidence, and success. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Goal-oriented, push laziness aside! Go for it! Strongest urge for deep cleaning among all signs. Reflection on improving/optimizing. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Very tired, take a rest and cancel things if they don’t feel right.
In summary:
The shadow side is active; old pains easily come to the surface. This makes you more emotional. Feeling sad for no apparent reason? Blame the moon (or your period).
You feel more reflective; Mercury is active during this moon, and it's all about communication and thinking.
You might be more focused on the future and more dreamy; What do you want to make a reality? What wishes do you have?
You want to clean the slate. Bring order. Maybe you suddenly started tidying up that closet or that random box of stuff. But also consider the urge to bring order to your digital world (sorting photos, unfollowing people). It also invites you to look at friendships, what no longer serves you, or where you can make a difference.
Let go of: Overanalyzing, (self)criticism and perfectionism, high expectations, and performance pressure.
Embrace: Dreams, intuition, spirituality, structure, setting boundaries, and being of service.
Reflection questions:
In what area could I bring some order? What can I tidy up/organize?
Where am I being too critical, and how can I introduce more self-compassion?
Which aspects of my life need healing, and what steps can I take to promote this healing?
In what ways can I increase my service to others, while maintaining empathy and compassion within my boundaries?
What self-care and wellness practices can I integrate into my daily life to promote both my physical and emotional health?
