Virgo Full Moon Feb 22 2016 (333)

Full moon exact February 22 2016 at 10:20 am PST 3 degree 33 minutes (333) of Virgo: This earthy full moon brings changes and new awareness to what has become out of balance in your life, especially when it comes to your everyday working routine and or where you have the sign Virgo on the cusp of your natal/prog chart. What in your life has become blurred, unclear, or neglected needing more attention and grounded logical analysis? Virgo is ruled by Mercury the mind, the side of the brain that is capable of separating what's useful and logical that actually works from the fluff stuff, and what doesn't work. Six months ago there was a Virgo new moon where we set intentions for better health, along with a better working routine learning new skills to help us better our personal ambitions for the future. Now those seeds planted months ago should be ready for harvesting phase if you actually put the work into achieving some of those intentions. Full moon's bring full awareness to certain issues in your life. This leads to making small adjustments so that changes can help balance out what has become uneven.

The sun is with Neptune in Pisces creating opposition, either within yourself or by others in your life. Some dreams and fantasies that have been building up recently may need a reality check. Virgo is about getting stuff done, organized, cleaned up and healthy and because at the time of this full moon Mercury will be in Aquarius conjunct Pallas then this tells us a lot of what needs grounding and cleaned up is our thoughts, friendships, connections and plans for how we want to proceed within group activities this year along with organizing our daily work and health routines. Pisces, the opposite sign of Virgo is about the collective needs but in order to be useful and helpful for everyone else out in the world it's important we keep our self healthy as well, focusing on real world practical needs in your life that want more attention to keep your own personal life healthy. This full moon could be suggesting your attention has been on the needs of others for too long, out of balance with your own. OR, the imbalance could be that you have been too critical of self and others recently, viewing matters thru a purely intellectual logical uptight viewpoint, lacking imagination, compassion and faith or concern for others. Perhaps you need to integrate more intuition and kindness to maters you have recently been focused on. Whatever side of this polarity you have been working from this full moon will help you gain more awareness to that and what is out of balance in your life so to help release the oppositions that you have created by the help of others. Mercury ruling this moon conjunct Pallas could suggest surprising situations, info, news, and realizations about certain things going on in your life right now start to peak and release. Be prepared for the unexpected that helps with needed changes.

The moon makes several aspects. Here is a list in order of what other energies this full moon has working up.

Moon quincunx Venus - some annoying social adjustments will take place with this moon, changing some relationship dynamics from recent weeks. Also some adjustments to recent detached values along with possible changing money habits or spending routines that have become unhealthy. Any matters that are out of balance along the lines of Venus - money, values, relationships, desires, etc will face some self criticism within the mind to help bring order back to those areas of life that have gotten messy.

Moon opposite Neptune - Facing and cleaning up illusions from this past few months will be another feature of this full moon's energy. Either you or someone else in your life is playing the role of Neptune while the other is attaching to Virgo's energy, being more practical and logical where the other is being sensitive and dreamy. There needs to be more balance between these two polarities in self which will lesson the opposition between you and others. Careful of being too critical, and likewise be careful of illusion and fantasy leading you astray. Use more intuition and spiritual guidance OR if you have been doing that already, incorporate more logical mental smart thinking, remembering that we have a mind for a reason, it's not a negative unless it's out of control. Use the mind to your advantage and figure things out logically while still remaining compassionate and feeling your intuition. Anyone that says you should silent the mind and only trust feelings is just as out of balance as someone who over-thinks everything dismissing what they feel. Balance this polarity out for best results.

Moon quincunx Mercury - Feelings and circumstances again have to make adjustments to unusual surprise info or communication coming in from others. We get reminded that we still have to consider the needs of the group, not just self. Friendships, dreams and hopes for the future all need to be emotionally understood through a practical mental perception in order to fully see where any imbalances in these situations are. Feelings adjust to the mind and needs of others.

Moon square Saturn - as we work on bringing back balance to certain areas of our life we get reminded where we have fears and self restrictions. We also might notice where the pressure is coming from and that our adjustments still have to include honoring our personal commitments and responsibilities. Some of our beliefs and opinions about self and the world will play a role in what we feel and think is possible or not and it's likely we could feel some temporary pessimistic insecure feelings being over critical with self or others. This shouldn't last long if you do feel it. Try not to judge any hard feelings that arise rather use as opportunity to see where your thinking is lacking and fearful so you can then begin to change that process.

Moon Trine Pluto - After getting past any restrictiveness; intensity and self empowerment begins to build allowing for easy changes both emotionally, mentally and on practical real world levels.  We are able to see what has been hidden under the surface allowing for a clean up of what normally is unseen. This begins the transformation process into greater balance with any oppositions in your life.

Moon quincunx Uranus- more surprises come up that were unforeseen causing some emotional adjustments, being reminded that that we still need to keep authenticity and originality with good dose of independence. Either self or other shows traits of rebelliousness and lack of cooperation. Adjust to these annoyances allowing for temporary disruptions, remembering to factor in plans for what is being brought to your attention at the time of these surprises.

Moon conjunct Jupiter and North Node - After the full process of connecting to these different energies above the moon with Jupiter and NN begin to fill us with enthusiasm and faith in everything happening. We start to feel and see the path that is leading us forward and it feels good, practical and smart. The real world activities and changes we make in this process have true results that take us to where we want to be. The moon across the North Node also starts the eclipse season for March where we will have an eclipsed new moon in Pisces. We really need to make sure we have some form of spirituality or creative imaginative activities in our life or we face difficulties with every day matters. We can't rely just on the mind but we can't be too dreamy either. These polarities need a strong healthy balance in order to be fulfilled in our life. We will get more into the service to humanity next month but for now, we need to ground to mother earth and get more logical with certain plans, also honoring new physical/spiritual health routines that we started in the last 6 months. Doing so will all lead us to the future we envision.

These are the major aspects of this full moon. Each aspect listed above will play out for a few hours within the first day of this full moon but then will also play out on a bigger scale lasting a few days each over the next two weeks helping us prepare for the next new moon/eclipse that will bring new beginnings with surprises.

Happy Virgo Full Moon
