A FULL MOON happens on February 24, 2024 (8:30 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 5°23′ minutes in the realm of mutable earth, VIRGO, the sign of service.
Astrologically, the Full Moon marks a period of culmination and heightened emotions. It signifies the conclusion of the lunar cycle, during which the Moon, fully illuminated by the Sun, reveals underlying currents and intensifies our emotional experiences. This phase acts as a reflective mirror, showcasing the fruition of endeavors begun at the New Moon. It is a time of realization and closure, often accompanied by significant (and sometimes dramatic) revelations!
Another Full Moon is upon us, dear reader, with Luna reaching her pinnacle of illumination, this time in the meticulous and orderly sign of Virgo, the sign of the maiden!. As with all Full Moons, emotions are heightened during this period, urging us to discern what truly serves us and what needs to be refined or let go.
When the Full Moon graces the virtuous sign of Virgo, it amplifies archetypical Virgo traits – service, perfection, and purity. Known as the sign of the Virgin, Virgo embodies an unparalleled aspiration for precision, aiming to refine and purify both self and surroundings. The maiden, after all, is traditionally raised to keep her chastity, also while being trained to manage the household, and therefore, the house staff, servants, and the tradesmen that provide and maintain the household necessities. Therefore, this sign typically champions craftsmanship and service. Dedicated to instilling order amidst chaos, Virgos often get the reputation of being judgemental or overtly critical, yet, the intention of the correction comes with a humility that typically abstains from arrogance. Virgo’s essence is one of genuine service, finding fulfillment not in accolades but in the act of assistance itself. It teaches us that true satisfaction often lies in self-sacrifice and in the selfless support of others, urging us to find our purpose through acts of utilitarian support, maintenance, and efficiency.
As this Full Moon rises, the spotlight is on the small details that make up the whole, encouraging us to analyze, sort, and purify. Ruled by Mercury, which facilitates communication and analysis, where this lunation falls in our charts illuminates the areas where we are called to be discerning, organized, and helpful. The energy of Virgo craves not only improvement and utility but also yearns to be of service in meaningful ways. This longing, however, carries its own challenges: akin to the careful analysis of Mercury, always separating the wheat from the chaff, Virgo may feel that despite its diligence and practicality, its efforts are often overlooked, its contribution undervalued. This can lead to a meticulous perfectionism, marked by a humble yet profound desire to make a tangible difference, not for the sake of recognition but for the satisfaction of enhancing efficiency and promoting wellness.
Conversations with Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter
This lunation exchanges tense, tug-of-war energy with Mercury and Saturn, presenting a unique challenge that creates frustrations, but also gifts us with opportunities for growth. This energy may bring about tensions in our communication and thought processes, requiring a careful balance between clarity and discipline. Mercury’s role in communication, combined with Saturn’s focus on structure, calls for us to be precise in our planning, and also thorough and deliberate in our interactions. This period encourages us to slow down, prioritize our responsibilities, and communicate with intention, fostering a mindset geared towards precision and thoughtful decision-making.
Conversely, a harmonious trine with Jupiter introduces an element of expansion and optimism. This auspicious aspect motivates us to broaden our perspectives, expand our horizons, so we can embrace a more generous and open-hearted approach to life. Jupiter’s influence encourages us to explore beyond our current boundaries, promising a boost in confidence and the potential for positive developments in our personal and professional endeavors.
EMBRACING THE ENERGY
To fully embrace the transformative energy of this Full Moon, we are called to find harmony between Virgo’s attention to detail and Jupiter’s expansive vision, all while honoring Saturn’s lessons in discipline and structure. By cultivating mindfulness, engaging in meaningful communication, and dedicating ourselves to acts of service and self-betterment, we open ourselves to a journey of profound growth and discovery!
Practical steps to embrace this energy include organizing aspects of our lives that may feel chaotic, engaging in conversations with purpose and kindness, performing acts of service without expecting anything in return, and setting small, achievable goals for self-improvement. These actions not only aid in our personal development but also contribute to a broader sense of fulfillment and balance.
Let us utilize the energy of this Full Moon, dear reader, to refine our actions and intentions, paving the way for a future where we can enjoy a sense of balance, purpose, and fulfillment. Not only do we illuminate the path to our own enlightenment in doing so, but we also kindle the flames of hope and healing in the hearts of those around us. ❤
