Full Moon in Virgo March 7th 2023
Before we dive into what this moon cycle symbolizes let us look at what Virgo Energy represents.
Virgo is seen in astrology as a mutable earth sign. It represents the archetype of systematically organizing and categorizing anything. The dual nature of the Mercury mind.
It is a masculine earth energy with its traditional ruling planet Mercury.
Virgo, the sign that comes after bold attention-seeking Leo in astrology is the happiest being of service to others. To show us how to live by routines and do daily chores with grace. It is modest and realistic. It is the energy of discernment, unlike fellow Mercury-ruled sign Gemini which endlessly gathers information about subjects without discernment. Generally speaking.
Virgo is concerned about healthy habits and the food they eat and cook. It is an energy of constant improvement. In it’s highest expression of energy, the Virgo Archetype is one of a healer in my opinion.
This full moon on March 7th is at 16 degrees Virgo in a flowing aspect with Uranus in earthy Taurus. For those with planets around those degrees it will have a much noticable effect. When Uranus supports a mooncycle it says that you need to upgrade something, become more conscious about living your truth, and be your unique self. A full moon in Virgo that shows us where we need discernment, put in the details. A culmination of what you started at the new moon in Virgo in August.
This is why it makes sense that the annual spring cleaning will take place toward the full moon in Virgo. We are now preparing to plant new seeds in spring, therefor it is time to release some old stuff and clean up or clean your (inner) house.
A clean-up for a new start, to go straight ahead into something new in the Aries season should feel liberating. Living with as little clutter as possible. It will take some courage perhaps. Luckily we have Venus in Aries to support our journey. A new relational phase with ourselves and what we value. Venus here is more focused on walking her path and being independent. This shift of energy we felt from compassionate Venus in Pisces towards the less forgiving and concerned with others Venus in Aries. A significant value shifts when Venus changes from an exalted placement in Pisces to the zodiac sign of it’s fall in Aries untill the 16th of March.
When the sun and moon move into Aries on March 21th, a new moon at zero degrees, this will become more apparent. More on that later.
Full Moon in Virgo astrology message
Be still, clean up, and clear up wherever you feel it is necessary so you can feel lighter with less ( emotional) baggage to move forward on your path in this moon cycle.
Clean your house. Let go of stuff you no longer need. Decluttering your house is also an emotional clean-up. A time to make your to-do lists and stick to them. You might visualize and dream a lot. In Pisces season we ussually dream a lot. It is an excellent time to write your dreams on a piece of paper. Do you want to make those dreams a reality? Virgo energy or people…help you do so.
At the time of this full moon and a day before and after we experience the Chiron Jupiter conjunction in masculine fire sign Aries. JUPITER MAGNIFIES the sensitivities, wounds and painpoints we have experienced around certain subjects. For it to be more consciously felt and healed.
