Full Moon in Virgo:
Moon opposite Sun (Pisces) 4:40am

The Full Moon in Virgo arrives tonight as the universe offers many ways for us to connect the heavens and the Earth at our feet, weaving them together in marvelous patterns.

We can see five planets in the evening sky right now, for the first time in eight years––as if the cosmos is waving hello.  All this month, we get an especially good view of Mars, currently retrograde in Virgo and conjunct the Moon at this Full Moon. We're being nudged to pay attention to details, gently reminded not to miss important steps.

And lest we think the Moon is just a symbol, a way to externalize things happening within our own psyches, scientists are proposing that an unusually powerfully alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth might have created the conditions leading to the sinking of the Titanic.

The Full Moon across the Virgo––Pisces axis reminds us that the symbolic and the physical are connected, and both are real.

The fascinating Full Moon chart includes both a Grand Cross and a Grand Trine.

Chiron in Pisces and Mars in Virgo each square the Nodes of the Moon: North Node in Sagittarius and South Node in Gemini. All four mutable signs connect with another nudge to pay attention to every steps needed, including our own healing, to continue our life path.

With the Moon only 6 degrees away from Mars, the Full Moon shines her light on the Grand Cross ... and the Grand Trine, in which Mars, Pluto, Jupiter and Venus create a pattern in which abundance can flow when we act with integrity and authenticity to create strong foundations.

Challenge and support, obstacles and good fortune, everyday details and cosmic connection––this Full Moon is a both/and invitation to hold paradox until it shifts into something new and amazing.

The Virgo Full Moon is the wise woman in the woods, weaving magical clothes, her cottage filled with herbal remedies as her hands are full of healing touch. The guided journey for this Full Moon is now up and ready, available for you here. Listen, and journey to the wise woman. Enjoy!
