Lunar Digest: Full Moon in Virgo

Working with my menstrual cycle, the Wheel of the Year, and the lunar cycle have served me so well over the last 7-8 eight years. The Moon in particular supports me throughout the month in re-committing to my intentions, taking inspired action and shedding whatever doesn't support the woman I am becoming. I do my own Full and New Moon rituals, and lead The Sisterhood Of The Moon New Moon Circles online in groups and have helped numerous women to maximise their manifestation potential by allowing 'Lady Luna' to inspire their day-to-day lives. The Lunar Digest is a bi-monthly blog post sharing the main themes of the upcoming lunation, my own take on what The Moon has in store, a practice to engage with, an affirmation for The Moon, and a journaling prompt. I hope you enjoy!

The Full Moon in Virgo - 24/2/2024

Main themes: 

• Optimism trumps fear

• Wounds to wisdom

• Focus on what matters

• Source space

My take: 

A Full Moon is always a beautiful time to work on letting go of what doesn't serve you, but sometimes it can be a little be scary to do that, especially if there is a conflict or feud going on which has sat in your heart for so long it has become part of the wallpaper. It is possible for us to become so comfortable with discomfort, that we become attached to it, and apprehensive of who we will be (or what we will angst about) without it. But our ego needs us to cut that cord, especially at the time of a Full Moon in Virgo.

Virgo is the sign often associated with perfectionism, clarity, and detail. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could box up our drama and stash it in the archives with a pretty pink bow, only to be looked back on with wise contentment in the future? Well, that's kind of what this Full Moon makes possible for us!

It's a time for us to make space for our manifestations by crystalizing the lessons, the experiences and the wisdom from our past up until now, and step into the next iteration of our being (while, of course, opening our hearts up to more lessons, experiences and wisdom!)

So this is a great time to run a little life-inventory... What is important to you? What aligns with your values? What are you holding onto which no longer suits the next phase of your evolution? All of these questions are vital if we are wanting to create the energetic conditions for our hopes and dreams to be answered. And when we start doing that work during this Full Moon, we can be sure that we'll be doing it in the most energetically efficient, effective and thorough way possible, which allows us to really lean into optimism, and BELIEVE that better is coming.

Don't forget though that the opposing sign of Pisces is on its way soon though, so prepare for an otherwise inexplicable flip-flop between the 'get the job in front of you done and get it done right' energy of Virgo, and the 'but this is a really pretty shiny object which might be more romantic to play with' energy of Pisces. Balancing those energies and staying the course as you flow through the coming weeks will stand you in the best stead for the slowly-but-surely-approaching Spring.

Affirmation:

"I am excited to release what doesn't serve me. There is nothing to fear in letting go. This work is worth doing, and it's worth doing it right."

Journaling prompt:

What have you 'tried' to let go of before, but still lingers on? Which part of that releasing process could you have done better? How could you go the extra mile to ensure that work is completed this time around?

Practice: 

A Virgo Full Moon is a great time to work with some literal decluttering as well as energetic clearing, especially as Spring approaches. Choose one area which you can fully complete a clear-out for. It doesn't need to be a big area, it could be a single work surface, a drawer in your kitchen, or the glove compartment in your car... In fact, the smaller the area the better. Once you've decluttered that area completely, choose another tiny area and keep going until you decide that you've had enough. And when you're finished, give yourself a little treat for your hard work!

I am working with a couple of lingering relationship hurts at the moment, which I just can't seem to shake... One involves some of my extended family and has been ongoing for as long as I can remember and the other relates to a romantic relationship from a couple of years ago. Both have (energetically) reared their ugly heads again and have presented another layer each for me to peel back.

This work is NEVER easy... But I know that when I've done it in the past, I've done it only as deep as my fear of letting go would allow me to. Each time I work on these issues again, I become a little braver than the last, and clean the wounds a little deeper. It is always painful, but it always feels better afterwards. For me, this Full Moon in Virgo is a nudge for me to recommit to my heart-healing journey especially as I near my 33rd birthday on the 3rd day of the 3rd month this year.

3333 in angel numbers is often connected to success through liberation, so that is what I'm preparing myself for during this Full Moon. I'm excited (and apprehensive) to see how that pans out!

With grace and grit,

Gabriella
