Full Moon Vibes
This weekend’s Full Moon takes place on Saturday 24th February and we’re feeling it now. During this Full Moon, the Moon is in Virgo opposite the Sun in Pisces. Full Moons are a time of release, when the light of the Moon is at its brightest. It’s the culmination of the Moon cycle, as the Moon changes from waxing to waning. For us humans, it’s time to let go.
This morning, I walked down to my favourite cafe by the sea to enjoy some much-needed early morning sunshine. It’s Pisces season ruled by Neptune, God of the sea, and it’s been wet, wet, wet here in the UK. So much rain, flooding and landslides. This morning’s sunshine was a small break, an interval, as there’s more rain to come.
As I sat by the sea with my coffee in hand, I felt a visible sense of relief. And breathe… I’ve been working on a writing project since the last Full Moon which fell across the Mars-Saturn opposition in my own horoscope. Since then, I’ve been head down writing relentlessly and I’m almost finished. I’ve learnt how to dig deep and use my Mars-Saturn to get the job done. Effort and intention are required in the creative process.
Balance Or Opposition?
Full Moons can work as an opposition pulling you in different directions. There may be conflict or drama, a time when emotions are heightened. Yet, an opposition is a reminder of the importance of balance in life.
This morning, I was by the sea and now I’m back at my desk writing. This evening, I’ll be out with a friend relaxing and chatting over a glass of wine. You could say that this is the perfect day for the Virgo-Pisces axis. Virgo rules writing, chores and working. Pisces is linked to the sea, daydreaming, empathy, connections and wine. Find the balance in life – appreciate and honour both ends of the axis.
During this Full Moon phase, you may notice where you’re ready to let go and breathe. What needs releasing at this pivotal Full Moon moment? How can you bring more balance into your life and move away from the conflict, the opposition?
Here are some top tips on how to make the most of this weekend’s Full Moon.
Full Moon Top Tips
- Tap into your intuition. The Moon represents your inner world, the subconscious. When the light of the Moon is at its brightest during the Full Moon, this can bring clarity when you turn inwards and listen.
- Meditate, be mindful, go for a walk – participate in any activity that helps to quieten your mind and reconnects you with your inner knowing.
- Do yoga or join in with a group activity honouring the Moon – Full Moons are a time to celebrate and come together with other people in community.
- Use the Full Moon to make a decision. In the moon cycle, Full Moons represent completion and culmination. This the peak of the monthly phase. Finish a deadline, have that all-important conversation, complete a project. Close the door on an issue and move on.
- Have a clear out. The period after the Full Moon is the waning phase of the Moon, an ideal time to release and let go. It’s a time to sweep out old energy, declutter, do less not more. In effect, you’re preparing yourself ready for New Moon energy that arrives in two weeks time.
- Ditch limiting beliefs. During the Full Moon, you can write down what holds you back or you want to change, the things you no longer want in your life. Then, either burn the piece of paper or flush it away.
- Let go of attachments. If you’re a human being, you’re going to be overly-attached in some area of your life. It’s one of life’s biggest lessons, learning to give less importance to things we believe matter but often don’t. Practise the art of surrender.
