Full Moon!
Many events in Astrology can be tied to
the Cycles of the Moon. Our current World Events are
no exception. One of the more gentle ways to get
through any Full Moon Cycle is to treat yourself with
the utmost love and honor. The Moon symbolically
represents our deepest heart felt needs, nourishment
and self-care. During times of stress very simple
rituals of self-care and love can often be neglected.
We will be experiencing a Full Moon in
the sign of Virgo (27 degrees at 2:35 am PST) on
Tuesday, March 18th, 2003. Have your chart checked
to see where this Full Moon will be affecting you personally.
This Full Moon in Virgo is a time to
get out and find how you can be of service. There
is a beauty to service, especially in a time of crisis.
It is not a time for drama, but rather a time to find
"workable" solutions to everyday problems.
Virgo is a mutable earth sign and is associated with
perfection, health and healing. It may be time
to implement a more practical and grounding health regimen
that serves you. Virgo encourages us to take care
of ourselves.
Full Moon Cycles are "power times."
They can be highly charged emotional times. Research
has shown they produce a higher state of tension, release
and excitement in humans, animals and plants. Therefore,
on a Full Moon ones judgment may be colored by these
feelings. Pay attention and honor yourself during
this and any Full Moon cycle.
Because Virgos place tremendous value
on service, the shadow is of course the workaholic.
Virgos need to balances his/her life with play or intimate
relationship. Virgos also have the boundless ability
to see the minute details of life and are never satisfied
unless the task is absolutely perfect. The shadow of
that is the annoying perfectionist who never actually
completes anything, or is never happy when they do.
The Wisdom needed during this cycle is
a balance between work and play. Evaluate where you
really need to serve yourself. If you have been
working really hard, take a nice long bath or get a
massage. If you have been neglecting your work dive
in and do it "perfectly." Feel the joy
in the service that you can give to others and the rewards
of feeling useful and needed.
Great opportunities
to help others
seldom come,
but small ones
surround us daily.
