Analysis
The Sun and Moon make their monthly opposition illuminating the Moon in Virgo. This full Moon shines a light on both Virgo and Pisces. Virgo is a mutable earth sign, dedicated to getting down to the details. Ruled by Mercury, one would assume this particular full moon is intense to Mercury's current retrograde in the opposite sign, Pisces. Both signs symbolize the "pause and reflect" in the zodiac. While Virgo is more likely to come up with the crisis that Pisces heals, this lunation may bring up an area of your life where you feel its time to "clean house" (figuratively or literally). This is a time to be in touch with reality and seek the truth. Practical matters come up with a whopping seven planets in Earth signs.
Jupiter emphasizes the particular energy of this Moon with positive aspects to both the Sun in Pisces and Neptune as well. Idealizing or fantasizing comes to mind. It's very easy to get caught up in the what "could be" here. Be mindful— the overly analytical Moon in Virgo also forms positive aspects to a heavy stellium of Capricorn energy. With connections to heavy hitters like Pluto, Saturn, and Mars suggests opportunities to build something grand. This Moon has the chance to analyze and strategically plan. Much can be accomplished as a result of this Moon in terms of building for the future. Now is the time to raise your standards. Put finishing touches on anything that needs it. Commit to a healthier lifestyle. Look for assistance if you need it within your home or business.
Venus has moved into the sister sign of Taurus and is nuzzled up next to Uranus. This can be some shocking, unexpected situations in regards to romance or finances. Shakeups taking place around the time of this Full Moon may take a solid week or two to pan out because they will be amplified by planets in Capricorn. Trust that what may ultimately come to an end, is meant to. Full Moons often bring some matters to a close. Space is being made for much more reliable possibilities. The universe is encouraging you to think long term. With Aspects to the north node, topics centering around home, family, or emotions will appear. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are especially sensitive to these changes, and may expect to feel an extra oomph energetically.
Both Uranus and Chiron are in tune with the lunar nodes. On one end, Uranus points the way to positive changes and breaking out of old patterns. On the other, Chiron still reminds us of the growing pains taking place in the process. Make the most of this Moon and take your time. Don't over-analyze, or beat yourself up either. Everything happens in divine time. Take stock of what you're doing right, practice a glass is half full type of mentality. Take care of your tummy and listen to your body. Time spent with pets, or even being of service can help put your mind at ease. Once Mercury ends his retrograde mid-March, things will become more apparent. Look for clearer skies at the end of the month.
