Introduction

Welcome to our special edition blog post on the upcoming Full Moon in Virgo, also known as the Snow Moon, occurring on February 24th at 12:30. This celestial event brings a unique alignment as the Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun conjunct Mercury and Saturn in Pisces, with a significant influence from Jupiter. This configuration accentuates themes around communication, discipline, and expansion, affecting signs governed by Mercury (Gemini and Virgo), Saturn (Capricorn), and Jupiter (Pisces). Today, we’ll dive into how this Full Moon can spark personal growth, healing, and transformation, offering insights into how to navigate and harness these energies for positive change.

Lunar Insights

The Full Moon in Virgo illuminates the sky with a focus on detail-oriented Virgo, inviting us to balance our dreams with reality, our beliefs with the work we’re willing to put in. This phase encourages introspection, seeking inner balance, and aligning our actions with our higher purpose. Here’s how to make the most out of this period:

Mercury’s Influence: Enhance communication and self-expression, focusing on clarity and precision.

Saturn’s Lessons: Embrace discipline and responsibility; it’s a time for hard work and facing karmic lessons head-on.

Jupiter’s Expansion: Open your heart to growth and optimism. Believe in the possibilities.

Tips for Positive Change:

Release your inner critic to embrace growth.

Initiate a ‘spring clean’ of your habits and surroundings.

Consider a burn ceremony to let go of past burdens and welcome new beginnings.

Reiki and Energy Healing

Balance your throat chakra (governed by Mercury) with a soothing tea blend of peppermint, lavender, and lemon, enhancing communication and self-expression. This Moon phase is an opportune time to shine light on the darker aspects of our lives, transforming them with positive affirmations. Create a ritual under the Moon: write down challenges, affirm positive outcomes, and burn these notes as a symbolic release, journaling your journey towards healing and growth.

Craft Corner

Inspired by the Full Moon in Virgo, I’ve embarked on creating Pisces Birthday Cards and Chakra Affirmation Cards, utilizing my skills from Canva ( in which I am now certified) and Midjourney. These projects not only foster creativity but also offer a way to connect with the lunar energies on a personal level. Sharing this process encourages both my children and my audience to explore their creativity and understand the value of technology in artistic expression and entrepreneurship.

Affirmations and Journal Prompts

Affirmations:

“I am grounded in my ability to bring order and harmony into my life.”

“My attention to detail opens the door to abundant opportunities.”

“I embrace my imperfections as steps towards my greatest self.”

Journal Prompts:

Reflect on how the Virgo Moon’s energy can improve your self-talk and interactions with others.

Identify habits you’re ready to release for your growth.

Consider the areas of your life that are calling for a ‘spring cleaning’, be it mental, physical, or spiritual.

Conclusion

Reflecting on the journey of lunar study, each phase teaches me more about myself and the importance of letting go of what no longer serves. As a multifaceted individual, these celestial events offer moments of introspection and growth, enriching my roles in life. I invite you to share how the Full Moon in Virgo influences your journey, crafts, or experiences with the recommended plants and crystals.
