VIRGO FULL MOON

The Full Moon on February 24 @ 7:30 a.m. EST is in the sign of Virgo at 5°.

A full moon is the climax of all the preparation and hard work you put into your specific goal. It is the harvest of your hard work, and the rewards received likely reflect the amount of effort that was put into your goals. Now your rewards will be illuminated.

Much will depend on what your energies have been dedicated to. Is it relationships, work, personal enterprise, home or family, your reputation, status or does it deal with security? The area where the energies are flowing will be identified by the houses involved in the aspects (e.g. Sun opposition Moon) at hand.

The Full Moon occurs when, as mentioned, the Sun and Moon are in direct opposition with one another, and opposition aspects often incorporate other people into the equation. How have others impacted the outcome of what lies before you now?

Has there been interference by them or have others paved the way towards a successful conclusion?

Virgo (Moon’s sign) is all about having everything in its proper place. Being prepared and wanting everything to be as near perfect as possible. Virgo also sees all the little flaws in things and will do their utmost to make sure that the final product is without flaws.

In general, nothing is perfect, so it is important not to be too rigid with your thoughts on perfection.

You can be the coordinator, the regulator, the orchestrator and can also take the pat on the back because of what you have done or in contrast take responsibility for the shortcomings that might be in place and learn from the combination of your effort and your outcome.

Transiting Venus and Mars will be in conjunction with one another at this time and making a quincunx to the placement of the Full Moon in Virgo. Venus and Mars in Aquarius at 8-9° are on the outside looking in but might still be having an impact. (The normal orb of influence is 3°).

Together Venus and Mars can speak of a love interest and the quincunx speaks of adjustment. It can have something to do with finances, the desire to address these issues, and adjustments will be needed in these areas. Security on some level (positive or negative) can also be affected. Because the orb is not tight, this might not be overly influential, however.

Enjoy the energies of this Virgo full moon (also known as the Snow Moon).

FULL MOON IN LEO 2024

Today, January 25, 2024, at 12:54 PM EST, we will be experiencing a Full Moon in the sign of Leo at 5°.

This is a time when you perfected what you set out to do when we had the New Moon in the same sign approximately 6 months ago. If you did not work at your goals that you set, perhaps now is time to readjust or let things go. It takes work to reach this culmination point and those that started but did not continue their efforts may now fall short.

If you did the work, now is the time to reap the rewards for a job well done or an adventure orchestrated into being. This is the time to infuse this objective into your life and use what you started with enthusiasm during the New Moon in Leo last August.

When in the sign of Leo, it is important to realize that this project has been your responsibility and its success is focused on you. Even in the beginning, you knew it was up to you, and you likely didn’t ask anyone for assistance although it might not have been a bad idea. You felt you knew best and had the best intensions put in place to move ahead, which would not only advance your cause but also affect others in a positive way.

If you have a planet in close proximity to the Full Moon’s 5° in Leo position, either by conjunction or opposition, this Full Moon energy will certainly affect you. This also applies to the trine, sextile and square. The easier aspects can be used in an easy flowing manner, while the more challenging aspects will require some push to make things happen. Check which houses are involved in the connected placements and what planets (energies) are associated with these placements (including the transiting Moon).

Transiting Saturn in Pisces will be in quincunx to this position indicating some adjustment to the process. Saturn is direct at 5° currently. Saturn can make things a little tedious so you can expect some delays or obstacles to overcome while proceeding ahead.

Transiting Jupiter, which is at 6° Taurus will be square to this placement perhaps making the adjustment caused by Saturn a little more difficult to handle. Jupiter, although usually a favourable influence, can also expand the energies in place, making life a little more difficult as it amplifies Saturn. A square is difficult enough that it pushes so that we want to find a solution to overcome the adversity.

Enjoy the fruits of your labor with the energies of the Full Moon in Leo and continue your forward motion.
