We have a Full Moon in Virgo at 07:17 GMT on Friday 18th March! Carry on reading to find out why this is such a special time, plus our favourite Full Moon ritual, and the crystals we recommend for you to use.
This Full Moon is often referred to as The Hare Moon as we see amorous cavorting and spectacular boxing hares. It is a time of fertility and the perfect opportunity to act on our plans.
The energy is fussy, fastidious and can get a little anxious! That Aquarian vision we are creating..... comes a little closer as we stay grounded while allowing ourselves to dream about the world we would like to live in. It is a powerful and positive Full Moon for all Earth and Water signs, but more challenging for Fire and Air signs.
With so much to talk about with this Full Moon, here is a quick overview. Simply select the link below to go to the section you are looking for:
Why is a Full Moon important?
The night of the Full Moon represents possibility, unfolding potential and abundance as one of our New Moon intentions could be about to manifest or be on its way. From this point on we are aware of the consequences of the cycle and can make conscious choices about any further development.
Each month the Full Moon takes place in a different sign, bringing a new and different energy and theme to work with. The Full Moon always occupies the polar opposite sign to that of the Sun.
We need to spend time outside and look up at the Moon (even if it isn't visible), connect to our basic instincts and feel wild and free. Our ancestors have danced and celebrated under the light of the Full Moon throughout time and in surrendering to the present moment we are then open to receiving what is available to us right now.
Affirmation: I surrender to spirit and open my heart to infinite possibilities
We can go within to release the past, shift blocks and heal ourselves. This is easiest when we remember that forgiveness and gratitude are the major players at any Full Moon. The Full Moon is shining so brightly at this time that it is illuminating the darkness to help us see exactly what inner work needs to be done.
How will this Full Moon in Virgo affect us?
At the Full Moon, the Moon and Sun are sat directly opposite each other with the Sun illuminating the Moon. They are both in signs that are totally opposite sides of the zodiac but need to find balance and common ground. They represent opposite ends of the spectrum, neither good nor bad, just what is. This month the Sun is in Pisces and the Moon is in Virgo. We are looking to find the balance between the vision of the whole (Pisces) and the health of the small part (Virgo), between our own personal healing and that of humanity. This helps us find our flow through the process of transformation.
The energy is uptight!
How to embrace the Full Moon
We live in a world of energy, or better yet, a web of energy where all things are connected. There are no gaps in this energy, so when we shift and release lower frequencies from our energy field it creates a void that we can then consciously choose to fill with something of a higher nature, with a super-high frequency. Basically, it's out with the old and in with the new. Creating a ritual is the perfect way to work through this process. Here is our suggestion for a Full Moon Ritual:
Step 1: Forgiveness holds the releasing power and creates a void.
Forgiveness is the first step in the healing process as we have to release the past so we can live the life of our dreams. Forgiveness sets us free as when we forgive, we release the karma which binds us to a person, situation or experience and allows us to be free of it. It does not mean that we condone the actions of someone else, it just allows us to let go and move on. This is such a gift as we can release the burdens we carry and choose to do something far healthier with our energy instead.
Forgiveness affirmation: I release the past with love in my heart
Step 2: Gratitude holds the power to fill the void.
We can fill the gaps created by forgiveness with gratitude as it has such a high vibration. Gratitude is a magical attitude we can choose to have, it helps us to raise our frequency which makes us lighter and brighter and manifests more things for us to be grateful for.
Gratitude affirmation: I know that I am truly blessed and all is well in my world
Step 3: Guidance
I invite you to ask yourself some big questions under the Virgo Full Moon and then just feel the answers rise up from your heart. Use these five questions to help guide you:
Have I been of service to others?
Have I paid enough attention to the details?
Have I been worrying too much and creating negative energy?
Have I been putting myself down in any way?
Have I been overly critical of myself or others?
Step 4: Meditate
Meditation is a great tool we can look to use daily, but it can take us to new levels when we meditate and harness the energy that surrounds us during the different stages of moon cycles. Use meditation to help you clear your headspace and reframe. If you aren't sure where to start, you can watch our collection of meditation for beginners videos here.
Step 5: Use Crystals
Another phenomenal tool to harness is our crystals and their energy, they can help us at any or all stages of the Full Moon ritual. Moonstone can be used at any phase of the Lunar cycle. Selecting crystals intuitively is the best way to surround yourself with the energy you need but if you would like a starting point, here are three crystals we would recommend:
Agate
Earthy and grounded, many types of Agate are beneficial to work with at the Virgo Full Moon. Their calming and consistent energies are a brilliant ally and friend to carry with you for support at this time. Welcome harmony and rebalance with this versatile stone that calms, uplifts and promotes positive thinking.
Apatite
This powerful stone will help to maintain mental and emotional balance which is much needed when Virgo energy abounds. It clears away negativity and confusion and then stimulates the intellect to expand to support personal growth.
Mookaite Jasper
The beautiful earthy tones of this fabulous type of Jasper supports us through times of stress by absorbing negative energy, balancing divine masculine and feminine energies, and providing protection. No wonder its nurturing energy brings tranquillity and wholeness to frazzled Virgo energy!
Choose an affirmation, select the crystals you are drawn to and be prepared for this Full Moon. It's setting us up to navigate a more balanced way forward, one where we are inventive as we create and express our highest vision for the future.
Love and Full Moon blessings,
Tiggy xx
