The March full moon is called the Worm Moon, with earthworm castings beginning to reappear in the soil. The moon will rise at sunset, peak at midnight and set at sunrise all over the world, no matter your time zone.
Sun and moon oppose one another in foggy Pisces and exacting Virgo. These archetypes narrate dreams vs. reality, rest vs. movement, relaxation vs. work. Pisces rules fantasy and intoxication; Virgo rules the rational, waking mind. Pisces dissipates in clouds; Virgo chases her tail in dizzying circles of anxiety. How to remain grounded and present while we sink below in Pisces’ mermaid cove?
The Full Moon in Virgo brings focus to the murkiness of Pisces Season. Virgo helps us plan and analyze. This is an opportunity for us to be precise and productive, both in work and in our daily life. It is also an opportunity to examine the natural tension between needing/wanting to do things and just being plain old exhausted.
If you’re like me, you get easily overwhelmed just by going out to run errands. Let’s listen to our minds and bodies and stay home if that feels right. Read your energy and make accommodations to your schedule. So much of the Virgo-Pisces axis is simply about this, learning when to act and when to rest. We can experience headaches or fatigue if we push through and ignore the call to rest. That’s what Pisces Season is all about, exhaling after another crazy cosmic journey through the zodiac.
This full moon is not just about work, but also service, including service to ourselves in the form of health and wellness. Virgo does not allow us to neglect ourselves, not without consequences!
No more burn out. No more rage. No more forcing ourselves to do things we don’t want to do. Walk way with your head held high. You know what you need to do. It’s all about mental health babe.
Coinciding with this full moon is the magical transition of Saturn from Aquarius to Pisces – stay tuned for more y’all!! The closest aspect to the moon herself is a supportive trine from Uranus in Taurus. This will keep us on our toes and deliver highly unexpected blessings. Get fucking pumped.
Here we are beneath the full moon, one foot on earth and the other quickly turning translucent, pulled by an unseen force to the farthest star. In our toes the fishes swim in rings, urging us toward the ocean’s rocky depths. You dream of fantastical suspension, of being mere vapor in the vacuum, and soon you will become exactly that.
