Bearing Fruit: Structure & Re-Vision with the FULL Moon in Virgo
This weekend’s Full Moon in Virgo draws our attention to the structures underpinning our lives, commitments and how we spend our time. This is a time to take a close look at the details of our endeavours, so that we can move forward with awareness and integrity.
Virgo’s Full Moon focuses on the digestive system, so any imbalances will be felt more acutely at this time. It’s a great time for cleansing - can you create a mini detox retreat for yourself this weekend?
February’s Full Moon harks back to the New Moon in Virgo of last September. Structures or adjustments you put in place then are now up for review. Are they saving you time, or causing confusion? Virgo’s inclination towards efficiency gently nudges us towards making decisions which will support the flow of our routines and proportional distribution of tasks and responsibilities. Given Mercury’s recent retrograde, now is the time to harvest any findings which have surfaced over the last month. Is this working? Could this be improved? are questions you can apply to every scenario now, to discover whether they have room to grow or have simply run their course.
A grounding anchor can be found by reconnecting with your primary focus: how and where you want to be spending your time and energy. Virgo is all about small adjustments for maximum impact, and it has a natural affinity for creating conditions in which physical, mental and spiritual health can flourish. Creating small and regular routines, like meditating for ten minutes each day, are more productive than fantasizing about distant ideals of perfection. Find a way to track your progress and celebrate yourself for consistently showing up.
Though pragmatic, Virgo’s clear sight is best used in service of your broadest and most idealistic visions. Activating more conscious awareness of our relationship with the Earth, this moon is ideal for nature-based rituals, tending budding plants and other forms of gardening and harvesting anything that is ready to come to fruition. As we innovate to create alignment across the board, it is more important than ever to make sustainability and adaptability our priorities in every venture. Becoming aware of ourselves as connected to a vast web, we can feel more resourced to lean into mystery, ambiguity and creativity from a place of trust and discernment.
How Luna Rhythms Yoga can support you during this Virgo New Moon:
At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the lunar cycles and solar seasons teaches techniques from the ancient yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra in alignment with the energies of the day, season and cycle. This Virgo New Moon is the perfect time to review the structures and habits you have in place to ensure they are nourishing, resilient, and aligned with your values.
Here are some suggestions for a detox ritual practice you can create to support you feeling cleansed, nourished and ready to step forward:
Bring lightness into your digestive system through a cleansing diet, perhaps include some millet soup, take lighter meals or two meals instead of three this weekend.
Chant the mantra RAM for igniting your solar plexus fire to fuel your digestion. If you are a regular yoga practitioner, the Bhastrika and Kapalabhati pranayamas are also great for this!
Anoint yourself with sacred oils, including Cedarwood, Lemon, Wild Orange and Blue Tansy, for a sacred connection to the Earth and the Divine.
Celebrate your achievements in a practical way by journaling your gratitudes and successes, knowing that you are beautiful, joyful and supported!
With love,
