I’ve been sitting here for quite some time trying to think about
how to approach the subject of this war and how to talk about it.
There’s no way to make good news out of war — there just isn’t.
It is the age of the unthinkable. — Carolyn Myss
With each Full Moon we receive new opportunities for manifestation, reflection, and realization. Every Full Moon brings a special gift of energetic wisdom based on the zodiac sign that it occurs. Alignment with one’s body, mind, and spirit is Virgo’s most important offering.
The above quote by Carolyn Myss depicts our struggle with the ongoing global incoherence of our day-to-day realities. How do we discuss the unthinkable, that which only creates abhorrence and confusion within our bodies, minds, and spirits? As so many spiritual teachers remind us, and what resonates most to me, is that it’s up to each of us to overcome our inner and external fears and conflicts before our outer world can become peaceful. In other words, and in Virgo speak, we must heal our individual body, mind, and spirit so we can realize our true nature — love.
Peace doesn’t require two people; it requires only one. It has to be you.
The problem begins and ends there. — Byron Katie
Let’s explore other Virgoan archetypes for additional insight, such as, purity and devotion — two key significations that describe the seeker who strives for perfection. Additionally, Virgo is ruled by Mercury and is, as a result, related to the mind and analytical critical thinking (to get to the pure essence of the issue).
Many of today’s scientists and teachers are informing us that the function of our mind is to create coherence between our thoughts and the reality that we wish to experience, whether it be perfect health or some other longing. This requires conscious, creative, and focused thinking. Hence, controlling our mentality seems worth the effort since physics has long-ago proven that concentrated energy gives life to matter.
Once our mentality is aligned with love, peace, and gratitude we connect to our true essence and our bodies naturally respond. Sometimes, however, higher vibrations can result in a healing crisis (whether the focus is on a spiritual practice, the food we feed our bodies, or our thought processes) as the body and our soul attempts to liberate us from years and sometimes even lifetimes of negative thinking and behaviors.
Neglecting the purification and healing of the above three Virgo elements in our life can also precipitate an inner and/or external crises. If a crisis is interpreted as something happening to us, it can lead to confusion and feelings of victimization, another key Virgo theme. With all Virgo’s striving for purity and perfectionism it is easy to forget, that at our core we are divine beings, and therefore, already pure and perfect.
This Full Moon makes a benefic aspect to the planet Pluto. As you may recall, Pluto is associated with power dynamics and deep-transformative change. Simultaneously, this lunation is making a challenging aspect with the planet Neptune, which speaks to possible emotional dynamics around family, our vocation, and work-life-balance. Do you need to empower yourself and pursue a healthier career? Are you in need of transforming and deepening your devotional practice? Is there a healing opportunity that has recently come to your attention?
Take time during this Full Moon (March 16 –18) to feel into where you would like to transform your life. Reevaluate the areas needing your attention. Pay special attention to your nutritional requirements, thought processes, and spiritual needs. Try not to belabor details, overanalyze, or become too critical — be gentle, kind, and loving to yourself and others.
