Virgo Full Moon

Virgo Full Moon - Wisdom in Details

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. "

— Richard Bach

Mercury turns direct this week following Monday's Virgo Full Moon (10:47 AM PST 19° Virgo/Pisces). We begin to gain important access to hidden knowledge and profound wisdom that has been seemingly obscured by the strong Neptunian/Pisces influences involved with the retrograde Mercury in Pisces. While intuition has been extremely important to navigating the cloudy environment, there has also been a significant amount of confusion to try to overcome. Mercury has returned to Aquarius, providing an important level of detachment to help us extricate ourselves from feelings of vulnerability that has resulted from the confusion. As we embrace the importance of cooperation and the profound value of becoming teachable, our perspective broadens and knowledge becomes more accessible This is truly a transformational shift in our understanding. Perception and awareness is expanded as we move through the week. The desire for excitement and adventure may keep us out on the edge, perhaps increasing a tendency to take extreme risks — for better or worse. There are challenges to our individual or private goals but also a significant amount of determination that may actually border on rigidity. In order to deal effectively with these challenges, we need to recognize the importance of looking for the greater good while also seeking to incorporate our personal goals into a broader, collaborative effort.

Idealism is strong on Sunday and the Venus-Uranus conjunction highlights erratic and unpredictable behavior. Monday's Virgo Full Moon signals the release of heightened intellectual capacity and increasing perception. Mercury stations direct, helping to reduce confusion. New lines of communication begin to open up on Tuesday. We are more open to learning new facts and receiving wisdom. We find even more access to intellectual capacity on Wednesday but it may tend to get us in over our heads. We need to be sure to look for ways to collaborate with others and work towards the greater good. We'll do better if we accept the value of working with others on Thursday. 'Cutting our own path through the wilderness' may seem exciting but won't be nearly as productive or effective as collaboration and cooperation. We gain a boost of optimism on Friday and feel more support from those closest to us. We have clearly 'turned the corner' by Saturday. Our sense of connection is enhanced within the broad realignment of effort. The challenge is to blend our personal goals with broader efforts.
