Restless and hazy
Time for some Spring Cleaning
On March 9, 2020 at 12:47 pm EST, not only do we have a Virgo Full Moon opposing the Sun in Pisces, it's also a super moon, meaning the moon is the closest it can be to the Earth.
This might not be visually noticeable, but it can have a big effect astrologically (especially for Moon ruled Cancer sun or rising folks). Not only do we have a powerful moon in organized, earthy Virgo, but Virgo's ruler Mercury is switching gears and reversing it's retrograde. In astrology terms, Mercury is Stationing Direct, meaning that night Mercury Retrograde is over! But don't celebrate just yet, the days around Mercury changing directions can be bumpy because, from our vantage point, it appears Mercury has stopped moving all together. Obviously that's just an optical illusion due to our orbits, but it means a lot astrologically. This day could feel extra discombobulated, mixed with anxiety and anticipation from Virgo to get on with things already. Instead of trying to charge ahead with this Full Moon, take it as a chance to do some final emotional and practical Spring Cleaning and releasing before the Spring Equinox and Aries Season.
How to Tap into the Virgo Energy
Virgo loves organization and lists. List what you want to achieve, list what's getting in the way, list what's come up during this Retrograde. If procrastination and lack of accountability is something that's been preventing you from getting things done, look into finding an AcountabiliBuddy or an Accountability Coach. And, lucky for you, I just happen to be one! Click here to schedule a free consultation and see if we're a good match!
Another way to tap into Virgo's energy is to get into a good routine. Schedules and planners are your key to success if you feel like you've been using your time inefficiently. Once you create your ideal schedule, put it in your phone and create labeled alarms to remind you. When an alarm goes off, put down what you're doing and switch gears immediately. Virgo loves willpower!
Health is another area that Virgo rules, and with spring on its way and flu season in full swing, you might want to explore a high-nutrient cleanse. Try a Meatless Monday (since this moon falls on a Monday!) and pack your day with lots of veggies in hydrating smoothies, soups, and herbal teas. Connect with Virgo's earthy, harvest energy and give thanks for the abundance we can easily access at our local market.
Capricorn Stellium
Going along with this Earth energy, we still have a ton of planets in Capricorn – Mars, Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn to be exact. This helps us ground this energy into a focused path if we apply ourselves. Jupiter is closely influencing this Full Moon, as it's in a trine to the moon and a sextile to the sun, while Mars and Pluto are more distantly in the same relationship. Jupiter brings good luck and expansion to anything it touches, so we can see this as a blessing, especially if we tune into the Virgo energy productively.
Pisces Influence
The Sun is hanging out with Neptune in Pisces, bringing a dreamy, spacey, foggy energy. The positive is that this can support us in the last bit of processing as most of Mercury's retrograde and the last New Moon was in Pisces. Neptune can help us connect to our creative, spiritual side one more time in this watery Pisces space, so we can bring our dreams forward as Mercury stations direct and the Full Moon shines down on them. On the negative side, we can be more paranoid, anxious and confused, which isn't being helped with Mercury standing still. Don't be hard on yourself if you need a nap. Again, lists can be your best friend. Get your ideas, anxieties, and plans out of your head and onto paper and you will feel much better.
Tarot Card for this Moon
Illustrating this energy perfectly is our card for the Full Moon: 2 of Pentacles. Pentacles is a fitting suit for Virgo since they both are connected to the element of Earth. This guy might be your #mood right now – ungrounded, chaotic, and restless, with too my balls in the air at once. He and you both need to straighten out your priorities and figure out what's deserving of your full attention and what needs to go on the back burner. My best advice? I'll say it one final time:

And More Lists
Overall, this is a mixed bag. It might be a bit uncomfortable and restless, but channel your energy well and get some structure, and you'll make it through just fine.
If you're looking for some more structure in your spiritual life, I got you! I'm opening up my Online Coven: Spiral Within for a limited time beginning next week. We use the eight pagan holidays (Solstices, Equinoxes, and the 4 “cross quarters” in between) to sync our inner world with the outer world through guided meditations, journal prompts, an active Facebook group and so much more. Learn about the 8 pagan holidays here and Spiral Within here.
