Good morning friends! This morning leading into night there will be a full Moon. You can see her in all her glory tonight and I am sure most of you have seen her the past few days growing to peak fullness. She will be at peak fullness around 12:38pm this afternoon, March 9th. Get out there and soak in some of those gorgeous Moon rays tonight. Known as a “Worm” moon because for this is the time of year when spring is supposed to be making an appearance and the rainy weather would be bringing earth worms up to the surface. I almost thought we were going to get an early spring, but in true Winnipeg fashion mother nature has decided to give us several more days of snow and cold so I can’t foresee an early spring anymore at this point. Known as a Super Moon because it is closer to the earth than a normal full Moon and in fact it is the third largest Super Moon this year. In the sign of Virgo, ruled by the Mercury the planet of communication, technology and travel this is going to be one where we focus on health and wellness, organization, analyzing ourselves and others, aligning with what truly matters and deep cleaning our space. I will be spending the day packing and organizing for our big move this upcoming weekend. And then resting because I feel I need it. It is really important to do a Full Moon Ritual tonight if you haven’t already done one. I did not write a Full Moon in Virgo Ritual blog post because all of my things are still packed up as we are finally moving into our new home this weekend! It has been a long few months but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and am very much looking forward to settling in our new home right before our newest addition arrives in a few weeks. In the meantime you can look back on my past blog posts on full Moon rituals. The one thing to remember about full Moons is they are a time of letting go of that which is no longer serving you, toxic ties, bad habits and negative influences. This is also the time to manifest what you want for the next few weeks. Set your goals, focus on them, visualize them, speak them into existence. This is a really good time to focus on self care and finding ways to remain positive, especially if you find yourself particularly pessimistic. Pessimism can be all well and good, and sometimes help keep a realistic mindset but when you are borderline bitter, this is doing nothing for your manifestation and also is a turn off to the people who are around you, friends, family, coworkers etc. Perhaps positivity is something that you need to work towards and your pessimistic side is something to let go of. Virgo Moons I find are always a time when people focus on hitting the gym, eating healthy and organizing their chaotic lives. There is a health oriented aspect very much associated with Virgo. However Virgos are also quite anxious and tightly wound which sometimes allows them to let loose, and not necessarily in the healthiest of ways. When they let loose, they go hard and crazy. If you are going to let loose, do it, understand this is also part of Virgo, but try not to overdo it and try to make healthy choices as well. Use this time to make healthy choices and organize your space but also to do some deep analysis not only on others and your relationships with them but also on yourself. Recognizing our own mistakes and areas where we can improve. How you can best serve those who you love and care about, while also serving yourself and your own needs. Full Moons are a really good time to focus inwards and pamper yourself. Especially if you are feeling particularly emotional. Stay in, take a cleansing bath, do a hair and face mask, eat some yummy food and try to get a good nights sleep. This full Moon will be affecting of course those with Virgo placements, but also Mutable sign placements which include Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.

As always full Moons signify endings and new beginnings. Light is shed onto things that have been hidden in the shadows and depending on what sign it is in incredible transformation. It is also a time of heightened emotions. Be cautious of your reactions because you may act or think irrationally. This is a good time to use crystals to keep you grounded, balanced and steady. Some crystals you can use are Apatite, Sodalite, Moss Agate, Dalmation Jasper, Howlite and Serpentine . This is also an amazing time to do a full Moon ritual which month by month I post on how to perform one. We perform full Moon rituals to release and let go of toxic and negative energies and feelings. It is very therapeutic and if you can get 4 in your group, Earth, Air, Fire and Water you are a force to be reckoned with. Full Moons are also a time of deep healing and can be overwhelming. Take the time to rest if you need. People often find they are either insomniac or extra sleepy during full Moons. If you are feeling tired or not well definitely take the time to rest and recuperate. Happy full Moon friends and remember to take this time for yourself whichever way you plan to.

I wanted to also include a little tidbit on Mercury Retrograde in Pisces. Mercury goes direct today!!! It is almost over. We are currently in Mercury Retrograde’s shadow period which some may argue can be more energetically potent and effective than the actual Mercury Retrograde itself. This will last us a couple more weeks and around March 23rd things will start to move forward properly and become more clear again. We are not out of the woods yet. As with all retrogrades the planet appears to be moving backwards and cause all sorts of shenanigans during this time. Expect travel delays or cancellations, technological breakdowns, miscommunications to occur, especially over text and email, and general confusion and haziness. It is a good time to back up and triple check all your work and do some inner work on your own intuition. Be weary and vigilant still during this shadow period. I know this retrograde period has been absolutely bonkers for a lot of people. What with the whole coronavirus thing causing mass hysteria and even cancelling a lot of people’s travel plans. Even myself, I have this huge family trip planned in NORTHERN Italy for July with my entire family. Northern Italy where they are currently quarantining 16 million people due to illness. Northern Italy which has the highest outbreak in all of Europe and is absolutely in the “no travel unless necessary” zone. I am so upset and disappointed because I will not travel to Italy in the summer if things remain the way they are. I am remaining optimistic however that things will improve by then and the travel situation will be completely different by July. I feel by the time Mercury is truly out of its shadow period we will know more about this whole illness situation and see major improvements. I still foresee it dying out and not necessarily disappearing all together, because I feel like covid-19 is just going to be one of those new illnesses we will need to deal with from this point forward, but the hysterics and the travel confusion will definitely improve. Mark my words, I truly predict that is how things will end up. Be hopeful people. But even as I was writing this blog this morning I completely deleted the whole thing by accident without saving it, an hours worth of work just gone. Damn Mercury Retrograde, we are definitely not out of the woods and as I said before, remain vigilant for just a couple more weeks.

I also just wanted to take this time to toot my own horn for a minute. At the beginning of the year I wrote a blog post on the New Year, what it was going to bring and her big planetary aspect Saturn conjunct Pluto that was going to be wreaking havoc. This included natural disasters (Australian fires), political issues and scandals (a big USA election, World War III), and issues with a potential virus outbreak (Covid-19), stock market highs and lows and China being at the root cause of a lot of these problems. I am not the only one who has made this prediction but the more the year goes on the more these predictions are coming true. This aspect will be until the end of the year so I just wanted to update y’all and say that we are not out of the woods yet. This year has been and will definitely continue to be interesting. Hang in there friends! What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, smarter and wiser. It is all a learning process so don’t get too discouraged. As for the stock market, I know many people are upset and worried about it which I can understand. However I wish I had better news as Taurus has moved into Venus where it has also joined Uranus. This makes for more unpredictability and volatility. We will need to wait and ride this all out. False feelings of fear will make people act out irrationally. Patience and keeping a level head will be imperative during this time.
