VIRGO FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE LUNASCOPE
ORDER AMID CHAOS

The Virgo Full Moon Eclipse on Tuesday, arrives at a moment of heightened global tension. With escalating conflict and uncertainty on the geopolitical stage many of us are feeling the chaos of instability, whether directly or indirectly.
While astrology cannot predict a particular conflict, it can help us understand the emotional climate we are living within.
A Full Moon Eclipse illuminates what has been splintering beneath the surface. In Virgo, the focus turns to systems, and the delicate mechanics that keep life functioning healthily.
Whether it’s our internal bodily systems, or our political, economic and financial systems, when they are under strain the cracks become more visible.
The depletion of our natural resources, the turbulent weather changes, the erosion of trust in the very institutions, and people, designed to protect stability, and now the escalating tensions in the Middle East, are intensifying the uncertainty and fear by fracturing the fragile illusion of global cohesion.
And this Virgo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is illuminating our collective anxiety, sharpening our awareness of risk, and bringing a desire for order amid chaos.
It urges us to recognise where we are in control and where we are not, and use discernment rather than react. Under this Moon, it becomes clear how much peace relies not only on policy, but on shared morality and values, accountability and restraint.
On a personal level, this lunation asks us to ground ourselves, and bring our perspective back to what is within our sphere of influence.
When the world feels this unstable, the Virgo Full Moon reminds us that small acts of integrity help us feel more grounded. Serving others, focusing on our routines, and looking after our communities matter more than ever.
This earthy Virgo Full Moon also inspires and motivates us to declutter and get our practical life under control. This is a good time to get your accounts in order, file papers, pay outstanding bills, and clear the decks before the March Equinox.
At the same time, the Pisces Sun is urging us to focus on our dreams and visions, and start taking practical and actionable steps to manifest them.
Under this eclipse, you may find a contradictory pull between the scary reality we are facing, and the opportunities and possibilites opening up, as the Virgo Full Moon pushes us to take responsibility, and the Pisces Sun pulls us to dream and create.
Once the eclipse energy has dissipated, things will not look so dark, so don’t make any rash decisions until the March Equinox, when Mercury will be direct, and things will be much clearer.
To help manage any intense feelings, Jupiter is in Cancer, reminding us of the importance of a happy and harmonious home, and what we need to do to make sure we are creating one.
It will give you the courage to speak freely and openly about your personal needs, especially if emotional turmoil has been stirring up since the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse, and you have still not been heard.
In 2007, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse occurred at a similar degree to this one, so take a look back into the past to see if some of the themes you were facing then, are happening in your life this year.
Looking back to 2007, Iran was experiencing a phase of domestic unrest, public protest and nuclear tension. Hopefully this Virgo Full Moon Eclipse will boost the courage and energy of the Iranian people to remember what it is like to live in a happy and harmonious home, and know that this reality is closer than it has ever been.
A Shamanic Full Moon Ritual to help you stay connected - the Full Moon energy is potent the day before, the day of the New Moon, and the day after.
This is the Moon for shaking out the energy of winter, as we reach the peak of spring. Discard the heavy clothing that has protected you from the cold and dance the cobwebs of winter away.
Take off your shoes and socks and walk barefoot reconnecting back to nature. Have a ‘sunbath’ and feel the heat of the warming sun on your body.
This is also a good time to write proposals, edit documents, or anything that requires focus and detailed activity and analysis.
Focus on getting your priority list sorted during the next two weeks to ensure you are on top of everything and ready to surf the Pisces new Moon wave, when the energy will be ramping up, as we spring into spring.
Under a Virgo full moon we are often inspired to try something new and exciting. Take up a hobby, do a night class, learn a second language, cooking lessons, a new skill or anything that stretches your abilities.
This is also the perfect time to pamper and cleanse yourself. Take time out to have a massage, reflexology, acupuncture, colonic hydrotherapy, flotation, detox, or anything that makes you feel special and nurtured
If you don't have the finances to spend on yourself, take a long hot bath with essential oils, give yourself a foot massage and eat a delicious home-cooked meal.
Curl up with a good book or reconnect with an old friend you haven't spoken to for ages. Find the time to love and honour yourself that will make you feel nourished and rejuvenated.
I will end this Lunascope with the wise words of Epictetus:
`’Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may make upon you, for their censures are not in your power and should not be at all your concerns.`’
