Traditionally this Full Moon was called with a large variety of names, such as Snow Moon (for in certain zones it happens at a time when the heaviest snows fall), Hunger Moon (for the scarcity of food and provisions), Worm Moon (the ground tends to soften and earthworm casts reappear), Crow Moon (when the cawing of crows heralds the end of winter), Sap Moon (signalling the time of tapping maple trees), and Crust Moon (the snow becomes crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night).
From an astroshamanic perspective this Full Moon in Virgo aligns with Manas (pure lake), the spirit keeper of Mionahils, incorporating the development and implementation of healing powers.
The effects of any Full Moon are usually experienced during the two days before and after the exact time of the Full Moon. The preceding days can challenge our conventional perspective and cause release of pent-up emotions or excess energies, while the following serve the purpose of integrating what has emerged during the climaxing time.
The general aim of a Full Moon is to bring balance between the areas where the Sun and Moon are transiting through a process that involves acknowledgment, tension, reconciliation and healing.
With the dynamic Pisces-Virgo, the integration is between collective and individual service, transcendence and manifestation, free intuition and sense of duty, and any themes related with Pisces and Virgo.
Pisces is the most mystical and boundless sign of the zodiac, surrendering to the flow of life, thriving in situations of paradoxes, confusion and bewilderment, while Virgo is technical, efficient, scrupulous, painstaking, systematic, concerned with acknowledging, discriminating and preserving resources.
Pisces is romantic, haphazard, irrational, indistinct, yet inspired and ecstatic, aligned with the visionary realm. Virgo is proficient, analytical, precise, sensible and selective, focused on the ordinary and mundane aspects of life.
The dialectic between Pisces and Virgo, being the last polar interaction of the winter season, carries the energetic climax of the entire annual cycle.
This binary exemplifies the dynamic between the whore and the virgin, the shamanic witch and the pure mother, the Gnostic or Inner Mystery and the Christian Outer Mystery, the direct connection with Spirit and the adherence to the official interpretation of scriptures.
During a Full Moon energy reaches a climax, making the entire body a vast vibrant zone eager to express and act out. This is one of the reasons why the Full Moon has always been regarded as the best time for dynamic group rituals and trance dances.
The Full Moon is a pulsating and invigorating time, unveiling the arcane mechanics of the interaction between polarities. The lunar cycle, started with the New Moon, reaches the culmination with the Full Moon.
The sign where the Moon was placed at New Moon, which in this case was Pisces, defines the basic intent. Hence, this current lunar cycle based on Pisces, features themes such as: compassion, service, unconditional love, imagination, art, sacred theatre, empathy, transcendence and trance states.
On a Full Moon whatever was conceived during the New Moon, which in this case was on 21 February 2012 , calls for direct expression and achievement. Here we may confront ourselves with the pragmatic implications of our intent.
The exact position of the Sun (18° Pisces 13’) and Moon (18° Virgo 13’) at Full Moon in your astrological chart may indicate the nature of the Sun-Moon dynamics as they apply to your individual setting.
