Full Moon in Virgo February 2013 achieving your potential

Full Moon for February and how to achieve your potential during this time of heightened emotions. 

Our moon will be full tomorrow Feb 25, 2013 – 20:29 (GMT). She is a full moon in Virgo this month, so focussing on the practical side of your life and ensuring you are well grounded is ideal.

The moon has reached her fullest size and potential at this time. She rises at sunset and sets at sunrise so we are able to gaze upon her beauty all night long. Her energy is at it’s peak on the night of the full moon, although this increased energy can still be felt for three days following the full moon therefore it is an ideal time to make the most of this.

The sun and moon are opposite each other at this time and the moon reflects all of the sun’s wonderful light.  Now is a perfect time for celebrating and expressing your emotions. 

The full moon is represented by the Mother aspect of the triple goddess and bestows on us, at this time, the wisdom and maturity that the Mother Goddess represents. The Mother goddess shows us that relationships are of paramount significance at this time, and you feel a need to share, to merge, to partner, whether romantically or through other channels.

You may find that you are restless at this time of the month with all the increased energy therefore it is important to find a channel for this energy. Rip tides of emotion swing and sway during this time, so make sure you don't get carried away in the undertow. The moon energies are turbulent but highly positive now.  This is sometimes the time during an acute illness when people feel their worst because our Full Moon intensifies whatever else is going on. Often people aren't even aware that they're sick until the Full Moon hits therefore it is a good idea to be extra vigilant about listening to what your body is trying to tell you at this time. This is also an excellent time for psychological therapy because emotions seem closer to the surface than usual. You may find that you are more honest with your feelings at this time therefore it is a perfect time to express them.

The Full Moon draws all of life toward it; even the ground rises several inches when the Full Moon passes overhead! In nature plants benefit from the increased light to aid their photosynthesis. Our moon also pulls the water in our planet towards us and tides are highest at the time of the new and the full moon, when sun and moon are lined up with earth. Just as the moon pulls the tides in the oceans, it also pulls upon the water in the ground, within seeds and even within our bodies. Our moon causes moisture to rise in the earth; this in turn encourages growth within plants. The highest amount of moisture is in the soil at this time, and tests have proven that seeds will absorb the most water at the time of the full moon. Just as the plants and seeds grow at this time of the moon month, so can you grow to reach your true potential.

This is a peak time for psychic awareness and the heightened energy is sometimes a lot to deal with.  Now is the time to use your energy to finish any projects that you have started and to take any action towards increasing the happiness in your life. It is a good period to ask for a promotion at work, raising money that you are need of, finishing any DIY project in your home,  or conceiving a baby.

Enjoy this Virgo full moon, try and embrace its potential and if you are feeling a little restless, look around you and see how you can use this increased energy towards something productive. You will be glad that you got some nagging things finished once you enter the gentler cycle of the waning moon. 

How will you celebrate this full moon? Full moon blessings to you, Alison
