Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse Ceremony (Pisces Season Full Moon in Virgo)

The Virgo Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse during Pisces season invites us to explore the delicate balance between science and spirituality. This moon calls us to examine the chaos and disorder in our lives—whether emotional, environmental, or intellectual—and decide whether we need to clean it up or surrender to the chaos. It's a powerful time for introspection, as it is the last moon of the astrological year when we consider Aries as the beginning of the Zodiac. As we approach the Spring Equinox, this full moon offers a chance to take stock of the year, re-evaluate our beliefs, and purify our routines to better align with our spiritual truths. It’s an invitation to ground ourselves before a new cycle begins, honoring both what is true for us and what may no longer serve us.
