Tonight is the full Worm moon, in my homegirl Virgo this year. The first worm castings appear this month, small mounds of dirt that precede the crocus blooms. It’s also called the Crow moon bc this month you hear the crows making all that noise, ‘sprrrrring sprrrrrring!’ along w the blabbering squirrels and there are chickadees on my feeders every morning gossiping like 4th graders in the lunch line . . . It doesn’t feel like it yet maybe, but it’s here actually. We’re all thawing deep down.

This moon is for breaking into a start, as Pisces (flow) meets Aries (force) - like pushing against a door until you fall through it and on the other side it’ll be like The Wizard of Oz when the color-rama comes on. Close your eyes and tap your heals and want what you want, specifically in terms of all that you want to be for yourself and others:

This is the Full Moon of healing and service. Virgo understands that disease manifests itself in societies as well as in individuals. There is so much dis-ease in our world and we all need to awaken to our role as healers. The soulful, peacemaking Pisces Sun opposes the scientific, nature-based healing Virgo Moon . . . this opposition enlivens the integration of healing through transcendence and attending to bodily health.

So let’s talk a bit about Virgo, which most people consider perfectionistic, critical, analytical, organized, discriminating, scientific, empirical, and calculating. In truth, we all express our Virgo side when we strive. Virgo is the true healer of the zodiac because in its mind, if something causes pain, then it warrants attention and a cure. For Virgo, caring comes in the form of finding workable solutions to everyday problems.

This is the Full Moon to celebrate the body and take responsibility for our health - ideal conditions for radically questioning all aspects of how you deal with dis-ease. What are the psychic causes of physical illness? What are the spiritual implications of disease? What is my body trying to tell me about my life?

This Virgo Full Moon also gives us all an opportunity to make friends with our inner critic [that bitch], who can be either a helpmate or a hindrance. For those of you with strong Virgo in your charts, this is the Full Moon to tame the perfectionist living inside your head. You know… the one that says, “Nothing I do is good enough.” Those inner voices of self-doubt block the ability to act with conviction. This is the time to talk back to self-doubt and take control! Use this Full Moon to say, “This is good enough!” and get your talent out there.

Virgo knows that all life comes from star-stuff. Everything you are existed 15 billion years ago at the time of the Big Bang. Virgo and Pisces enjoy a deep connection around this realization. Pisces understands the oneness of all life through a deeply spiritual lens. Virgo understands the oneness of all life through the physical realities of cosmology, mathematics and physics. If we all experienced our bodies with this kind of integrated Virgo/Piscean conscious awareness, we would experience existent transcendent reality in every cell, in every life form. There would be no violence because everything would be holy. In Virgo’s world, holiness is achieved through transcendent embodiment, and from this state of embodied awareness one can heal almost any malady. Make no mistake about it; the mind-body connection is the most powerful medicine for healing and is the true wisdom of Virgo. The potential of the entire cosmos lives within the body.

Yeah so, like, be all AWARE and shit, ok?
