Full Moon in Virgo - Adopt a new detox habit!

Hi, it’s Keiko. 

After approximately three weeks in retrograde, Mercury returned to its prograde motion on February 21st, and now all ten celestial bodies are in prograde motion! 

The Mercury retrograde period, which was a series of rethinking, redoing, and repositioning of things, came at a perfect time for Power Wishes didn’t it?  Thank you so much to all of you who shared your reminder Power Wishes on Instagram ♪ 

A series of events related to the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) is worth mentioning as evidence of “getting a fresh start” as a result of the Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, the sign which represents the Air Era. 

The former chairman of the JOC, made a comment that could be taken as derogatory to women right after the start of Mercury retrograde.  After a series of back and forth events, a new chairperson was finally selected on February 18th.  It’s not uncommon for politicians and celebrities to make ‘gaffes' during Mercury retrograde, but this time it was linked to Aquarius. 

And, Aquarius is a sign that hates discrimination more than anything else. 

It goes without saying that Aquarius disapproves of discrimination based on age, gender, nationality, birth, and upbringing, but it is also disapproves of those in positions of power taking advantage of those in weak positions, such as ordering parties and receiving parties.  And it reacts particularly strongly against gender discrimination. 

Since Jupiter, the planet responsible for starting social movements, and Saturn, the planet that creates rules of the times, are in Aquarius, gender neutrality is going to be the default in all situations in the future. 

The Full Moon in Virgo is a turning point for “finishing up” and making adjustments.

We are now in the middle of an uninterrupted “ten celestial bodies in prograde motion period” which will last all the way until April 27th!  This two month period also includes the Astrological New Year on March 20th.  How should we make the most of this two month period which falls on either side of the start of the Astrological New Year? 

Well, first there’s the Full Moon in Virgo. 

Every year, during the month-long period before the Astrological New Year comes a Full Moon in Virgo and a New Moon in Pisces, which act as a month of purification and release as we approach the New Year.  In particular, this year’s Full Moon in Virgo is asking us how we can adjust ourselves in the new era. 

How do you incorporate the power of the Full Moon in Virgo as your regulating force?  Here are a few points to keep in mind. 

Virgo is a sign that excels at cutting down.  Detoxification and weight loss are also it’s strong points. 

Now that staying at home has become the norm, each and every one of us has been forced to build a new lifestyle, including new ways to exercise and communicate. 

Also, what adjustments can you make in order to make your life more efficient and your body more healthy?  Since Virgo is particularly good at making pinpoint improvements, now is the perfect time to think specifically about these points. 

Virgo teaches us that the foundation of fortune is only possible when we have good health and a regular routine.  This Full Moon will be very important because the regulating power of Virgo is also beneficial for partnerships and work.  

Be sure to take the time to think about the above mentioned points and write a Power Wish that takes full advantage of the powers of the Full Moon in Virgo.
