The Full Moon in Virgo is particularly dedicated to the folks who have Virgo and Pisces placements (since the sun is currently in Pisces).
Because this full moon calls for the re-evaluation of plans (Big Virgo Energy) and remaining open to alternative methods and results (Piscean "go with the flow" vibes), this is a great time to perform divination to get some clarity surrounding what your next move should be. Decode the brighter side or meaning of how things went, even if it wasn't what you hoped for, this past moon cycle. Consult your tarot cards, your spirit guides, and your ancestors. Ask for advice from a trusted friend, family member, or partner. Meditate and relax your mind to divine what the answers to your questions are. Try some water and sky scrying to search for images signalling what strategies would be wise to employ next. Make plans for the month and perform prosperity spells, which can be as simple as applying for a job. If you need it, this is a great time to try out some new healing routines for your stomach and spinal health, as these parts of the body are ruled by Virgo. Most importantly, work towards releasing your attachment to results and fear of losing control.
Here are some correspondences, or things associated with the Virgo moon, for you to work with on this full moon:
-The planet Mercury
-Crystals that promote communication, such as celestite, sodalite, lapis lazuli, and fluorite
-The throat chakra
-Earth magick: working with soil, plants, rocks etc.
-Your inner wisdom
-Manifestation activities, such as scripting and making a to-do list
-Virgo-related herbs, such as rosemary and cornflower
-Use the colors blue, black, gold and green
-The Hermit tarot card
-Release rituals connected to Virgo shadow aspects, for example: to ease up on your obsession for control and attachment to results
You can riff on this to conduct your own spellwork or symbolic act, and go with what feels right. Here's a quick example to get you started:
A Simple Spell for Surrendering Control to the Universe
You need:
Paper
Pen
Lighter
Candle, preferably blue, black, gold or green
A fire-safe bowl
Start by lighting the candle and setting intentions for your spell.
Take three deep, slow breaths.
Reflect on your accomplishments from the past month, avoiding any judgement or negative self-talk.
On a piece of paper, write down what you hope to accomplish during the current moon cycle. Try wording your goals with more flexible language that allows goals to manifest beyond the specific method and processes you had planned for. Normally, with manifestation spells, specificity is key. However, this full moon is inviting us to release concern about the details for now.
At the end of this list, write, "I ask for this and more, for whatever the universe sends my way. I trust in the wisdom of the universe. I trust in my inner wisdom."
Fold up this piece of paper and place it outside or on a window sill where it can bathe in the light of the full moon overnight.
On another scrap of paper, write down your inner critic's narrative regarding your concerns or disappointment surrounding your goal manifesting and its progress so far. Write down any negative feelings you may have about this, including the way you had planned these goals to play out, especially if it didn't turn out that way or it seems as though things won't shake out as you expected. Write down why this upsets you, why you need to have control over this, and anything else you're moved to write. Basically, vent your frustration and skepticism.
Fold up this piece of paper, hold it over the candle's flame, and let the paper catch on fire. Place the burning paper in the fire-proof bowl, and, while watching the flames curl the paper, say, "I surrender my obsession with control and my attachment to results. I am now open to receive the greater gifts that the universe has in store for me. I trust in myself, and in divine timing." Dispose of the ashes.
If you don't want to use fire, tear up the paper instead while reciting the above affirmation, and throw away the pieces at the end.
Do some moonlight gazing, if you can, as you meditate on this opening and softening you're inviting in to your body, trusting the moon to bestow you with knowledge, and the ability to be more receptive to the blessing of detours that seem to disrupt our carefully-laid plans.
Add any of the above correspondences to this spell to enhance its potency.
