6 Grounding Ways To Use The Virgo Full Moon To Get Oh-So-Organized

Stop, drop, and tune in to your mental state. How are you doing…really? There's a lot going on in the world right now that feels scary and out of our control. It's a frustrating time for humanity, to put it mildly, which can stir up feelings of helplessness. Enter the 2022 Virgo full moon, which can act as a supportive beacon. Generous Virgo is the sign of selfless service, but it also rules wellness and self-care. Moon Mission: Finding a healthy balance between giving to others and giving to yourself.

With this full moon arriving two days before the vernal equinox (i.e. March 18), the timing is perfect to focus on that equilibrium. Equinox means "equal night," and with the Sun on the equator, every time zone around the globe is receiving the same fair share of light. This unifying vibe fits perfectly with modest, caring Virgo, the benevolent sign that Mother Teresa was born under. 

There are so many people in need right now, from the Ukrainian refugees who lost their entire worlds in a shocking matter of days. We're still dealing with a pandemic and the personal and economic fallout from that. Homelessness is at an all-time high in the United States, and the opioid crisis rages on. With the 2022 Virgo full moon opposing empathic, sacrificial Neptune, we can't help but feel the weight of human suffering, no matter how closely it touches our actual lives. 

The 2022 Virgo full moon amplifies the urge to do something. If you want to make a donation or raise funds, here is a list of organizations that are helping Ukrainian refugees. Here is also an article from CNBC with a list of the top-rated charities to help with the Ukrainian relief effort.

Others may adopt the mantra "Charity begins in the home" and find ways to support the people closest to you. 

Now for a "matching campaign" that the 2022 Virgo full moon endorses: For every act of service, do one act of self-care. This can be as simple as taking a power nap instead of chugging more coffee, going for a walk with a friend, or taking time to prepare a healthy meal. 

Remember that it's not selfish to keep living your life—in fact, that's an act of preservation. Stopping your own progress will not likely change the horrifying circumstances our fellow humans are enduring (and sadly, have always been). 

Have you been ignoring messy piles and overstuffed closets? Seize the opportunity to bring some much-needed order to your court. If you're one of the three people on the planet who hasn't heard the name Marie Kondo, Google the Japanese tidying expert now or binge on replays of her Netflix show. Kondo's holistic approach to decluttering includes thanking every room before you clean it (and every object before you let it go) and only keeping things that "spark joy."

Procrastination is the enemy of progress! Yet, there's always a valid emotional experience going on underneath it all. Virgo's analytical powers can help you pierce the veil. Write down anything in your life you've been putting off. (This zodiac sign loves a list.) What's really stopping you? Maybe your heart isn't in it, and you need to save the project for another time. Or maybe you simply don't know where to start. Try to identify the first steps, like mapping out a budget—and figuring out where to find the funds—or reading over some paperwork. Commit to moving the needle at the 2022 Virgo full moon. Try to make this "discovery process" as comfortable as possible. Bring a notebook to your favorite nook and write your master list while you nibble on a nourishing snack.

Random acts of kindness, no matter how small, are de rigueur when the service-oriented 2022 Virgo full moon lights the skies. It's little surprise that Mother Teresa was born under this benevolent star sign. In her words, "We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do." This is a wonderful reminder that there are plenty of ways to give that don't cost money or require copious amounts of time.
