Happy Full Worm SuperMoon in Virgo, March 9th, 2020 March 12, 2020 11:53

Happy Belated Full Moon!
According to the Old Farmer's Almenac, "This full Moon traditionally goes by the name Worm Moon, which refers to the fact that earthworms and grubs tend to emerge from their winter dormancy at this time of year, marking a sure sign of spring!"  This full moon also landed on the same day that Mercury went direct, so there was double reason to celebrate!  Virgo is ruled by Mercury so many things came to light during this full moon.

 

Here's what my favorite astrologists have to say about this full moon:

I chose Fire Agate for this full moon's stone because I went rock hounding for them on the full moon with my partner.  We found a few really nice ones we plan to cut into cabochons to make jewelry.  We also found a half a bucket full of specimens to sell.  We climbed and circled a small mountain top, gathering Fire Agates along the way.  Fire Agate is a super grounding and motivating stone.  It stimulates chi, giving the wearer a boost of energy.  It works with the lower Chakras, Root, Sacral and Solar Plexus.  Fire Agate is very protective, it creates a safety shield around the wearer that deflects negativity.  FIre Agate is very calming and soothing.  It inspires passion and increases labido.  It helps to increase intuition and spirituality.  Fire Agate is a stone of integrity.  It helps to overcome bad habits, patterns and addictions.  Fire Agate inspires courage and reduces fear.  It overcomes negativity and heals anger.  Fire Agate is helpful for healing traumas.

I chose hedghog as this lunar month's spirit animal because I spent some time with two baby female hedgehogs during the Tucson Gem Show.  Their mom, Rica, booked a room in our Air B & B right after she adopted them. They are the cutest and sweetest creatures!  One is light brown and the other dark black so she named them Salt n Pepper.   Rica also works the Tucson Gem Show and we became fast friends.  We get to visit Rica and the hedghogs in a few days on our way out of Arizona.  I'm really excited!  According to, thesecretofthetaro.com, "The hedgehog tells you to stand up and take action. It doesn’t matter whether people believe you're capable or not.  Do not curl up in self-pity when people fail to appreciate you. You don’t owe anyone any experience.  Just like the hedgehog, use your personal space to unleash your full potential. You have many gifts and talents that the world can benefit from. The hedgehog spirit guides you to share with those who need you.  The hedgehog is in a class of its own. Similarly, be true to your nature. Don’t be hurt when those around you don’t seem to understand you.  People don’t have to see your intentions for you to succeed. Whether they appreciate you or not, go ahead and do the right thing anyway.  The hedgehog spirit will guide you to success.  By its connection to the earth, the hedgehog indicates fertility. You can be inspired by this to unleash the creativity of your very fertile mind.  Many cultures in Asia associated the hedgehog with productivity. For example, the ancient inhabitants of Iran viewed this animal as a symbol of abundance in the agricultural fields.  In such cultures, this animal was considered a power animal. They connected it to the vitality and energy exuded by the sun.  Indeed, the picture becomes clearer when you think of the hedgehog spikes looking very similar to the rays of the sun.  The hedgehog is largely a nocturnal animal. This connects it to the powers of intuition and psychic ability. Spiritually, we connect this to the ability to have visions and prophetic dreams."

I hope everyone enjoyed this full moon in Virgo!  I was called to get outside and dig in the dirt for Fire Agates and I hope you all did something outside in nature as well.  Love and light to everyone!
