The full moon in Virgo is the last full moon of winter, and of this astrological season. Every full moon affects us differently, due to its sign and the planets that are in play. During the Virgo full moon, also referred to as the snow moon, we can release any thoughts or beliefs that don’t align with our values. This period encourages us to balance our logic and intuition, and motivates us to focus on ourselves rather than others. As we delve into our thoughts, we become more determined to manifest our dreams into concrete realities. When aspecting different planets, it has more of a story to unravel.

✨Full Moon Rituals✨

We can set goals for ourselves and how we want to improve our lives, such as by finding more happiness or peace of mind. It guides us to think about our interactions and how we can heal blocks, wounds, and traumas that prevent us from making deeper and more authentic relationships with others, ourselves, and the world around us. Below is seven moon rituals that you can do on your own to help you manifest positive changes in your life.

🌕 Cleanse your space
- If you're looking for a way to let go of any negative energy that's been hanging around, try smudging with sage or burning an incense. The smoke can cleanse your body, home, mind and soul.

🌕 Say an affirmation
- Full moon rituals are a great way to set intentions and attract positivity in your life.

🌕 Light a candle
- White candles are a great choice for any ritual as these will get rid of bad things that were created in the darkness of our life.

🌕 Journaling
- Journaling is a great way to get your thoughts out fo your head and onto paper. The full moon is a great time to reflect on the things that are aligned with your energy.

🌕 Practice Yin Yoga
- Yoga is a great way to stretch and relax your body. Practicing yin yoga involves holding stretches for long periods of time so helps the mind and body slow down to fully feel the benefits of what the full moon brings.

🌕 Meditate
- The full moon is a powerful time to meditate and connect with your intentions. It's an ideal time to set up the right mindset for your rituals, and align yourself with what you want to accomplish.

✨Downward Facing Dog✨

Start on all fours - wrists under shoulders, knees under hips, spread the fingers.

Tuck toes and lift the pelvis towards the ceiling, walk feet a step back to elongate the pose if required.

Imagine chest coming towards thighs.

Feet are hip distance apart, lengthen the spine.

Work on bringing heels down towards the mat, bend knees if needed - to ensure length in the spine is not compromised.

Option to 'pedal' feet, coming up onto the tippi toes of one foot and bringing heel down towards mats with the other, then swapping over.

Then come to stillness and relax into this pose and enjoy!
