It’s time to ask yourself: Are my everyday habits and routines setting me up for success?

Sure, there are no planets retrograde right now, but chances are, February’s astrology has stirred up some of your darkest desires and fears thanks to Pluto in Aquarius forming planetary connections it hasn’t made since the 1700s. Now, you’re able to process what was recently illuminated and apply any accompanying wisdom under the full moon in Virgo (also called the Snow Moon) on February 24, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. EST. In short, this lunation is all about creating systems and structures that are practical, helpful, and sustainable.

Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind, Virgo distills, edits, and refines information. In keeping with that energy, this full moon in Virgo encourages you to consider what areas of your life could use upgrading and fine-tune accordingly.

This lunation is all about creating systems and structures that are practical, helpful, and sustainable.

As the full moon in Virgo arrives, the sun sits in the opposite zodiac sign of Pisces, which creates a push-pull between themes of discernment, analysis, and organization (Virgo), on the one hand, and surrender, sacrifice, and trust (Pisces), on the other. Critical information may be shared in the surrounding days, and this is the prime time to make changes to your daily habits and routine. Virgo knows that the secret to bringing your desires to life resides in the small behaviors you choose to engage in, day in and day out.

This full moon can also bring a moment of culmination to something you’ve been working on for quite some time—perhaps something you set in motion around September 15, 2023, under last year’s new moon in Virgo.

What is the astrological meaning of a full moon?

When a full moon occurs, the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, and also sit in opposite zodiac signs, across the sky from each other. The moon appears at its brightest, which is why astrologers associate this part of the moon’s cycle with illuminating topics or pieces of information that were previously obscured.

A full moon also marks the halfway point of the monthly lunar cycle, which is why, in astrology, it symbolizes a turning point, moment of culmination, or point of release and letting go. Whereas a new moon is a time to set new intentions, a full moon is typically associated with those intentions materializing or coming to light.

What can you expect from the February 2024 full moon in Virgo?

This year’s full moon in Virgo forms a bevy of significant connections with other planets in the sky. For starters, it sits directly across the sky from the sun, Mercury, and Saturn, which are all positioned in ethereal Pisces. This creates a strong push-and-pull feeling between our fantasies and what’s rooted in reality.

With the moon’s connection to Mercury, in particular, hidden information may be revealed, or you could become more aware of an impending conversation you need to have. Saturn’s influence encourages maturity, but also brings a sobering moment, asking you if you’re really putting in the daily work to achieve the goals you’ve set. You may have to get real about what is feasible as you reassess the next steps on your path.

Hidden information may be revealed, or you could become more aware of an impending conversation you need to have.

There’s good news, though, as the full moon in Virgo also mingles with lucky Jupiter in Taurus, offering support for making the changes necessary to bring about your dreams. Despite the reality check you might experience during this lunation, you’ll probably still feel optimistic about what lies ahead. (You’re also just coming off a semi-rare meeting of Venus and Mars on February 21 that promises to fill you with creativity and inspiration.)

Note that the conversations that arise under this full moon could also offer a bit of foreshadowing. The setup in the sky teases a major astrological event next week, when the sun, Mercury, and Saturn all meet up at the same degree of Pisces, on February 28. Tune into your intuition and look out for surprising synchronicities: What happens today could help you make a commitment related to responsibility… and leveling up.

What will the February 2024 full moon in Virgo bring for every zodiac sign?

Aries

Here comes the recognition you’ve been waiting for, Aries. The full moon in Virgo highlights your sixth house of daily routine and responsibility. You’ve reached your limit with a personal or professional obligation—perhaps you just finished a big presentation or a fundraiser event for a loved one—and now it’s time for others to acknowledge how much effort this required of you. In any case, you’ll be craving rest.

You’ll want to prioritize your health and well-being by booking a massage or saying no to an invite so you can spend the evening reading. You’re feeling grateful for the shift in your daily responsibilities and to have more spaciousness in your everyday life.

Your full moon self-care practice: Times of transition create room for changing your routine or habits. Pick something you’ve wanted to incorporate into your daily life (like a morning walk or evening meditation), and bring it into the mix under this full moon.

Taurus

Under the February 2024 full moon in Virgo, your dreams are becoming a reality, Taurus. This moon lights up your fifth house of creativity, romance, and pleasure, bringing your attention to a passion project or romantic relationship. Perhaps you’re finally ready to redesign your website or launch your first online course, or maybe someone shows up to lend the hand you needed to achieve a goal.

In matters of the heart, if you’re dating, you may feel ready to express some deeper feelings or explore where a connection is headed. And if you’re partnered, you could be feeling nostalgic for the passion that initially drew you to your significant other.

Your full moon self-care practice: Take yourself out to dinner, or plan a fun evening with friends doing something you enjoy. This is an important moment to bask in the gratitude you have for the life you’ve cultivated.

Gemini

You’re ready to move on, Gemini. The full moon lands in your fourth house of home, family, and foundations, pushing an emotional family situation to its climax. You might need to set (or reinforce) boundaries with family members or a lover. You’re tired of continuing patterns that keep you stagnant and are ready to make a change.

While you’re sorting through sensitive and potentially triggering waves in your personal life, your professional life is also experiencing a lot of attention and action. You may be up for a new role or promotion, or feel ready to move on from your current job.

Your full moon self-care practice: Do a deep clean of your home. Scrub every corner, and dust every nook and cranny. Cleaning up and tending to your physical space can help support your emotional healing under these moonbeams.

Cancer

You’re ready to share what’s on your mind, Cancer, as the full moon in Virgo moves through your third house of communication, learning, and contracts. An ongoing negotiation may reach an agreement, or perhaps you’re feeling up to having more serious discussions about your future.

If you’ve been learning a skill (like, say, baking or playing guitar), this may also mark a moment of maturation and achievement in your ongoing development.

Your full moon self-care practice: Setting boundaries may not be fun, but under this lunation, you’ll benefit from expressing your needs and desires. Your communication skills and discernment are reliable today, and speaking your truth can bring relief.

Leo

An ongoing financial matter is coming to a close, Leo. As the full moon activates your second house of income, resources, and livelihood, you could gain clarity about a new work opportunity or promotion and how it’ll impact your career path.

This lunation can also coincide with you making a major purchase—like that under-desk treadmill you’ve had your eyes on—or even settling some debt. Or, someone in your life could surprise you with a thoughtful gift. At the same time, you’re also feeling more confident in the unique talents and skills you bring to the table.

Your full moon self-care practice: Abundance is a mindset, and if you’ve drifted into scarcity territory, this full moon invites you to look around and appreciate all the positive things, big and small, in your world. Having people to support you, a warm bed to sleep in at night, and a morning coffee are all reasons to be grateful.

Virgo

You’re done with excuses, Virgo. The full moon in your sign illuminates your first house of self, identity, and ambitions. Your relationships are under review, and it’s time for you to share your side of the story and level out the playing field. If you’ve been too self-sacrificing, this lunation urges you to assert your needs and boundaries.

With the moon moving through your sign, you could also experience a personal revelation that leaves you feeling sensitive yet grateful for your own growth.

Your full moon self-care practice: Think back to September 15, when there was a new moon in Virgo. What were you initiating or focused on around that time? Have any of your goals come to fruition? Take time to witness your personal and professional accomplishments from the past six months.

Libra

It’s time to let go, Libra. The full moon stirs up activity in your 12th house of the subconscious mind, closure, spirituality, and solitude. You may be closing out a cycle—perhaps ending a relationship or coming to terms with a habit you need to kick—and this can feel overwhelming.

As you move through a season of healing, you’ll find support and answers from within when you make time for rest and solitude. Allowing yourself to feel the full spectrum of emotions will expedite your healing.

Your full moon self-care practice: Resist your urge to be the social butterfly, and recharge your social battery instead. Rest is necessary now to facilitate more stability and balance.

Scorpio

You may have news worth sharing, Scorpio. As the full moon lands in your 11th house of community, friends, and hopes and dreams for the future, there’s celebratory energy in the air. A goal you’ve worked tirelessly toward may reach an exciting turning point—maybe you secure an investor or land your first piece of press. Or, you may just have some fun plans scheduled with friends and people who make you feel seen.

This is also an aligned time to share your ideas and passion projects with a larger audience and to ask for support from your network—luck is on your side!

Your full moon self-care practice: Call up a friend you haven’t heard from in a while. You don’t have to wait to schedule a FaceTime or plan a time to connect. Just reach out to let them know how grateful you are for them, or leave them a sweet voicemail expressing your appreciation.

Sagittarius

You’re so over other people’s projections, Sagittarius. The February 2024 full moon in Virgo shines a light on your 10th house of accomplishments, public reputation, career, and milestones. If you’ve felt bogged down by other people’s expectations of you and where your life *should* be headed, today you can break free from the feeling that you need to live for others.

You’re also reaching a new status—whether that’s at work or in your social life. Manifestations that you put out into the world six months ago are materializing before your eyes, and you’re finally receiving the recognition you deserve.

Your full moon self-care practice: Make a list of things you feel like you should do or have to do but that ultimately don’t spark a sense of excitement within you. Next to each one of those items, write the name of someone who expects that of you. Then, rip up the paper and throw the pieces into the garbage outside your home.

Capricorn

You’re craving new scenery, Capricorn. The full moon moves through your ninth house of travel, wisdom, perspective, beliefs, and education. Whether it’s a physical change of scenery or a mental shift, this lunation delivers a reality check through new information and experiences. You might be on a trip of a lifetime, or perhaps you’ve just finished booking your travel plans.

This full moon can also mark a moment of you sharing your expertise through publishing, podcasting, or broadcasting, or otherwise receiving more attention for your wisdom, skills, and unique voice and perspective.

Your full moon self-care practice: It’s time for you to do a little bibliomancy (a spiritual practice using books for divination). Think of a question about a life topic on which you’d like some guidance, and then pick up the book you’ve been meaning to read for the past six months. Flip through the pages randomly, stop on a page, and read the first passage that sticks out to you. Interpret this as insight and advice from the universe.

Aquarius

You’re making amends and clearing your debts, Aquarius. The full moon stirs up activity in your eighth house of shared resources and vulnerability. You’re more in tune with your feelings, making this a powerful time to extend yourself or someone else compassion and forgiveness.

This full moon may also coincide with feelings of grief, shame, or loss: You’re closing one chapter so another can unfold. At the same time, this energy can also appear very matter-of-factly and have you paying down some financial debt or engaging in discussions with a partner about your financial plan.

Your full moon self-care practice: Be honest with yourself about your hidden desires and parts of your shadow self that you actively reject. There is magick in reclaiming and accepting these pieces of yourself and your soul.

Pisces

Your relationships are being tested, Pisces. The February 2024 full moon in your opposite sign of Virgo activates your seventh house of one-one-one connections and contracts. Practically, a business relationship or contract may come to a close or shift into a new phase. And personally, you could be faced with the question of whether the relationships into which you’re investing the most energy are sustainable and reciprocal.

If you’re single, you may choose to solidify your union, and if you’re partnered, you could find yourself discussing pent-up frustrations with your significant other. Ultimately, it’s time for you to make a decision that centers your interests and needs—not someone else’s.

Your full moon self-care practice: Lean into uncomfortable conversations. If there are topics you’re avoiding in your relationships—whether it’s with a roommate, BFF, romantic partner, or creative collaborator—today, you can experience relief and growth by choosing to address what’s been left unsaid.
