In the hero’s journey, this is the sacred Marriage of resonate polarities, between the archetypes of Sun/Moon. In the menstrual cycle, this phase is ovulation. The egg is released from ovary into fallopian tubes and the possibility of ferritization is greatest. Metaphysically, this is when we fertilize our creations with thought seeds and manifestation rituals have the greatest potential. The prime hormone for this phase is estrogen which stimulates luteinizing hormone which stimulates the release of the egg. This is also the peak of testosterone in the cycle so we see a lot of hormonal stimulation at full Moon phase. The full Moon phase is about 72 hours, which also coincides closely to the time from onset of ovulation where fertilization is possible. Orgasm, ovulation, the moment of truth, polarity connection, endorphin high. Use foods that are packed with flavor, colorful, juicy and nutrient dense.

Ritual:
Sacred Mundane Ritual
Virgo understands the practical magic of treating daily routines as rituals. Finding the sacredness in the mundane, seeing God in the details. When we honor our whole self as sacred every detail of our life is magical, every action we take is a ritual, and all work we do is a service to the divine source. Every moment of gratitude is a prayer of Love.
When you brush your teeth… feel gratitude in your heart as a prayer of appreciation for the intelligent design of your teeth you use to chew the food that nourishes your body!
Take a seat and ground into your connection to the earth below you, feel gratitude expand your heart for the abundant support of mother earth!
Virgo is Ritualistic. Follow your heart tonight to practice what feels right to you. Whatever you choose to practice, let it be sacred. Empathize creating sacred space and honoring your ritual’s beginning, middle, and end.
