How the Full Moon in Virgo of March 2023 Will Affect Each Zodiac Sign

Feeling more sensitive or self-critical than usual? You’re not alone, because the moon is on the cusp of reaching peak fullness. Before we discuss how the full moon in Virgo of March 2023 will affect each zodiac sign, let’s take a closer look at the meaning of this lunar phase, along with this mutable earth sign’s zodiac archetype.

The moon is constantly taking us along for a ride through all eight of her mysterious phases. In astrology, the moon is symbolic of our inner world and emotional foundation, and this is precisely why its ever-changing cycles play such a pivotal role in our personal lives. The sun—symbolic of the ego and your physical reality—sits directly opposite the moon during the full moon phase. This is also when the moon shines the brightest, as will our emotions along with whatever’s been hidden in your unconscious.

The full moon will adorn the sky on March 7 at 7:40 a.m. ET, reaching its peak at 16 degrees Virgo. Governed by savvy Mercury—the planet of communication, logistics and thought processes—Virgo’s mercurial nature comes to life when in regards to the “communication” that occurs between your mind, body and soul. This mutable earth sign strives for order, productivity and more importantly, results.

This is where mother moon encourages us to check in with ourselves, specifically when pertaining to themes of responsibility, structure and resourcefulness. Virgo also speaks to our general well being, whether physically or in terms of our day-to-day rituals and routines. That means this is a great time to schedule your annual doctor visits if you’re feeling called to do so. You’ll also check where 16 degrees Virgo lives in your birth chart, as this will provide more clarity on the potential effects of this lunation.

Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) will be transiting Pisces, the zodiac sign of its detriment, which tends to be a bit challenging time for the messenger planet. Why? Well, while swimming through the mystical depths of this mutable water sign, Mercury is not only furthest away from its sign of rulership (Pisces is Virgo’s polar opposite) but also not very fond of the Virgoan details. On the contrary, Mercury in Pisces tends to be more scatterbrained and creative as opposed to practical and grounded. Mars in Gemini will also be a focal point in a T-Square between the sun and moon, adding to the mutable “chaos,” so it’s important to remain flexible and open-minded during this time. Decisions won’t come easy, so try to steer away from being overly critical or impulsive—consider your options. Fortunately, with the help of freedom-loving Uranus—in harmony with the sun and moon—the more willing you are to venture out of your comfort zone, the more likely you are to experience a breakthrough.

If your sun sign, moon sign or rising sign falls under any of the following zodiac signs, the upcoming full moon will rock your world. Here’s why:

Aries

Slow and steady, Aries. Though you’re being encouraged to get organized and grounded, there could still be some uncertainty unconsciously plaguing you. Either way, you’re gaining clarity on a new system, daily routine and/or work schedule that needs to be implemented in your day-to-day life. With the help of unconventional Uranus, there is novelty and experimentation available to you, so don’t be afraid to explore your options moving forward.

Taurus

Contemplating a passion project? This lunation will bring awareness to everything from the system of your hobbies to the details of a creative venture. If it’s a skill you’re cultivating, you’re likely recognizing what needs improvement. However, with Mars charging up your second house of self-confidence, you could be second-guessing yourself, or simply lacking patience. Luckily, with Uranus in your sign, there are unconventional ways to tap into your ingenious attributes, and unique eccentricities.

Gemini

Cleanliness is godliness, Gemini. Although, despite longing for things to be cohesive and “perfect” in the homefront, the system you crave will take time and patience. Truth be told, having hot-headed Mars in your sign isn’t necessarily helping, because in addition to challenging the sun and moon (in mutable signs), you’re also more likely to act on impulse, or simply experience restlessness during this time. Uranus, however, is bringing light to unconscious patterns and/or energies that might be hovering over your mind, and spirit. Pay attention.

Cancer

As a cardinal sign, you’re always coming up with ideas and ways to be more resourceful, and this full moon is no exception. Whether it be a communication style or a mindset that’s not complimenting your productivity levels, this lunation is bringing solutions to your day-to-day ventures. Others of you, however, may opt for reorganizing things with your siblings, peers and/or local community. And though Mars in Gemini is prone to triggering feelings of restlessness in your 12th house, Uranus is bringing unexpected insight, and potential opportunities to explore in your extended community.

Leo

You’re getting grounded when in regards to everything from your money-making abilities to your spending habits, Leo. Whether it be the system you’ve created around your financial responsibilities or what needs improvement, this lunation is bringing something to light. The catch? With go-getter Mars charging up your 11th house of social contributions, you could experience a lack of patience, if not a desire to propel forward… and yet, still lack clarity on the foundation of your personal/professional commitments. Harness the freedom-loving essence of Uranus when it comes to taking the lead.

Virgo

Happy full moon, Virgo. Think back to the new moon in your sign that took place on August 27, 2022: What’s improved when in regards to your mind, body and soul? Given that Mercury (your ruler) will be transiting through Pisces, and your committed seventh house of agreements, compromise and significant others, you’re being encouraged to discern between your personal needs/progress vs. that of others. Mars may ignite the fire, when it comes to matters of career and/or your sense of authority, but with the help of Uranus, you could begin to look at things from a different perspective, as opposed to overthinking matters of notoriety and reputation.

Libra

Tending to your wellbeing is a priority, especially under this month’s full moon, Libra. You might even feel the need to retreat and catch up on rest, despite having to tend to your day-to-day due diligence. If you have children or a creative project you’re currently working on, this could be a challenging focal point, thanks to Mars in Gemini challenging the sun and the moon. On a brighter note, however, Uranus is shaking things up in your eighth house of intimate unions, which could result in you feeling the urge to break free from an entanglement, or shared investment. Ask yourself if it’s worth the sacrifice.

Scorpio

You’re taking a closer look at the foundation of a community affair, if not the logistics surrounding your visions of the future, Scorpio. Others of you might recognize what needs improvement in this area of your life, if not gaining awareness on a possible solution from a friend of a friend. The catch, however, could stem from Mars in Gemini (via your eighth house of mergers) as it will square off with the sun and moon. While it’s no reason to stress, this could create tension when in regards to a contractual agreement, especially those of you interested in exploring opportunities where you can harness your creative talents, skills and abilities.

Sagittarius

Get clear on your long-term goals so you can create a solid plan of action, Sagittarius. You’re more fond of going with the flow than following a syllabus, but this lunation is bringing awareness to career matters, and that of your sense of authority. If you’ve been longing for solutions, or simply trying to cultivate a healthy work vs. life balance, you’re gaining insight on next steps. The only challenge, however, could stem from Mars in Gemini charging up your relationship sector, as you are less patient than usual with work peers, and significant others.

Capricorn

Consider other options, Capricorn. Without overthinking the logistics, be open to the information you receive under this month’s full moon in Virgo. This could be about a sibling or someone in your immediate environment, while others of you learn more about the whereabouts of your peers, or perhaps a local neighborhood. Mars in Gemini, however, will charge up your sixth house of productivity and daily routines, which could potentially challenge the “strategy” and/or “process” you’re striving for. Don’t lose your patience–focus on what needs to get done, one step at a time.

Aquarius

Before committing, be sure to take a closer look at the details surrounding this current or future exchange, Aquarius. You’re bound to get insight on the logistics that surround a partnership, if not recognize what needs to be improved in this area of your life. With Mars serving as a focal point in this moon’s T-Square, however, it’s important to recognize where your “heart’s desires” could potentially be getting in the way of your commitment to a significant other. Whether financially or in terms of your sense of security, you’re being encouraged to meet a significant other half-way, or at least hold space for the sake of staying organized.

Pisces

All relationships require a certain amount of compromise, whether personally or professionally, Pisces. The full moon will touch down on your committed seventh house, but its ruler will be sitting alongside Neptune and the sun in your sign. And while you’re not normally prone to committing to a practical plan of action—but instead, considering the infinite possibilities—you’re being encouraged to honor and/or create a productive solution moving forward. If this is related to family, Mars (being the focal point in a T-Square) could create friction in your personal life, if not with your close relatives. Set healthy boundaries without losing your cool.
