The
next full Moon
will be on Saturday, February 24, 2024 and will be in the sign of Virgo.
Astrology indicates that it will be in the 5th
degree
of this Earth sign, ruled by Mercury.
Like all full moons, it happens while the Sun is in its complementary opposite sign, Pisces.
Everything you need to know about the lunar calendar for this stage of 2024.
To find out
what is in store for all the signs
, what happens at an astronomical level with each full Moon and what the
astrological interpretation
is for this event,
Clarín
consulted the astrologer and creator of Learn Astrology, the author
Mercedes Casini
.
In the words of the astrologer, “it is an interesting full Moon because it occurs in
opposition to Saturn and Mercury
, which are in Pisces along with the Sun.”
Casini indicated that this luminaire
represents “our emotions
, the most intimate and sentimental part.”
That is why this phase is so important, when there is a Full Moon, just as the natural satellite receives all the light from the Sun, "there is a collective sensation that responds to the moment of greatest visibility of a stage."
In fact, before seeing in detail how the second full Moon of 2024 will develop, Casini invites us to ask ourselves what we were doing and projecting on September 14, 2023, when the new Moon in Virgo occurred and a new cycle began.
Full moon in February 2024: what you need to know
The second full moon of the year reaches its peak this
Saturday the 24th at 9:30
(Argentine time), according to the Naval Hydrography Service.
The best-known lunar phase is generated because, on its monthly journey around the Earth, the Moon reaches a point where it is located in front of the Sun. Therefore, on full Moon nights, the star illuminates the visible side of the satellite.
The full Moon in February is also known as
the “Snow Moon
,” a name given to it by the native peoples of North America when they created the first agricultural calendars.
In the northern hemisphere this Moon heralded a period in which hunting and gathering became difficult due to the weather, storms and snowfall.

As with other full Moons in Virgo, they are perfected as the Sun transits its complementary opposite, Pisces.
However, Casini highlighted a characteristic that distinguishes this lunation from those that occurred in other years: “The
Sun in Pisces
will be
in conjunction with Mercury and Saturn
, two planets that bring calculations, reasoning and precision to such an emotional panorama.” .
Saturn and Mercury set limits for the excessive sensitivity of Pisces.

This “emotional panorama” manifests itself thanks to the influence of Pisces, he said, as it is
the sign of empathy
and general habits to take care of emotional health, which alludes to “spiritual connections, art and the collective unconscious.”
“The Piscean theme occurs in contrast to Virgo, an earth sign, related to pruning, classification, cleanliness, habits, routine, health and taking care of our diet,” the author explained.
So
how will Mercury and Saturn influence it?
On the one hand, the planet closest to the Sun is also the ruler of Virgo, that is, the one that rules this full Moon.
During the lunation,
Mercury transits Pisces
and “reminds us that our thoughts must be passed through the filter of emotions, that our voice can be more connected to intuition and that perhaps it is a good time to review what media habits we want.” clean,” said Casini.

The astrologer added that Mercury invites us to ask ourselves: What words do we feed on?
On the other hand, Saturn, the ruling planet of Capricorn, tells us about
responsibility and limits
.
Its presence in the cosmic panorama adds more influence to the earth element, which is already evident with the sign of Virgo.
The Saturnian passage also invites us to ask ourselves:
What habit do we want to limit?
How responsible do we take for our health and well-being?
With all this in mind, Casini pointed out that this full Moon brings us the question: What things that distress us on a collective level can be
modified by a small
daily action?
“Virgo reminds us that the small makes the global, that our planet is made up of millions of microorganisms that make up the whole.
By taking care of our cells, our bacteria, our body and our habits, we also take care of the world and those around us.”
This full Moon reminds you that we are part of the whole, we do not live in isolation.

The other transit that will also impact the astrological configuration of the second full Moon of 2024 is the presence of
Chiron
.
The astrologer stated that “the wounded healer” will be conjunct the north node of the Moon.
This will bring “a new look at our past wounds.”
Lastly,
Venus and Mars will be together in Aquarius
.
The founder of Learn Astrology indicated that this planetary meeting in the most innovative and rebellious sign of the zodiac will mean “a revolutionary look at our desires and relationships.”
In summary, Casini considered that the
Full Moon on February 24
invites us to review what we consider medicine, what we consider healing, what habits favor our well-being and that of the world, what habits and routines we should limit, without restricting or repressing ourselves.

Now, if we want to know more precisely how its energy will affect us, Casini suggested comparing it with our birth chart, the “photograph of the sky at the moment we were born.”
The astrologer explained that in the case of lunations, the best thing to do is to look at the interpretation according to our
ascending sign
, the one that is calculated based on our time of birth.
