Full Moon
Full Moon in Virgo
A Full Moon in Virgo is when the Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces, bringing the tension between order and surrender to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Virgo, opposite the Sun in Pisces, it lights up the pull between getting things sorted and simply letting go. The state of your work, your health, and your daily routines tends to come into sharp focus now and ask to be tended. It is a clear, practical time to release what has fallen into disorder and to finish what you have left undone, as long as you do not tip into picking everything, including yourself, apart.

The Mercury-ruled Moon set against the Jupiter-ruled Sun marks the old tension between order and dissolution coming to its peak, a time of culmination and, often, of release.
