The Full Moon in Virgo on February 24, 2024, is opposite Mercury and Saturn. So, the Full Moon February 2024 astrology means serious thinking and hard talk about difficult issues.

But as the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn converge in near-perfect alignment on February 28, more optimistic, constructive, and spiritual thinking can manifest as ideal outcomes.

Full Moon February 2024 Astrology

Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts climax with the February 2024 Full Moon. So, use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an honest and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Full Moon Aspects

Moon opposite Mercury makes it harder to understand your feelings and to share them. Confusion, emotional bias, or polarization can cause moodiness, anxiety, irritation, and disagreements. You may become overly analytical one moment, then overly emotional the next. So, extra care is needed with negotiations, critical decisions, and sensitive discussion topics.

Moon opposite Saturn cn cause bad moods, sadness, fear, worry and stubbornness. Emotional coldness or aloofness can lead to relationship problems, isolation, and loneliness. You could feel burdened or guilty about your responsibilities to an intimate partner or family member. Try to remain conscious of this depressing influence so a negative outlook does not manifest as disappointment or loss.

The February 28 Alignment

The Full Moon alignment of the Sun, Mercury and Saturn spans seven degrees. Its impact on the Full Moon astrology escalates dramatically as the gap narrows to 0°13′ at its climax on February 28.

• February 28, 03:42 am – 09♓14 – Sun conjunct Mercury
• February 28, 10:07 am – 09♓44 – Mercury conjunct Saturn
• February 28, 04:28 pm – 09♓48 – Sun conjunct Saturn

This alignment of the Sun, Mercury and Saturn lasts from February 24 to March 3. It brings serious thinking and communication about challenging issues. They may involve long-term goals, stability, duty, responsibility, boundaries, authority, or career. Important decisions may need to be made.

This karmic alignment usually brings arguments, hardship, loss, delay, restriction, guilt, and painful lessons. However, a sextile to Jupiter reduces the risk of adverse outcomes. It brings a more positive outlook and good fortune.

This now positive alignment suggests realized ambitions and significant achievements. Success comes through hard work, good judgment, long-term planning, common sense, self-discipline, patience, cooperation, negotiation, endurance, practicality, and dedication.

The Constellations

The Sun, Mercury, and Saturn at the February 2024 Full Moon are the Sign of Pisces. But as the star map below shows, it is located in the Constellation of Aquarius. The Signs and Constellations do not match up. In the last 2000 years, they have moved nearly 30° out of alignment because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The Full Moon aligns exactly with Lambda Pyxidis. Constellation Pyxis Nautica, the Mariner’s Compass, gives good judgment, interest in nautical and geographical matters, and an ambitious, wise, and steady nature. ^[1]

The image above shows the more critical alignment of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn. This is a significant part of the sky, as the three bright Alpha stars below indicate. Deneb Adige and Fomahaut have the most significant impact on the Full Moon, while Skat is the critical star for the February 28 alignment of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn. All three stars have a powerful, fortunate and spiritual influence.

• 02♓10 – Mercury
• 03♓40 – α Aquarii, Sadalmelik
• 04♓11 – α Piscis Austrinus, Fomalhaut
• 05♓23 – Sun
• 05♓38 – α Cygni, Deneb Adige
• 09♓12 – δ Aquarii, Skat
• 09♓14 – Saturn

Spiritual Stars

Fixed star Deneb Adige brings cleverness, ingenuity, idealism, intuition and psychic ability. ^[1]

The intuitive nature of these natives is refined and they can be led to accomplish many divine purposes if the spiritual path is followed and they pay attention to their spirit guides. By following the direction of their spirit guides, they are led to great abundance and much happiness in their lives. ^[2]

Fixed star Fomalhaut is very fortunate and powerful and changes from a material to a spiritual form of expression. ^[1]

Fixed star Skat gives good fortune, lasting happiness, ^[1] high preferment, possibly fame – good or bad, and romantic or domestic problems. ^[3]

With Saturn: Many travels and peculiar adventures, sudden ups and downs. ^[1]

In addition, when the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn alignment climaxes on February 28, 2024, the Moon aligns with the most fortunate star in the heavens, Alpha Virginis, at 24♎10.

Fixed star Spica gives success, renown, riches, a sweet disposition, love of art and science, unscrupulousness, unfruitfulness and injustice to innocence. ^[1] Androgynous, spiritual and religious qualities. Above average psychic awareness with the Moon. ^[4]

Full Moon February 2024 Meaning

The Full Moon on February 24 opposite Mercury and Saturn may cause a pessimistic outlook, relationship tension, and polarizing arguments on serious issues. But as the alignment of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn tightens, emotional strain should subside and be replaced by a more optimistic and cooperative approach.

I wrote two weeks ago that the February 9 New Moon may bring a surprise peace deal to end a war. The February 24 Full Moon makes that more likely because of serious debate, constructive negotiations and important decisions.

The fixed stars triggered by the Full Moon in February 2024 astrology add more hope for a successful conflict resolution. They have a fortunate and spiritual influence that brings intuition and psychic ability.

In particular, the February 28 alignment of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn with fixed star Skat brings the potential for “peculiar events” and mass consciousness that manifest tangible, positive outcomes. More people in the world wish or pray for peace than war. It might just be enough to influence their elected representatives to do the hard talk to put a stop to the killing of innocents.

Moon Phases

The influence of the February 24 Full Moon lasts two weeks up to the March 10 New Moon. Astrologically, a Full Moon is influenced by the preceding New Moon. The February 9 New Moon square Uranus indicates sudden change and uncertainty that requires an open-minded and flexible outlook. It may bring conflict and crises. However, a well-placed Venus allows for cooperation and diplomacy to give peace a chance.
