NEW MOON WISDOM: MOON IN VIRGO
This week's New Moon is today (September 14th 2023) in Virgo at 6:40PM PST.
Virgo is an earth elemental sign, so this new moon invites us to ground our intentions with practical and systematic efficiency. Take advantage of this clarifying energy, especially if you've been feeling the effects of our current Mercury Retrograde, which has been asking us to clarify communication in our relationships with with loved ones, and with ourselves.
Now don't worry, Mercury Retrograde shifts forward again in another 24 hours, and other than a bit of bumpiness for the next week, you should find some pretty profound opening as the month proceeds.
Enjoy life. If you're finding that there's a heaviness or intensity in the air, don't let it weigh you down. You're simply feeling the energy of YOUR OWN SOUL, deepening in wisdom as you head into the darkness of autumn and winter.
TIPS FOR THIS NEW MOON IN VIRGO:
1. LET GO OF OLD DRAMA & STUCK ENERGY. Remember that song, NO MORE DRAMA by Mary J Blige?
Sweetie if you've been swimming in circles in your head about drama-filled situations, or if you've been recently caught in cycles of BS and drama, stop it.
Use this ripe time between the new moon and next week's fall equinox to say NO. Begin to expand your vision to what your life would look like without that situation.
Take time to run Reiki energy healing, and to journal:
What would you be focused on if you didn't have this drama to focus on?
What would you be thinking about with all of that extra space in your spirit?
What is one thing you can do right now, today, to let go of drama and find more balance?
Commit this new moon in virgo to clearing and nourishing your spirit. Give yourself permission to be a visionary being.
2. LET GO OF OLD VICES AND RUN TOWARDS YOUR TRUE SELF. If you feel a little escapist, and you find yourself craving extra wine, pharmaceuticals, drugs, or anything else to numb out, reduce the pain, and get away from your life... this is not the month for that. While these medicines are occasionally helpful in small doses, leaning into them in excess will keep you from receiving the hidden gifts of this season.
If you've been a little heavy handed with your vices lately, consider this blog your wakeup call.
Your life is too precious. Pull upon your deeper courage to start envisioning what a cleaner winter could look like. Get support if it will help. Not sure what kind of support? Reach out to me and we can look at your resources together.
Go forward, eyes open and spirit present, into the night!
And a special note to my new agers and modern seekers: remember, entheogenic allies such as select 'shrooms, flowers, and divine herbal blends, can create illusions in your third eye chakra and displace your spirit, when used in excess.
Be VIRGINAL in your energy and approach to these delicate medicines, during this lunation. Instead, think virgin drinks, soft music, salty cleansing soaking baths, deep relaxation, stunning personal insight. Good clean fun!
DO SOMETHING KIND FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE. Expand your heart and your good fortune by sharing your thankfulness and gratitude with the people you love. Remember everyone has their own love languages. Share gratitude by surprising others with acts of love. Wash a car, make a meal, listen more deeply, buy someone flowers, make a gift, snuggle up, or spend more time with the people you care about.
Enjoy this ripe, magical time.
Happy New Moon!
