New Moon in Virgo

Hi friends,
How are you doing and feeling since the last full (and emo) Moon in Pisces?
Did, and do you still, feel that soul-led desire for transformation and more alignment? Are you starting to feel the subtle shifts within you toward that change? And are you allowing yourself to to welcome this change through the inspiration of your heart vs. the judgement of your fear? That is the mission, should you choose to accept it.
Here’s some good news for us all - the new Moon in Virgo (on 9.14.23) encourages us onward in our heart-led quest for change and transformation. While the Pisces Full Moon guided us to welcome change, through shifting our energy, the new Moon in Virgo, encourages us to truly embody that change now with our actions. This is a great lunation for taking action on the changes we’ve been feeling called towards.
While all new Moons are about planting seeds, setting intentions and beginning manifestations, this new Moon in Virgo is particulary supportive in starting fresh and with grounded intentions. Especially if those intentions relate to taking inspired actions for ourselves and our own empowerment.
The Virgo new Moon reminds us that you, and me, and we- each and every one of us - are the greatest manifestations we will ever create, when and if we allow ourselves to be.
It’s not about manifesting more money or opportunities or relationships - it’s about manifesting our confidence faith and unconditional love in ourselves.
A great affirmation for this new Moon is “I am the enough I seek”.
Focus on Virgo
The Virgo New Moon wants us to focus our manifestation powers on ourselves, on our connection and cohesion with the power we all contain within us.
Virgo energy is all about self-improvement, that and worldly-improvement too! Earthy, yet adaptable, meticulous and organized while also being creative, Virgo is all about the desire to manage (and maybe even control) the world around them. Virgo loves efficiency and accountability, and will always be first to take responsibilty for their actions.
Virgo get’s a bad rep for perfectionism and being overly critical (especially self-critical) yet that’s just a the shadow side of her supportive energies. Virgo wants to help us become our most thriving selves, grounded in self love and self trust in our own capabiliites. That’s why she encourages us to organize, stabilize and own our value.
Paired with the Mercury Retrograde, we can use these Virgo Sun and Moon energies to help us organize schedules (double checking those dates!), clarify our vision, and change up our daily patterns. Virgo actually rules the 6th House of health, daily routines and habits, reminding us to care for our bodies. With Mercury retrograding through Virgo during this lunation, a spotlight is held up over our daily routines and sense of wellness, making this new Moon a beautiful time to begin new ways of caring for ourselves.
Speaking of Mercury retrograde, the planet of communication and our thoughts, stations direct the day after the Virgo New Moon, on 9.15.23. This increases the ramping up and momentum building energy we’re already feeling around this new Moon.
Despite the focus on forward moving momentum, this new Moon wants us to do so in ways that feel restorative so that we can emerge from the Dark Moon with renewed energy for showing up for ourselves and each other. Virgo wants us to grow and thrive in a way that is sustainable.
Even while pushing us forward, the Moon reminds us to be gentle with our precious hearts, to take our time, trust in Divine timing and not rush whatever we are moving through.
Uranus’ influence
During this lunation the new Moon is positioned in a harmonious way to Uranus, the planet of progressive and energized change. This continues to spur on the motivation and momentum for transformation.
These energies are great for helping us keep our energy and momentum flowing both for our new daily supportive and restorative routines, and our professional and/or personal goals. This Uranus energy paired with the Moon in Virgo will keep the ball rolling if we start by taking those first steps.
So start that project, sign up for that class or course, change your routinue and see how the Universe comes to meet you.
May this Virgo New Moon inspire you to claim yourself as your greatest manifestation and move forward with confidence in your never-wavering power within.
with infinite love & appreciation,
Rachael
