NEW MOON IN VIRGO
The New Moon is in the sign of Virgo. Virgo’s way is one of love, caring, and compassion for all things. Virgo is a sign of emotional wisdom and inner alignment. This New Moon supports focus, details, action- reorganizing, re-setting, and making new intentions. Take some to revisit what you want from your life - reset your intentions and make commitments on how you will proceed. You will be supported as long as you aren’t stuck by feelings of ambivalence, confusion, extreme caution - these feelings will hold you back. This New Moon starts a cycle of moving forward. Resistance to this will manifest as exhaustion, withdrawal, and apathy. This is a time to open up to your intuition and ask all your support to come in -in whatever form shows up. The guidance and signs from the invisible world will be easily seen and will show the way.
Virgo energy helps with decluttering and reorganizing as we integrate the shifts of the intense astrology of the summer into our lives. Virgo shows the spiritual in our everyday tasks.
This New Moon in Virgo has a strong relationship with health and the body, especially the small intestine and digestion. So there should be an emphasis on diet and metabolism. Virgo naturally aligns with what is pure and natural. Virgo asks us to heal ourselves and this healing begins in the body. Our job is to feel, work through and release all blocks- physical and emotional.
Virgo is pure so begin by purifying your intentions- release the need to blame or judge others.
Now it is time to write your wishes and intentions for this new cycle- for the new beginning.
So ask- ask for what you desire. Intend what you wish to be so. Feel the love, acceptance, and support of your special guide. Feel its energy swirl around you, giving life to your intentions. Feel the energy align with your thoughts, to your reality, feel it come to assist you in manifesting your wishes and, your dreams
