VIRGO NEW MOON 

Dripping in alchemy, this Virgo New Moon invites you to get clear on what daily habits will serve your greatest potential and support your well-being. Through these daily habits we build trust, and create sacred, but practical moments within our daily lives. While daily routines can become monotonous,  Virgo is the hero alchemizing the monotony into magic; transcending the mundane. Through these practical, and simple ways of nourishing our bodies in our day to day lives, we build trust and a foundation for these roots to not only grow, but bloom. 


This New Moon initiates a new cycle and is especially potent in anticipation for the  upcoming Eclipse cycle. Each little moment you take to show up for yourself in your daily life now, nourishes parts of you that eventually amount to something bigger, your greatest potential. 


The Sun and Moon come together at 11° Virgo on Monday, September 2nd at 6:55PM MST.  Mutable – Earth sign Virgo, is ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind; communication and information. While Virgo is a grounded Mutable sign, she also has perfectionist mindset with a routine and detail-oriented focus. But as a mutable sign, she can be fluid and adaptable. Initiating new routines that serve her current rhythms and cycles.


Virgo is represented by the Virgin archetype, which can be misrepresented, assuming an innocence or lack of experience, when really Virgo is here to teach us diligence and purity.  Virgo, the Earth Priestess, is here to purify through daily routines and passion for our health and well-being.


After the dramatic and high, heart-centered energy of Leo season, Virgo asks us to drop into our earthly bodies, bringing forward a conscious awareness in tangible transformational ways. Connecting to the Earth, while healing the wounds of our heart. 


I often think of Virgo as the other alchemist in the zodiac, sisters to Scorpio. Virgo’s alchemy comes from its meticulous desire to be perfect, seeing what it could be, and holding the greatest potential of their own and others. Virgo isn’t here to just master their own transformation, but she gets great pleasure and awareness in being in service to others. 


The New Moon in Virgo will inspire a good healthy habit forming routine while purging and cleansing your space. Cleansing your environment is always supportive, but because Virgo is ruled by Mercury, I often think of an information cleanse, too. Perhaps a digital detox is in store for you during this New Moon. 


There’s still a strong focus on the outer planets, affecting the collective. 
The heavy outer planets are still making for some dense astro weather.


Here’s just a few to note;
 Uranus goes retrograde during this New Moon, and it is important to note that Uranus can often bring shocking information. Uranus is the liberator. 


Mercury Square Uranus – this could be rebellion toward your individual, and simple daily practices. But potentially offering creativity and curiosity toward the rebellion or chaos that could ensue. 


Venus recently moved into Libra inviting more  appreciation and focus on pleasure, love, beauty and connection with our feminine side. 


Pluto, who is retrograde dips back into Capricorn for the last time on the same day as the New Moon. Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, and death, and rebirth will activate the boss, father-like energy of Capricorn one last time, before he enters Aquarius for the next 20 years on November 19th. 


Also this New Moon is opposite Saturn in Pisces, inviting more discipline regarding boundaries, specifically spiritual boundaries. Be discerning on who has access to your energy.




Questions to ponder:
What are some small and simple acts I can activate in my daily routine that support my greatest potential?


What am I grateful for?


Where in my life do I feel intuitively called to declutter, and cleanse?
