On the Trail of the Wild Feminine
Nancy Lankston
We are in the cauldron now.
Last night’s total lunar eclipse as the moon went full in the sign of Earth Priestess Virgo has all of our energies are stirred up and a bit WILD.
Buckle up, breathe and try not to do anything rash.
For the next few weeks, we will be in the eclipse cauldron. This is a perfect time to do shadow work and learn to love those parts of you that are problematic, embarrassing, less than ideal.
New moon in earthy Virgo, sign of the earth priestess.
Virgo is all about honoring the rhythms and cycles and seasons of this beautiful planet.
As Summer is drawing to a close in the northern hemisphere, this is the perfect time to perform a simple ritual in honor of the seasons.
Light a candle, say a prayer or make an offering to Mama Earth. Express your gratitude for our beautiful, sacred planet and its seasons.

A poem in honor of this potent full moon in Virgo, the sign of the earth priestess…
A fire in the night
light up seeing
stars twinkle
and the Moon
is on her way
down the road
we turned
around and around
until we knew
in our broken bones
what was true
and red birds flew
the sky got more blue
over the green sea
we prayed unto
our Mother who knew
chaos would crumble,
our power would rumble
and this moment
brought destiny
to Her knees.

Full moon in Virgo, the sign of the Earth Goddess / Priestess. This moon is sometimes called the worm moon. It is the closest full moon to spring equinox.
Here in the northern hemisphere, the ground is beginning to thaw and the worms are stirring. Mama Earth is waking up. Have faith. Spring is on its way.
Now is the perfect time to set intentions and make plans for spring.
What does your heart desire after the long, dark months? Shake off the cobwebs of winter and take a step or two towards your desire now.

Full moon in earthy Virgo, the keeper of Earth’s rhythms and cycles.
Don’t be surprised if you catch yourself delving into the details of issues and habits that need to change. Analysis can be a great use of Virgo energy, but try not to overdo it. Be gentle with yourself. You really don’t need to alter every aspect of your life.
With the moon now in Virgo and spring equinox just around the corner, it is the perfect time to connect with and honor Mama Earth.
Spend some time out in nature, and express your gratitude to Mama Earth for the food, water, air and shelter she provides. No need to create an elaborate ritual; simply express your love and gratitude to Mama Earth in some simple way.

Make self-awareness and self-healing your focus for this Virgo new moon cycle. Sort out what you need to survive and thrive in these chaotic times.
Expect to have your own issues bubble up as you focus on what you need. You can run, but you can’t hide. Try to avoid blaming someone or something outside of yourself for the issues that surface. Inner work is the key that will unlock your life.
Make your own healing and inner peace your priority. You’re worth it.
