New moon in earthy Virgo, the sacred keeper of Earth rhythms and cycles. Sun and moon are communing with the dragon constellation.
The predominant energy this month asks each of us to declare our purpose. What is your gift and how will you share it with your world?
What riches are you hiding / hoarding within yourself? Now is the time to risk and share. The world needs the gift of you more than ever
🌙
The Soul of the world will see you now. What have you come to give her?

Life may seem a bit wild and surreal right now. But the full Moon is with Virgo, the earth priestess. Virgo reminds us that honoring earth through ritual can bring us back down to ground.
Connect with this beautiful planet through a simple prayer, song, chant, offering, meditation or movement now. Find anchor in the storm.

Get out into Nature. Sit with Mama Earth and listen to her wisdom. She is calling to you… do you hear her?
Go commune with the mother.

Long hidden truths are surfacing as illusions fall away.
A watery Pisces sun amps up your emotions.
You may feel wild in the midst of this shift.
Find solid ground.

Look up tonight. The sky will be dark and the stars should be especially bright. This is new moon time.
Each month, our moon cycles from dark phase to full, then back to dark again. This particular new moon occurs when our moon is in the earthy sign of Virgo. Traditionally Virgo represented the Priestess, keeper of sacred timing and rituals. Our ancestors who lived closer to the earth and in synchrony with the moon and sun cycles, liked to place rituals during this potent new moon time.
“We are all like the bright moon, we still have our darker side.”
~Khalil Gibran
The dark phase of the moon is the perfect time to let go of inner darkness and make space for more light and love. Many times we hang onto dark events in our past because we cannot forgive another person. Or we cannot forgive ourselves. When it comes to forgiveness, ritual can be a great help to us. Ritual can help us amplify our intentions. Ritual can put a little extra power into our prayers.
When most people think of rituals, they picture an elaborate high Mass at church, or long drawn out funeral. But ritual does not need to be elaborate to be meaningful. I share below a simple ritual to help you forgive and let go.
In this potent new moon time, let’s choose to consciously let go of past troubles and mistakes. Let’s release our heavy baggage, so we can “lighten up” and flow joyfully into fall.
