New Moons represent beginnings. They are for planting seeds and setting intentions for our dreams, goals, and wishes. They're an opportunity to take ownership of what we want to manifest and to commit to the actions, thoughts, and behaviors necessary to get us there.

Virgo is the sign of the healer. It beckons us to invite the curative power of earth into our lives through eating nurturing foods or by spending time surrounded by the beauty of nature  It is symbolized by a virgin goddess carrying a shaft of wheat and, thus, Virgo represents purity, integrity, precision, strength and a deep association to earth..  

There is no better placed New Moon than one in Virgo, with its teeming energy and close connection to earth, to deeply plant new seeds of beginnings and intentions.  It is asking us to take our connection with our body and lean on the healing energy of the earth to focus our energy and ground our soul's intentions into reality.

Virgo’s wisdom reminds us just how important the small steps are. It will deliver a much-needed dose of practicality and focus, allowing us to see what we need to change about our everyday routines in order to feel more grounded.  Now is about getting organized and putting things in their proper place whether that be finally organizing your closet, cleaning up your diet, breaking up with habits that do not serve you, or cutting out toxic relationships.

2020, thus far, has been a bumpy ride in every single possible way for most of us.  I don’t know anyone who can't agree that 2020 has been a bit of an a**hole.  Well, it seems all the transforming and breaking down of the old that we have been doing this year is finally paving the way for something new to emerge.  All of the hurt, anger, division, hate, annoyance, and despair that we’ve felt over the last several months is slowly subsiding as we instead keep holding onto the love, unity, and oneness that is inherent in us all.  

Maybe we spent time recently wondering why something we’ve been working towards isn’t coming in.  Perhaps you’ve wanted to optimize your wellness routine and just haven’t been able to start.  Maybe you need to have a tough conversation with someone you care about but you don’t want to encounter conflict.  You may feel the pressing need to say no to something that you keep returning to that doesn’t serve you.

This New Moon in Virgo will be that magical boost we’ve been needing to strengthen our ability to see our goals more clearly and subsequently take tangible actions toward them.  It is an invitation to create or commit to the rituals, routines, and practices that will help us transform using the intrinsic knowledge and understanding that we already have within us.  It allows us to be more discerning, deliberate, and decisive. It helps us hone in on strategies for long-term growth and essentially how we want to feel now.

Let this new moon be a moment for your soul to remind you of all you already know.  That you are magical in every single atom of your being.
