The moon, with her ever-changing phases, offers us a monthly rhythm to connect with and explore our inner worlds. Tracking the moon’s cycle is one of the best ways to begin understanding your body’s cyclical shifts, your emotional needs, and to improve your overall well-being.
About the New Moon:
The New Moon is the most mysterious time of the moon’s cycle, bringing darkness to the night sky for 3 days. In response to the moon's darkness, you may notice that you tend to feel more reflective and internal.
Physically, your energy may be at its lowest and you may feel more tired or sensitive. Emotionally, the New Moon is a time to tune into your heart’s desires and listen to what your inner world is saying.
You may naturally be more introspective during a New Moon, thus, it’s a powerful opportunity to set intentions and actively choose to meet your deepest desires.
During a New Moon, ritual and reflection are potent as they are most supported by both Cosmic and Earth energies, allowing us to gain deeper insight and magnetize our desires.
The New Moon in Virgo
About Virgo:
Virgo is an Earth sign in astrology that is oriented toward service, refinement, precision, systemization, and productivity. Virgo asks us to aim for consistent action instead of perfection and invites us to embrace structure so that we can focus on maintaining healthy behaviors that allow us to feel strong in all areas of our lives.
Virgo is known for its analytical nature, attention to detail, and focus on health and well-being. During this New Moon, these aspects of Virgo are amplified, offering us an opportunity to streamline our lives, declutter our minds, and focus on self-care.
New Moons in Virgo:
When a New Moon is in Virgo, it is essential to carve out alone time. Virgo initiates a return to our personal sovereignty, asking us to evaluate and create greater alignment with our truth, and the healthiest versions of our lives.
A Virgo New Moon asks us to craft a vision for our health, how we want to feel, and to commit to which self-care practices support those intentions. We may also begin to look at dynamics in our lives, noticing where we have dimmed our power and begin to reclaim it.
It’s a beautiful time to set intentions around taking your power back so you can shine more brightly and fully.
Creating Your Virgo New Moon Ritual
The New Moon is a time of new beginnings, a blank canvas in the lunar cycle where intentions may be set and seeds may be planted for future growth. When paired with the practical and detail-oriented energy of Virgo, this New Moon becomes a potent time for introspection, organization, and grounding into the details of what you most want to call into your life.
Observe the Night Sky:
Sometime this week, ideally in the next few days, create a ritual for yourself to intentionally connect with the moon. Take a moment to go outside at night and look at the moon. Notice where she is in her cycle.
Is the night sky dark or do you see a bit of light from the sliver of the moon’s crescent?
Honor and acknowledge the moon’s influence over the tides of your inner waters -your womb and blood, and your menstrual cycle if you are a bleeding body. Where are you in your cycle?
Connect with the Astrological Sign of Virgo
Virgo is deeply connected to nature and the body. When a moon falls under the sign of Virgo, it is a wonderful time for connecting with the physical world- spending time in nature, and getting out of our heads and into our bodies through movement.
Consider practices such as lying on the Earth, long nature walks, gardening, or the intuitive movement practice below to anchor yourself in the present moment and allow yourself to receive the Earth's nurturing energy.
INTUITIVE MOVEMENT PRACTICE
Nothing has the power to open your heart, shift your energy, and enliven your soul like a good dance party. Your invitation this week is to take some time to create an intentional movement ritual that supports greater embodiment through an intuitive dance session.
To begin your New Moon in Virgo ritual, create a sacred space that reflects the essence of what Virgo means to you:
Organize your space
Light a candle
Burn some blessing herbs
Bring out any items that resonate with grounding energy to anchor your space
Set an intention
Invite in your intuition & body's voice
Turn on the playlist below to support your exploration
End your ritual with the journal prompts below
As you move, work with your breath, listen to your body, and observe how it wants to move. Follow the flow of what feels good, and as you move, envision that you are clearing out old, stagnant, or stuck energy as well as any old ways of being that no longer serve you. Let your movement empower you as you release.
