The new moon in Virgo arrives on September 14th.
At the new moon, the waxing crescent peaks its head out from the darkness that shields the rest of its body—Like the Hermit from the
Tarot, this small, bright crescent values solitude, its intuitive guides, and ample time for introspection. The Hermit may be reluctant in the beginning to step into the cold light of the dark half of the year, and all that it reveals. This transition should be waded through with extra gentleness—make sure to check in with your spirit, and validate whatever doubts and fears you may find there. Boundless treasure awaits this lunation, but you'll need to brave the caves of your unconscious mind if
you're seeking it. Don't fret—connect to your energetic roots, and let them lead you through their depths. There's no need for trepidation; you're safe here.
This lunation in Virgo is an especially tentative time. Virgo, the sign of order, intricate detail,
and illimitable awareness, is adept at assessing both risk and reward. This Virgo new moon asks us to asses our surroundings and boundaries before we leap into our new creative ventures, and simultaneously, assures us of the power of our own judgement and intuition. What expectations do you hold yourself accountable for? What are your limits, and what practices have you developed to ensure these limits are respected? Trust that your body knows its needs best, babe. Follow them to their core,
lean into those origins, and sit with them to cultivate understanding.
Virgo's sincerity and attention to detail is sure to shine through any and all bullish*t this new moon—long story short babe, this is the time to reckon with any stagnant, hesitant energy that
isn't serving you. Remember, you are divinely guided. Your intuition is your most sacred tool in your toolbox. Utilize it! Eventually, you'll need to step forward, out of the darkness of the waning moon, and into your waxing phase.
On September 29th,
we'll experience a full moon in Aries.
This full moon in Aries is startling in its brightness—unflinching Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, and the ruler of passion. Symbolized by the ram, with their massive horns doubling as two mirrored cornucopias, both nearly overflowing with bounty, Aries fears nothing—for Aries energy already contains everything they need to thrive. This lunation calls us to acknowledge
the same bounty in ourselves.
What wisdom do you feel that you lack, that might already exist somewhere within you? What do you fear, that you've already faced and conquered at another time? Allow your fears to wither under the light of this full moon, babe. You're safe
here, and you contain everything you need to succeed.
Leadership, initiative, and direct action are intrinsic when it comes to Aries—this lunation is the ideal time to approach your deepest desires from an actionable standpoint. What can you do right now to set your dreams alight? What project is your inner witch calling for you to begin,
and what steps can you take in this current moment to bring this project into reality? If you find yourself sinking into doubt, reach out a hand—you intuition will be there to catch you this lunation. The full moon will light the path ahead; all you have to do is step forward.
