New Moon in Virgo – Tend to your inner resilience

2^nd September: PDT 18:55 | EDT 21:55 | 3^rd September BST 02:55

As autumn beckons in the northern hemisphere, the new moon in Virgo marks the start of a lunar cycle with the potential for deep shifts and change. Opening the gateway to an eclipse season that begins later in the month, here is a new moon to help us plant some seeds of intention for September.

With the season of Virgo in full earthy swing, the moon joins the sun in this grounded, pragmatic sign to give us our new moon. Virgo is the sign that can help us turn our attention to how we feel centred in body and mind. It is deeply linked to inner knowing, and a careful preparedness to help us transition times of change.

Mercury, the ruler of Virgo is now in direct motion (at last!) after a retrograde throughout most of August. When the planet of communication moves forward, I like to think everyday life can run a little more smoothly! Elsewhere in the heavens Pluto is moving back into Capricorn and Mars is moving into Cancer on 4^th September. Whenever planets move signs we can feel a shift, and with the new moon blessing us with some earthy energy right now, this seems like the perfect opportunity to really dig into what helps us feel grounded on a physical, mental and emotional level.

Steady your path

Saturn is also in the mix reminding us of our responsibilities and the need to build our resilience for the changes ahead. In what Virgo inspired ways can we do this? We can slow down, prepare, plan and give our intuition space to speak. Practicing self-compassion and kindness is paramount. If our own cup isn’t full, how can we give to anyone else?

Sometimes the ways in which we build inner strength involve a quiet assessment of our own needs and an honouring of self. The Goddess energy of Virgo can help us lean into this. Now is the time to set intentions that tend to your inner resilience and steady your path.

Feel your feet on the ground and take a breath.

With lunar blessings,
