The Virgo New Moon


September 6 brings the Virgo New Moon. This luminary forms an exact connection with the planet Uranus, which is retrograde in Taurus. Our emotions will heighten, as well as our moods. Therefore, we can expect erratic sentiments that seem out of our control to take hold of our hearts and minds. We all want to feel something new, but the fact of the matter is that we should apply it to our lives in a practical way that can benefit our future. 

 

The energy can prove to be refreshing when it comes to taking calculated risks, seeking mild adventures, and applying it to inventive creative outlets. Because our minds are seeing things from a different perspective, the artist within us is blooming and wanting to come out.

 

Neptune, who’s retrograde in Pisces, widely opposes this luminary and sprinkles a little uncertainty in the overall vibe. This will make us feel anxiety ridden and unable to trust our intuition fully, as well as adding lethargy or exhaustion to the day. We may even pick up on the energy of others, which will make us think that  we cannot attain our dreams. Don’t let doubt hold you back. Take a step back to consider where the fears and emotions we are feeling are ours, or if they are projections from people who are in our personal orb. 

 

The same day, Venus, who’s in Libra, connects with Jupiter, who’s retrograde in Aquarius. This will give our magic a lot of power. Mars, who’s in Virgo, aspects Pluto, who’s retrograde in Capricorn, giving us the strength to push through the ambiguity. Therefore, it’s a potent time for manifestation, as long as our minds are calm and collected when setting intentions. 

 

The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Fine Lace Handkerchief, Heirloom From Valorous Ancestors.” Honoring the past is important to do while embracing exciting new dreams. Keep in mind that your ancestors are helping you attain your goals. Give them love and respect when setting intentions and manifesting New Moon visions. The fixed star Dubhe offers us courage, perseverance, and certainty to embrace our passions — even though we may doubt how we can attain them. Words of advice: Get out of your head and believe in yourself. 

 

This lumnation is activating the energy from the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius which occurred on June 5, 2020 and the solar eclipse in Gemini that occurred on June 10, 2021. The universe is checking in to make sure we aren’t veering from the righteous path we started to walk down then and living our truths. 

 

*The Virgo New Moon occurs on September 6 at 5:52 PM PDT and 8:52 PM EDT.

 

New Moon Ritual:

The ritual is to allow us to to create  abundance and creativity, by giving us the motivation and inspiration to work through the Neptunian haze. 

 

Ingredients: 

1 Yellow Candle

1 Teaspoon of Honeysuckle Petals 

1 Quartz Crystal 

Rosemary Oil 

 

Directions:

Anoint the candle with a few drops of rosemary oil, then roll the candle in honeysuckle petals. 

 

Set your intention by writing it down on a piece of paper. Visualize your desires. Meditate on them. 

 

Place the paper with your intentions under a bowl with water in it. 

 

Put the candle in the bowl and light it. 

 

Set the Crystal next to the bowl as the candle burns. 

 

The incentive here is for the Crystal to be charged with the energy manifested, to use at a later date when you need clarity and confidence.
