The earthy new moon has a new beginning for you

We have a new moon in Virgo on 7th September 1:50amGMT and this new moon is bringing with it the winds of change which are being weaved throughout September. Typically, a new moon is used for manifesting and welcoming in new intentions, so this month I would recommend focusing on healing and letting go of anything that has happened over the 9 years and 9 months as we are in a powerful 99 month. So, I would definitely recommend using this new moon to let go and then to manifest.

With this being a Virgo new moon, this is an excellent moon to connect with the Goddess Persephone, I would recommend doing healing with her to heal the mother wounds we carry. Whether this is linked specifically to our own mothers or whether this is referring to a generational/transferred feminine wound.

With this new moon with it being in Virgo it is bringing with it a sense of impatience or anxiety, more so directed towards yourself, so spend time connecting to yourself and following what feels right for you.

Whatever you are manifesting under this New Moon, know the grounding energies of Virgo will be your guide. Allow this energy to root yourself into the present moment. I’m hoping that this ritual help you ground into the present moment, connect with the earth, help you to release what is not serving you that is linked with past wounds and help you to manifest your intentions on a strong foundation.

New Moon Ritual:

Aura cleansing tool of choice (i.e.. herb sticks, incense, bells, etc.)

Grounding Meditation https://youtu.be/FXi0XY9YD0U

Place 1-3 flowers and herbs in a fireproof bowl these are what I recommend: Caraway, Dill, Mint, Horehound, Marjoram, Buttercups, Narcissus, Chrysanthemums, Asters, Cherry blossoms.

Tarot Deck

Pen and two pieces of paper

Candle

Crystals of your choice to hold during the meditation (optional) Amazonite, Moss Agate, Snowflake Obsidian, Green Jade, or Amethyst,

To start your ritual, light your candle, complete an aura sweep and cleanse with this new moon cleansing prayer:

“I release & let go of all that no longer serves me all the pains, fears & anxieties of the past that I have been carrying around that weigh heavy on my heart & soul are being surrendered to the light. I feel supported by the earth below me and held & guided by the universe. I feel lighter, I feel at peace, I am at peace with myself, the world & the universe around me.

Mote it be, Mote it be, Mote it be.”

Following the aura cleanse, listen to the watch your breath meditation https://youtu.be/FXi0XY9YD0U

Once you have completed the meditation, if you have a tarot card deck complete the following reading (if you don’t have cards, skip to the letter writing):

For this new moon if you have a tarot deck, find your moon card, and then also take out the card behind and the card in front. For the card behind this is what you need to look at in order to release and heal, and the card in front is where you need to be putting your focus over the next few days of this lunar cycle. And finally what card is on the bottom of your deck, and whatever your card is, indicates what you are hiding, or that is part of your shadow self that you need to face. These are excellent exercises to do for any moon ritual or exercise/journal process.

After the reading, write two letters to the universe or a two part letter to yourself, stating what it is you are releasing, and what you are manifesting. Then place the letter in the fire-proof bowl with the flowers and herbs, set fire to the letter if safe to do so. If it’s safe to do so and the night is clear place it outside for the moon to harness its energies.

And with that your ritual is complete! Take time to process how you feel, you may want to listen to the meditation again to help you settle yourself and bring a bit of calm if you are feeling emotional or tense following the ritual.

Sending new blessings and moon beams your way
