Virgo New Moon

09.14.2023 at 7:40 pm MDT / 9:40 pm EDT

The moon renews itself tonight, Thursday, September 14th, 2023, at 07:40 pm MST in thoughtful & organized Virgo. ⁠

.⁠

The affirmation is, "When life gets overwhelming, I can always ground myself by returning to my basic needs."⁠

.⁠

I know I needed this reminder big time this year!⁠

.⁠

I don't want to be one of those spiritual leaders who acts or looks like everything is smooth sailing all the time because I'm aware of the energy.⁠

.⁠

I'm still human, and I've been highly overwhelmed lately; my partner and I feel like we're receiving one challenge after the other, and I'm struggling to catch up.⁠

.⁠

I've had to step back from social media to take care of myself and my family. I realized when I'm feeling down, socials are not the best environment because they lead to comparisons, which leads to self-doubt.⁠

.⁠

I find myself regularly filled with rage about the horrific injustices happening worldwide, especially in our own country. And living in a state of anger and doubt gets nowhere. ⁠

.⁠

This is not a sob story; I want you to know that it's okay if you've felt this way. I'm right there with you. It's okay not to be okay all the time!⁠

.⁠

Protect your energy and take care of yourself without guilt.⁠

.⁠

Virgo Season can bring you so many opportunities that it can be overwhelming. And the double Virgo sky can help you prioritize what is actually essential.⁠

.⁠

Virgo is all about structure and nourishment. And I don't know about you, but I could use a lot of both right now.⁠

.⁠

All these retrograde are not messing around, and I don't know anyone who isn't being affected by the energy.⁠

.⁠

The New Moon in Virgo is here to give us all some reprieve so we're prepared for the next month.⁠

.⁠

That's right; unfortunately, we have about a month left of chaos and unpredictability. And if there's one that Virgo isn't usually a fan of, it's unpredictability.⁠

.⁠

So, take advantage of this moon to re-center & re-ground. It may not be the best news, but now you know to prepare the best you can. And that means taking care of your basic needs. ⁠

.⁠

Start small. Have you slept, eaten, and had enough water?
.
Then, baby steps from there. Is there a pile of clothes in your room that needs to be put away? When was the last time you made your bed? Are the dishes done?
.
Or are these seemingly small tasks too daunting? Do you need a nap, a bath, to get some fresh air, or lovingly move your body?
.
If you're feeling completely unmotivated to complete tasks, what are you motivated to do? Are you called to work on your art, catch up on your favorite show, or play with the kids or pets?
.
The main goal is to take care of you in ways that recharge your batteries and give you a solid foundation to return to when you feel overwhelmed or out of control.
.
One nice shift will be Mercury Stationing Direct tomorrow! Remember to mind the shadow for the next week or so!
.
I made you a simple yet impactful spread for you to connect deeper with this energy.
