Virgo New Moon: 10 September

Image captured by me. 🌿

Returning to the shadow side of the moon once again after a series of intense eclipses, and now more than ever it is a moment to really feel your feet on the ground. Grounding. Counselors and psychologists don't just say it for nothing. Grounding is a spiritual act just as much as it is human.

The New Moon phase doesn't ask much, as it is a period of rest and renewal. If you have restless energy, channel it into cleaning up your house. Virgo governs day-to-day life, so putting a focus point on your living space during this time can make a real impact.

I like to follow the Marie Kondo method when tidying. If you're someone that likes to buy lots of things or gets sentimental about your belongings, this can be especially helpful. Part of the method is to hold the belonging in your hands and ask yourself, 'does this spark joy'?

If the answer is an immediate yes, you keep it. If it's an unsure answer, you put it in a maybe pile and don't get rid of it (at least yet). If it's a no, you put it in a bag to go to either the nearest donation store, trash, or perhaps even sell it.

The New Moon is the strongest time to set intentions for the month ahead. No action taking or manifesting yet. Simply intention setting. Start it off with "I intend to" or "I intend for".

You can also give yourself a time frame. "I intend to ______ by the full moon".

If you have a massive goal you're looking to achieve and are working on throughout the year, I like to break it up into a smaller actions that you can take throughout the month.
