New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Virgo
Sunday, September 21 @1:53 PM MST
Happy New Moon in Virgo!
We are in the powerful time of transformation that is eclipse season, as well as in the second new moon in Virgo. Emotions typically run high as eclipses challenge us to truly look within and see what needs to be cleared in our life.
New Moons are potent times of manifestation. It is a time of dreaming and doing, of taking action steps to make your dreams a reality. It is a time of stepping through portals. Eclipses give us clarity towards what we need to shake off, what weight we need to release in order to reach our dream selves. Spoiler alert: you already have everything inside you to be your dream self.
Virgo, ruled by Mercury, ends the summer season. It has been a season of change and decluttering (as Virgo loves). It’s been a season of enjoyment of summer, as well as starting to slow down and get ready for the shift into autumn.
This New Moon grants us the chance to look inward and focus on ourselves - to pour more love into our own cups - so that we can further pour out that love into the community. The more we heal ourselves, the more we can help the collective.
Virgo loves to organize, to supposedly get their lives in order (even if order means something different to everyone). The solar eclipse is asking us to declutter what is no longer serving so that we can keep manifesting our dream life. Remember, we may intentionally declutter what no longer serves - and if we also ask the universe to clear out what is in our way, unexpected changes may come into our sphere.
If a relationship, work opportunity, or shift happens unexpectedly - trust. Trust that this is for the best. Trust that what is choosing to leave your sphere is for the best - so that you can further call in what does serve you.
Commit to yourself during this time. Show yourself that you can keep your promises to the most important person in your life (that’s you). Make a pact to take the steps to live your most authentic life and follow through with your dreams and desires. You are worthy of this. You are worthy of the change you are desiring.
Virgo season is a season all about unleveling. Remember that unleveling can bring about feelings of discomfort and change. Work through these levels of discomfort. Show yourself that you can get a little uncomfortable so that you can continue to soar into your dream life.
It’s the last day of summer. Revel in the last golden rays of summer of 2025. Go swing in the park. Lay outside under the sun and watch the sky change from day to night. Be present with the shift of seasons. Feel gratitude towards the earth that we get to experience the seasons. What a beautiful gift.
ALIGNED ACTION
It’s the last day of summer. Put on a summer-y outfit. Play some summer music as you pour yourself an iced tea and eat some fruit. Head outside to sit in the grass and under the last day of sunshine (of summer 2025, we are hoping sunshine stays through autumn)! Bring out the letter you wrote to yourself during the first New Moon at the beginning of Virgo season. If you didn’t write yourself a letter then, think back on what you were feeling and your goals. Think about how much has changed in such a short amount of time. Read the letter, and then write down how your life has shifted in the last month - both in all the big and small ways. Revel in the shifts that have happened. Consider the ways the shifts could have been bigger (with grace) and think about how you can make those steps towards your dream life in the next month. Virgo loves to get practical and realistic. Commit to yourself. The more love we pour into ourselves, the more love we can pour out.
JOURNAL QUESTIONS
How can I fill my own cup more? Remember, when we fill our cup, it becomes overflowing so that we can fill others.
How can I romanticize decluttering my life? When we get clarity in all areas of our life, we welcome in more opportunities in multiple ways.
What is a hobby I have been wanting to try? What step can I take towards deciding to try it?
As always, thank you for being here. I am so grateful to the moon cycle to give me pause for reflection.
I can’t wait to see what you do to continue building your dream life.
with all the love,
markie
