New Moon Prayer

I embrace self-love and growth with each passing day. I strive to release and relinquish my stresses and anxieties as I navigate life’s challenges. Today, I dedicate myself to nourishing my physical and spiritual well-being, purging any obstacles, triggers, or fears that hinder my progress. I bask in a sense of weightlessness, basking in the openness that permeates my being. Deep within, I am aware of my inherent love and worth. My energy is shielded and purified, granting me clarity and protection. Gratitude fills my heart as I express my profound appreciation. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

On September 14, 2023, the Virgo New Moon arrives amidst a powerful retrograde season with six major planets in retrograde motion. This abundance of retrograde energy draws you inward and prompts you to reflect on the past before moving forward. It may feel like life has reached a standstill, or you are unsure how to navigate. However, this New Moon acts as a turning point, laying the groundwork for the changes that are destined to come.

While all the current retrograde activity may leave you stagnant, it can also be a welcomed relief. Taking a moment to sit with the present circumstances allows you to understand and accept them entirely. Doing so makes you better prepared to move forward when the time is right.

Virgo, being an earth sign, symbolizes grounding and stability. The Virgin Goddess represents Virgo, reminding you of your inner divinity and power. This New Moon calls you to connect with the energies of the Virgin Goddess and recognize that everything you need is already within you. Like the Virgin Goddess, YOU are in charge of your life and have the strength, wisdom, and knowledge necessary for the journey ahead.

On a practical level, the Virgo New Moon encourages you to plan, create schedules, and get organized. This systematic approach helps you tackle tasks and responsibilities effectively.

Under this New Moon, Uranus, the planet of awakening and change, brings an element of instability. You may feel uncertain about the future, but this can lead to an awakening. Neptune, the planet of dreams and illusions, also plays a role during this time. It may create a sense of confusion or fogginess as to what choices you need to make, but its purpose is to guide you to listen to your inner wisdom and intuition.

Additionally, Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, ends its retrograde journey around the same time as the New Moon. Pay attention to any messages or signs that come your way during this period, as they may hold essential insights or guidance.

The Virgo New Moon prepares you for change as it is the last New Moon before the Equinox and before Eclipse Season begins, which means it sets the foundation for future changes destined to come. While you will still feel the stagnancy from all the retrograde activity, this New Moon acts as a turning point, lighting a path to help release you from the old.

Remember, you are not just a mere passenger in this life journey – you are a sovereign being brimming with wisdom and knowledge. Take a step back, reflect on where you’ve been, and envision where you want to go. In this pause lies the power to realign your path and embark on a journey true to your heart’s desires. Embrace the energy of Pachamama, the great Earth herself, and let her stability infuse your being.

Aho, Amen.
