New Moon in Virgo - Ritual, Sacred Service & The Rhythms of Nature

Friday, August 30th brings the New Moon in Virgo.
At this time, we will have a pile up of energy in Virgo, including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars.
With 9 planets in earth signs and 7 planets in the mutable signs - this is definitely all about the Mutable Earth energy of Virgo.
A trine to Uranus in Taurus can bring us something unexpected but ultimately helpful if we choose to harness the energy. At it’s best, Virgo is the priestess or priest – (not in a religious sense) – here to do sacred work and be of service to the world. The archetype of the medicine woman, the wise one, the witch who knows how to use the magic of the earth.

Virgo is ultimately about working with nature, and the knowing that everything is perfect just as it is – the key is to work with it, rather than against it. Virgo Season is a time to cleanse, purify, harvest, start new routines, bring more efficiency into your existing routines, evaluate your health, consider what your sacred work is, bring ritual and ceremony into your life, connect intimately with the rhythms of nature and use those to your advantage rather than working against them. It is a time of doing the practical work to improve your life and the lives of those around you.

The Sun God, The Rising of Sirius and Jupiter Direct - Gifted

This week is full of abundance, manifestation, gratitude, forward momentum, and harvest. It's the time of year that the Ancient Egyptians considered their New Year. The peak of the Sun's power and the opening of the Lion's Gate Portal when Dog Star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky rises and gifts us. The Celts celebrate Lammas or the festival of Lugh (The Sun God) at this time of year as well.

And if that weren't enough, we have Jupiter, the planet of abundance, growth, expansion, meaning, and wisdom also gifting us as he is finally stationing direct this week.
Shine On, Brave Souls! Shine On!
