explore the energy of the new moon in virgo

The New Moon in Virgo is an initiation on the isle of Avalon. Tend the temple.
Awaken to something Higher.
Bask in the dawn of a new relationship with Spirit.
Elevate out of the mundane + into the sacred.
The New Moon is exact at 0° Virgo, forming a square to Uranus at 1° Gemini, drawing our focus to all of the ways in which our innate technologies – the wisdom of our bodies + our spiritual DNA – support our legacy of service.
The divine tension of this square also illuminates the inherited patterns + embodied belief systems that limit our expansion, that cast doubt upon our power of adaptation + transmutation, that lure us away from our true nature as a conduit for heaven on earth.
Under this Moon, declare your devotion.
In this darkness, embrace your shadow in a transformative glow.
At this threshold, unburden your Self.
This is the first of two times that the moon will be new in Virgo, and marks the gateway of Eclipse Season – featuring a Total Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) in Pisces on September 7 and a Partial Solar Eclipse (New Moon) in Virgo on September 21.
Use this time to get your mind right as we approach a season of transformation + cosmic reset. The changes ushered in under these Eclipses will continue to unfold for the next 6 months. Center in clarity.

About Auburn Lily
My heart found its home in Appalachia in 2009. A dormant mystic, the magick in these mountains awakened me from my spiritual slumber. And so, I started The Work: remembering forgotten secrets, uncovering new truths and honing my personal power, with the fruits of the earth and the secrets of the stars as my tools.
