Wellness & Self-Care Rituals for the New Moon in Virgo
What does New Moon mean in astrology?
A new moon happens when the moon & sun meet up in the same sign & form an exact conjunction, causing the moon to look like it has disappeared from the sky. This event starts a new lunar cycle. New Moons represent new beginnings, clean slates, & unlimited possibilities. It’s time to plant seeds!
The New Moon in Virgo means it’s time to focus on the details!
Virgos can get a bad rap for being overly meticulous & overthinking every little thing, especially if they are not shy to share their insights & ask questions. These thoughts aren’t rooted in criticism though; they genuinely want to understand the cause & effect of every situation, mostly to ease their anxious racing minds.
When the New Moon is in Virgo, it is an excellent time to focus on organization, material pursuits, & new habits that nourish your mind, body & soul. Think about a goal that you want & can accomplish in the next six months. Set your intentions & manifestations, make moves during the next six months regarding them & check in on them with the Virgo Full Moon.
Virgo New Moon Rituals
It’s time to clean house, release what no longer serves you
Literally & figuratively, let’s take out our trash. Limiting beliefs? Toss them. The stack of mail living in the bin on your desk for months? Rifle through it & scrap it. Unwanted negative thoughts, sweep them out the door of your mind. (Keep that broom handy, though, they are persistent bastards sometimes.) You can clear out internal stuff, behavioral issues, material things, or relationships that no longer serve you. Clutter that you must move around regularly? Your time is the most valuable thing you own. Spend less of it mopping up the same messes over & over again.
Start a habit that nourishes your mind, body & soul
Glennon Doyle, the author of NYTimes Best Seller “Untamed,” began her practice in the deep darkness of her closet. Maybe you connect with your magick with certain rituals that you do on the regular. Perhaps you dance daily, watch the trees sway in the breeze, practice intuitive painting, write poetry, read on the porch in the evenings, whatever nourishes you fully & wholly, do more of those things often.
Sweep away your past
You don’t have to hold on to every little thing, love. Sweep, sweep the ground. Negative energy shall be bound. Banish all harm, spoil, & pain; only positive shall remain.
It’s the perfect time to work on materialistic goals, so start that project or business
Fun Fact: I launched this website on a Virgo New Moon! Tap into that back-to-school clean slate energy & pick up the practice of turning something you’re passionate about into a passive stream of income. You won’t regret it.
Sharpen your detail-oriented focus, take more breaks, look around, stretch
Though Virgo energy is all about getting shit done, stop glamorizing the grind, move more, get outside, put your face in the sun, watch the lightning bugs dance in the evening, bake a pie!
Detox your wardrobe
Have clothes you haven’t worn in a hot minute? Maybe you have an outfit that your ex really loved or an outfit that drudges up bad memories. Reconsider the space they take up in your closet & your head.
