New Moon Musings | September 2023
As we sit at the cusp of a new season, I am welcoming all that is changing, evolving + being recapitulated for the highest good. This summer was perhaps one of the most challenging I’ve personally experienced, and I’m ready to say goodbye.
Our New Moon currently sits in a dark void among the stars of the constellation of Virgo. She is inviting you home into your body + to the beauty you wish to see in the world. Before you can create the world you desire, you must reflect on what beauty is present to you here now. Have you been taking it for granted? Gratitude is key, and often overlooked. Where have you been missing the beauty, the goodness, the point? How do you currently contribute to the beauty of life? How balanced is give and take in your relationships?
In order to truly contribute, offer our gifts and serve the greater good, we must show up unapologetically, consistently and on purpose.
“But what’s my purpose?!”
Well, only you can answer that… but if my two cents matter, I believe it has a lot to do with what really lights you up. What is it that simultaneously brings you enthusiasm, joy + contentmen? I feel that when you are living your purpose, you are aligned in your values and it shows… it elevates and inspires others.
As we move toward Autumn Equinox, an inward seasonal shift, it is the time to prepare your mind, body + space for rest and recalibration.
Virgo vibes include everything wellbeing, and if we want to feel “well” we have to look at our habits.
New Moon time is always a beautiful invitation to get intentional with how we want the next cycle to look, and the autumnal equinox is a still point of reflection to discern how we can align ourselves in order to bloom the following year.
In this void energy, take this moment to reflect with gratitude on the final days of summer. Make the time to take late summer strolls, enjoying nature, the colourful blooms, and the extroverted energy of people outdoors making the most of the last of the warmer days of the year.
If our life is like a garden, when we prepare for the fall, it means we start to remove away anything that is overgrown, wilting, dried out or finished, and acknowledge what blossomed, what flourished, and what you can harvest for nourishment.
In this cleansing process, honour what didn’t bloom, or what you have been putting energy into, and clearly it’s not yielding fruit… it’s time to reclaim and rest in your power.
Forgive yourself, reflect, and vow to try something different next time. It’s about making the space, to contemplate, tidy and refine.
This time seasonally, we begin to prepare the soil for next years growth.
Every mindful action we take in devotion to our mental, physical + emotional health now, pays dividends toward our future self.
This new moon is potent time to get quiet and observe your larger purpose. Choose rituals and routines in support of how you’re here to serve, and commit to them in small, sustainable ways. The rewards will be revealed in how you feel for months to come.
May you hold the frequency of your highest self, and set yourself up for success in the daily devotions that honour that version of you.
Embrace the transitions, lessons, and trust you are supported on your path of personal evolution.
