A new moon in Virgo will be happening September 2, 2024 and I wanna talk about some things we can be doing to utilize this energy to propel us into our dream reality.
First off, when a new moon happens, the moon is completely covered and we are thrust into darkness
But from that darkness, seeds have the potential to grow into something better than you would’ve imagined.
The moon is in the Balsamic Phase currently and this is a time for surrender and rest. No more planning, trying to ahead or criticizing yourself for what didn’t get done. Let your work be done and allow The Divine to do the rest. I want everyone to sit and be as present as possible even if it doesn’t feel good.
The next few days, we will be setting our intentions for the next month and creating a plan, ensuring our daily actions are in alignment with our goals.
We do this when the sky is dark because it’s seen as planting a seed deep into the Earth's soil so they can bloom, making their way out of the dark when the time is right.
Here, we are doing the same thing. We are taking note of our desires, planting cosmic needs and making plans with the Divine and our Highest Self to ensure that when the time is right, you too will be removed from the dark and evolve into something even more beautiful.
Technically, the seeds you wish to plant are up to you but I challenge you to look deep within yourself and pull out the ones that you’d wouldn’t dare to say aloud.
Breathe life into yourself and the versions of you, you only daydream of being.
If you’re having trouble being honest with yourself about what you wish to do, it may be time for some shadow work. You can do this in a variety of ways:
- Journal prompts that ask you about your childhood and where your insecurities were birthed
- Deity / Spirit Work, ask Spirits you already commune with to help you get a deeper understanding of yourself as or use reach out to one resonate with.
- Divination which could mean tarot cards, dream interpretation, rune casting, anything you used to get direct answers from The Divine
I recommend you all look into the story of Lilith and the energy she represents, especially since the New Moon is known to be very sacred to her.
She is primordial, raw feminine energy.
She is fierce and requires radical self acceptance.
With her there is no burying your truth or allowing yourself to live a life where you’re unfulfilled.
You can get to know her by looking at your birth charts. The Black Moon Lilith tells us what desires we keep most hidden because you fear criticism and judgment.
If you wish to know more, e-mail me and I will be glad to either advise you on how to research and apply this placement or I’ll read it myself. It will be a combination of tarot and looking into your astrology chart and will be booked through the website.
Getting to know this energy spiritually forces you to confront your fears and figure out why you bury certain desires in the first place. You will be forced to come out of hiding and embody the most authentic and confident version of yourself
Lilith and the new moon are tied together because with Lilith, we learn to bring out our deepest desires, plant them like seeds and allow Lilith to breathe life into them. During this moon phase, the sky is dark, representing the soil we plant things in for them to grow. As I mentioned earlier, setting your intentions with the new moon represents planting cosmic seeds with The Divine.
Allow yourself to dig deep within and pull out any dreams or plans that you told yourself would never happen or you don’t feel worthy enough to hold.
This time is all about transformation and rebirth. It's about leaving the past behind and completely transforming into a new state of being. And Lilith is here to walk this us on that journey on our way back to our truest selves
How to prepare for New Moon
- Look at current moon phase, Balsamic, and see what’s being asked of you
- Write intentions, set goals, clean your closet. Tend to anything you’ve been neglecting if you wish
- On the day of the Moon phase, write down what you wish to shed. Any self sabotaging thought patterns, behaviors and daily processes that push you farther from your highest self. Also include what you'd like to have accomplished by the end of the month
- Ensure that any daily to do list you create is in alignment with the intentions you've set for yourself
Be on the lookout for part two!
