STEP AWAY FROM PERFECTION

This New Moon at 21'59 of Virgo is starting a journey of healing particularly around the inherent need you hold to be perfect. This is something that lives within all of us, and even if you think that you're ok with things not being 'perfect' take a second and look at where you try to control - for that is the mark of this energy. Perfection isn't just about being idealistic, it is fundamentally about that deeper need to be in charge of your circumstances. That manifest through the act of judgment. As one soulful teacher I met said - whatever you judge you get to keep.

DON'T ARGUE WITH REALITY

This is a New Moon encouraging you to see where self-judgement is at play, for when we judge we draw blood (so to speak). It's important to look at where you are demanding perfection by wishing for circumstances that are different from the reality that presents itself in front of you. To quote Byron Katie: 'When I argue with reality, I loose but only 100% percent of the time' (I love that quote). As this New Moon will be aligned with the fixed star Denebola (which is the tail of the lion) it is quite literally saying to you - don't pull the ‘lion’s tale’. Meaning don't taunt or torment yourself with unrealistic expectations that you create through judgement. Remember that everything you judge externally is actually rooted in how you judge yourself. So it might just be time to lighten up, and have a little more self-compassion (just, maybe).

WISDOM IS KEY TO UNLOCK THIS ENERGY

One of the biggest energies that can rear it's head with any Virgo Moon is shame. We all hold it, and it is very often why we judge others - because we first judge (or shame) ourselves). Pallas Athena, who represents fearless wisdom, sits next to the New Moon lending you her unending council. She is offering you the courage to see beyond the cloud of ignorance that shame creates in order to find clarity + truth. This is a New Moon that is calling for you to ground, to be humble and if you are called to act to do so decisively + justly. Her compassionate courage can give you to necessary momentum to stop being so hard on yourself (+ others) and find that river of unending compassion that lives within you.

CAREFUL OF THE 'INTUITION'

This New Moon will be in opposition to Neptune, thus the fog can be very thick when searching for answers. Neptune rules both the subconscious (your non-conscious programming) and the superconscious (divine intuition). As such be very careful when listening to your intuition during this New Moon as you might find that you mistake intuition for ignorance. As such if something feels deeply emotional or triggering, you can guarantee that is the subconscious being felt and not the peace of genuine intuition. This is actually a 6 month cycle (from New Moon in Virgo to Full Moon in Virgo) which is helping you to understand this. To see what is wisdom from what is just 'garbage' of the mind.

START PROACTIVELY CARING FOR YOURSELF

Virgo energy is intimately linked to your health and wellbeing - both physically + mentally. As such this coming Moon cycle is asking for you to consider how your daily routine is supporting your energy. If you've recently fallen out of routine (like you've stopped meditating, exercising, eating how you know works for your body etc) then this New Moon can be a bit of a wake up call. It is demanding that you put in place plans to care for yourself, so that you can ultimately be of greater service. This means getting comfortable with rest, with prioritising your morning or evening routine as well as coming to grips with the games the mind likes to play when things are going well (and there is seemingly no need for routine in the eyes of the mind). As Medusa will be in beautiful tension with the Moon, this is a sign to invest in your wellbeing and with that get comfortable with knowing your boundaries and when to say no.

COLLECTIVE CHANGE IS AT PLAY

Underpinning this New Moon is a collective karmic cycle that will take us all through to the 24th of February 2024, and will have lasting ramification until the 15th of March, 2025. As the Moon will be in harmony with Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto (all collective planets) there is a sense of flow within the broader consciousness we all share to care for each other. That can manifest as a sudden shift in how we understand mental health, advances in technology which might actually help us better regulate our bodies and even a deeper call for us to remember our connection to one other - and compassion. At it's heart this Moon is encouraging self-less service, to start to see god within yourself...and by extension in everyone around you ....regardless of the personality they are wearing in this lifetime.
