For centuries, people have used the new moon as a time to reset, to go within and reflect on where they are and where they want to go. There is something magical about using the new moon as a time to get real about what you want to achieve.
This week's New Moon in Virgo is the first new moon after the chaos of summer and I believe it's the perfect opportunity to hit pause on real-life, find a quiet place and really connect with where you are in life. The summer months can really pull us off track and if there was ever an excuse for a seasonal reset, this weeks new moon is probably the best.
When I set this blog up, it was with the clear intention to take the lessons of our ancestors, their wisdom and beliefs and turn it into rituals that we can use in our busy, modern day lives.
A time to reset. A time to plan.
This week (Thur and Fri) as we reach the New Moon in Virgo, get your journal or notes app and take some time to do an inventory of your life... what's not working, what needs to change, where do you want to be? Get real, be honest with yourself and be as detailed as possible.
Change is on the air. Embrace it.
You only have to look to nature and you can see that change is in the air as summer begins to loosen it's grip and autumn starts to reintroduce itself.
Virgo energy is all about getting things in order and sorting out your affairs. This is the perfect time to make a plan and to set your intentions.
- Write down what you want to achieve, put as much details as possible into it.
- Give each goal/dream/wish it's own affirmation and write it out.
- Set intentions for each goal/dream/wish, these intentions are the steps that you will take to bring your goals to life. Make a plan, small steps forward to achieve your goals.
For example, here is what you could put if you want to loose weight or live a healthier lifestyle:
GOAL: I want to reconnect with my health and fitness goals. I want to loose weight, feel healthier, improve my sleep and feel better about myself. I want to look and feel great.
AFFIRMATION: I am loving living a healthier lifestyle and I am so excited to reach my target weight. It feels so good to nourish my body with a healthy diet and I am loving how great I feel.
INTENTIONS: I intend to make time in my day to exercise. I intend to make wholesome, nourishing meals. I intend to get my steps in. I intend to count my calories and macros. I intend to focus on getting better sleep. I intend to ask for help when needed.
Setting a goal is one thing, but turning that goal into action is where the magic happens. You have to put the work in and you have to keep pushing forward.
This is the perfect time to reset and to make a plan. Even the smallest of goals will benefit from this practice. Make some time this week to connect with the energy of the New Moon in Virgo... sorting things out, getting clear about where you are and make a plan. Then take action, embrace change and put the work in.
