9/2/2024: New Moon in Virgo

Today, we’re going to explore the New Moon in Virgo—and how this astrological energy offers an invitation to create order, find clarity, and nourish ourselves in practical, grounded ways.

The New Moon is a time of new beginnings, and in Virgo, it asks us to focus on the small steps that build a foundation for long-term healing. Virgo is an Earth sign, and its energy is rooted in practicality, structure, and attention to detail. It encourages us to pay attention to our daily routines, to care for our physical and mental health, and to make choices that support our recovery one day at a time.

For us in recovery, this New Moon offers a powerful opportunity to reflect on how we can bring more order, stability, and care into our lives. Virgo’s energy reminds us that healing isn’t a one-time event—it’s a process that unfolds gradually, with each step, each choice, and each moment of self-compassion.

The New Moon in Virgo invites us to examine our daily habits and routines. Virgo’s energy is meticulous, reminding us that healing and recovery often happen in the small, seemingly mundane moments. It’s the morning meditation, the act of making a healthy meal, the commitment to staying present with our emotions instead of avoiding them. These small actions may seem insignificant on their own, but over time, they create a foundation of strength and stability in our recovery.

For many of us, recovery is about rebuilding trust with ourselves. Virgo supports this by encouraging us to be consistent and reliable in the way we care for ourselves. It’s not about perfection—Virgo knows that perfection is unattainable. Instead, it’s about doing our best each day, showing up for ourselves, and trusting that these small acts of self-care will lead to deeper healing.

The New Moon in Virgo is also a time for cleansing and purification. This is a great opportunity to look at what no longer serves us—whether it’s an old habit, a limiting belief, or even clutter in our physical space—and to let it go. Virgo’s energy encourages us to simplify, to create space for what truly matters, and to bring a sense of clarity and purpose to our healing journey.

I’d like to introduce some optional prompts for reflection and sharing. 

1. What small, practical changes can you make in your daily routine that will support your recovery?
2. Where in your life could you bring more order or structure to create a greater sense of peace and stability?
3. What is one thing you’re ready to release—a habit, belief, or behavior—that no longer serves your healing?

I’d like to share a personal story about how the energy of Virgo has impacted me on my own healing journey. During a previous New Moon in Virgo, I felt an intense call to bring more structure and routine into my life. I had been feeling scattered, overwhelmed by the demands of recovery and life, and it was affecting my sense of balance and peace.

I remember taking small steps—starting a morning routine, organizing my space, committing to daily journaling. At first, these actions felt insignificant, but over time, I began to notice how much more grounded and centered I felt. My recovery didn’t feel as chaotic, and I started to trust myself more as I created habits that supported my well-being. Virgo’s energy helped me see that it’s not about doing everything perfectly; it’s about showing up consistently, with care and intention. 

As we move forward, I encourage you to carry the energy of this New Moon with you. Continue to reflect on how you can create routines, habits, and structures that support your recovery. Where can you simplify? Where can you let go of what no longer serves you? And how can you honor your healing by showing up for yourself, one day at a time?
