Weekly Insights: Virgo New Moon Insights...

Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury, and Mercury governs over our Nervous System, Throat Chakra, communication, the mind, and our ability to be adaptable in life. This New Moon opens the channels of communication and helps us show up for ourselves and others. Virgo is an Earth sign that brings a time of grounding and renewal. It is a pivot point during this Universal Mercury Period to use the mind and discernment to make the best decisions. This is a great time for positive change, and shifting the things that aren't working. Whether it be in health, daily routines, or bringing order to chaos, this New Moon asks us to plant seeds of new patterns and habits that serve the greater good of all. It is through small and intentional changes that we can make big shifts over time.

Small shifts can manifest out of very simple actions like cleaning our personal spaces, eating healthy and nourishing foods, developing a morning spiritual routine, or becoming more aligned to a more harmonious and balanced way of living. It is never about being "perfect", but instead about choosing a healthy and more Loving, sustainable, and aligned way of living.

The mind is where all changes begin, and the mind is the place that can view things from both a microscope and a broad perspective at the same time. Mercury supports Virgo in being a force that guides transformation shifts, but sometimes we don't need to change our entire lives. When we look at change through a smaller lens, we can see clearly what actually matters. Sometimes one very important conversation, piece of information, or different perspective can change everything. Switching gears can help to support our future and the people we are becoming. Every little habit we have affects who we become. The amount of hours we sleep, our daily routines, nutrition, exercise, work habits, technology, and time management between our obligations and nourishing creations, all work together to make us who we are today and tomorrow. Instead of criticizing, creating shame, and rejecting ourselves, we can choose to make adjustments, believe in our improvements, and let go of our judgements. We only need to listen to the voice within to know what direction to go. More sleep, different foods, more movement, less stimulation, more nature, an increase in peace, and a decrease in stress all tend to scream at us until we make the choice to change.

What we believe is true because the body and heart follow the direction of the mind. If we want to change the mind, we have to shift the breath and feed the brain healthy material to consume. We have to choose words that align to who we want to be, keep healthy boundaries, and only invite in energies that deserve our attention. When we focus on what is necessary to our lives, our growth, and our futures, then we are sending a signal to the Universe that we are ready for positive change. This Virgo New Moon asks us to use the heart as a guide to move us toward our higher purpose in order to serve and express our gifts. Any areas that feel like they are depleting us need to be addressed. Sometimes change can look like receiving outside help. When we start choosing Love, and we stop neglecting ourselves, trying to fix others, or taking responsibility for things that have never belonged to us, then we can manifest what we really want instead of getting stuck with problems we never asked for. This is a wonderful opportunity to make the necessary shifts and changes that help us become more healthy, happy, and successful. Happy New Moon To All!
