The New Moon in Virgo on September 14th at 6:40 pm PST aligns perfectly with the idea of a “cosmic tune-up.” Virgo, ruled by Mercury, is known for its exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail. This lunar phase provides a unique opportunity to harness these energies. It’s a time to check-in, reflect on your year so far including accomplishments, and set intentions for the remainder of the year.

Why Virgo?

Virgo’s connection to Mercury, the planet of communication, lends it a strong emphasis on clear and precise expression. This makes it an ideal time to focus on your thoughts and goals, analyze what is working for you and what isn’t. Virgo’s organizational prowess encourages us to sort through your aspirations, streamline your plans, and get organized for the journey ahead.

Before diving into the ritual, take a moment to check in with yourself. Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and center your thoughts. 

Writing Ritual Steps:

1. Gather supplies: Meta Muse journal, pen, essential oil of your choice (Orange/Citrus scents are great for creativity), candle (blue is good for writing, but white will work as well). Use incense or dried herbs to cleanse the space before you begin.
2. Begin with gratitude. Write a list of things you’re grateful for. This list can be as simple or complex as you prefer.
3. Review your accomplishments: Write down what you set out to do and accomplished. Take your time and be detailed. This is designed to remind you how capable you are, and how far you’ve already come this year.
4. Clarify your vision: If you’ve experienced setbacks, how can you refine your approach? Describe your vision and goals for the rest of the year. How do you want to feel as you work toward them?
5. Create an action plan: Break down your vision into actionable steps. Be specific and realistic.
6. Set your intentions: Conclude the ritual by meditating on your intentions. Visualize them clearly manifesting into your life. Seal your intentions with a final affirmation. For example, “I embrace the energies of Virgo, using them to bring order and clarity into my life. With precision and purpose,  align my intentions, organize my path, and create harmonious balance within. I am ready to shine in the light of Virgo’s practical wisdom, achieving my goals with grace and determination”
7. Close out the ritual. Journal regularly and check back in your progress.

Happy Writing! 🌟🌾
