The New Moon is often thought of as a time for New Beginnings as it is the first phase in the Moon Cycle. It’s a time when the sun and the moon meet up in the sky from our perspective on earth. The moon is hidden. Like a seed underground, like a sperm meeting and egg, symbolizing the beginning process of gestation. It is a powerful time to set new intentions or re-commit to our path. It’s a time when the ground is fertile and wet, making it the best time to plant seeds in the garden, as well as in our hearts. The new moon is an invitation to start fresh. To use the darkness to visualize and dream.

Virgo New Moon 2020
Happy New Moon, friends!
VIRGO
This Moon is in Virgo so it contains Earth energy that is oriented toward practical and reliable ways to be of service. Energy that is concerned with being orderly, detail oriented, hardworking, selfless, precise, analytical. Or it can manifest as perfectionism, nit-picking, lost in details, skeptical, critical or workaholism.
This tension can balanced by being present, practicing gratitude and being a part of something greater than ourselves
Storytime: Honor and Reflect
Something that has been coming up for me this Virgo season is noticing how my dreams are directly related to my fears. It’s almost like they are just different sides of the same coin.
For example, my desire to be detail oriented so that I can be truly great at something, to excel and give it my all often turns to “perfectionism” or “workaholism” and it activates this deep fear of “Not Being Good Enough”. But it’s this ambitious energy, this passion to do something to the best of my ability that drives me. So it’s a really interesting, energetic dance. And as long as I stay aware and practice self compassion, it can even be fun and insightful!
Another dream/fear combo I am experiencing is this Freedom to express myself and this Fear of “what others will think”. This leads me down the path to PLEASING, which leads me to putting other people’s needs/wants before my own and this leads me to feeling RESENTFUL and just unsatisfied and also feeling neglected. Ultimately, I see this is a form of Self Abandonment, causing major Self Worth Problems.
As I sit back and look at my New Moon List, I am noticing this invitation to step into my Power. An invitation to believe in myself. An opportunity to actively choose FAITH over FEAR. This moon cycle I intend to rest before I quit. I vow to be relentless in my devotion to the Life I have dreamed up. Perseverance is my word.

Love from Above, a poem
A surprise gift,
a calling
from the Divine,
comes in the form
of two little blue lines.
A message
that I must
raise, nurture and guide
not only one,
but two young lives.
Like a Summer thunderstorm
without warning,
waves of emotion
roll over me.
The doubts rain down
and the light disappears.
“I’m scared.
I’m not ready.
I need more time to prepare.
I need more time to save.
I need more time to become
mentally, spiritually and physically brave.”
Although, I know deep in my soul
that my worries will fade
with a little self trust
and a whole lot of faith.
I can bring the Light back
I’ve done it before.
I can do it again.
To believe in my power
is how I will begin.
I look back at the little blue lines,
one standing beside the other
and smile thinking of River
becoming a big brother.
The fears begin to settle
along with the restless butterflies.
Just in time
for the quarter moon to rise.
Before I fall asleep and dream
of our family of four,
I give thanks to the Love from above
for giving us new Life once more.
