A New Moon Ritual for You

The new moon in Virgo, an earth sign known for attention to detail, organization, and health and wellness means these qualities are enhanced so it's an opportune time to focus on new beginnings and setting goals.

A simple new moon ritual you can do to promote peace and increase your intuition:

1. Choose a comfortable space: Warm September evenings are perfect for sitting outside to strengthen your magical connection with nature and the moon.
   
   
2. Gathering supplies: choose items like a blanket, bolster, or yoga mat to sit on, candles, matches, a journal or notepad, a pen, and anything else that holds personal personal significance for you.
   
   
3. Setting the stage: Set up a small altar or sacred space using your blanket or mat. Place the candles and any other objects that are meaningful to you on the altar. You can also add crystals, flowers, or symbols associated with the moon.
   
   
4. Opening meditation: Begin by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself. Close your eyes and visualize the moon's gentle energy surrounding you. Set an intention for the ceremony, such as inviting new beginnings, creativity, or self-reflection.
   
   
5. Moon appreciation: Take a moment to simply observe the moon’s dark sillouette. Reflect on its beauty and the symbolism it holds for you. Consider how the moon's energy influences your life and emotions.
   
   
6. Journaling and Intentions: Take your journal or notepad and write down your intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle. Think about what you want to manifest, release, or focus on during this time. Write your intentions in the present tense, as if they have already come true. Be as specific as possible.
   
   
7. Candle Ritual: Light the candle on your altar, focusing on the intention you've set. As each candle is lit, repeat your intentions aloud or silently in your mind. Allow the light of the candles to symbolize the illumination of your intentions.
   
   
8. Closing Meditation: Find a comfortable seated position and close your eyes. Take a few moments to reflect on the ceremony you've just completed and the intentions you've set. Visualize your intentions manifesting and feel gratitude for the opportunity to connect with the moon's energy.
   
   
9. Closing the Ceremony: Blow out the candles on your altar and take a final moment to soak in the energy of the new moon. You can leave your altar set up overnight or for as long as you feel is appropriate.
   

Remember, this new moon ceremony is meant to be a personal and enjoyable experience. Always design the ritual in a way that feels the most supportive and comfortable to you for connecting with the energy of the new moon. Enjoy the process and life with ritual.
