The New Moon slips into Virgo (August 23rd) like a quiet inhale before the match strikes. It’s not an eclipse, but it opens the door to one. Pulling us into a cycle that will peak in September’s Pisces Lunar Eclipse. This is the kind of moon that whispers: Bring your spirit into your body. Make your life a ritual. Virgo isn’t here for shallow change. She wants you to rebuild from the roots up, just as you nourish yourself, tend to your days, and make meaning in the small hours that no one sees. Let this lunation be your invitation to soften the old rules, to stop waiting for the *perfect* time, and to begin living in a way that feels like home in your own skin. Tonight, under the dark sky, choose one small sacred act. Light the match. Start the fire. An intention for this new moon: I choose to root myself in what feels nourishing and real.
