Fresh Start with the New Moon in Virgo
Hello, Butterflies! I hope all is going well as we look ahead to the New Moon in Virgo taking place on September 2, 2024.
In the easy-going mutable energy of the Virgo New Moon, we find ourselves at the cusp of personal alchemy. This incoming moon serves as a potent catalyst for meticulous self-reflection, growth, and the grounding power of routines.
This week’s connection with the spiritual guides brings messages for The Collective to challenge ourselves and find grounding with the guidance of Virgo’s lunar wisdom.
Before we get started, let’s burn a bit of Palo Santo — welcoming in the messages from the spiritual guides, and clearing out the energy that no longer serves us.
As always Butterflies, thank you all so much for your follows, likes, and subscriptions across all of Monique’s Tarot platforms.
Thank you for entrusting me on your spiritual journey.

By practicing mindfulness, we can immerse ourselves fully in the present moment, attuning our senses to the beauty and subtleties that surround us. As we cultivate this awareness, we begin to uncover the divine within the ordinary, embracing the sacredness of every action, no matter how small.
2. Embracing Self-Care as Sacred Ritual
Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect. This influence calls us to tend to our bodies, minds, and spirits with the same dedication we would apply to any meaningful endeavor. Self-care becomes a sacred ritual, where we cleanse not only our physical bodies but also our emotional and spiritual realms. Through practices such as meditation, yoga, journaling, and nourishing our bodies with wholesome foods, we create a harmonious vessel for our souls to thrive.
3. Honoring the Sacred Within Service
Virgo’s altruistic nature guides us towards acts of service and compassion. By helping others, we tap into the essence of our divinity. Service is a profound way to connect with the interconnectedness of all life and to acknowledge that our actions ripple through the fabric of existence. Engaging in acts of kindness, volunteering, or simply lending a listening ear can elevate our consciousness and remind us of the sacred bond that unites all beings.
4. Balancing Perfectionism with Self-Acceptance
Virgo’s pursuit of perfection can sometimes lead to self-criticism and unrealistic standards. During this season, it is crucial to balance the desire for improvement with self-acceptance. Recognize that growth is a continuous journey, and imperfections are part of the beautiful mosaic that makes you unique. Embrace the wisdom that true perfection lies in embracing your authentic self, flaws, and all.
5. Harmonizing the Material and Spiritual Realms
Virgo is an earth sign, emphasizing the importance of grounding our spiritual insights into the physical world. This season invites us to harmonize the material and spiritual realms, recognizing that our spiritual journey is not separate from our daily lives. Whether through mindful work, creative expression, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, we can bridge the gap between the ethereal and the tangible.
