Like many of you, my heart aches in response to the senseless violence and hatred we see in the world today. It can feel overwhelming at times, but I recently came across a simple yet powerful reminder: though our hope may be cracked, it is not broken. Together, we have the resilience to move forward and navigate the challenges that life presents.
This New Moon carries with it a message of healing and possibility. While the suffering and trauma we witness may weigh heavily on our spirits, there is also an opportunity to reset, to shift, and to begin anew. The eclipses on the horizon promise change, as they often do, but within that change lies the potential for transformation. Even though I’m not an astrologer, I sense this energy in the air—the invitation to release what no longer serves us and to embrace the growth that awaits.
This New Moon in Virgo is a powerful time for a reset and to set intention. Let's use it to shed old, outdated patterns—especially those rooted in fear, hatred, lack, and limitation. We have the chance to create space for new energies of love, peace, and abundance to take root in our lives.
I encourage you to take some time for yourself in the coming days. Practice self-care in whatever form it takes for you. Stay grounded, nourish your body and soul, and most importantly, be gentle with yourself during this time of transition.
Journal Prompts for Reflection:
If my work were a person, how would I describe our relationship? What changes would I like to make to ensure its healthier and more fulfilling?
If my creative expression had a voice, what would it say about what wants to emerge? How would it like to be shared with the world?
If my life were a person, what would it want to tell me about how I treat it? What support does it need from me to thrive?
After reflecting on these prompts, I invite you to engage in a simple ritual: take a cord or string and tie a knot for each action you commit to this month—actions that will strengthen and expand these relationships in your life. Let these knots be symbols of the love, joy, and abundance you are ready to welcome into your experience.
May this season of transformation bring you clarity, peace, and a deep sense of renewal. As always, I am here to guide you on this journey.
