“Inner preparation”

Thursday’s Virgo New Moon asks us to prepare inwardly for future blessings, tend to our health, practice discernment and fully embody our values.

The Tarot Majors associated with this New Moon include The Hermit (Virgo), The Magician (Mercury rules Virgo) and The Empress (Venus rules Virgo’s 3rd decan). This decan also holds the stabilizing energy of the King of Pentacles and abundant generosity of the 9 of Pentacles. Together, the Tarot speaks to finding solitude and tapping into our inner wisdom to manifest a more abundant and stable future.

The Sun and Moon meet in the Cultivation Sabian Expression in Virgo 19 – A swimming race. This symbol speaks to themes of perfecting our craft, honing inner strength and self-mastery.

The I Ching activation falls in Line 2 of Hexagram 47, Oppression which advises deep contemplation and self-reflection in lieu of immediate gratification to numb exhaustion and/or inner strife. This line changes Hex 47 into Hexagram 45, Gathering Together, which relates to utilizing great talent in a productive fashion and reaching out to ancestor spirits.

Use this Virgo New Moon to go inward, tend only to what you can control and intentionally call upon ancestral wisdom.
