An Intention-Setting Ritual for the New Moon in Virgo: September

The Virgo New Moon arrives in September.

It will be the final New Moon before Eclipse season begins as well as arriving just before the Equinox. 

The timing of this New Moon is important because it acts as a turning point for all the cosmic changes to come.

The energy surrounding it sets a perfect foundation for goal planning and intentions as we head into the final quarter of 2023. 

An earth sign, Virgo is represented by the Virgin, a goddess of nature, linked to the harvest, and a sovereign symbol of inner divinity.

Virgo energy urges us all to take charge of our lives, connect to our inner wisdom, and allow that to be our greatest guiding force. 

With the changes to come, this New Moon can be a very grounding, stabilizing force that we can look back upon as we chart our intentions going forward. 

Anything you do now to plan, schedule, and organize will benefit from the methodical, practical, and hardworking approach that Virgo has to everything. 

The following ritual will help you soak up all those lovely Virgo energies and get you tapped into what you truly desire to bring into your life going forward. 

Try this Intention-Setting Earth Ritual 

  • Prepare yourself a sacred space. If you can do this outside, that would be lovely. If not, bring a little of the outside into your home in the form of flowers, fruit, branches, leaves, or shells.

    Just have these close by so that you can feel that fertile connection to Virgo the Virgin Goddess. 

  • Activate a healing, sensual environment by lighting a candle, making yourself some herbal tea or a cacao drink, and having your crystals around you. 
  • Have a journal and pen close to your hand, and make sure you will not be disturbed. 
  • Now close your eyes, placing one hand on your heart and the other on your navel to connect your heart with your sacral chakra and center of creativity. 
  • Ask your higher self to communicate to you what you most desire going forward. 

What intentions are most aligned with you right now?

  • Is it for more wealth, more happiness, or more freedom? A new friendship or relationship? An improvement in your health? 
  • Be still and become aware of how the answer comes to you. Maybe you feel a sense of peace washing over you. Or a tingling excitement. 
  • Now try to tune into the high frequency of positive, elevated emotions by imagining how it would be to have achieved your goal. Let that feeling run through your body like electricity.  
  • Open your eyes and make a statement in your journal about this intention you are creating. 

Write it in a positive affirmation style sentence, such as

I can already feel the excitement of meeting my soulmate. 

Or

I am so happy to be standing in our brand-new apartment. 

Now finish the ritual by saying a short prayer of gratitude. 

Thank you Universe for blessing me with the power to create my own reality. And so it is…

New Moon Blessings!
