Virgo season musings

You guys. All I can say is WTF

Not only has Virgo season started a day earlier than normal but we shifted seasons with a New Moon right on its heels. Before we get into the nitty gritty of this New Moon vibe, let's talk for a second how the seasons shifted. It was like Virgo was standing there tapping her foot, waiting for Leo to finish up, got annoyed by the all the razzle dazzle of Leo and pushed her out of the way like -

"MOVE over LEO, we got shit to do!"

Typical Virgo, likes to be early, slightly impatient and has a lil dash of nervous energy. Looking at the astrology of this month has me seeing why she was so impatient in the first place. Here's a list of the events this earthy Virgo season :

• New Moon in Virgo (square Uranus) 1 degree Virgo- Aug 23rd @2:06am ET

• Saturn Rx enters Pisces - Sept 1st @4:06am ET

• Uranus Rx - Sept 6th @12:51am ET

• Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces - 15 degrees Pisces Sept 7th @2:09pm ET

• New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (yes you read that right, a second one)

  29 degrees Virgo - Sept 21st 3:54pm ET

So lets talk, at least about the Black New Moon (Black Moons are when we have more then one New Moon in an astrological seasson) that just occurred and the upcoming Eclipse Portals we are facing. This New Moon we had on the 23rd packed a punch with Uranian energy, adding an electric and intense component to this lunation.

I'm going to share my experience with you, Straight from my life to you, the reader, no filter.

This past year has been a daunting one, facing so many challenges within my relationships but also with sobriety. It's true when you hear "Your whole life has to change" when saying good bye to substance. People leave that you thought you were close to, things shift with others and you grow closer. Even tension within my own family emerged as i began to get more clear with myself, I could see so clearly the pain of others. Substance is a funny thing, we reach for it so easily because it works so quickly for a time...but then there comes a moment when you JUST CAN'T anymore (Pluto transit +eclipse season...hello!!) I have honestly let go of so much in my life, shame, regret, trauma....you name it, i've had to look at all of the ugliness with love in my eyes and in my heart. I had to learn to integrate my demons and my angels because WE ARE BOTH

Enter the New Moon in Virgo.

There i am, in a medicine ceremony on the night of the New Moon. I can feel the pain inside of my womb, something was there but i couldn't name it. I have had this repeating theme of somthing hidden within me that i can't seem to purge or let go of. Something so VERY deep within me and my lineage. All i could do is cry and show myself the love i so desperately needed in that moment. I could feel my Mother my Grandmother and even my daughter. It felt like my ancestors were there with me, their spirits standing with me, holding me (did i mention that I'm in a Chiron opposition to my Natal Moon AND a Uranus conjunction to my Natal Chiron??? NBD)

With Uranus squaring our Black New Moon, it added this extra push to release something, to break free from the patterns - a deep call to awaken something within the DNA. Or, in my case, a physical release. By the end of ceremony i was writhing in pain, crying out as i FINALLY was able to release something that laid dormant deep within my womb space. Under the "healers" moon, i was able to find the healing i've been looking for for years. I needed to allow it to happen, to surrender and be in that vulnerable state to trust that process to unfold as it needed to. Feeling safe with my body is a HUGE teaching and in the throws of that release, it didn't feel safe. I felt scared and there was a very primal feeling of FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT happening within me. Thank God i have done work with this and i recongized my survival mechanisms being engaged. I was able to breathe through it, as difficult as it was i also had a support system of women and men around me holding space, allowing me to move through it. The power of community...nothing can compare to that.

What happened to me? Was it ancestral? Was it deep emotional trauma? Was it an illness that released from my womb space? Only spirit knows the answer. What this season and these ecplise portals offer us is a chance to move through parts our life that are outdated and done. It's time to move on and let go. Eclipses create momentum and shift us in ways that can't always be predicted or understood without a bit of distance and reflection. For an idea of what your themes are, look back at 9 yr intervals, these are your nodal patterns. Reflect, but don't over analyze..always journal during eclipse times so that you can see what you are feeling and moving through.

This season i wish for you all to trust, to surrender and to be fully present in your bodies. Approach each day with reverence that you are alive, bringing the spiritual into the mundane is Virgo's gift to us all. Find devotion, if thats to you and your heart, blessings! Be honest and true to your heart this lifetime and you can never be off course.

with love.
