The Virgo New Moon on August 23, leads us deep into the cocoon. There is no limit to what we can discover deep in the darkness, but chances are some things in our lives are up for change and upheaval.
The energies of this New Moon may have us feeling like we are in the dark, but if we trust the process, we are likely to experience a deep and profound transformation over the coming months.
This New Moon works in tandem with the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse that is set to fall on September 21st. It is after this point that we will be able to see the fuller picture of the journey that is unravelling.
In the meantime, this August Virgo New Moon, guides us to ground our energy and come back to our inner wisdom. Keeping a sense of routine, getting organized, and focusing on our well-being are all things that can help.
To guide you, here is a ritual you can try. While this ritual is designed to be done for the August Virgo New Moon, you can do it anytime between this Eclipse period until the end of September 2025.
I hope you enjoy it!
Virgo New Moon Ritual 2025
You will need:
- Aura Cleansing tool of choice
- Cosmic Healing Meditation
- Ingredients to make your own herbal tea (e.g. mint leaves, lemon slices, ginger slices, honey, etc.)
- Mug with hot water (for brewing your tea)
- Pen and paper
Directions:
1.) Start by using your aura cleansing tool of choice. As you cleanse around your body, feel free to recite the following –
“I love myself just a little more each day. I work to release and let go of my stresses and anxieties a little more each day. Today, I support my body by cleansing and releasing all that blocks me, all that triggers me, all that keeps me in fear. I feel light, I feel open. I know I am love. My energy is protected and clear. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
Next, use your aura cleansing tool to clear your surroundings and your tea ingredients. As you do this, feel free to recite the following:
“I lift the energy of this space, creating room to bring in more love, joy, and gratitude. This space is surrounded by love and light. These ingredients are blessed with love and light. My space is cleansed; my space is filled with abundant, peaceful energy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
2.) Gather all of your tea ingredients, including your mug of hot water. Take one of your ingredients and hold it in your hands. Program your ingredient with an intention that is geared to supporting your well-being. It can be anything that will bring more peace, serenity, and joy into your life. You can state your intention aloud or simply deliver it to the ingredient telepathically. Be sure to thank your ingredient for holding your intention before placing it into the mug of hot water.
Repeat this process for all remaining tea ingredients. You can change your affirmation or work with the same one.
3.) Cover your tea as you allow it to brew. While you wait for your tea to brew, do the Cosmic Healing Meditation. This meditation is a perfect accompaniment to the energies of the New Moon.
4.) After your meditation, take a few sips of your tea. Feel yourself recharge and restore on each sip. As you drink your tea, choose one of the following journal prompts/exercises.
- Create a gentle schedule you can follow for the coming days which includes a balance of productivity and self-care practices.
- Imagine my future self one year from now writing me a letter. What reassurance or advice would they give me about the path I’m on today?
- Where in my life am I trying to force outcomes, and how might I soften into trust that things are unfolding in their own timing?
5.) Once your journaling is complete, reflect on any insights that have come up for you. Once your tea is finished, your ritual is complete! If you don’t want to finish your tea, you can pour the water outside instead. If possible, return all your tea ingredients back to Mother Nature by burying them in the Earth or compost.
New Moon blessings to you!
