The New Moon in Virgo: "Back to the Future!"

We are on the cusp of a New Moon in VIRGO (August 30th). Now I am not an expert in these matters but someone who attended a recent Prosperity Circle in LA told me that the New Moon (New beginnings) was a day or two away. So I went on a little search to find out what it all meant.

Well, as it turns out, I have been feeling the energy of this New Moon -- and didn't even realize it.

A New Moon in Virgo is a time of acting from 'common sense' -- a time to be practical and truthful to self - a time to be detail-oriented, a time to focus with clarity and purpose -- and shed what is no longer part of our path. Shed old ways, old habits, anything that we have thought necessary from a place of lack or fear. In fact, I have been feeling this for months now - since Pluto went retrograde - Pluto - the planet of the underworld. It has felt like an emotional tsunami at times. The old was being forced to go. It could no longer stay. Period. If I pushed for it to stay, I would be thrown backwards. Literally. I have been recovering for months from an injury to my back that was a journey in gratitude, release of old grief and self-judgment, healing of family relationships, a return to truth and to what I am here for and who I really am. Like the film of the same name, it was my own personal 'Back to The Future'. Because this healing journey that was seemingly against me, determined to set me back...was actually a journey in freedom (as Howard Wills always says) - a journey to be free of what actually was holding me back...in order to leap with joy into my future.

Now that I see, I am so grateful! As difficult and excruciatingly painful as it was - and it was, oh Lord! - I welcome it and thank God for it. It has and is opening me to the next phase of my life.

What will the New Moon portend for you? What is it releasing? What is it bringing into your life? I think it is a time of magic...no matter what.
