Virgo New Moon Oracle Reading with the Healing Heart Oracle and Ancestral Healing Oracle

This New Moon and Solar Eclipse duo brings with it themes of health, well being, and day-to-day routines.

Where am I being pulled to create stability, structure, and balance at this time?

Reconnect With Your Divine Masculine – This time to look at what “emperor” energy you’ve been carrying with you that needs to be let go. That energy can push too hard sometimes, especially when you need a break. This can cause instability as you feel guilty and shamed into “doing the hard work” when what you really need is to relax and rest.

Where am I being guided to clear clutter and refine my routines?

Longing Heart – It can be hard sometimes to check in with reality, when what you really want is to look back on what used to be and try to resurrect it. It’s time to clear out the past and how things used to be, along with your longing thoughts concerning these things. You need to look forward to what’s coming instead.

In what area am I being encouraged to do a reset on my self-care?

Claim Your Kingdom – Stop looking to others and their opinions concerning what you’re doing and what you need. It’s none of their business, and if they don’t like it, that’s just too bad. Do your thing without worrying so much about the judgments of others.

Virgo is a problem solver and purifier.

What is it that needs to be let go of as it is no longer serving me? 

Go Beyond Survival Mode – Part of the reason you feel like you’re not getting the rest of that you need right now is because you are in “survival mode”, and thus you are not able to fully relax or enjoy this time when the pressure is (involuntarily) off.  This is because survival mode creates more pressure, not less. Look at ways to ease this reaction so that you can let it go and move forward.

What obstacles can this Virgo New Moon help remove from my path?

Open Your Heart To Sacred Love – Because you are feeling vulnerable, you have been closing yourself off and retreating inward. This is shutting other people out is not allowing you to receive the love and support that they are trying to give you. This Virgo New Moon encourages you to take time to work on releasing that defense mechanism that is closing you off from the world and others.

The Virgo Solar Eclipse may encourage you to have difficult conversations, release relationships or jobs that no longer support you, etc. 

What deepest truth within the chaos can this eclipse help me to see more clearly?

Strengthen Your Weakened Masculine – Despite how you were raised to believe that men should be tough, strong, and emotionless, there is a part of you that is a much gentler and kinder sort of man. Look at your defense mechanisms and the teachings from your past for the answers to why you are feeling wounded right now, and seek ways to bolster yourself when in the grip of these feelings.

With power split between the new moon and solar eclipse, now is a time to take a mindful moment, even amidst busyness – take a breath, reflect on what makes you feel whole, and imagine releasing all that no longer serves you.

When the clarity of mindful moments is consulted, what is it time to release in order to make room for something new?

Tune Into Your Feminine Lineage – Why are you still so angry at your mother? Don’t you think it’s about time to look into this, go a little deeper, and start to seek out a path that will allow you to let it go?

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Own Your Sexuality – Go with what feels right, and he will follow. It doesn’t matter if it’s steady time in one space or another, or if you fluctuate back-and-forth. Remember that he is there for the ride, and eager to be involved in whatever it is you need.

New Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Spirit Within Tarot

What can I do to stay grounded during times of overwhelm?

The Devil – Remember that your addictive tendencies and self-destructive inclinations have a habit of rising to the occasion when you are feeling overwhelmed. Keep an eye on these things you know can trip you up and make sure that they don’t get out of hand. If they do, it will just make your overwhelmed that much worse.

What area of my life is in need of my undivided attention?

Page of Swords – Stay on top of information channels, and make sure that you’re absorbing everything that you can from every source you can get your hands on. You’ll be able to sort it all out in time, but you’ll need as much information as possible in order for things to eventually make sense.

What’s the best way for me to implement personal re-centering and self care?

Knight of Wands atop The Sun – Make a game of it. You do better at keeping on top of things when you are receiving a measurable reward in the process. Those self-care practices that feel like they do nothing but actually do a lot, you don’t consciously feel like you’re being rewarded for them. Find something to reward yourself with in these instances, and you will experience more success in your consistency and the stability it creates.

How does prioritizing my physical and mental health benefit me the most at this time?

Eight of Wands – Prioritizing your physical and mental health allows you to be on your toes and able to react more quickly to the things going on around you. It also changes your view point to a more positive perspective, giving you a better chance of both enjoying life as well as accomplishing your goals.

What archetype can I rely upon to guide me during this Virgo New Moon cycle?

The Hanged Man – Wait and watch, but take no action. The cycle of this New Moon in Virgo is a time of observation. Watch closely, get others perspectives, but don’t do anything yet, no matter how tempting it becomes. By staying on the sidelines you help give yourself a buffer from the chaos, and give yourself room to react when the timing is right.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Two of Wands – As was mentioned above, plot and plan; keep your eye on the ball concerning where you want things to go, but don’t act yet. It’s not time to “jump in the pool” just yet.

Other elements included in this reading:
Carved Bamboo for Positive Outcomes
Foraged Ponderosa Pine Cone for Resilience and Adaptability
Red Jasper for Awakening and Motivation toward Growth
Desert Rose for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

New Moon in Virgo Oracle Reading with the Healing Heart Oracle

Where should I focus my energy this season?

Co-Creative Heart – Look for opportunities to involve others in your work, whether that is having them help you with whatever you are working on or teaching them new creative skills that can help you out along the way.

What needs re-evaluation?

Trusting Heart – You are trusting another to have your best interest at heart way too much. Instead of just blindly allowing this other to lead you, use your intuition to guide yourself in these situations.

What is just a distraction that I need to ignore?

Trapped Heart – Make sure you don’t get so wrapped up in feelings of restlessness that you end up taking unnecessary chances with your safety.

Where do I need to get more organized?

Curious Heart – Make sure that you are planning ahead when you decide to go off on an adventure. Combined with previous card in this reading, this is a reminder that due to safety issues that have come up in the past you aren’t always particularly safe when you’re out alone, and thus need to bring someone with you instead of just going off on your own on a whim.

What project would benefit from my full attention?

Rebellious Heart – This answer is an echo back to the second card in this reading. It encourages making sure that others are not being allowed to make decisions for you, and that you’re not yielding just to make things easier for yourself and/or others.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Unavailable Heart – Stop trying to avoid triggers and trauma reactions. You need to instead acknowledge them, and work on healing these things, so that they are no longer an issue.

New Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Spindlewheel Game Cards

How is my relationship with my job right now?

Giantkiller atop Scholar – You just remembered the other day that you haven’t been keeping up logging your tax information. You know you’ll crush it on catching up though, when it’s time. You’ll just have to put your mind and determination to it.

What life aspect needs more organization in this moment?

Chasm – Get on top of adding structure and organization to those things that help you to stave off and mitigate your depressive episodes. You can make sure you fit in what you need if you build the room for it into your day that you know you need.

What services can I give to the community for my own spiritual development?

High Tide – Work on your boundaries. It may not seem like a service to others, but it absolutely is.

What health aspects should I pay attention to at this time?

Memory – Your negative self narrative affects every aspect of your life including your physical well-being. Make sure you are stepping up with those methods that help you combat those negative inner thoughts.

How can I improve my self-healing skills?

Vampire – Look for those in your life that are tapping into your energy, and do what’s needed to make sure your boundaries are in place to keep those unhealthy influences to a minimum.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Driftwood – Stay alert and aware for warning signs and dangerous situations.

New Moon in Virgo Tarot Reading with the Seed and Sickle Oracle

Where should I focus my energy this season?

Poppy – You need to focus your energy on letting go of regrets, recriminations, and other unhelpful self-talk and emotions that can only get in the way of you continuing to move forward in a healthy way.

What needs re-evaluation?

Cherry – Where are you neglecting yourself and what do you need to do to step up in this area? In the lull between your last project and your next big one, you need to take time to realign and find balance again.

Where do I need to get more organized?

Feverfew – Look at your schedule and get better organized with your time. There are people who need some of your time and attention who are not getting what they need, but by taking some time to re-organize your schedule you can better make sure they are getting that time with you.

What is just a distraction that I need to ignore?

Mustard – Your fears that you are weak and incapable are unfounded. In truth you are strong and capable of far more than you could ever imagine.

What project would benefit from my full attention?

Strawberry – Be generous with those that need your time and are feeling the scarcity of your attention. Make them feel as if their cups are full.

New Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.

Verbena – Take some time to rest, breathe, and make a nice with yourself.

Today is the new moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is about  integrating the qualities within, and brought to you by Sharron Basanti of Seeds of Shakti.

Meraki Tarot

1. What do I need to de-clutter that no longer sparks joy?

The Hanged Man atop Seven of Swords – You need to do a culling of your tarot collection. It’s stealing away far too much of your time to find each month’s decks. Of course, with the holiday rush coming, this is going to have to wait a few months, but keep in mind that when you start getting into next year and reorganizing your home for those shelves you want, that you need to do some culling as you go.

2. What habits do I need to start building to be more organized?

Queen of Pentacles – Supporting others that place no value in your support.  There should, at the very least, be a sense of appreciation and respect from those you expend your time and energy to nurture and support.  If you aren’t getting even that much from them in return, you need to pull back.

3. What patterns do I need to break that don’t contribute to my well-being?

Seven of Pentacles – Remember that growth takes time.  Whether this is growth of your emotional self, improvement of your physical health, or the flourishing progress of your business.  Everything takes time.  Take a breath and allow things to move at their own pace instead of pushing for more.

4. How can I harness the energy of the Virgo New Moon to re-align with my purpose?

Seven of Cups – Choose your path wisely.  You have a lot of different options ahead of you, but to stay aligned with your purpose, you need to take some time to look at each option in depth.  Once you  have all the information, making the right choices for you will be much easier.

5. Message from the Ancestors and Guides.

Three of Cups – Lean on others near and dear to your heart for a lift of spirits and emotional support. You may have dodged a bullet with your MDE and temporarily shifting your meds, but you’re not quite out of the woods yet and they can help you stay away from that pit’s edge now that the chemical side of things is better in hand.
