New Moon in Virgo, Tuesday 7th September 1.52am GMT

Already it seems we are at the Virgo New Moon.

Now we are preparing the foundation for the monthly cycle ahead. The Moon in Virgo is a practical one, nurturing through offering advice (whether we want it or not), helping to heal in some way, (maybe a calming herbal tea, an organic meal from the gardens harvest,) looking for ways to organise and prepare for the months ahead.

Thinking about times before the fridge/freezer, this time of year whilst the food is abundant would be a time to discern that which must be eaten now as against that which can be stored in a way that will nourish us in the leaner months to come. This is all very practical and a bit of a buzz kill for those who just like to live for the moment. However to sustain us in harder times we need to be able to organise ourselves in a way that can feed and nourish us body and soul.

As we move through this next month based on this new Moon, have a think about that which sustains you. What can be reaped for the months to come, the seeds to collect to keep for planting next year and that which just needs throwing on the compost heap! After all, every one of our experiences good or bad are useful, even the crap ones!
