Happy Virgo Season !

Listen to the Virgo Season Playlist

Beloved friends do you feel this full moon building? Right now the moon is in Capricorn and will land in Pisces at 12:45 am on Monday. I always find the opposition between the full moon and the sun delicious. This full moon offers the abundant, uncontainable, overflowing, unbound energy of Pisces in contrast to the organizing earth energy of Virgo.

Although Virgo is formally represented by the archetype of the virgin, I often conceptualize them as root systems. I see Virgos as energetic beings resourcing into the murky, rich, fertile underground to contain and navigate. Can we take a moment to acknowledge how courageous Virgos are to plunge into the details//the metaphorical dirt as a mechanism of process?! Its an energy that is bigger than confidence.

May we draw inspiration from sacred root systems who not only absorb and release, but also communicate, assess, explore, navigate, create infinity out of the finite, order out of the chaos. Roots both filter and infiltrate, invade and explore.Roots are an anchor to growth; an embodied mirror to the spiritual; they are the manifestation, the material, the physical.

In the context of the Pisces full moon, Virgo energy is a sacred vessel, absorbing and containing the expansive energy of spirit. May we draw inspiration from the way roots and cellulose and water work in sacred harmony. May we find systems, strategies, and processes to harness the nourishing water of spirit and emotion, hydrating our bodies and beings.

To celebrate Virgo Season and the Pisces Full Moon….

Do some purging and grounding movements
Cook an elaborate and decadent meal for yourself. Perhaps incorporate a soup dish or some seafood to nourish your inner waters (if you are fish adverse like me, consider adding sea vegetables like seaweed in lieu of fish )
Give someone you love a manicure. Be gentle, take your time, and make sure to pay attention to the details.
Make a list of your favorite things and order them from most to least favorite
Get lost on Wikipedia, bonus points if you find rabbit holes connected to your ancestral roots
Re-organize your phone, sweep your floors, clean out your closet
Check on your plants’ roots. Repot as needed.
Balance the energies of earth and water by tending to your inner fire with food medicine. Think: Cayenne, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon paired with: starchy root vegetables like carrot, potato, and yam OR warming mineral rich bone and mushroom broths.
Lay down and acknowledge and offer genuine gratitude digestive system and internal organs. I especially enjoy Indigemama’s abdominal spiral massage for moments like this.
Hold yourself and cry. If tears are unavailable, lean into emotional release through moaning, rocking, and pretend tears. Follow this up by listening to Lil Nas X’s new album, Montero and cleaning your whole house.

Dreaming during the Pisces Full Moon

Pisces heightens our psychic links and dream space. The full moon lands just past midnight, peak dreaming time. You may have already noticed that your dreams are becoming more vivid. Consider having a cup of rose tea tonight before bed, setting aside time to consciously set an intention for your dream space and what you desire for your rest. Ask yourself, how would you like your dream space to feel?

Before bed envision that you are somewhere safe and beautiful. Where are you? Who is with you? Is there food? Envision a fire in the space and a body of water and make an offering to both. I used to do this exercise frequently with middle schoolers and here is one of spaces that stuck with me:

“I’m on a pile of pink and purple clouds with my best friends eating Cheetos”

If you are prone to chronic nightmares you can, during waking hours, think about your nightmare and envision different endings or interventions than what normally happens.

Regardless of the quality of your dreams, its important to call your energy back after sleeping and dreaming. Its a subtle form of energetic hygiene, kind of like brushing your teeth. Sometimes if you don’t have vivid or memorable dreams you might not even think its necessary, like brushing your teeth after a small midnight snack.

Overtime the small bits of energy we leave hehind grow into a significant absence we feel. I’ll be unpacking this and more at my virgo season workshop on energetic hygiene.

I’m so excited to share my upcoming workshop on Energetic Hygiene, Impulse Control, and Autonomy.

When people meet me they often feel the open loving energy of my expansive powerful heart.

What they often don’t see is how intentional my energy is. It’s not an accident that they feel my loving heart and grounded presence.

What people don’t see is my energetic boundaries.

While I am so proud to be a beacon of love, joy and grounded presence in this world and I’m honored that I can support people in finding relief and grounding, I am even more proud of my energetic boundaries.

My boundaries have supported me in being responsible for my energy, and managing my time.

My boundaries have supported me in stepping out of depleting social interactions that used to happen to me everyday!!

I’m excited to share more about energetic hygiene and autonomy on Monday September 20th at 7pm PST. Get tickets at bit.ly/Virgostarplay
