Virgo New Moon Ritual | Seeds of Systems
✧ Moon Medicine
New Moon in Virgo
Element: Earth
Body Parts Ruled: Pancreas, small intestine, cecum, colon, digestive tract, duodenum, rectum, sense organs (eyes + ears)
Emotional Theme: Clarity through simplicity
The Virgo New Moon highlights the systems that sort, sift, and process—both in the body and in the soul. Just as the digestive tract extracts what nourishes and eliminates what doesn’t, this lunation asks you to refine your inner ecosystem. Where can you simplify? Where can you create order without becoming rigid?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these organs connect with the Earth element and the Stomach/Spleen Sinew Channels, which govern grounding, nourishment, and our ability to feel centered. When this system is taxed, we experience worry, overthinking, and scattered energy. When balanced, we feel rooted, clear, and resilient.
This lunation is a call to digest life more gently. Give your body foods that are easy to process, give your mind tasks that feel manageable, and give your spirit room to rest. Remember: perfection is not the goal. Integration is.
The Virgo New Moon whispers: Simplify to sanctify.

✧ Ritual of the Week | Virgo New Moon
Theme: Planting Seeds of Clarity + Structure
Ingredients:
A small bowl of soil or a potted plant
A slip of paper + pen
A green or white candle
Steps:
Light your candle and center yourself with three deep breaths.
On your slip of paper, write 1–3 intentions for the Virgo New Moon—focused on routines, health, organization, or service. Keep them clear, specific, and doable.
Fold the paper and tuck it beneath the soil or into your plant, symbolically planting your intentions.
Whisper: “With steady hands and clear mind, I sow seeds of devotion that will grow in divine time.”
Let the candle burn (safely) while as you visualize your intentions rooting and growing.
Integration:
Visit your plant or bowl of soil daily for the next two weeks (until the Full Moon on September 7, 2025), affirm your intentions, reminding yourself of the grounded, aligned path you’re choosing.

✧ Supportive Yoga Poses
Virgo New Moon Flow
The Virgo New Moon highlights the digestive tract and core center—the place where we process not just food, but also emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Supporting this system through gentle, mindful movement helps you integrate the energy of new intentions without overwhelm.
Suggested Poses:
Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Bound Angle Pose)
Opens the belly and softens tension in the gut. Place one hand on your belly and one on your heart to connect breath with digestion and integration.Apanasana (Knees-to-Chest Pose / Wind-Relieving Pose)
Supports digestion, eases bloating, and helps clear stagnant energy from the belly. Perfect for “resetting” your inner system.Marjaryasana–Bitilasana (Cat–Cow Flow)
Gently massages the abdominal organs while improving spinal mobility. Use this flow to synchronize breath with movement and calm overactive thoughts.Parivrtta Anjaneyasana (Revolved Low Lunge Twist)
Twists stimulate the digestive tract and help you release what you no longer need—physically and emotionally.Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose)
A gentle inversion to restore balance, calm the nervous system, and encourage circulation through the core and lower body.
✨ Practice these slowly, with mindful breathing. Imagine each inhale creating space in your belly and each exhale helping you release what feels heavy.
✧Affirmation
I plant my intentions with clarity and care. I trust the simple systems that nourish my body, mind, and spirit. With each breath, I digest life gently and grow roots of devotion.
Stay wild,
