This New-Moon-in-Virgo Baño Will Bring Career Clarity

Supermoons, mercury retrograde, and the upcoming eclipse season calls for Virgo energy to swoop in and organize things. With more supermoons ahead, there's no better time to embrace a Virgo new moon than now. This powerful manifesting energy allows you to set things straight, declutter your path, and bring clarity to your professional goals. No more thinking you don't belong in a room filled with successful professionals. Virgo's light burns brightly and shines upon your strengths and abilities to show up for yourself more than ever before, quieting the voice of self-doubt and insecurities. You belong, and your voice and ideas matter. Virgo will have nothing less.

The last months of 2024 offer an auspicious time astrologically. There are four consecutive supermoons, beginning with the August full moon and followed by the full moons in September, October, and November. These powerful moons provide the energy to strike out what no longer serves us and make room for creation and manifestation. The space created from the supermoon in August allows you to bring new things into your life. These could be things you've wanted to manifest for some time, but those efforts were blocked for some reason.

Take the time to reset and refocus your dreams and goals during these busy astrological transits. Get grounded in your truth with the new moon in Virgo, and be cautious that you're not striving for absolute perfection, which is nearly impossible to reach. Instead, be open to a new version of yourself that doesn't think small, manages the voice of self-doubt even when it's trying to take over, and knows the power of self-love.

The New Moon in Virgo peaks on Sept. 2 at 9:56 p.m. ET. The energy will be strong for about 48 hours after the peak, so you have time to tap into the power of manifestation under this Virgo moon.

Virgo is an earth sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, transportation, and memory. On Aug. 25, Mercury went direct after being in retrograde for a few weeks. This makes for clear communication and easy travel. It's also a great time to increase or begin a meditation practice. Think of a cloudy day giving way to clear blue skies with the sun shining brightly. This is what Virgo can do before and after a busy astrological forecast.

Aside from professional life, some areas of focus during the Virgo new moon are physical health, helpfulness, and organization. Virgos feel a duty to keep things in order. Life doesn't feel right otherwise. Virgos like things to have their place in an orderly yet fashionable way. Whether it's your sun, moon, or rising sign, you can tap into the energy of the sixth zodiac to help make more sense of things in your life.

Virgo rules physical health, and the new moon energy can help establish good health habits, exercise, weight control, and improved diet. Set intentions to align yourself with healthy foods and activities based on healing physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you've been seeking a healer to work with or want to learn a new healing modality, wish for it under the Virgo new moon.

As the ruler of work, Virgos are focused on professional excellence. But it's not just about work for work's sake. This sign wants to reach the highest levels of professionalism by honing their craft in a field they're passionate about. Virgos want to do work that makes them feel like they're contributing to society and the world. If you need to push procrastination out of the way to align with a positive output of work, set that intention under the Virgo new moon. You can also wish for the creation of a routine that helps you achieve a better work-life balance or set intentions around feeling more positive as you head into your work day and not allowing others and everyday challenges to impact your mood. Assist others when needed, but don't allow them or their energy to pull you off balance. Outside forces should not alter your inner peace.

Universe, I am ready to embrace myself at the highest level. No more surface-level living. I know I am better than the things currently holding me back. I pray that I achieve great things at work and continue elevating myself as I work to help others reach their goals. As I sit down to write my list of goals, I pray that those words are charged with Divine energy so that I may bring them into my reality and continue growing as a person. Thank you for your guidance along my path. So, be it.

Ingredients:

Florida Water

Sage and Palo Santo

Herbs: rosemary, fennel, saffron

Essential Oils: lavender, clary sage, and chamomile

Candle: green or brown

Crystals: sapphire, carnelian, amethyst

Pink Himalayan salt

Sea salt

Flowers: chrysanthemums

Ritual:

1. As you gather your Virgo new moon baño ingredients, begin setting your intentions and charge all the items with your wishes simply by holding them and thanking them for being a part of your magic.

2. Physically clean your space so you begin your spiritual cleanse on a blank canvas. Burn sage and then palo santo to spiritually prepare for your new moon baño.

3. Fill your bathtub with warm water and pray over it as you do so. Then add one cup of sea salt and one cup of Pink Himalayan salt. Mix it in with your hands until it fully dissolves. Think of each grain of salt as carrying your wishes to the ethers.

4. Next, add three splashes of Florida Water and several drops of essential oils and mix in with your hands. Charge the water with your intentions every step of the way.

5. Add a few handfuls of herbs and mix in, thanking the herbs for their magical and healing properties.

6. Finally, cover the baño water with flowers. Add as much or as little as you'd like. Save some of the flowers to place in a vase.

7. Create a new moon in Virgo altar using the rest of your flowers, the candle, and crystals. Find a nice spot to place your altar. You may want to have it in the bathroom so you bathe by the light of your Virgo new moon altar candle, or you can put it somewhere you'll sit after your baño to journal, meditate, or simply reflect.

8. Allow this baño to carry away any feelings of worry and remind yourself that you are safe. After the bath, allow yourself to air dry or pat dry with a white towel.
