September 2021: new moon in Virgo
Tarot spread, journaling questions, an astro-tarot forecast and an exploration of the the Sabian symbol of this new moon.
The September 2021 new moon falls in the sign of Virgo. The Virgo archetype is logical and practical, with an eye for detail and the steadfastness to go after their goals. This is a sign that thrives on meticulous planning, on honing skills to perfection and gaining mastery over their chosen vocation.
There is a rather scattered quality to the energy of this new moon — a feeling of liminality and a longing for adventure. Balancing the push and pull of this energy could be a bit challenging. There's also a sense of completion and a desire to try new things, as well as a need to bring some order into our lives. Old issues, patterns, or blocks could come up for another go-around or a final resolution, so keep your self-care toolbox close at hand. This would also be a good time for some healing and inner child work — some underlying issues may come up spontaneously for resolution.
To throw some more light on the astrology of this new moon, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Virgo new moon falls in decan 2, which is represented by the 9 of Pentacles. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Hermit, which is associated with Virgo.
We just wrapped up the Earth Retreat on Pull Pen Paint and it was SO GOOD! Here are just a few of the highlights from this retreat:
Chris-Anne took us through a beautiful pathworking through the Pentacles
Rachel Toroda led a session on Hildegard and Illuminated Manuscripts, which was mind-blowing
Joanna Powell Colbert's wonderful session focused on the Gifts of Darkness.
New students continue to join the class, so if you've been on the fence, jump in!
There's always been a lot of heart and soul in the lessons on PPP, but this year, there's a special kind of magic in the sessions!
