Today is a special day. It is a day of new beginnings. Today has the new moon in Virgo. In astrology, the new moon represents the time to let go of what has reached an expiration date in your life and move forward with a fresh start. It is as much about a new ending as it is about a new beginning. They hold hands together like the birth/death/rebirth cycle. Both death and life are to be celebrated because they work together in tandem. It is time to acknowledge the new path forward that holds new beginnings. Our Path is eternal and never ending. The new moon in Virgo is the start of a new chapter in your special book of your life. Today’s new moon is born on September 2, 2024 at 9:55 p.m. EDT.
We know that we can make tough decisions. We can do hard things. We accomplish this with the Trust in knowing that there is a safety net from our support system of family, friends, Guardians and Guides. We know we are not alone. We can rest in the love we know we have from others. Treading on new territory comes with new experiences that make us stronger … more confident … test our resiliency and remind us about how supported we are by our loved ones here and the ones not here. Making decisions for ourselves, without the reliance or help of others telling us what to do is not easy. We are afraid of failure or mistakes when the only mistake or failure is by not making our own decisions.
New beginnings can be scary because you are not relying on the past. A new history is being created. New beginnings don’t mean forgetting our past or what things have led us to this moment. We can be thankful for all situations and our past history because it is what makes the ground fertile for the new seed to sprout and develop and grow. You are present and willing for something new to grow. You are willing to not control the future, but nurture that baby plant by giving it all it needs to grow. You just sit back and watch the growth and enjoy the happiness.
Sometimes those tough decisions that you worry about are resisted because we are fearful. When you are a child you do not fear anything new. You anticipate greatness. You do not fear that a new opportunity will fail, but you have only Hope and Wonder. Hope and Belief is a natural part of being present with new beginnings and opportunities. You are willing for the unexpected outcomes because of your Hope. You are willing to wait and have patience and don’t even know what could go wrong because what is new or developing is being born and blossoming. A flower blossoming doesn’t wither or die unless it is not given the water for living. You are to just feed this dream with sustenance. A new baby is viewed with amazing and unlimited potential. A mother can’t wait to see the beauty of that new life. She anticipates the beautiful way it will mature and the joy that child will bring to the world and itself.
Forgiveness is a crucial part of new beginnings. Not forgiving will make you stuck. You are hurting yourself and holding yourself back when you don’t forgive. Is it that not forgiving yourself or others is part of the fear of your growth and new path? A fear of growth and not knowing that you are worthy of new growth and opportunities can be a part of not forgiving. Fear will keep you from going forward in your new Path.
To have a new beginning, you must know how worthy you are. You deserve newness and rebirth. You have a message and desired direction. You must focus and not out-think your desires. Our small self will question these righteous desires and tell you that you cannot do something. It will try to talk you out of it and give you excuses of “what ifs” which is rooted in fear. Being up in your head with excessive thoughts will take you out of flow. These contrary thoughts of fear which is all the small self is, will strand your boat in the weeds. Your boat must be allowed to meander down the river finding the path of least resistance. You can direct your boat with oars or positioning your sails. It will go faster at times and slower at other times. Your allowance of this free motion of inertia is fueled by your Trust and Hope in your righteous dream. Hold on to your dream. Remember that it is beautiful and just and edifying to yourself. All of the expectations and thoughts regarding other’s view of your dream and boat’s journey are stranding your boat.
What are your new directions? What is the new chapter of your book? Has your book ended and reaching an epilogue? Our book does not end yet. We cannot let fear end our story. Have the Bravery and Trust and Belief to pursue your dreams and new beginnings. It is scary as an adult. Approaching it with childlike wonder and anticipation by being present, will hoist your sails to catch all the power of our Wind. Embrace the growth to come! It is a new moon … a new beginning!
