I’m unsure whether it’s our Virgo New Moon, or so many planets in Retrograde, or maybe it is due to the Earth being doused in cosmic dust by the passing of Comet Nishimura— but I have been suspended in a little world of my own of late and called to CHANGE things up in for what lies ahead in the coming months as we head into 2024.
It is thought that Comet Nishimura originated from the Oort Cloud, and is on a 435 year orbit around our Sun— such that the last time Comet Nishimura passed our Earth was in 1588 and the next time it will pass by will be in 2458! This means that Comet Nishimura transited past Earth during the time of the Renaissance. Hmm… a time on Earth when ‘Humanism’ was flourishing— a cultural revolution through art, music, literature, which spread into architecture, politics and science.
If we could time travel into 2458 and look back on 2023, what would we see? Would we see the rebirth of a second Cultural Renaissance of sorts? Rather than Humanism, would we possibly seeing a rebirth or reawakening of Naturosophism?
As I share in my Lightrition your Life course, Naturo Sophia means wisdom of nature, the living intelligence of the natural world. Looking back on 2023, would we see a cultural shift in our health, wellness care, farming, the food we eat and our way of life that views humans as part of a living breathing intelligence that is nature? That humans are not better than nature, or here to control nature, but rather that humans are in fact nature experiencing itself through us. And the Anima Mundi breathes us to life, the divine intelligence within all living things.

VIRGO New Moon Energy
Virgo is an Earth sign and is ruled by Mercury and the sixth house of Work / Daily Life / Healing & Wellbeing.
Virgo is the archetype of the Virginal Goddess— not in the sexual context, but from the latin meaning of the world virgin representing self-sufficiency, being self-contained. Hence Virgo represents wholeness, completeness, unification. That is why Virgo relates to healing & wellbeing, as health come from the old English term ‘hale’ which too means wholeness.
Virgo awakens the Goddess within and a deep recognition of the body as a sacred Temple. From this place of realisation we are guided to let go of the person we ‘thought we should be’, and simply let flow into who we really are. An inner-feeling of belonging, belonging to the Earth, belonging to Mother Nature, belonging to the Spirit of all things. A deep inner-trust is awakened, trust in the temple of our bodies. All we need do is listen.
Virgo New Moons are traditionally about deep cleansing, simplifying & healing. Letting go of all the clutter in your life and creating a space and sacred rhythm that moves you back into harmony with nature, back in flow with life. But this years Virgo New Moon feels EXTRA transformative on so many levels!
Our Virgo New Moon brings clarity to areas of our life that maybe out of balance with natural flow. Diving into the shadow of Virgo, you mind maybe littered with all stuff you don’t like about your life as it relates to your Work / Daily Life / Health. Getting lost in the shadow could lead you to feel like ‘jumping ship’ this New Moon – quit your job, leave your relationship, or jump off planet Earth. A little escapism maybe ?
However, a more loving, nurturing, tender & caring way to work with Virgo is to listen. To be grateful for where you are now, yet also be guided by Goddess Wisdom. Trust the temple that is your body, listen to what it has to say a tuning fork with all of life. Your body doesn’t lie, only the mind plays those sort of games. What makes you feel good, what warms your heart, what bring ease to the flow of your day… and make changes from that place of awareness.
Through Virgo, allow change of a new cycle to be gentle, you don’t have to do everyone at once!
Maybe make a plan this New Moon to look for employment that is more fulfilling, maybe a change of career is calling to you ? Look at ways to resolve relationship issues, such as deep inner-healing of a shift in mindset within yourself. Tidy up the clutter in your home (your home is a body-temple too) & put flowers in a vase to add a little fresh energy to your home space. Or even start a juice fast or eat a little lighter over the coming weeks, letting go of toxic thoughts / chemicals / emotions from every cell. Allow yourself to feel whole & complete.
