(just like the fool's journey in tarot) of self discovery.
When the sun moves into Virgo in late August, it is the hero's first encounters with service.
Although Virgo is the loner sign (along with Aries although Aries doesn't choose it, Aries just embodies it) - she is the conscientious loner.
The hero is learning when to help and when helping isn't really helping. Virgo is the modest healer with the critical eye that takes care of the details.
Every sign has something to learn from the sign that follows it. Leo learns from Virgo (and we all have Leo in our charts somewhere - its placement will affect how this activates in your own journey) - to do the work. Virgo teaches Leo to let go of the need for the spotlight and recognition and to just focus on the work.
(next the hero moves into Libra and learns that those carefully attended details she has manifested into physical form in Virgo need balance)
It is no coincidence that Virgo comes in autumn; the time of the harvest - the time to separate the wheat from the chaff. What is needed to be nurtured and what needs to be discarded is more easily seen and felt now. Mercury is not connected to any other planet for the next 9 days so we can be really objective about what we want right now (then Mercury moves into connection with Jupiter, Pluto and Uranus allowing us to see the bigger picture).
Our soul's purpose, which has been built through many lifetimes, is exactly what is needed to meet the challenges of these times. Our previous lives fit together within us like a puzzle and each of us forms a bigger puzzle (which is really the same puzzle) together.
We each have it in us to do what we are called to do and we are the only one who can do it. When our belief becomes that we are here to serve the world, that is exactly the space that will open up for us.
A Virgo new moon is the perfect time to focus on Virgo areas such as : health (diet and exercise; the maintenance of our health), work/job, creating order, relaxing perfectionism and helping others.
Examples of some affirmations:
1. I am easily attracted to foods that are healthy for my body. I establish routines that create total health for me. I easily swallow vitamins (ugh).
2. I easily complete tasks with minimal stress and maximum efficiency. I create routines that give me time to relax. All tendencies to postpone necessary tasks and errands are totally lifted from me. I create financial abundance for myself while adding value to the lives of others.
3. I restore my work space to order on a daily basis. Any resistance to 'cleaning up the mess' is lifted from me. I create order in my home.
4. I am free of critical judgements of myself and others. The compulsion to 'be right' is easily lifted from me. I use positive language.
5. I consciously feel satisfaction from being of service to others in my work.
AFFIRMATION TIPS: get into a happy frame of mind - always make affirmations from a positive place - write your affirmations down by hand, speak them out loud - I always write my affirmations on strips of paper and put them into a bowl of rice so I can mix them around every now and then with my fingers if things get stagnant - then release your attention from them knowing that your intention is known. Know these things are already yours. xo

Virgo here. ♥
"What is needed to be nurtured and what needs to be discarded is more easily seen and felt now."
So there. Thanks for this.
xo.
You know this is my month, right? This work I'm deep into will not be complete until the end of October and the affirmations you list are exactly what I've been repeating for the last week (she said as she read #1 and polished off a big bowl of quinoa and blueberries and cream). Processes and struggles, so hard to keep my nose in my own work. A Leo, huh? I need to look around a bit.
More when I come up for air : xox
