Leo season came in with a bang, it lifted our spirits and dried our tears
Leo season came in with a bang, it lifted our spirits and dried our tears after the sea of emotions that was Eclipse Season. It also brought swift and unexpected changes, some you probably gladly welcomed and others may have left you a bit shaken. Either way, the universe is always working towards your highest good. The sun and Venus were boo’ed up most of August solidifying Leo season as a season of growth. This dynamic duo helped everyone effortlessly attract new opportunities, maybe boosted earnings, turned up romantic energy, and had you feeling those good vibes. If you haven’t yet, take a moment to give gratitude to all the good you’ve experienced over the last 28 days.
The goal this month is to create effective process, schedules, and systems.
As we enter the Virgo lunar month, it’s time to get practical! The energy this month will be a bit slower, this is the universe’s way of giving you time to catch up on things, review where you stand, and take inventory of whats needed. After last month’s growth spurt you’ll need time to integrate and upgrade. This is especially true for changes in the tangible areas of life like, home, fiances, career, and relationship matters. Virgo is an earth sign, ruled by the planet Mercury; this mix helps with practical thoughts, tactical plans, encourages attention to details, and process improvements. Virgo is know to be critical, use this quality to help you pinpoint flaws or potential issues before they happen. Virgo’s connection with thought (Mercury) makes this month a good time for both learning, teaching, and information sharing. If you need to sharpen your skills or learn something new, now is the time to sign-up. The last couple of months the universal energies have been hitting our emotional side, we’ve been doing a lot of inner work and healing. Now that Virgo has the reigns you’ll feel an intuitive shift towards taking care of your physical body and creating healthier, balanced daily routines and practices. Use the first two weeks after the new moon for doctor visits, creating a fitness routine, doing a detox, and reorganizing or creating a schedule and budget. The goal this month is to create effective process, schedules, and systems. Although it’s not sexy or exciting, having a system will help your life, career, health, and day to day routines run smoothly making it easier to sustain growth.
