Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Rochelle Christiane podcast.

that feels aligned and alive.
We'll explore human design,astrology and other tools to
(00:26):

More importantly, though, we'regoing to talk about what it
means to actually live andembody these aspects.
So each week, I'm going toshare stories, lessons, guidance
to help you navigate life'schallenges and really own your
magic.
So if you're ready to step up,take control and show up as the
most authentic version of you,let's begin.
Welcome back to another episodeon the podcast.
(00:51):
Today, we're going to talk aboutthis new moon that's happening
on Saturday, and we're going totalk a little bit about the
transits that are coming up nextweek, because this little
portal that we're in right nowis so powerful.
It's like a littlemanifestation portal, because we
have a new moon in Virgo that'shappening at zero degrees of
(01:13):
Virgo on Saturday Friday,depending on your time zone and
then at the end of Virgo season,so right before the sun moves
into Libra.
We have another new moon inVirgo, at 29 degrees of Virgo,
which is also an eclipse, and sothere's these two Virgo cycles
that are happening and it's justreally powerful.
(01:36):
So we're going to get into that.
We're going to talk a littlebit about manifestation, one
thing I've been saying formonths.
Actually, before we get into it, I just want to say if you did
not join the New Moon Circle,you can get the replay for that.
I'll leave the link below wherewe go through.
We have journal prompts forthat.
There's meditation, eft,tapping and just really going
(01:56):
over the transits from a verybroad big perspective.
So we get into everythingthat's going on because there's
a lot going on astrologically.
I know we've been saying it fora long time, but we really are
going.
There's just there is a lothappening.
And so, going back to the newmoon, we have this Virgo to moon
(02:21):
, have this Virgo to moon.
The sun moves into Virgo onFriday and Virgo is organization
.
Virgo is a mutable earth signand I love.
I was just on a new moon circlecall with Jana Romer.
She has been on the podcast andif you don't know her, she's an
incredible astrologer,definitely one of my mentors and
she was talking about thismutable energy of Virgo.
(02:43):
And she was talking about thismutable energy of Virgo.
And when we think about Virgobeing an earth sign, right, it
is about the digestive system,the immune system, because it's
all linked in together.
And so when we think about thedigestive system, right, we're
taking external things, movingthem internal and digesting it
through our system and, again,with it being an earth sign, and
(03:04):
Virgo is one of those, it'sright at the end, before we move
into the fall equinox, right.
So it's this changing ofseasons from summer to fall.
But when we think about earthand plants and digestion and
food, we're taking these plantsfrom earth, grown up on earth,
we're taking these things of theearth and we're putting them
(03:25):
into our body.
And when we eat really clean,healthy food that serves us, we
are creating an internal change,right.
So I loved that twist on sortof that mutable energy.
Mutable is when something isshifting, it's changing, right,
and so it is this energy ofgoing from summer to fall.
But also, we're taking thesethings, these external things,
(03:45):
internally and we're shifting it.
We're changing our body, we'rechanging what happens inside,
right, our digestive system, thegut, what is linked to the gut.
When we have an unhealthy gut,we tend to struggle with our
mental health, because thatgut-brain axis right, that gut,
is known as the second brain.
Virgo also holds the archetypeof the virgin, and this is all
(04:06):
happening in gate 59 in humandesign.
So these are really linked upclosely, which is why I'm
mentioning that now.
And gate 59 is the gate ofintimacy, and so when we think
about the virgin archetype, it'snot so much sex related it can
be, but it's not necessarilywhat it means it's this
purification, it's this puritythat we can bring in.
(04:26):
And so when we think about thishas two pieces to it, right,
but one.
It's like we are being asked tocome into ourselves and be good
with ourselves, to becomfortable with ourselves.
Right, we're asking to purify,and I've been saying it for so
long.
What are the quality of yourthoughts?
(04:47):
Because Virgo is Mercury rules,so we are analyzing, whereas
Gemini the other sign thatMercury rules Gemini is
fact-finding, it's curiosity,it's collecting information,
it's asking the questions,whereas Virgo is more.
Now we have the facts, nowwe're analyzing it, we're
thinking about it, right?
So I've been again, I've beenasking this for so long what are
(05:10):
the quality of your thoughts,right, what are you?
Because when we think aboutdigestion, when we think about
things, we're taking in from theoutside and transforming and
transmuting in our body.
This doesn't just have to dowith our food.
We're consuming informationeverywhere we turn the news
friends, just people out inpublic, teachers, coaches.
(05:32):
We're consuming social mediaright, we're taking in so much
and it truly impacts the waythat we think, right, and the
way that we think impacts theway that we feel.
The way that we feel impactsthe way that we do things, and
then the way that we do thingscreates habits, and Virgo is
habits and daily routines.
(05:52):
It's the mundane, it's theday-to-day things that can
either support us and serve usor can hinder us and hurt us.
So through this whole season,we're really being asked like
what are your habits, what areyour routines, what are the
quality of your thoughts?
What are you taking into yourbody, right?
So, again, like this wholehealth piece to Virgo, it's not
(06:12):
just your physical body, it'sjust everything that you're
consuming.
Purity theme, right, it's likebeing good with yourself.
And the thing with Virgo isbecause we're moving into Libra
season.
And what is Libra?
Libra is relationships, right,we're moving from this part of
the zodiac where we've gonethrough the eye, we're building
(06:33):
things, we're figuring out whowe are, we're nurturing
ourselves, like all these things, where we're going through this
whole like eye-centered half ofthe zodiac, and then we move
into Libra where we're nowwe-centered right, we're focused
on relationships.
So, virgo being that mutablelast piece to the I, it's like
we're perfecting ourselves toenter into relationship in the
(06:56):
best version of ourselves.
And so when we go through theseason, we're really looking at
ourselves and you know, we knowthat cleaning up our body,
cleaning up our mind, cleaningup our routines, cleaning up our
habits right going to the gym,moving our body, eating right,
cooking at home all of thesethings that purify and clean and
support our body then allows usto show up in relationship in a
(07:21):
more empowered way.
Because anytime you're doing thework, be it alone or in
relationship, you can only workon yourself.
We can't poke and prod ourpartner to be like, hey, you
need to do this, hey, you needto do that.
Right, and think about kids.
You tell kids to do something,but unless you're doing it and
you're embodying it, they're notgoing to pay attention, right,
(07:42):
it's not going to seep in in thesame way, but when you're
embodying it, like I will tellyou the last few months that
I've been meditating twice a day, I've just been a lot calmer,
I've been more present.
Of course, there are stillareas that can be worked on, but
I've noticed me coming insideand doing that work has shifted.
The way I show up in my familywith my kids has shifted, the
(08:05):
way that they act, right.
And so that in itself, that, Ifeel like, is what that
archetype holds for Virgo.
It's you coming inside,purifying yourself, right,
seeing what serves you, what'sworking, what's not, how you can
support yourself better, how wecan clean up our body, how we
can clean up our mind, right,all of these things to then
(08:26):
enter into Libra season, wherewe're now entering into, ideally
, a relationship where we are ahigher version of ourselves,
where we're able to show up andhold the space because we've
done the work and we're notconstantly triggered or
projecting or any of thosethings right?
And so, virgo, really is thisinternal look into all of those
things right, like what'ssupporting us?
(08:47):
How can we do better?
And with this new moon, it'sreally there's so much going on
and again, if you watch thereplay.
I share the chart so you canreally get an in-depth view.
But big picture we.
So this new moon the new moon iswhen the sun and the moon are
conjunct and the new moon issquare to Uranus and Gemini, and
(09:10):
squares are more challengingaspects that are calling us to
take action, to do somethingright.
And Uranus and Gemini isradically changing the way that
we think, the way that weperceive things, because the way
that we think, the way that weperceive things, because the way
that we think is the way thatwe perceive things, and the way
that we perceive things createsour reality.
And if we want to create a newreality, we have to think and
(09:33):
perceive things differently.
We have to shift the way thatwe think and perceive things.
So there's that Uranus is shock, right.
So there is this element ofunpredictability and instability
to a sign that values.
All Earth signs value safetyand security in some way, and so
it's bringing instability, it'sbringing a little bit of shock,
(09:57):
but Uranus is the greatawakener.
Uranus is truth, and so it mightbe challenging us to come
inside and do that purificationwork and get to the truth and
create awareness around thethings that maybe we're not
seeing or we're avoiding or weneed to implement, right At the
(10:18):
end of the new moon circle withJan Romer and there are journal
prompts as well inside of thenew moon circle.
That's down below the link atthe replay.
So, yeah, so Uranus issupporting us in seeing that
truth inside of us, the thingsthat we're avoiding, the things
that we need to let go of, thethings that we're calling in and
in order to call in, we knowthat we have to create space to
(10:41):
call in new things, right?
So, looking around at yourhabits, your daily routines,
what is supporting you and whatis not supporting you, one
practice that Jana left at theend of the circle that I
absolutely love was, for fivedays, every single morning,
write what you want your day tolook like, and it doesn't have
to be huge, it can just be likeI want to go to the gym, I want
(11:05):
to cook a home cooked meal, Iwant to clean the house, I want
to whatever it is.
And then, at the end of yournight, journal how your day
looked like and see what thedifference is.
Right, I have noticed that.
So I journal every evening whereI was aligned and where I felt
like I lost myself and over thelast week or two that I've been
(11:25):
in this practice.
I've been in this practicelonger than a week or two, but
over the last week or two I'vemore so noticed that I've lost
myself in scrolling.
I'll get on to post somethingand then I end up scrolling for
a little bit, and so that'ssomething that I know during
this Virgo season, which is aseason that is supporting us in
implementing new routines andhabits or just really looking at
it and creating awareness or inamplifying right Like shining a
(11:48):
light on it, that's something Iwant to have more boundaries on
with myself is not being on thephone all the time, not
scrolling right If I get on topost, maybe even just having a
pocket of time, giving myself anhour in the evening and you
know 30 minutes, or whatever.
It may be setting moreboundaries around when I show up
online and how I show up online.
I mean, over the last couplemonths, I have just so
(12:11):
drastically changed my life inso many different ways.
It's crazy that I haveimplemented a lot of supportive
habits and routines, but ofcourse there are a lot that I
have implemented a lot ofsupportive habits and routines,
but of course there are a lotthat I can still clean up and
implement.
There's things that maybe I'mnot seeing.
That, with your honor,supporting this will allow us
then to come in and see, becauseit is shock, it's truth, right,
it's going to bring to thesurface these things that maybe
(12:33):
we're not seeing otherwise.
Right.
And so, approaching with anopen mind and an open heart and
this is gate 59, which is whatthe new moon and the sun are in
during the new moon is gate 59,gate of intimacy the shadow of
gate 59 is dishonesty.
And so this is really, firstand foremost where are you being
(12:54):
dishonest with yourself, right?
Where are you being dishonestwith yourself around, whatever
it may, be right, the gift is anintimacy, and so the gift is as
we go through all of this stuff, as we go through our shadows.
So, as we're navigating thisquestion, where am I being
dishonest with myself?
(13:15):
As we're navigating theseshadows?
And trauma and ancestral traumaand all these things that come
up as we're navigating that, andtrauma and ancestral trauma and
all these things that come upas we're navigating that, you
know, because in every shadowthere is a gift, and Richard
Rudd says this over and over andover through the Gene Keys
sequences.
So as we're navigating these,things are going to come up that
are uncomfortable.
Right, it's not about avoidingit, it's really just being with
it.
And one thing I've learned overthe last few months is that
(13:38):
being with the shadow, beingwith the pain, doesn't mean that
we're amplifying it.
It means that we're being withit and we're sitting with it and
we're neutralizing ourself.
Right In the Gene Keys, richardRudd says and I can't remember,
I think it was about the corewound he was talking about, but
he talks about when you're withthat shadow.
(13:58):
Right, we're actually focusingon when we close our eyes,
whatever that shadow is for you,right, if you close your eyes
and you sit with that shadow andyou're like man, this is
painful, this hurts, this sucks,right, because what is the
saying?
The pain is inevitable,suffering is optional.
So when we're sitting with thatpain, that is inevitable.
When we're diving into theseshadows of like, oh my gosh, I
continue to procrastinate, Icontinue to not do the thing, I
(14:19):
continue to shy away, or Icontinue to not show up, or I
continue to get frustrated withmy kids, I continue.
Whatever it is when you'vecreated awareness, whatever that
thing is, we're sitting with it.
And it's not about, again, it'snot about amplifying the shadow
, it's about tapping in.
So, for me, when I meditate andI tap in, I tap into the space
in my heart and I could justfeel my essence right, that pure
(14:40):
, that virgin archetype right,but that pure essence of who I
am at my core, in my heart, andit's just love, it's the
consciousness, right, love,consciousness, that's really all
it is when you tap into thatspace.
And so, again, when you sitwith your pain and you sit with
your shadows, it's notamplifying those, it's being
with them, it's being in them,it's not avoiding them, it's not
(15:03):
pushing them away, it's nottrying to do anything about them
, but it's focusing on thatlight, right, it's more
amplifying that light in themidst of that pain.
And so that's really where themagic is and where I think I
find.
I know over the last few monthsthat I've really been meditating
at least twice, sometimesmultiple times a day, because
(15:25):
I'm going through something, orif something comes up, or I feel
triggered, or I notice athought, because I've been
really aware of my thoughts andthe quality of my thoughts, or
if I'm losing myself, like ifI'm sitting there and scrolling
on social media.
I'm like, okay, why, and justbe with it, but like and
focusing on that place in mychest that I feel that and just
(15:47):
breathing into that helpsneutralize it and then I can see
it from a neutral perspectiveand I can work through it.
I can.
I've been journaling like crazy, like my journal is just like
pages of just my thoughts and myfeelings and getting it out.
But then, like I come to thisneutral space and then I can
objectively see it and then knowthat I need to take action
steps.
So it's really transformed somuch of the way that I think and
(16:09):
operate.
And so I share that because ifyou're, you know, as we're
navigating this new moon,there's a lot that's supporting
us.
That is very supportive.
So this square, so the moon andthe sun square to Uranus that's
a challenging aspect, but most,most of the other aspects are
actually very supportive Rightbefore the new moon.
(16:32):
Venus is square to Chiron, whichis another challenging aspect.
But Venus is bringing in ourvalues and Chiron is.
You know, chiron is our woundedhealer, right?
So I do think about the corewound a lot in the gene keys, if
you know what your core woundis, and it's not to say that
either of these planets are inthat core wound.
They might be, but it's justthe idea of Chiron that wounded.
(16:53):
This is asking us where ourvalues lie first and foremost,
but it's asking us to do thatwork around our
self-assertiveness or just whowe are, because Aries is I am,
(17:19):
aries is self-leadership, ariesis action, aries is the warrior
energy.
We're fighting for something,ideally a good cause, but we're
fighting for something.
And so Venus in aspect and in achallenging square right to
Chiron, it's really bringing upthese themes of like, kind of
like.
Who am I?
What do I value Right, like,can I speak on those?
(17:39):
Why am I not speaking on thoseRight?
How can I find my ownself-leadership in this?
And it could show up in yourrelationships.
As you know, trans find my ownself-leadership in this and it
could show up in yourrelationships.
As you know, transits arecollective energy, so it could
be something.
It all really depends on whereit shows up in your chart.
So, even with the new moon,notice where Virgo is in your
chart and that's the area oflife this will mostly be
impacting.
(17:59):
And let me see what else isgoing on with this new moon that
I'm going to talk about here,because.
So there's that square toChiron moon that I'm going to
talk about here.
So there's that square toChiron Next week we are going to
move.
Okay, so what I wrote down forgate 59 dishonesty this is
peeling back the layers of yourpain and wounding and moving
through it, and I wrote thisfeels very Chiron and with
(18:22):
Chiron being activated in Venus,this is really really linked in
here.
Venus next week is going to beopposite Pluto and Venus is
opposite to Pluto next week.
It is loosely opposite to Plutoduring this transit, so Venus
is being activated in a lot ofchallenging ways, but Venus
opposite to Pluto is really justbringing intensity.
(18:45):
This is like I think Jana saidit way back in like January or
some other new moon, and she waslike this is obsessive love,
right, because this is likeintense and it is obsessive and
it is power and control, becausethat's what Pluto represents as
well.
And so, with that just beingaware of like that's happening,
venus is also entering Leo onMonday, the 25th.
(19:08):
This is also the same day thatMercury is leaving its retro
shade period, so we'll reallyfeel like we can move forward in
the areas of Mercury and Leo,venus and Leo again values
morals, relationships,aesthetics, money, material
things.
And Leo is bold, it iscreativity, it is
(19:29):
self-expression.
Right, leo is ruled by the sun,it's the brightest thing in the
sky, so it's like look at me,see me, I as a Leo moon and
rising.
I love when Venus is in Leobecause it just feels like very
big expressive energy inrelationships and I love love,
so I love to like feel thatenergy.
So that's what's happening onMonday, venus will also be in
(19:53):
trying to Saturn and Aries andthis is a supportive aspect.
Saturn is retrograde and soSaturn Aries is kind of just
like slow your roll, let's,let's set a foundation here,
let's figure this out before welike move forward and take
action.
We have let's see what else isgoing on next week.
So yeah, on the 27th Venus isgoing to be opposite to Pluto,
(20:17):
so again, just sort of that likeobsessive, intense kind of
energy, and it doesn't mean likeobsessive, you know whatever
take it for, for whatever thatmeans, and again, it's so
important of where in your chartthese aspects are, um, but
that'll be really important.
And then there are some otheruh aspects next week.
(20:38):
Definitely get on thenewsletter.
If you're not on the newsletter.
That's like the biggest onethat I wanted to make sure I
talked about.
But again, with this new, withthis new moon at zero degrees of
Virgo and the next new moon at29 degrees of Virgo, this is a
really powerful manifestationportal.
Now, next month, in September,we have it's eclipse season.
(21:01):
We're already in the energy ofeclipse season, but that's when
the eclipses are happening, andso eclipses again they bring
chaos, sort of unstable energy,like they say you know, don't
charge your crystals, you knowwhatever Don't manifest.
Don't manifest during eclipseseason.
I always say trust yourself,experiment, you got to figure it
(21:21):
out yourself right To like knowwhat to and what not to do.
It depends what's happening inyour chart, what's going on.
But also we are alwaysmanifesting right.
But it's like where are youmanifesting?
From?
Lack or abundance?
So to say like don't do themanifestation work.
It's like we're always doingthe manifestation work,
regardless of whether you'reconscious of it or not.
(21:42):
But again, this is two likemoon cycles that that were able
to tap into this Virgo energy.
So, again, everything I saidbefore about like purifying,
like really assessing yourroutines, like what's supporting
you, what's not supporting you,um, can be so, so helpful
during this time.
And yeah, I'm, I have a Virgoin my second house, so this
(22:06):
always feels like I don't knowthe word home is coming to me,
which it just I feel like Virgo.
When I can get my shit rightwith Virgo, everything feels
better, right, I'm moreconfident, I have more
self-worth, I just like feelgood in that area of life, and
(22:27):
so it's also interesting.
This is the one.
So I have what they call at-square, which means that all
mutable signs are in square toeach other.
So I have venus and geminisquare to jupiter and pisces
square to uranus in sagittarius,and the only thing that's
missing is some sort of Virgoplanet.
So it's like I have all of thispressure in my chart and then
(22:51):
Virgo would complete that.
So it feels like this sort ofincomplete pressure, missing
energy that I have, and so I doenjoy when there is something in
Virgo moving through Virgo,because it highlights sort of
those themes for me.
It gives me a little bit moreclarity on, like how I can move
forward on those things, and I'malready sort of starting to
feel that energy.
So it feels good and again, Ipartly just noticing my patterns
(23:17):
, noticing my cycles and doingthe work and just feeling really
grounded and feeling reallymore authentic.
And I think that's the wholepoint, right, we all want
freedom, we all wantauthenticity, we all want to be
ourselves in the world inwhatever way that looks.
And yeah, so I don't know,that's the main things that are
(23:39):
happening in this week.

YouTube and watch it, and Ithink that's everything.
Next week is going to be thetransits for September.
If you listen to this podcast,even if this is your first time,
I'm gonna leave a link in theshow notes, a Google form for
feedback.
I deeply feel called to changejust the format of the podcast.
(26:53):
I don't want, I want, I want tobe more intentional with the
way I show up here, because I'mobsessed with it.
I love it, it's super healingand also it's a lot.
It's time consuming, and so Iwant to make sure that I'm
providing the most value, that,yeah, that it just feels good
for me to do, for you to listento, that.
(27:14):
You're getting something out ofit.
So I'm I'm sitting with how Iwant to explore this and how I
want this to shift a little bit.
I have some ideas, but I wouldlove to hear from you, from you
know, what you really love,maybe what the best episodes
have been, what you like to hearmost of.
Is it human design stuff?
Is it astrology stuff?
Is it transit stuff?
(27:34):
Is it just like self-care?
Is it self-work, like whateverit is?
I'll make it real easy.
Just click the link in the shownotes, hop over to that forum,
let me know, because I value you.
I make this for you, right,it's for me, but it's also for
you primarily, and so I justwant to know.
So, again, click that linkAgain.
(27:54):
Everything you need to know isdown there and I will catch you
in my second Bye.

(00:26):

means to actually live andembody these aspects.
So each week, I'm going toshare stories, lessons, guidance
to help you navigate life'schallenges and really own your
magic.
So if you're ready to step up,take control and show up as the
most authentic version of you,let's begin.
Welcome back to another episodeon the podcast.
(00:51):
Today, we're going to talk aboutthis new moon that's happening
on Saturday, and we're going totalk a little bit about the
transits that are coming up nextweek, because this little
portal that we're in right nowis so powerful.
It's like a littlemanifestation portal, because we
have a new moon in Virgo that'shappening at zero degrees of
(01:13):
Virgo on Saturday Friday,depending on your time zone and
then at the end of Virgo season,so right before the sun moves
into Libra.
We have another new moon inVirgo, at 29 degrees of Virgo,
which is also an eclipse, and sothere's these two Virgo cycles
that are happening and it's justreally powerful.
(01:36):
So we're going to get into that.
We're going to talk a littlebit about manifestation, one
thing I've been saying formonths.
Actually, before we get into it, I just want to say if you did
not join the New Moon Circle,you can get the replay for that.
I'll leave the link below wherewe go through.
We have journal prompts forthat.
There's meditation, eft,tapping and just really going
(01:56):
over the transits from a verybroad big perspective.
So we get into everythingthat's going on because there's
a lot going on astrologically.
I know we've been saying it fora long time, but we really are
going.
There's just there is a lothappening.
And so, going back to the newmoon, we have this Virgo to moon
(02:21):
, have this Virgo to moon.
The sun moves into Virgo onFriday and Virgo is organization
.
Virgo is a mutable earth signand I love.
I was just on a new moon circlecall with Jana Romer.
She has been on the podcast andif you don't know her, she's an
incredible astrologer,definitely one of my mentors and
she was talking about thismutable energy of Virgo.
(02:43):
And she was talking about thismutable energy of Virgo.
And when we think about Virgobeing an earth sign, right, it
is about the digestive system,the immune system, because it's
all linked in together.
And so when we think about thedigestive system, right, we're
taking external things, movingthem internal and digesting it
through our system and, again,with it being an earth sign, and
(03:04):
Virgo is one of those, it'sright at the end, before we move
into the fall equinox, right.
So it's this changing ofseasons from summer to fall.
But when we think about earthand plants and digestion and
food, we're taking these plantsfrom earth, grown up on earth,
we're taking these things of theearth and we're putting them
(03:25):
into our body.
And when we eat really clean,healthy food that serves us, we
are creating an internal change,right.
So I loved that twist on sortof that mutable energy.
Mutable is when something isshifting, it's changing, right,
and so it is this energy ofgoing from summer to fall.
But also, we're taking thesethings, these external things,
(03:45):
internally and we're shifting it.
We're changing our body, we'rechanging what happens inside,
right, our digestive system, thegut, what is linked to the gut.
When we have an unhealthy gut,we tend to struggle with our
mental health, because thatgut-brain axis right, that gut,
is known as the second brain.
Virgo also holds the archetypeof the virgin, and this is all
(04:06):
happening in gate 59 in humandesign.
So these are really linked upclosely, which is why I'm
mentioning that now.
And gate 59 is the gate ofintimacy, and so when we think
about the virgin archetype, it'snot so much sex related it can
be, but it's not necessarilywhat it means it's this
purification, it's this puritythat we can bring in.
(04:26):
And so when we think about thishas two pieces to it, right,
but one.
It's like we are being asked tocome into ourselves and be good
with ourselves, to becomfortable with ourselves.
Right, we're asking to purify,and I've been saying it for so
long.
What are the quality of yourthoughts?
(04:47):
Because Virgo is Mercury rules,so we are analyzing, whereas
Gemini the other sign thatMercury rules Gemini is
fact-finding, it's curiosity,it's collecting information,
it's asking the questions,whereas Virgo is more.
Now we have the facts, nowwe're analyzing it, we're
thinking about it, right?
So I've been again, I've beenasking this for so long what are
(05:10):
the quality of your thoughts,right, what are you?
Because when we think aboutdigestion, when we think about
things, we're taking in from theoutside and transforming and
transmuting in our body.
This doesn't just have to dowith our food.
We're consuming informationeverywhere we turn the news
friends, just people out inpublic, teachers, coaches.
(05:32):
We're consuming social mediaright, we're taking in so much
and it truly impacts the waythat we think, right, and the
way that we think impacts theway that we feel.
The way that we feel impactsthe way that we do things, and
then the way that we do thingscreates habits, and Virgo is
habits and daily routines.
(05:52):
It's the mundane, it's theday-to-day things that can
either support us and serve usor can hinder us and hurt us.
So through this whole season,we're really being asked like
what are your habits, what areyour routines, what are the
quality of your thoughts?
What are you taking into yourbody, right?
So, again, like this wholehealth piece to Virgo, it's not
(06:12):
just your physical body, it'sjust everything that you're
consuming.
Purity theme, right, it's likebeing good with yourself.
And the thing with Virgo isbecause we're moving into Libra
season.
And what is Libra?
Libra is relationships, right,we're moving from this part of
the zodiac where we've gonethrough the eye, we're building
(06:33):
things, we're figuring out whowe are, we're nurturing
ourselves, like all these things, where we're going through this
whole like eye-centered half ofthe zodiac, and then we move
into Libra where we're nowwe-centered right, we're focused
on relationships.
So, virgo being that mutablelast piece to the I, it's like
we're perfecting ourselves toenter into relationship in the
(06:56):
best version of ourselves.
And so when we go through theseason, we're really looking at
ourselves and you know, we knowthat cleaning up our body,
cleaning up our mind, cleaningup our routines, cleaning up our
habits right going to the gym,moving our body, eating right,
cooking at home all of thesethings that purify and clean and
support our body then allows usto show up in relationship in a
(07:21):
more empowered way.
Because anytime you're doing thework, be it alone or in
relationship, you can only workon yourself.
We can't poke and prod ourpartner to be like, hey, you
need to do this, hey, you needto do that.
Right, and think about kids.
You tell kids to do something,but unless you're doing it and
you're embodying it, they're notgoing to pay attention, right,
(07:42):
it's not going to seep in in thesame way, but when you're
embodying it, like I will tellyou the last few months that
I've been meditating twice a day, I've just been a lot calmer,
I've been more present.
Of course, there are stillareas that can be worked on, but
I've noticed me coming insideand doing that work has shifted.
The way I show up in my familywith my kids has shifted, the
(08:05):
way that they act, right.
And so that in itself, that, Ifeel like, is what that
archetype holds for Virgo.
It's you coming inside,purifying yourself, right,
seeing what serves you, what'sworking, what's not, how you can
support yourself better, how wecan clean up our body, how we
can clean up our mind, right,all of these things to then
(08:26):
enter into Libra season, wherewe're now entering into, ideally
, a relationship where we are ahigher version of ourselves,
where we're able to show up andhold the space because we've
done the work and we're notconstantly triggered or
projecting or any of thosethings right?
And so, virgo, really is thisinternal look into all of those
things right, like what'ssupporting us?
(08:47):
How can we do better?
And with this new moon, it'sreally there's so much going on
and again, if you watch thereplay.
I share the chart so you canreally get an in-depth view.
But big picture we.
So this new moon the new moon iswhen the sun and the moon are
conjunct and the new moon issquare to Uranus and Gemini, and
(09:10):
squares are more challengingaspects that are calling us to
take action, to do somethingright.
And Uranus and Gemini isradically changing the way that
we think, the way that weperceive things, because the way
that we think, the way that weperceive things, because the way
that we think is the way thatwe perceive things, and the way
that we perceive things createsour reality.
And if we want to create a newreality, we have to think and
(09:33):
perceive things differently.
We have to shift the way thatwe think and perceive things.
So there's that Uranus is shock, right.
So there is this element ofunpredictability and instability
to a sign that values.
All Earth signs value safetyand security in some way, and so
it's bringing instability, it'sbringing a little bit of shock,
(09:57):
but Uranus is the greatawakener.
Uranus is truth, and so it mightbe challenging us to come
inside and do that purificationwork and get to the truth and
create awareness around thethings that maybe we're not
seeing or we're avoiding or weneed to implement, right At the
(10:18):
end of the new moon circle withJan Romer and there are journal
prompts as well inside of thenew moon circle.
That's down below the link atthe replay.
So, yeah, so Uranus issupporting us in seeing that
truth inside of us, the thingsthat we're avoiding, the things
that we need to let go of, thethings that we're calling in and
in order to call in, we knowthat we have to create space to
(10:41):
call in new things, right?
So, looking around at yourhabits, your daily routines,
what is supporting you and whatis not supporting you, one
practice that Jana left at theend of the circle that I
absolutely love was, for fivedays, every single morning,
write what you want your day tolook like, and it doesn't have
to be huge, it can just be likeI want to go to the gym, I want
(11:05):
to cook a home cooked meal, Iwant to clean the house, I want
to whatever it is.
And then, at the end of yournight, journal how your day
looked like and see what thedifference is.
Right, I have noticed that.
So I journal every evening whereI was aligned and where I felt
like I lost myself and over thelast week or two that I've been
(11:25):
in this practice.
I've been in this practicelonger than a week or two, but
over the last week or two I'vemore so noticed that I've lost
myself in scrolling.
I'll get on to post somethingand then I end up scrolling for
a little bit, and so that'ssomething that I know during
this Virgo season, which is aseason that is supporting us in
implementing new routines andhabits or just really looking at
it and creating awareness or inamplifying right Like shining a
(11:48):
light on it, that's something Iwant to have more boundaries on
with myself is not being on thephone all the time, not
scrolling right If I get on topost, maybe even just having a
pocket of time, giving myself anhour in the evening and you
know 30 minutes, or whatever.
It may be setting moreboundaries around when I show up
online and how I show up online.
I mean, over the last couplemonths, I have just so
(12:11):
drastically changed my life inso many different ways.
It's crazy that I haveimplemented a lot of supportive
habits and routines, but ofcourse there are a lot that I
have implemented a lot ofsupportive habits and routines,
but of course there are a lotthat I can still clean up and
implement.
There's things that maybe I'mnot seeing.
That, with your honor,supporting this will allow us
then to come in and see, becauseit is shock, it's truth, right,
it's going to bring to thesurface these things that maybe
(12:33):
we're not seeing otherwise.
Right.
And so, approaching with anopen mind and an open heart and
this is gate 59, which is whatthe new moon and the sun are in
during the new moon is gate 59,gate of intimacy the shadow of
gate 59 is dishonesty.
And so this is really, firstand foremost where are you being
(12:54):
dishonest with yourself, right?
Where are you being dishonestwith yourself around, whatever
it may, be right, the gift is anintimacy, and so the gift is as
we go through all of this stuff, as we go through our shadows.
So, as we're navigating thisquestion, where am I being
dishonest with myself?
(13:15):
As we're navigating theseshadows?
And trauma and ancestral traumaand all these things that come
up as we're navigating that, andtrauma and ancestral trauma and
all these things that come upas we're navigating that, you
know, because in every shadowthere is a gift, and Richard
Rudd says this over and over andover through the Gene Keys
sequences.
So as we're navigating these,things are going to come up that
are uncomfortable.
Right, it's not about avoidingit, it's really just being with
it.
And one thing I've learned overthe last few months is that
(13:38):
being with the shadow, beingwith the pain, doesn't mean that
we're amplifying it.
It means that we're being withit and we're sitting with it and
we're neutralizing ourself.
Right In the Gene Keys, richardRudd says and I can't remember,
I think it was about the corewound he was talking about, but
he talks about when you're withthat shadow.
(13:58):
Right, we're actually focusingon when we close our eyes,
whatever that shadow is for you,right, if you close your eyes
and you sit with that shadow andyou're like man, this is
painful, this hurts, this sucks,right, because what is the
saying?
The pain is inevitable,suffering is optional.
So when we're sitting with thatpain, that is inevitable.
When we're diving into theseshadows of like, oh my gosh, I
continue to procrastinate, Icontinue to not do the thing, I
(14:19):
continue to shy away, or Icontinue to not show up, or I
continue to get frustrated withmy kids, I continue.
Whatever it is when you'vecreated awareness, whatever that
thing is, we're sitting with it.
And it's not about, again, it'snot about amplifying the shadow
, it's about tapping in.
So, for me, when I meditate andI tap in, I tap into the space
in my heart and I could justfeel my essence right, that pure
(14:40):
, that virgin archetype right,but that pure essence of who I
am at my core, in my heart, andit's just love, it's the
consciousness, right, love,consciousness, that's really all
it is when you tap into thatspace.
And so, again, when you sitwith your pain and you sit with
your shadows, it's notamplifying those, it's being
with them, it's being in them,it's not avoiding them, it's not
(15:03):
pushing them away, it's nottrying to do anything about them
, but it's focusing on thatlight, right, it's more
amplifying that light in themidst of that pain.
And so that's really where themagic is and where I think I
find.
I know over the last few monthsthat I've really been meditating
at least twice, sometimesmultiple times a day, because
(15:25):
I'm going through something, orif something comes up, or I feel
triggered, or I notice athought, because I've been
really aware of my thoughts andthe quality of my thoughts, or
if I'm losing myself, like ifI'm sitting there and scrolling
on social media.
I'm like, okay, why, and justbe with it, but like and
focusing on that place in mychest that I feel that and just
(15:47):
breathing into that helpsneutralize it and then I can see
it from a neutral perspectiveand I can work through it.
I can.
I've been journaling like crazy, like my journal is just like
pages of just my thoughts and myfeelings and getting it out.
But then, like I come to thisneutral space and then I can
objectively see it and then knowthat I need to take action
steps.
So it's really transformed somuch of the way that I think and
(16:09):
operate.
And so I share that because ifyou're, you know, as we're
navigating this new moon,there's a lot that's supporting
us.
That is very supportive.
So this square, so the moon andthe sun square to Uranus that's
a challenging aspect, but most,most of the other aspects are
actually very supportive Rightbefore the new moon.
(16:32):
Venus is square to Chiron, whichis another challenging aspect.
But Venus is bringing in ourvalues and Chiron is.
You know, chiron is our woundedhealer, right?
So I do think about the corewound a lot in the gene keys, if
you know what your core woundis, and it's not to say that
either of these planets are inthat core wound.
They might be, but it's justthe idea of Chiron that wounded.
(16:53):
This is asking us where ourvalues lie first and foremost,
but it's asking us to do thatwork around our
self-assertiveness or just whowe are, because Aries is I am,
(17:19):
aries is self-leadership, ariesis action, aries is the warrior
energy.
We're fighting for something,ideally a good cause, but we're
fighting for something.
And so Venus in aspect and in achallenging square right to
Chiron, it's really bringing upthese themes of like, kind of
like.
Who am I?
What do I value Right, like,can I speak on those?
(17:39):
Why am I not speaking on thoseRight?
How can I find my ownself-leadership in this?
And it could show up in yourrelationships.
As you know, trans find my ownself-leadership in this and it
could show up in yourrelationships.
As you know, transits arecollective energy, so it could
be something.
It all really depends on whereit shows up in your chart.
So, even with the new moon,notice where Virgo is in your
chart and that's the area oflife this will mostly be
impacting.
(17:59):
And let me see what else isgoing on with this new moon that
I'm going to talk about here,because.
So there's that square toChiron moon that I'm going to
talk about here.
So there's that square toChiron Next week we are going to
move.
Okay, so what I wrote down forgate 59 dishonesty this is
peeling back the layers of yourpain and wounding and moving
through it, and I wrote thisfeels very Chiron and with
(18:22):
Chiron being activated in Venus,this is really really linked in
here.
Venus next week is going to beopposite Pluto and Venus is
opposite to Pluto next week.
It is loosely opposite to Plutoduring this transit, so Venus
is being activated in a lot ofchallenging ways, but Venus
opposite to Pluto is really justbringing intensity.
(18:45):
This is like I think Jana saidit way back in like January or
some other new moon, and she waslike this is obsessive love,
right, because this is likeintense and it is obsessive and
it is power and control, becausethat's what Pluto represents as
well.
And so, with that just beingaware of like that's happening,
venus is also entering Leo onMonday, the 25th.
(19:08):
This is also the same day thatMercury is leaving its retro
shade period, so we'll reallyfeel like we can move forward in
the areas of Mercury and Leo,venus and Leo again values
morals, relationships,aesthetics, money, material
things.
And Leo is bold, it iscreativity, it is
(19:29):
self-expression.
Right, leo is ruled by the sun,it's the brightest thing in the
sky, so it's like look at me,see me, I as a Leo moon and
rising.
I love when Venus is in Leobecause it just feels like very
big expressive energy inrelationships and I love love,
so I love to like feel thatenergy.
So that's what's happening onMonday, venus will also be in
(19:53):
trying to Saturn and Aries andthis is a supportive aspect.
Saturn is retrograde and soSaturn Aries is kind of just
like slow your roll, let's,let's set a foundation here,
let's figure this out before welike move forward and take
action.
We have let's see what else isgoing on next week.
So yeah, on the 27th Venus isgoing to be opposite to Pluto,
(20:17):
so again, just sort of that likeobsessive, intense kind of
energy, and it doesn't mean likeobsessive, you know whatever
take it for, for whatever thatmeans, and again, it's so
important of where in your chartthese aspects are, um, but
that'll be really important.
And then there are some otheruh aspects next week.
(20:38):
Definitely get on thenewsletter.
If you're not on the newsletter.
That's like the biggest onethat I wanted to make sure I
talked about.
But again, with this new, withthis new moon at zero degrees of
Virgo and the next new moon at29 degrees of Virgo, this is a
really powerful manifestationportal.
Now, next month, in September,we have it's eclipse season.
(21:01):
We're already in the energy ofeclipse season, but that's when
the eclipses are happening, andso eclipses again they bring
chaos, sort of unstable energy,like they say you know, don't
charge your crystals, you knowwhatever Don't manifest.
Don't manifest during eclipseseason.
I always say trust yourself,experiment, you got to figure it
(21:21):
out yourself right To like knowwhat to and what not to do.
It depends what's happening inyour chart, what's going on.
But also we are alwaysmanifesting right.
But it's like where are youmanifesting?
From?
Lack or abundance?
So to say like don't do themanifestation work.
It's like we're always doingthe manifestation work,
regardless of whether you'reconscious of it or not.
(21:42):
But again, this is two likemoon cycles that that were able
to tap into this Virgo energy.
So, again, everything I saidbefore about like purifying,
like really assessing yourroutines, like what's supporting
you, what's not supporting you,um, can be so, so helpful
during this time.
And yeah, I'm, I have a Virgoin my second house, so this
(22:06):
always feels like I don't knowthe word home is coming to me,
which it just I feel like Virgo.
When I can get my shit rightwith Virgo, everything feels
better, right, I'm moreconfident, I have more
self-worth, I just like feelgood in that area of life, and
(22:27):
so it's also interesting.
This is the one.
So I have what they call at-square, which means that all
mutable signs are in square toeach other.
So I have venus and geminisquare to jupiter and pisces
square to uranus in sagittarius,and the only thing that's
missing is some sort of Virgoplanet.
So it's like I have all of thispressure in my chart and then
(22:51):
Virgo would complete that.
So it feels like this sort ofincomplete pressure, missing
energy that I have, and so I doenjoy when there is something in
Virgo moving through Virgo,because it highlights sort of
those themes for me.
It gives me a little bit moreclarity on, like how I can move
forward on those things, and I'malready sort of starting to
feel that energy.
So it feels good and again, Ipartly just noticing my patterns
(23:17):
, noticing my cycles and doingthe work and just feeling really
grounded and feeling reallymore authentic.
And I think that's the wholepoint, right, we all want
freedom, we all wantauthenticity, we all want to be
ourselves in the world inwhatever way that looks.
And yeah, so I don't know,that's the main things that are
(23:39):
happening in this week.
