We have a New Moon in Virgo and New Moons always welcome in beginnings and initiations. Virgo is a sign of practicality and solutions and during this time of chaos and unrest, Virgo can help you discern what needs to be done to get you back on track. While Mars in retrograde you might lack the energy and ambition to fuel you forward, which is to protect you from proceeding in the wrong direction-in a direction that is not aligned with your soul purpose; in a direction ruled by your ego. During this time of Virgo's discernment, you can reflect and ask yourself what is absolutely essential for your well being and then, act upon it. Ultimately, Virgo is a sign of efficiency in action and it can teach you to prioritize self care so that you can help others. Today, make time to tune into your true nature. Ask yourself how you can honor your instincts so you can allow yourself to be to yourself and have the clarity to live your purpose. You and I cannot go back to they way we were living, ignoring what we knew didn't work in our lives any longer. Today, look within and let your inner voice lead you. You are not alone and can do anything when you put your heart and mind to it.

Just for today, I go within and connect with the parts of myself that knows how to heal. I know that healing means to make whole and accept all parts of myself not just the ones that I like, but all of me. I affirm that I have the power to heal myself and that I am worth the time I spend healing and nurturing myself. I am safe. I am willing to change and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
