We’ve built expectations, set goals, and mapped out how we thought the end of the year would unfold… yet the results just aren’t matching up. This lunation brings a disconnect between expectation and reality.

This Virgo New Moon invites us to embrace an intentional rhythm. We are asked to remember that devotion doesn’t need grandeur. It can live in routines, in quiet acts of care, and in the little tasks we often rush through. Especially for those of us holding many roles, parent, priestess, creator, this lunation is a chance to weave the divine into our daily lives, one offering at a time.

This is the Mother Moon—the one that rebuilds life not with noise, but with nourishment. It’s a moon for cradling the self, protecting the dream, and creating from care rather than urgency.
