Here's my #NewMoonInVirgo oracle card reading, from The Moon Deck.

And, I love it! 😍 So let's get into it.

The first card is about expansion. This is something I've said before, but being ready to receive what you've been asking for and working towards is just as important as that work.

So be prepared because the card is a good omen, that things are shifting for the better, that you can take that leap of faith and land right where you want to be. Doesn't mean it's not scary to do it--but you can do it. You are supported.

And that's more spiritually supported--and I say that as an orange butterfly flies by my window (hi Grandma!).

But let's say you're a bit in a hermit mode like I am (and not necessarily by choice). Community is still paramount, especially in times like these.

I know it's been said a few times on here, but a lot of times we go it alone because of past hurts and trust issues. And that's OK. And through, self-reliance and resilience is birthed. And as a double Capricorn, I will always support and cheer on those attributes!

But there's balance that's necessary. No matter what season you're in, I hope you have people on this plane supporting you, even if it's just one person. You most definitely deserve that support.

If you don't have it right now, use this new moon to call those people in. Plant the seeds this week.

There are a ton of practical ways to do that, @madamepamita has a great blog post on meeting like-minded people, as lovers or friends (some magic, too!) parlourofwonders.com/magic-blog/201…

Sidenote, the first card I pulled was a repeater card from my last reading, and yet, here I am talking about community anyway. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Anyway, I digress. "I am ready, thank you"--yes, gratitude, for all that you've done and have endured so far, and for all that lies ahead--gratitude for everything. Amor fati.

It will take some time to get there, though. To be grateful for everything requires...

And that's what the second card is about. Here we are, in the dark soil of the new moon in Virgo.

Virgo and her sheaves of wheat ♍ has us looking forward to harvest season, but the harvest began as seeds first.

This is something I've been personally struggling with, the rather laborious growth process of learning, unlearning, and relearning how to be a decent person to myself and others.

I wrote about this very thing in May sunoppositemoon.wordpress.com/2018/05/13/squ…

So not much else to say except be patient, as you plant the seeds of the hopes and dreams you hope to harvest when the moon has reached its culmination 6 months later--and beyond that.

[Enter all the cliches about time and patience here]

Also astrologically, Saturn has started to chug along again after being retrograde for a few months. Hopefully you can start to feel the momentum build.

As you wait for things to grow in your life, Saturn wants you to grow patience most of all. It's not easy, but it's worth it

And as YOU grow, you'll start to lay down things and attitudes that no longer serve you, which brings me to the last card: rebirth.

Virgo is so practical, so if you need some time to think about how to get from here to there and what's in the way--this is the time to do it.

And we can get so attached to relationships and methods and habits...and then wonder why we feel stymied or stuck. If you want the real skinny on that, again--this is the time to examine what's working and what's not working.

This seems like the right time to ready yourself for all the newness, growth, and expansion you've been seeking.

Just remember that you don't have to do it alone. You have support, both here on earth and beyond the veil. 💘
