Welcome,
Dear soul.
Find a comfortable place to rest,
Sitting or laying down.
Allow your body to be held by the surface you have chosen.
Let your eyes gently close.
And arrive here just as you are.
Tonight the sky is dark.
The moon is new.
And there is something beautiful in this new moon,
Something the soul already knows.
Soul's reminder that what cannot always be seen.
Can still be known.
Spelled and heard.
Breathe in.
And let it go.
Breathe in again.
And on your exhale,
Feel yourself soften.
Above you tonight.
A bright light shines.
A star known as Spica.
The brightest star in Virgo's sky,
The sign holding this new moon.
Or shine as alone here.
Magnificent.
Magical.
Magical because Spica is not one star.
She is two.
Two stars orbiting so close to one another that they appear as one single point of light.
Two held so near,
They shine as one.
The symbol of Virgo is a goddess.
Known by many names across time.
Demeter,
Isis,
Ostrea,
Persephone,
The Grain Mother,
The Healer,
The Last of the Immortals,
And in every telling.
She stands holding a grain of wheat.
And shining from the grain she holds is Spica.
Or light spreading across the sky of Virgil.
The ancient meaning of Spica.
Is here of Crane.
Where the seed is held.
This is where two stars shine.
Where this ear listens.
And its seed song ripens.
Do you hear the light?
Feel the presence of your ears as one.
Earring light.
Hearing your own song.
An ear for your music.
Your life.
Imagine yourself.
As this goddess now,
Holding the seed.
Hearing the light of two stars becoming one.
Feel that now.
Breathe that in now.
The ancient myths say this goddess rose to the sky at the fall of humanity.
She was the last to leave.
The last light to ascend from the earth.
And she has been shining from the constellation of Virgo ever since.
But tonight,
Under this Virgo new moon,
She is returning to Earth.
To you.
To your own heart.
This is what this new moon is reminding you.
That the light shining from above lives here.
In you.
How's you?
Your soul as light.
Your soul as love.
Your soul as nourishment.
The light.
The love.
The nourishment in you is enough.
You are enough.
Enough you.
Merged with the ancient of you.
Your soul has chosen to be here now.
Living under this new moon.
Living within this new moon.
Holding all of the nourishment you need and shining with the brightest light.
The planet ruling this goddess tonight is Mercury,
The messenger.
And here Mercury turns inward.
Toward you.
Toward the light shining from you.
A message of devotion to you.
Listen now.
Hear your light from the place where your sound began.
From breath.
From coup.
From harm.
Hear this message of devotion to your heart.
Your soul voice is rising.
Your soul's song was always here.
Here shines your devotion.
Ear listens your ear for light.
Begin now to feel the weight of your body again.
The breath moving through you.
Mother Earth's gravity holding you.
Holding the soul and heart of you.
Bring your hands to rest over your heart.
You hold your own ear of grain now.
While this Virgo new moon holds you.
You are the Goddess Returned to Earth.
Sovereign.
Complete.
Holding what is yours.
Remember Spica.
Remember the ear.
That holds seeds of light.
Soul's Reminder.
What cannot always be seen can still be heard.
When you are ready and only when you are ready.
Let your eyes open.
Gently.
Into this new lunar cycle.
Go gently,
Dear soul.
