New Moon Wishes
There are two New Moons for September. The next one will be in Virgo on Friday September 30th at 8:11 pm EST.
Virgo rules the lower intestines and stomach area. If there's ever a month to "listen to your gut," this is it. The stomach is often called the second brain, and why we so often feel things most strongly in the stomach. Your stomach is also called the solar plexus, so listen to it more closely this month when you have an inkling.
In addition, wishes related to serving others, the home, perfectionism, and communication are all excellent. Nervous tension is a problem at this time, so wishes relating to calm and serenity are also beneficial. This is an excellent sign for making wishes related to work and career gains, pets, and overall health. Maybe you've been contemplating a change? This is the month to set the wheels in motion for it. This is a time of new beginnings, and sometimes, a cosmic "kick in the pants." Whatever happens, things will change at this point. The sun ensures we don't become complacent.
The full moon on September 16th will be a lunar eclipse and may mark an ending. Sometimes there's a shock. Go easy on yourself around this date. These lunar movements can sometimes make us melancholy, but it’s all part of moving us forward in life.
Be sure to make your 10 wishes within 48 hours of the New Moon for most effective use of the timing. Click here to read about how to make your wishes for the New Moon.
