Step out barefoot into the sunshine and place your feet on the fertile earth. Breathe deep and return to the home within yourself, knowing you are safe, abundant, and capable of manifesting all you dream of in this life.  

The grand earth trine, which will dominate much of the energy of September 2023, is amplified in the week of September 11 –17. Mercury is direct alongside the New Moon in Virgo, helping you feel grounded and stable enough to take a risk on manifesting your dreams. Virgo energy is practical and down to earth. It enables you to formulate a plan, make a list, and then move forward with logic, but it is also healing.  

This is a time to embrace this energy and focus on what you can do now to ensure that all you dream of will soon become a reality. With Mercury direct, you are now encouraged to make decisions, step out in new ways, and begin to allow yourself to not just dream of the future but begin to take strides to reach it. As you do, the Virgo New Moon instills within you a new beginning, one that is being embraced by the earth’s energy surrounding you and ensuring that whatever you create now will have profound and stable roots.

Manifesting with the New Moon in Virgo and Mercury direct can be done at any time of the day, though working with the energy at the end of the week on September 14 or 15 will prove to be the most powerful. Virgo is earth energy, and with the grand earth trine, incorporating that element into your rituals through herbs such as lavender, lemon balm, and rosemary can make your intentions more powerful.

You can also consider the essential oils of bergamot, spruce, and eucalyptus along with the crystals, jasper, carnelian, and clear quartz to embody the zodiac sign of Virgo and the element of earth in your practice, ensuring you are in tune with the universe and are manifesting on the highest frequency possible.
