Sunday’s Solar Eclipse in Virgo: Making the Most of Challenging Energy

In recording ​this month’s Tarot for All 12 Signs​, I witnessed one piece of guidance come through time and again: “don’t jump to conclusions, you do not have all the facts and can’t see the whole picture yet”. Well…the past week has given us some of the worst examples of just that. On this, the coming week-and to a lesser extent the week after that- will be no different.

While new moons typically provide space for setting new intentions, this solar eclipse in Virgo energy will overshadow that (no pun intended) with the sweeping energy of often chaotic change. While not a great time to make huge or sudden decisions, this intense energy is helpful for reflection & introspection.

This all happens under the sign of Virgo, making this a charmed time to reassess any routines, systems and patterns with an eye on efficiency and your long term goals. Consider the structures (jobs, organizations, workflows, etc) that you have outgrown or may otherwise keep you stuck.

Making the Most of this energy: Solar Eclipse in Virgo

Eclipses are known to bring up fear on individual and collective (societal) levels. Fear is a powerful motivator but not a positive one. While there is a time and a place to move that quickly, when the levels of fear and urgency exceed the actual threat we risk overshadowing our senses of reason, logic and long term planning. Any means of grounding, energy clearing or quieting your mind will provide you with some much needed balance during this solar eclipse in Virgo transit.

If you don’t know where to begin, here are some simple ideas:

• Meditation, whether silent or guided
• A bath or foot soak with epsom salt
• Journaling, brainstorming & mind mapping can provide new perspective
• Reiki and/or IET treatment or self-treatment​ try my archived livestreams
• ​Putting your bare feet on the Earth
• Sacred smoke, incense, Florida water, etc.

These energies will feel unique to each of us. Here are some helpful crystals sorted for your individual needs:

• Shadow work – Nuummite, Rutilated Quartz, Indigo Gabbro
• Organization – Garnet, Lapis Lazuli, Fluorite
• Energy Clearing – Black tourmaline, Shungite, Selenite
• Grounding – Red Jasper, Tourmalinated Quartz, Brecciated Jasper
• Quieting the Mind – Bloodstone/Heliotrope, Kambaba Stone, Herkimer Diamond
• Handling Change – Fluorite, Garnet, Chrysoprase
• Releasing Fear & Worry: Smoky Quartz, Black Onyx

And, as usual,​ I’ll be live on Friday & Sunday at 8pm EST​ to help bring through some stillness and renewal.

Take care of yourself this week!
