New Moon Medicine: A Portal of Self-Love and Becoming
By Virginia Underwood
Right now, we’re standing in the quiet womb of the New Moon — a sacred pause between what was and what is becoming.
This one is especially potent.
The New Moon in Leo is activating a rare celestial symphony: Uranus at 0° Gemini, Saturn and Neptune in early Aries, Pluto at 2° Aquarius, and Chiron, the wounded healer, at 27° Aries, not to mention Mercury in retrograde in Leo….
✨ It’s revolutionary.
✨ It’s tender.
✨ It’s asking us to love ourselves where it hurts the most.
And for me? That ache lives in the places I thought I had already healed.
Lately, I’ve been walking through some of the deepest territory of my inner landscape — confronting wounds around my father, my worth, and the old, inherited patterns tied to money, survival, and sacrifice.
The grief has come in waves. The clarity has cut through like lightning.
I've been realizing just how long I’ve been carrying burdens that were never mine — trying to earn love through work, through caretaking, through never being “too much.”
But that’s ending now. Something new is emerging.
Something softer.
Something stronger.
This New Moon is a turning point. Not just for me — but maybe for you too.
If you’re feeling cracked open or undone, please know this:
You’re not lost.
You’re being remade.
This is a time to:
🌱 Plant intentions that honor your truth, not your trauma.
🔥 Reclaim your fire — even if it scares you.
💗 Tend to the part of you that still flinches when love comes too close.
🦁 Remember: Leo is the lion-hearted sign of the soul. This isn’t about performance — it’s about presence.
Here’s a simple practice you can do tonight:
Light a candle.
Place your hand over your heart.
Breathe and ask: What part of me is asking to be loved right now?
Listen without judgment.
Play “I Get to Love You” by Ruelle — and let that be your vow to your own becoming.
Let this New Moon be the moment you choose yourself — not because you’re perfect, but because you’re real.
And that is sacred.
🖤
