Virgo New Moon Eclipse: Releasing Control, Opening Flow

Welcome.

Take a moment to arrive in your body,

Right where you are.

Close your eyes if that feels comfortable.

With your next inhale,

Breathe in deeply through your nose.

Exhale slowly through your mouth,

Like a soft sigh.

This Virgo new moon is also a solar eclipse,

A turning point.

Not just a new beginning,

But a moment of clearing.

An invitation to let go of control,

Perfection,

And the shoulds that no longer serve you.

Set your intention now.

I am open to releasing what I no longer need.

I trust presence over perfection.

Bring awareness to your body.

Notice where you might be holding tension from control or striving to get it right.

Start with your jaw.

Is it clenched?

Your shoulders.

Are they lifted or tight?

Your chest or belly.

Are you holding your breath without realizing?

Your hands.

Are they gripping?

Ready to act?

Ready to do?

As you notice these places,

Breathe into them gently.

With every exhale,

Invite them to soften just a little.

You don't need to fix it.

Just notice.

And let the breath create space.

This is what release feels like in the body.

Not pushing,

But softening.

Now,

Bring to mind this question.

Where am I gripping tightly out of fear of not being enough?

Notice what arises.

A situation.

A habit.

A story you keep telling yourself.

You don't need to judge it.

Just notice.

Another reflection.

What am I ready to set down?

What can I release,

Even if just a little?

Let your breath guide the answers.

Trust what surfaces,

Even if it's just a feeling.

Not yet words.

Now,

Imagine yourself standing under a dark sky,

Illuminated only by the eclipse.

Before you,

You see all the habits,

Fears,

Or shoulds you've been carrying.

Heavy,

Like bags on your shoulders.

With each exhale,

Imagine setting one bag down.

One burden.

One old story.

See the eclipse light sweep it away,

Dissolving it into the sky.

You don't need to control this process.

The eclipse knows what to carry.

You only need to let go.

Breathe in presence.

Exhale perfection.

Inhale trust.

Exhale control.

Place a hand on your heart,

If that feels good.

Repeat silently or aloud.

I trust presence over perfection.

I release what no longer serves me.

I step forward,

Lighter,

Softer,

And more whole.

Take one last deep breath.

Exhale fully.

When you're ready,

Gently bring your awareness back to your body,

To this space,

And to this moment.

Know that what you've released has already begun clearing.

You only need to walk forward with trust.
