New Moon 21° Virgo | Horoscope for the Signs
Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog with Shayla. The New Moon in 21° Virgo beams its lunar rays on September 14, 2023, at 9:40 pm EDT. Today, I share a short story conquered as a reminder of the archetype that lives within Virgo—followed by the symbolism of the sign leading us into the horoscopes for the 12 zodiac signs.
The Goddess stands outside Jose Quezada's Bodega with freshly baked Italian bread from the Palagonia Bakery. She waits for Clemente's famous flower shop in the kitty corner to open its breezy doors. An arcoíris of flower arrangement hangs from the door frame. A million natural perfumes emanating from the plants into the Goddess's nose. She pauses for a moment to embrace it all. Living in her new nature. Living in her essence.
Virgo symbolizes the Virgin Goddess carrying a stack of wheat in her arms. Virgo represents Demeter, the Goddess of harvest and agriculture. Demeter is also known as the Great Mother. In mythology, Demeter was the mother of Persephone, the Goddess of the Underworld. As a mother, she suffered immensely from losing her daughter to Hades (God of the Underworld, aka Pluto). Rage. Melancholy but also strength developed within the Demeter. She's giving BOSS lady energy. Virgo is not only the Virgin but also acquires the power of Demeter. There's an innate ability to connect to the earth and branch out in intellectualism with Virgo.
A friend asked me when we'll be able to see the New Moon in the sky. Because the new Moon is dark, it is not visible as the Full Moon. Instead, we may feel the energy as it move in the cosmos.
I share the horoscopes for all the signs in honor of the New Moon. Suppose you'd like to read your Sun + Rising sign to get an overview of the energies. Enjoy the read!

Try not to hide too much in your protective shell or take anyone's comments too seriously. Let negative comments roll down your back
SOULGuidance: Stand with your arms wide open looking towards the East. If you’re not sure which direction is East use the compass on your phone. Stand with your back nice and straight.

You may start to rethink that your worth is compromised. Mercury Rx cast a bit of shadow around any current misalignments regarding self worth and your finances to reshape how you can stand more as your true self. There’s no need to be harsh on yourself. What you’re learning during this season is beneficial for the long term commitment to your true essence. By the way, no one is competing with you. Only you can compete with yourself.
SOULGuidance: If you’ve been doing shadow work. Continue the work. Keep a journal. Everyday make it a practice to write at least one word that resonates with you at the very time and moment you’re in. If you'd like to take it a step further, here are suggestive reflection questions to ask the lion/lioness within:

Throughout the next 3 weeks, bring awareness to your feelings, conversations and pay close attention especially in times when the environment around you feels chaotic. Tap into the word patience by slowing it the f* down
Libra
It’s time to retreat my dear. It’s better to go with the flow than fight your way through this season. You’re asked to sit down with all of it, the good and the challenges. You may feel as your in an illusive space. Let yourself be grounded by connecting to earth around you. Leave space for ideas at work or in your mind to float in.
SOULGuidance: If you have a spiritual practice, turn up the volume by spending more time connecting to the higher up and really diving into what needs to be cleaned out of your life. So renewal can enter. If you don't have a practice, create one that feels good to you and make it a consistent one even after the season is over.
Scorpio
Sporadic changes to your tribe. Time to rethink your partnerships. Does it bring you peace, hope, tranquility? Or does it bring you the opposite?

Sagittarius
What hasn’t worked in your career doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means to replan so after this season you can begin to rebuild. There’s something in your career you’ll need to fine tune. Stay quiet about, replan and then present it out in the world after the retrograde
SOULGuidance:Go to your local library to loan business-related books to help you restructure your career. Search online for inspiration. Or, create a mood board that reflect your career goals on apps like Pinterest or do it the old school way with paper, scissors and magazines
Capricorn
Your belief system comes into question during this season. What you think is right or wrong about what you believe is up for discussion. Remember beliefs stem from early childhood, skewed or not. Attempting to hold on tightly to those beliefs is counter productive during this time. It’s best if you allow yourself to read, learn or listen to others' belief systems.
SoulGuidance: Reflective questions
What is my belief system?
When/where did I acquire those beliefs?
Are those beliefs beneficial to me? Are those beliefs limiting?
How can I grow and develop in my own belief system?
What would I like to integrate into my system that's supportive of who I am right now?
Aquarius
Re-stacking your finances. Time to take care of some needed debts you may owe. Restructure how you've been managing your finances. You may become intrigued by the paranormal, spiritual side of things.
SOULGuidance: Download an app or use excel sheets to take care of your finances.Make a fun scary movie list that you can enjoy on your favorite apps
Pisces
Discernment will be your friend as you begin to open the curtain to the intentions of the people closest to you. Try to do your best to work in equal terms. If equality doesn’t exist then this is a clue to leave those behind who aren’t willing to reciprocate.
SOULGuidance: Spend time learning how bring balance to relationships
Reflective questions:
Who are the closest people to me?
How does equality/reciprocity present itself in my relationship? Where it doesn’t?

Virgo | The Divine Feminine
Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog topic ~ Virgo Season | Body, Divine Feminine + Yod!
We're a few weeks into the beautiful Virgo Season. It's getting a little chilly here in New York City and a bit darker, but I enjoy it because it's given me time to rest and re-align. Before diving into the connections, I want to discuss in the blog; I'll like to share a few details: Virgo is the 6th zodiac sign and lives between Leo's fires and Libra's sweet-scented air. I imagine Virgo using the fire of Leo to create and Libra's air to incubate ideas and knowledge. The season runs from August 23rd-September 22nd. Aries-Virgo marks the 1st half of life, baby, childhood, and adolescence. In contrast, Libra- Pisces marks adulthood and old souls.
In the Tarot, Virgo corresponds to Key IX, the Hermit. It's the overarching archetype of the seer. An old-bearded seer is holding a lamp illuminating the path for those who follow behind them.
In Astrology, Virgo is mutable-earth (moveable Earth) and relates to the 6th house of the body, health, service, and work. Mercury, the personal planet of commerce, communication, and ideas, is Virgo's ancient ruler.
In Greek Mythology, Virgo is Persephone, the daughter of the Earth goddess Demeter. She’s symbolic of the virgin, soon to be abducted by Hades (God of the Underworld). Hades takes her to the underworld. The story is that Perspheny remains 6 months out of the year in the underworld. During Spring, she rises to Earth for the next 6 months until it’s her time to go back. From my perspective, Persephone loses a part of her Divine Feminine when she’s abducted, but she reclaims it when she’s above ground.
Divine Feminine in Virgo Season
In my analysis, Virgo is a connection of purity, body + mind, and changes on Earth. Of course, this came through as I wrote a community newsletter. In the process, I felt a connection between Virgo and the Divine Feminine. When we take the time to connect to the body, however that looks, we find the feminine divine with us. Remembering the divine fem is available to everyone. Everly is changing us as needed, similarly to Earth's constant changing season.
The first step is to be conscious of the physical body by showing signs of care, love, and kindness. Then, the body becomes a vehicle that takes us to a place where we can connect to the old-bearded seer—illuminating our divine self and making adjustments to improve the situations in our life for the better. Secondly, we can connect to the divine by listening to Earth's natural rhythms and sounds, and lastly, dance and work with the pelvic space to upstart our relationship with the divine.
Yod: The little with so much
Yod, or Yud, is a letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. The Aleph-Bet has 22 letters; in Kabbalah, each letter corresponds to a Major Arcana (Archetype) in the Tarot. The Hermit corresponds to Yod, which has a gematria of 10 (value 10). 10 the beginnings and endings. We start at square 1 or end the cycle. Ten is also related to the 10 spheres on the Tree of Life. Beautifully, Yod is the hand of God or the divine. An open hand to the human being.
In the Secrets of the Hebrew Letters, Rabbi Avraham Arieh Trugman mentions that Yud is the beginning of creation - the Big Bang Theory. We grow to become something from that tiny atom. Similarly, the Yud is the little with so much. It's the flame that burns over the candle and in the lamp of the Hermit. Illuminating all within us is essential and gives us the vitality to live. Each of us has so much potential that we cannot see. It’s the little within us that so much! The limitless potential we have to make Earth better. The Divine Feminine is one of those illuminations within us.
This oracle message is for you:
I love every inch of my body. I love the women [people] in my life fiercely -Meggan Watterson
Key IX: The Hermit
May you find your divine and limitless potential this Virgo-Licious season!
