Tarotscopes for the New Moon in Virgo
Insights for a time of setting intentions, planting seeds, and calling in
I believe the most potent magic we’re afforded is the capacity to heal. That we can resurrect the parts of ourselves we’ve lost in battle, that we can reconstruct and reopen parts of ourselves we thought had burned down to the ground, that we can connect with a heart and soul that trauma once stripped of their magnetic charge — it’s all a miracle. How some numb nerves can start to feel again. How suffering facilitates our fall, traps us in our fracturing — until one fragmented piece of us calls its other fragments home, and by some graceful mercy, they answer. We answer. To ourselves. To each other.
That’s the good news. The more challenging news is the investment it requires. It’s hard, and often painful, and the building can feel like breaking. It calls for sacrificing the ways of being that we’re accustomed to. It calls for ritual: setting intentions and deliberately behaving in support of those intentions — as often as necessary to get it done. It calls for calling out for help. And it is always a prayer: We are promised nothing in these endeavors — what we desire doesn’t always work. We operate on the faith that we are always worth our own effort, worth the incalculable risk of hoping.
