Gem & Mineral Show- Sept 6, 7, 8th

As this podcast goes to air, we are going to the last New Moon of Summer. It’ in the sign of Virgo as we are in Virgo season.

Virgo energy is ruled by Earth, and Virgo season ushers in a period of transition as we move from summer to fall and feel our energy settle and refine. This period gives us a foundation to rest upon as we process the events of the past and future. It allows us to organize our lives after the chaotic burst of energy Leo Season often brings. Virgo Season brings us an opportunity to show up as that person and realize our inherent self-worth. It is a time to let go of self-doubt, perfectionism, and self-criticism as we step into our potential in this lifetime. Virgo’s energy helps us embrace our authentic self realized in Leo Season while accepting it with compassion, forgiveness, and strength.

As we journey through Virgo Season, become aware of the conditions you place on yourself for love and acceptance. What impossible level of perfectionism are you holding yourself to and why? We often feel that we have to be perfect to receive love and be worthy. Over this season, began to teach yourself that you are worthy of love, acceptance, and fulfilled dreams just as you are right now.

This New Moon sets your intentions by embracing all aspects of yourself this season. Purge your consciousness of unworthiness at the beginning of Virgo Season by making a list of all the reasons why you don’t believe you deserve love, belonging, acceptance, or fulfilled dreams. Write unrestricted and break free of the bonds of shame that keep you tied to a life of self-doubt. What don’t you feel you are good enough for? What in your past or present is preventing you from owning your magic and declaring your worth to the Universe?

In today’s episode, I am finally getting a chance to talk about my trip to Sante Fe. When I got back, I had a loss with a dear friend’s death, and everything stopped. I didn’t get a chance to talk about my trip and all that I experienced. I went out there for two reasons, one was to visit a retreat facility.. hint hint .. MAster retreat in 2025. And the other reason was to expeience the Native American Corn Dance. My quest is Kate Jenkins who invited me out there.
