Your Virgo New Moon Voice Note

I almost didn’t hit record. Normally, I would be participating in La Mar and Netta’s Black Joy Friday —an event I love showing up for on the second Friday of every month.

But to be completely transparent with y’all? I was dragging.

I felt so exhausted that I realized I had nothing to give from. I had no Black joy, no extra capacity, and no abundance to pour out.

So I stepped back. And midday, I pulled cards for myself—a ritual I return to when I need a moment of grounding.

What started as a personal check-in clearly came through as a message for the collective . Because if I’m feeling this, I know so many of you are in the exact same spot: needing to conserve your energy, regulate your nervous system, and step away from spaces that take from you without honoring who you are.

The Cards: Reclaiming Worth and Unburdening the System When the 4 of Pentacles came up, it immediately spoke to energy conservation and holding tight to what is precious. On a deeper level, it reflects that somatic reaction we get when our boundaries are tested: that tight, locked-up nervous system feeling where you feel forced to guard yourself, your time, and your worth from places, situations, or people that simply don’t see your value.

Then came the 10 of Wands . Look at the stance in this card: bent over, struggling to carry ten heavy wands alone, moving inefficiently, completely overwhelmed.

This is what happens when we refuse to pull back from environments that drain us. We end up over-functioning, holding up dynamics single-handedly, and carrying burdens we were never meant to bear.

The combined message of these two cards is unmistakable: We must conserve our energy and pull back from what depletes us so we can direct that energy toward true expansion, new ideas, and real wealth. You do not have to stay in spaces where you feel compelled to constantly defend or hoard your capacity.

Stepping away, dropping the extra wands, and releasing what doesn’t honor your worth isn’t giving up—it’s protecting your core power. The Shift: Pleasure as the Engine for Abundance The advice card bringing it all together was The Fool .

The Fool represents pure potential, trust, spontaneity, optimism, and unburdened new beginnings. It’s the permission to step onto a fresh path without dragging old weight behind you.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it: Pleasure is the engine for abundance. As adults, we default to prioritizing the structured, heavy, and demanding tasks while treating joy like a luxury we have to earn.

But when your nervous system is constantly dysregulated and locked in defense mode, your sacral chakra—the energy center of flow, creation, and joy—gets blocked. You cannot receive abundance when you’re constantly braced for impact.

Stepping back to refuel and prioritize your own pleasure isn’t selfish; it’s the practical fuel you need to apply back toward the things that truly matter. Your Virgo New Moon Audit: Protect Your System Virgo energy naturally calls for auditing, decluttering, and practical organizing.

But this moon, I’m challenging you to audit your nervous system and pleasure meters : * Where are you guarding your energy? Identify the environments, obligations, or people that make you feel tight, defensive, or guarded. * What wands can you lay down?

Where are you trying to do everything yourself or sustain something that doesn’t see your worth? * Where is the space for pure play? How can you open up room for unearned pleasure and genuine rest this week?

If your tank is low, consider this your official collective call to action to pull back, refuel, and protect your peace. Weekend Energy As we navigate this Virgo New Moon, remember that a beautiful Libra Moon carries us through the weekend.

Use this Venusian energy to realign your values, sink into beauty, indulge in comfort, and restore your spirit without guilt. Conserve your energy.

Honor your value. Step back from the noise and let yourself be The Fool.
