A quiet new moon in Virgo, on Saturn's day. In astrology, Virgo is the healer of the zodiac, the one who tends the details, so this dark moon invites us to find the little cracks in the walls of our being and to rest before we rush into the next cycle.

Witness your inhale and exhale. Rest your hands on your heart and let gratitude rise. Notice your color, emerald green, opalescent white, citrine or gold, and breathe it in. Find the stuck places in your low back, shoulders, jaw, knees and feet, and release them with a subtle intention, no effort needed. Sit with your silence under the dark moon. Then plant the seeds you want to grow. If you plant wheat, corn won't grow.

The bowls kept circling back to a peaceful E flat, with a strong G and a B, a bowl that rarely makes an appearance. Even under a dark moon, shine your light.
