Virgo Solar Eclipse//New Moon Sacred Sisters Circle

CIRCLE DETAILS
We will gather this Sunday, September 21st from 3 to 5 pm in Shelburne to honor the Virgo solar eclipse.
The circle is offered on a sliding scale of $11, $22, or $33, with contributions sent to jessica-pashko on Venmo. The exact location will be shared after you register by email.
After circle, you are invited to stay for a community potluck, continuing our time together in the spirit of connection, nourishment, and the turning of the equinox season.
This eclipse is a portal of endings and beginnings, and together we will step through it with intention, courage, and an open heart.

POTLUCK AND THE EQUINOX
After circle, we'll share a potluck meal together as a way to ground and honor the season. The autumn equinox is a day of balance, when light and dark stand equal, marking the shift into the darker half of the year. It's a time of harvest, reflection, and gratitude.
You're welcome to bring something you enjoy-whether that's a favorite dish, fresh fruit, bread, honey, or even something simple from the store. The gift is in the sharing, not in pertection.
Joining the potluck is optional. The circle is the heart of our gathering. The meal is simply another way to celebrate abundance, reciprocity, and the nourishment of community.

WHY WE CIRCLE
Moon circles are a place to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
They're a reminder that we're not meant to move through life alone.
In circle, we honor the cycles of the Moon, share what's on our hearts,
and create space for both release and renewal.
It's community, it's ritual, and it's magic in its simplest form.

SOLAR ECLIPSE ENERGY
Twice a year, the lunar nodes align with the path of the sun to bring us eclipse season. A new moon during eclipse season puts the moon directly inbetween the earth and the sun, blocking the light of the sun and sending the Earth into darkness.
This is a powerful symbol of embracing transformation within us and in the world around us as we shift from one way of thinking and being in the world and into the next. It's a time of sudden shifts, when hidden shadows are brought in to the light and truths can no longer be turned away from.

VIRGO ENERGY
This is the second new moon in Virgo of the season, an incredibly rare occurrence. The two Virgo New Moons bookmarked the season, starting us off fresh and focused in the first degree and finishing off wise and integrated in the last degree.
The energy of Virgo is an opportunity to examine our relationship with perfectionism and control. This eclipse in Virgo is giving us the opportunity to see with clarity the steps we need to take to call in our best possible realities, while staying grounded and grateful in the present moment.
