Pick A Card — August 23 New Moon in Virgo
Select one of the three cards above — #46 Root Girl, #52 Straddling Worlds, #51 Stars in the Sky
Welcome to your guidance for the August 23 New Moon in Virgo.
New moons are fantastic times for us to reconnect with our desires and the life we want to manifest. Combine that with the methodical energy of Virgo and it’s a disciplined approach to your own expansion, yes, but also the service you can provide to others and humanity as a whole.
Uniquely, this New Moon is squaring Uranus — the planet of innovation — to disrupt our routines in creative, political, and even technological ways.
Not only that, but this New Moon is welcoming in Eclipse season — which amplifies the energy being sent out and returning to you. Major vibes for the collective!
So, as always, before we get started with the pile selection — I invite you to take three deep breaths.
One of the oracle cards above has a message for you.
Connect with your intuition the best you can.
There are no wrong answers, and this is the most important part of the process.
Whichever card feels right for you, is right for you.
Then when you’re ready, scroll down for your Shaman’s Dream oracle message.

#46: Root Girl
The disowned self, hidden beauty, the need for acceptance and love
Root Girl sits shivering, unclean and naked, at the base of the tree of the Self.
She is unloved, unwanted, and shunned for her deformities. She has no home but is safe burrowing underground to dwell near the deepest roots of this sacred tree.
Who is she to you? Could this urchin be the one part of you that, reintegrated, can lead you to wholeness and true purpose?
This is a part of you, the embodiment of a deeply flawed perception of your failures, manifesting as guilt and shame. When you project envy onto others or any emotion or instinct that you’ve learned to repress or deem unnatural, it’s this homeless child self crying for attention, acceptance, and love.
You want to lash out, ignore it, push it aside, all the while refusing to acknowledge this ugly quality as belonging to you. Ah, but if you would only look into the Root Girl’s eyes and see the beauty and the unmet need, your unmet need, you would realize that this part of you asks for your compassion and understanding.
This part of you was born when you were wounded and were conditioned to believe you’re not whole, that your expression of self is somehow too much or too little.
You may have even inherited this creature from your ancestors.
However this child came to be curled up at the roots of your sacred tree self, it’s time to welcome her into your heart. When you do, everything you’ve been searching for becomes illuminated, and your path lights up with renewed purpose.
When you come to love Root Girl and claim her as your own, accepting her—and your—humanity, she is transformed, just as you are. Then al; manner of magic begins to arrive in abundant form. Look for the beauty.

#52: Straddling Worlds
Being comfortable in two states, wandering between realms, reinvention
When the Straddling Worlds card shows up, it’s an invitation to get used to living with one foot in your old world and one foot in the new.
There is no going back to the way things once were, and what will be is not yet fully here. You must find the delicate balance that can bring you delight as you relish the past and all your memories, along with awe as you glimpse the astonishing and exciting future.
Do not wait for applause. Move on quietly, humbly, invisible to others.
This card brings an invitation to begin not only a new chapter but a new book in your life. Do not break the news to anyone; let people be as surprised as you are as you reinvent yourself. Make sure you are not just a slightly improved and more polished version of a dated and obsolete you.
Birth yourself into someone original. Do not feel like you have to explain yourself or be understood by anyone. Become a mystery even to yourself!
Gaze into the mirror one morning and be pleasantly surprised.
Straddling Worlds invites you to become a true wizard, not one who performs magic tricks but one who has mastered the dance between the visible and the invisible worlds, between the realms of form and formlessness.
You are the birther of new ideas, of original and sustainable ways of being in the world.

#51: Stars in the Sky
Limitless possibility, embracing opportunity
When you look up into the velvety dark blanket of the night sky covering the vast expanse of space, can you count all the stars twinkling above?
Can you imagine that you are only glimpsing a teeny sliver of what is actually there?
This is the domain of limitless possibility, of the never-ending sea of potential that you yourself are made of and have now at your disposal. Your life right now is alive with possibility and needs your clear focus to home in on what avenue of exploration most calls to you.
It’s time to choose and not be distracted by the sheer magnitude of what may be. Be here now. Gather your thoughts and your most cherished dreams. Focus on the brightest star in your neverending sky and take small steps, small movements, toward calling this glittering potential into reality.
If you can imagine this and hold that vision, you will summon all the celestial helpers and guides to aid you in bringing it into fruition.
Keep your focus on the essence of potential, rather than the form of it.
The Universe has its own ideas of how best to serve you and all of us at the same time. Trust this as fact rather than theory, and you ought not act surprised when your dreams come true.
For they surely will, exactly how you need them to.
