The dominant Virgo energy in September is urging us all to refocus and reorganize. Use this opportunity to harness that spiritual energy to uncover your purpose fully.
Virgo is a hardworking and enterprising sign that represents attention to detail and a harmony between mind-body and spirit.
It’s also an Earth sign that brings with it a calm groundedness that is welcome after the year we have had so far.
I have always enjoyed using the natural energies of different times of the year to boost my spiritual development work.
September feels like a month that pulls me towards diligence and focus. It encourages me to seek routine and hone in on what best serves my mental and physical health; and in doing so, I end up moving closer to my true purpose.
You too can use this month for diving deep and uncovering your authentic purpose.
That doesn’t mean you should go on an investigative quest to understand what that is; you can use September’s transition energy to be quiet, observe the rhythms of nature, and see how they are reflected in your own life.
As summer draws to a close in the Northern Hemisphere, it feels natural to think carefully about how you spend your days and where your energy is focused.
Wherever you are in the world, September marks a seasonal change. Even in places that don’t appear to have marked seasons, there are always slight changes in weather, be it more rain, a different prevailing wind or clearer, sunnier skies.
Taking time to observe and mirror the seasonal changes allows your instincts to guide you in a gentle way towards seeing your purpose in a clearer light.
I have put together some of my favorite ways to make the most out of the September energies and help you uncover your purpose.
Make a list of ten things that genuinely light you up
Consider what makes you feel happy, joyful, and inspired? What makes you excited about life itself?
Once you have your list, consider how you could include one of these things in your routine every single day.
Don’t get attached to the outcome of what you are doing; simply enjoy the process of it for the sake of it.
Center yourself in nature
Take time to regularly go outside and bring yourself back to center by standing on the Earth, barefoot, if possible. Notice your stance. Do you tend to lean backwards or sway? Is your weight more in your toes, and do you find you are leaning forward?
If you notice that you lean forward, it might be that energetically you are stuck in pushing and striving mode. This energy can keep you from accepting help from the Universe, and it’s a sign that perhaps you need to center yourself and stop trying to control things.
If you find you lean back and your weight is in your heels, it could imply that you are holding back where you could be moving forward. You might be lacking the right frame of mind to make things happen.
You don’t need to judge yourself here, simply realign your body and try to center yourself. Take some deep breaths and try to spread your energy equally out through the bottom of your feet.
My favorite affirmations for September
Affirmations are a fantastic tool to be inspired by to raise your vibration and change your thinking.
I recommend recording yourself reading these affirmations aloud and then listening to them on headphones before you go to bed at night. There is great power in hearing your voice repeating these night after night.
These are some of my favorites, but feel free to create your own:
- I am inspired by my routine.
- I trust in the timing of the Universe.
- Everything that lights me up is part of my purpose.
- I can carry through all my tasks easily to completion.
- I am in perfect harmony with the rhythms of nature.
- I appreciate my life fully and give thanks every day.
- I am intuitive and aware of what the Universe wants to show me.
- When I relax, I am happier and able to live life with more energy.
This September, instead of striving and forcing outcomes, practice gentle observation that can get you further along the path to uncovering your real purpose.
Through re-focusing your energies, you can make way for the kind of vibrational environment that will encourage your true purpose to emerge in your everyday life.
