Grounding Ritual for the September New Moon and Eclipse
The new moon is always a time of beginnings, but when it coincides with a solar eclipse the energy can feel even more potent and sometimes destabilizing. The September 21st New Moon in Virgo offers an opportunity to reset routines, focus on health, and plant seeds for sustainable growth. Grounding ensures that your intentions are not scattered by eclipse energy but instead pressed firmly into fertile soil where they can grow strong.
Why Ground for the New Moon? 🌙
Grounding anchors your intentions into the Earth so they can take root. It balances heightened cosmic energy, especially during eclipses, and helps clear stagnant emotional clutter. Think of it as planting seeds: without grounding they scatter, but with grounding they germinate and thrive.
Benefits of Grounding
Grounding restores balance to the root chakra, protects your energy field, and strengthens intuition. It reduces anxiety and fear of the unknown, helps you release old patterns, and connects you to natural rhythms. Physically it calms the nervous system and spiritually it allows your intentions to align with divine timing.

Date and Time: September 21st, 2025 at 12:54 PM PDT
Step 1: Prepare Your Space
Light a candle, dim the lights, and set your crystals and oils nearby. A suggested blend is vetiver, patchouli, and lavender to anchor your senses.
Step 2: Crystal Placement
Black Tourmaline at your feet or in your non-dominant hand for protection and clearing.
Smoky Quartz at your feet or base of your spine for stability and focus.
Green Aventurine over your heart or in your dominant hand to nurture renewal and abundance.
Step 3: Grounding Breath
Close your eyes and breathe slowly. Inhale for four counts, hold for two, exhale for six. Visualize roots extending from your feet deep into the Earth. Feel grounding energy rise through you as your heart glows with renewal.
Step 4: Intention Affirmation
Hold Green Aventurine at your heart and say aloud:
“As this new moon and eclipse open a new cycle, I release what no longer serves me. I am grounded, clear, and aligned with Virgo’s energy of healing and renewal. I plant seeds of abundance, balance, and growth that will flourish in divine timing.”
Give thanks to the Earth and your crystals, then step forward into this new cycle with clarity and peace.
