As the sun moves into Virgo season (August 23 – September 22), we’re invited to embrace practical magic, self-reflection, and the grounding energy of the Earth. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, thrives on order, clarity, and healing – making this the perfect time to cleanse your energy and set intentional goals. Paired with Lapis Lazuli, a stone of ancient wisdom and truth, this ritual will help you channel Virgo’s meticulous energy while dissolving mental clutter and emotional stagnation.
Lapis Lazuli has been prized since antiquity for its deep celestial blue hue flecked with golden pyrite. Metaphysically, it’s a stone of inner vision, authentic communication, and emotional purification. For Virgo’s analytical mind, Lapis Lazuli helps soften perfectionist tendencies while awakening intuitive clarity. Its energy aligns with the throat and third eye chakras, enhancing self-expression and helping you discern between productive action and overthinking.
Preparing for Your Ritual
You’ll Need:
- Lapis Lazuli stone or jewelry (cleansed with sage or moonlight)
- White candle (symbolizing purity)
- Fresh water or herbal tea (try mint or chamomile)
- Journal and pen
- Optional: Rose Quartz pendant to balance Virgo’s critical nature with compassion
Step-by-Step Purification Ritual
1. Create Sacred Space
Begin by decluttering your physical space – a nod to Virgo’s love for organization. Light the white candle and hold your Lapis Lazuli in your dominant hand. Close your eyes and recite:
“Sacred Lapis, stone of sky and earth,
Cleanse my mind, reveal my worth.
Virgo’s season, pure and true,
Let my highest self shine through.”
2. Invoke Earth and Water Elements
Virgo is an Earth sign, but its mutable quality benefits from water’s fluidity. Place your Lapis Lazuli near the candle and drink slowly from your water or tea. Visualize stagnant energy dissolving as you swallow. For enhanced grounding, wear a Black Rutilated Quartz bracelet during this step, which dispels mental fog and anchors intentions.
3. Journaling with Lapis Lazuli
Place the stone on your third eye (forehead) and breathe deeply for 2 minutes. Then, let your pen flow without censorship. Prompt examples:
- “What habits no longer serve my growth?”
- “How can I balance practicality with self-compassion?”
4. Affirmation & Release
Hold Lapis Lazuli over your throat and declare:
“I release criticism – of self and others.
I speak and act with purposeful clarity.
My healing benefits the Earth and her children.”
Burn or bury the written pages as a symbolic release (safely and ethically).
Maintaining Virgo Season Energy
Carry Lapis Lazuli daily to stay aligned with the ritual’s intentions. Pair it with a Rose Quartz bracelet to maintain Virgo’s healing energy without slipping into self-judgment. For cosmic alignment, consider wearing the Eight Planet Stone Bracelet, which connects Virgo’s earthly nature to celestial rhythms.
Moon Phase Tip:
Revisit this ritual during the Virgo New Moon (August/September) to amplify new beginnings, or during the Full Moon to release outdated routines.
The Alchemy of Lapis and Virgo
In this season of harvest and preparation, Lapis Lazuli becomes a bridge between Virgo’s grounded energy and universal truth. By engaging in this purification practice, you honor Virgo’s highest expression: service through clarity, healing through attention to detail, and growth through loving self-awareness.
May your Virgo season be filled with purposeful strides and the tranquil wisdom of Lapis Lazuli’s starry night sky.
