30 Days of Virgo

The Zohar explains that a person's vessel for receiving energy in the coming year is based on one's actions in Virgo, the month leading up to Rosh Hashanah. In the month of Virgo, there is energy in the cosmos that presents each of us with an opportunity for spiritual cleansing. We can access this energy by spiritually "cleaning house": looking inward, uprooting our negative traits, and working to transform them into positive aspects of ourselves. The ancient kabbalists teach that proactive spiritual work and purification during this month can return us to a state of wholeness, balance, and well being.

The Kabbalah Centre has collected daily messages from Karen, Michael, and Monica Berg to help guide you during each day of Virgo. These quotes are intended to help support your daily process of looking within, aligning your mindset, and cleansing your consciousness to receive the energy of Rosh Hashanah. Take advantage of the energy available throughout the month of Virgo to help support you in this process!
