30 Virgo Solar Eclipse Intentions and Affirmations to Write on Bay Leaves Tonight

Lately, I’ve felt pulled in so many directions. It seems like everything around me has demanded my attention, and somewhere in all of it, I disconnected from myself.

That’s the thing about eclipse season. It shakes things up.

And when life feels this loud, it’s easy to get consumed by what’s happening outside of you and lose touch with your own center.

The Virgo Solar Eclipse brings us back to clarity. It reminds us to realign, to ground ourselves, and to focus on what we can control: our own intentions, actions, and energy. That’s why I love using bay leaves for moments like this.

These rituals don’t require a lot of setup. In fact, you can do one in about ten minutes.

But those ten minutes create a ripple that carries you for weeks. Writing down your intentions gives you anchors to return to, daily reminders that keep you aligned when the world outside feels chaotic.

The Tools You’ll Need

• 5 to 7 bay leaves (I personally use my INTENTION//bay leaves)
• A pen or marker.
• A lighter or matches.
• A fireproof bowl or dish for ashes.
• A candle if you’d like to set the mood.
• Music or sounds that help you feel grounded and focused.

Step 1: The Opening Intention

Take one bay leaf and write your main statement to open the ritual. If you don’t know what to write, use this:
I choose to open myself to the clarity, healing, and alignment this Virgo Solar Eclipse brings.
Burn this bay leaf to begin your ritual.

Step 2: Journal Reflection

Take a few minutes to reflect. Use one of these prompts if you’d like guidance:

1. Where am I ready to bring more clarity and order into my life?
2. What habits or patterns no longer serve me, and what do I want to create instead?
3. How can I show up more fully for myself this season?

Step 3: Choose Your Intentions and Affirmations

Select 5 to 7 statements from the lists below. Write each one on its own bay leaf.

Step 4: Place and Pull

Keep your bay leaves in a jar or on your altar. Use them throughout this cycle. You might burn one in the morning, pull one at random when you need direction, or simply keep them nearby as reminders.
