September 2023: Destiny, Enlightenment & Inner Wisdom…

Welcome, September 2023!

This month, we may feel and experience the energies of awakening, destiny, enlightenment, connecting more deeply with our inner wisdom, aspects of aligning our life purpose and soul mission, and a test of our inner strength. You should also be on the lookout for the moments that you feel stuck in past behaviors, especially around “people pleasing” and learning to say “no” to certain things. This will be highlighted more intensely this month as the South Node (Karma/Past Lives) is in focus. September also brings the opportunity to do a deep dive and explore parts of ourselves we haven’t uncovered yet, like true feelings we have perhaps hidden in the past, or for some, the chronic feeling of being unworthy of good in life. Whatever it may be for you personally, Spirit is suggesting that you finally begin to truly explore it.

I have heard that the one constant in life is change. While I have personally come to agree with that statement, it took me years of resisting the potential of change in my own life. While I don’t regret the years I spent in this state of resistance, I have come to see the benefits of simply being in the flow of the Universe and trusting in the timely unfolding of life. Spirit is encouraging all of us to take a moment this month and reflect on the times when we may have been resistant to change. Then notice how that change unfolded for you. You may even be guided to journal about your own personal relationship to change. I remember, years ago, I was so insistent that I wouldn’t change to an Apple phone. At the time I was a hardcore Android girl. It was what I had known for so many years. Finally, when I made the switch, it was truly an amazing experience that simplified my life tremendously. Lean into change as you would lean into faith in unknown times.

This month’s playlist will help invigorate your body, mind, and soul to the full potential of your true personal power. Listening to this playlist will help you energetically process the frequencies of the month in a fun way, as I have added some energy healing and support directly into the music. This month, simply click on “Listen to the September Playlist”, and that will guide you to the Spotify playlist.

With Mercury, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, and Venus in Retrograde, as the month begins, I feel it is safe to say we have officially entered into the twister scene of The Wizard of Oz! As we watch all that we know, all that is familiar fly by us, trying to hold on to it, it seems everything escapes our grasp. The good thing about this is that slowly, over the course of this month, two planets will exit retrograde, Venus on September 3rd, and Mercury on September 15th. However, we aren’t quite ready to fully land in technicolor Oz just yet as on September 4th, Jupiter, the planet of abundance and change, goes retrograde for the next four months.
 
While the beginning of the month may certainly feel chaotic, there is hope to be had by following some key steps to thriving during any retrograde season:
 
Acknowledge the past and really connect with your feelings.
Add some citrus and mint to your every day beverages.
Remain as present as possible.
 
Have faith that soon you will be on the other side and be able to witness the wonders of your own journey.

Here are some other essential things to be on the lookout for this month:
 
September 14th – New Moon in Virgo
 
The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. On this day, the energy brings a level of excitement and a dash of surprise. Neptune and Uranus play a role with this moon. Anticipate checking over details and don’t be afraid to ask questions. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
 
September 23rd – Autumn Equinox in Libra
 
The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.

September 29th – Full Moon, Supermoon in Aries

The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. Love is in the air under this moon phase as Mars and Venus are having enchanting adventures in the sky. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Corn Moon because the corn is harvested around this time of year. This moon is also known as the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the September equinox each year. This is also the last of four supermoons for 2023. The Moon will be near its closest approach to the Earth and may look slightly larger and brighter than usual.
