What a strange web we weave throughout our lives, the only creatures in constant transition and turmoil fueled by our ability to remember the past, control ourselves and therefore control the present and with the gift of imagination in order to conceptualize the future. Living in one timeline alone, in an eternal now can be difficult as it is for any creature, but living on three is a strange balancing act belonging to an imaginary circus, as an (emotional) contortionist would. And then comes September. The big tent goes down, the music stops, the bearded lady is ready for a trim and the trapeze artist stands on firm ground.

There is something about September you can feel on an energetic level. It’s a transition a healing and a cleanse, a sort of “never go to bed angry” way of dealing with the year. The summer is slowly dripping away and everything is doing the pre-slumber prep in order to be able to thrive once again come spring. Something happens inside. It feels like a cycle is ending, giving you the courage and stamina to end the things that need to be ended in your own experience. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle seeing no way out, September brings new eyes to the story releasing you from the emotional burdens that obscured your sight until now. Far from the New Year’s resolution energy where we try to fix everything in one go, which usually ends in a crashing failure somewhere mid-January, September holds a more subtle but equally powerful energy of change, of moving on, releasing old habits and dysfunctional connections. This chapter closing does not feel like a sad melancholic ending. It feels like a release and an opportunity to let new things in.

September vibrates in an abundant completion that sounds like “thank you” “and I’ve got more left in me” all at the same time. There will be luck there, there will be twists of fortune, new opportunities and possibilities, insights, clarity, all accompanied by a spike in intuition. You won’t know how to explain why some things are right, but will feel them to be so. From what falls away this September a new life will flourish. Hello September, it’s been a long time friend.
