Simple Spiritual Low Down: September 2023
We’re in the ‘ber’ months - my favourite time of the year. With that back to school feeling (use code BACK2SCHOOL for 20% off all of my products and services), it feels like the perfect time to tap in to whats happening in the cosmos, so we can check in to see how we’re doing on our path.
BEFORE WE BEGIN - everything I explain is based off my personal relationship and experience. I invite you to explore it all in your own way - and I’m only an email/dm away if you need somebody to talk to.
SEPTEMBER’S MOON PHASES
SEPTEMBER 14TH ✹ VIRGO NEW MOON
The final lunar cycle before eclipse season, held by the Virgin Goddess bring us healing, autonomy and empowerment. Call back your power, set boundaries, dust away what you don’t wish to bring forward. This is the perfect time to create new routines and structures. Forgive yourself for when you didn’t follow a routine, and make something that is enjoyable for you. There is no need to torture yourself.
Despite the unknown and surprises that life, and the planets, give us - affirm yourself that you have everything you need to charge forward.
VIRGO NEW MOON RITUAL
New Moons are great for manifesting. Go inwards and plant the seed. For this new moon ritual, grab your deck and find The Chariot and have it as a guide for this cycle (for those who read, take some time to meditate on the cards behind and in front). If you dont have a deck, find a photo of the card that resonates, and make it your lock screen.
Have the card close, and journal what you think your life would be, if you allowed yourself to completely live in your power.
Feel free to use this questions/prompts however you desire:
✹ Out of 10 how strong do you value yourself, and why?
✹ What does strength mean to you?
✹ Write a letter to your guides/spirits/ancestors asking them to lead you in to your strength & power.
SEPTEMBER 29TH ✹ ARIES FULL MOON
The Full Moon in Aries sprouts the seeds planted in the September New Moon, but also what we were manifesting back in the first quarter on the year. With eclipse season right around the corner, expect to feel the fire within you - and acknowledge it.
Schedule some time to reflect. Find silence, and listen to the whispers.
With similar themes to the New Moon, strength comes back to play with this moon. The asteroid Chiron is super active with this moon, which means something else in the sky is shining on us to show what needs to be healed, and how to channel our authentic strength.
ARIES FULL MOON RITUAL
Reflect, show gratitude. Write a letter of thanks to the universe for everything you’re grateful for. Then write a letter for yourself to open on the next full moon, ask for whatever you want inner guidance on.
This moon is perfect for charging or enchanting crystals/jewellery/tools for strength, warrior energy and protection. Simply place your crystal in a space where you have laid intention for lunar cleansing and charging. You could create sigil to place underneath, or place the item in salt. Alternatively, tune in to your intuition and flow to create your own charging, cleansing and enchanting routine.
Use any crystal or tool that calls to you - I feel that Red Jasper & Carnelian would be the perfect companion.
SEPTEMBER 23RD ✹ LIBRA SEASON
Libra: Balance & Beauty. Libra season starting before the Aries Full Moon will being a light, airy energy to the Earth/Fire Moons we will experience. Expect your taste to alter, for the definition of beauty to change for you, and for parts of your life that aren’t balanced to feel a little uneasy. Pull cards asking whats not balanced in your life, or connect to spirit to see where balance is needed.
September 23rd is also the Autumn Equinox/Mabon, which I shall speak about in an upcoming journal entry.
PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE PART IN ANY RITUAL ON ANY SPECIFIC DAY TO BE SPIRITUAL. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG. LIVE IN YOUR OWN INTENTION AND KNOW THAT YOUR WORTH AS A HUMAN/LIGHT BEING ISN’T DEFINED BY WHAT YOU PRACTICE. DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT, REMEMBER YOU’RE LOVED.
