🍎 SEPTEMBER 2022 🍎
Sink into your self, your space, and your successes.
As the alluring song of September begins to whisper in my ear, my passionate spirit yearns for the splendor of its promise.
- Peggy Toney Horton
Happy September! Fall weather, come on, babe. We’re waiting!

Lastly, I will be seeing you again tomorrow for a DUNE Deep Dive on pages 100-300. Well, technically 324, as I read to the end of Book One. We’ll be talking sandworms and stillsuits and seeds, oh my! We’ll be chatting about the American obsession with lawns and the current water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi. And of course, we’ll be pondering a slower world after capitalism and how to get there, touching back in with our girl Ursula for some inspiration:
We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art.
- Ursula K. Le Guin
But enough annoucements!
Let’s see what September has in store.
September is connected to the number 9, which can be a sobering energy, but one of great maturity, composure and conviction.
Nine (9) is the number of completion. It denotes the ending of a cycle, wrapping up and letting things go, retreat, reemergence and reward. It both basks in a job well done and remembers that “this too shall pass.”
It’s a mental energy, honoring when hard-won knowledge and study become wisdom. You may find yourself being drawn to intellectual pursuits this month or even that back-to-school energy, regardless of whether or not you enroll in a class. But while 9 is roll up your sleeve energy, it knows that the way to wisdom does not just live in the brain alone. All of that work you did in August to honor your gut and your body’s needs will be important to continue in September. We’re moving forward from that place of embodiment, integrity and care.
The 9s in the Tarot are represented by The Hermit (9) and The Moon (18). The Hermit goes within or away, led by the light of their own lamp, knowing the importance of staying deeply and devotedly present to integrate fully before remerging to share. The Moon offers different and new perspectives and opportunities for reflection. If August was chaotic for you, lean into the Hermit vibes that this month has to offer. Especially when paired with our number for the month, September 2022 calls for space and softness.
