Podcast appearances and mentions of autumn equinox

What if the old stories still have something to teach us?As we move towards Mabon — the Autumn Equinox and a turning point on the Celtic Wheel of the Year — I've been thinking about what it means to live more in tune with the seasons, rather than simply following the dates on a calendar.So it felt fitting to end this summer's Revisited series with my conversation with Irish mythologist Jen Murphy.We talk about dogs in Irish mythology, the role of the hound as guide and companion, animism, the wisdom held within the seasons, and the Irish concept of dán — our soul's gift or creative destiny.It's a beautiful conversation about mythology, purpose, nature and the ways our dogs can call us back into deeper relationship with the world around us.In this episode, we explore:Dogs and the hound in Irish mythologyThe Celtic Wheel of the Year and seasonal livingAnimism and our relationship with natureMythology as a living practiceDán — the idea of our soul's gift or creative destinyFollowing the breadcrumbs rather than needing to know exactly where they leadAs we cross this seasonal threshold, perhaps it's a good moment to ask: what is ready to be harvested, what are you ready to let go of, and what is calling you towards what comes next?Continue the conversationLearn more from Jen Murphyhttps://celticcreatives.comStart your holistic journeyDownload my free Mystic Dog Mama Nourishment Starter Kit for practical guidance on fresh food, energetics, targeted support, curiosity, and holistic health:https://mysticdogmama.comJoin The Nourished PackContinue the conversation with like-minded dog guardians inside our free community:https://facebook.com/groups/thenourishedpackJoin me for one of my upcoming Cook-Alongs!Saturday 26th September 10am-1pm UK timeSaturday 3rd October 5pm-8pm UK time (12pm ET// 10am MT// 9am PT)Information and booking: https://mysticdogmama.com/upcoming-eventsIf this episode resonated with you…Please consider following the podcast and leaving a rating or review.

What a milestone! It's been three years since the launch of Witchy Woman Walking! And what better way to celebrate than to talk about the wild energy of autumn?! The fall is known for its vibrant beauty, but there's an even deeper magic to be found in the smell of the air, the feel of the wind, and the spicy tastes on your tongue. It's an energy that inspires creativity and unleashes the wild wonder within. As we usher in the autumn equinox, consider the seasonal and elemental shifts that spark your unique brand of wildness. As an added bonus, enjoy a (mid-episode) rainy chat with a very special guest. Happy autumn equinox!  Support the Show & Stay Connected 

Mabon marks the Autumn Equinox, a threshold between light and darkness, abundance and release, growth and the quieter season ahead. For me, it also marks the final episode in my Wheel of the Year series.In this episode of Big Crystal Energy, I'm exploring the history and meaning of Mabon, including why the name itself is much more modern than many people realize. I talk about Mabon as the second harvest, the symbolism of the Autumn Equinox, and what this season can teach us about gratitude, discernment, balance, and recognizing what has already grown in our lives.I also dive into some of my favorite Mabon correspondences, including crystals, herbs, colors, scents, foods, deities, and older harvest folklore. I explore traditions surrounding apples, grapes, bread, harvest celebrations, and the final sheaf of grain, along with the deeper connection between abundance, impermanence, and the approaching darker half of the year. I share a beautiful Mabon ritual written by Raechel Henderson from the 2024 Llewellyn's Sabbats Almanac, centered around gratitude, recognizing your personal harvest, working with Hestia, and turning your blessings into meaningful action.And because I am always going to bring divination into the conversation, I also share some of my favorite seasonal decks, including the Seasons of the Witch: Mabon Oracle, the Seasons of the Witch: Autumn Tarot, and the Mabon journal, along with several simple three-card spreads you can use during the season.More than anything, this episode asks one question:What is your harvest?Not what are you still chasing or what do you still need to accomplish, but what is already here because of the work, energy, love, and intention you have poured into your life?In this episode: The history of Mabon and the Autumn Equinox  Why Mabon is considered the second harvest  Gratitude, balance, discernment, and seasonal transition  Mabon crystals, herbs, foods, colors, scents, and deities  Autumn folklore and older harvest customs  Apples, grain, bread, grapes, and harvest symbolism  A simple Mabon ritual inspired by Llewellyn's Sabbats Almanac Working with Hestia and hearth energy Seasons of the Witch: Mabon OracleSeasons of the Witch: Autumn Tarot Three simple Mabon tarot and oracle spreads  Closing the Wheel of the Year and preparing for Samhain And don't worry, Samhain is still coming. I consider that one of those essential Big Crystal Energy episodes that deserves its own space every season.Until next time, friends, keep bringing your own Big Crystal Energy into the world.Send me any questions or comments you may have and I will answer them on upcoming podcast episodes!! Looking forward to hearing from you!Please message me with any questions or comments. bigcrystalenergypodcast @gmail.com

Written version below.Venus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — I'm keeping the price as it is. I was going to raise it, and then I listened to my intuition, which said no. Start date is October 1st, and Venus stations retrograde on October 3rd — there was a timezone error on my sales page that said the 2nd; the 3rd is correct.I've already started uploading new content to the portal — video guides, aspect breakdowns for the lead-in to the retrograde. And I want to say something I've been sitting with: I called this possibly my last run, and I don't know that's true. It's my favourite thing I do. Things are changing in my life and work, and I don't know exactly what form future iterations will take. But this one — this one — is ready, and I'm genuinely excited about it.Two tiers: the basic Journey at $397 (seven weeks, eight calls, all recorded, full course portal, pre-work videos, slides in colour and black-and-white), and the Dragon Rider add-on (an extra $500) which includes a private 30-minute one-on-one ($175 value), a year's membership in the Spiral Codex community ($600 value, beginning after the class), and a personalized gift I'll mail to you.louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Before We Dive InComing up: Cathy and I are recording on Friday, likely looking at the Aries Full Moon chart alongside the US Sibley chart — the DC chart for the full moon has exactly the same angles as the Sibley. We'll see what that means.Subscribe free on Substack for weekly posts and everything else. Spiral Weave on my website louiseedington.com — $10/month or $90/year.The Week at a GlanceThis is a week of building intensity, heading toward the Aries Full Moon on Saturday September 26th at 12:49pm Eastern. I've done a full separate video on that — go watch it for the depth. The week is the lead-in.The cards open at the end of your tether and build to fire. The astrology opens with a grinding cardinal T-square and builds to a kite configuration pointing at justice and transformation. By Saturday, the pieces come together.Key events:* Equinox — Sun enters 0° Libra — September 22nd* Pholus stations direct at 9° Capricorn — Friday September 25th* Aries Full Moon at 3° — Saturday September 26th at 12:49pm EasternOne note to carry all week: only Venus, the Sun, and Mercury have crossed the South Node and Regulus at 0° Virgo. The rest are still coming. Mars, Jupiter, Juno, Hygieia — all heading there eventually. For now, the direction is set, but the journey is ongoing.The Cards — A First GlanceFrom the Red Seeds Tarot (Linda Hill, Etsy UK) and the Witch Oracle by Angie Sullins: Seven of Torches reversed, King of Torches, Ace of Torches reversed, She of the Invisible Ally.Three fire cards and one water card — and all of them, in their different ways, saying the same thing: the answer is within. The fire is within. The magic is within. The allies you've forgotten about are within.More at the end. But hold that thread.Day by DaySunday, September 20 — Moon in Capricorn. Cardinal T-Square. The Goddess Archetypes Are Screaming.We open the week with the Moon out of bounds in Capricorn — and Pluto also out of bounds, as it will be until early December each year through 2035. More erratic, more beyond the pale, more heightened. The usual advice: more self-care than you think you need, more boundaries, more kindness to yourself.The Moon squares Saturn retrograde (the guide for Capricorn, going back over the structures and rules) and opposes Ceres in Cancer — forming a cardinal T-square at 12°–13°. Cardinals push for action. This T-square is asking, again, loudly: how are our needs being met? How are the people's needs being met? How are the needs of the most vulnerable people being met?The outer expression of this energy keeps showing up in the news. Congress being sent home until November 9th — after the midterms, before Venus and Mercury station direct — while essential legislation is pending. A building in Gaza that had been bombed collapsed further, killing twenty people and trapping nearly a hundred. These are the literal expressions of the Moon opposing Ceres: needs not being met, structures not holding, the people saying enough.Mars in Cancer squares Vesta and Eris — both in Aries, both retrograde. Mars and Eris are siblings in the mythology, and this square is in some ways the two of them working together despite the friction. Mars (assertive drive, protective instincts, cooling its jets in Cancer) squares Eris (the truth-teller for the outsiders, sharply aware of exclusion and hierarchy). Together: there's a push to assert and claim space. And there's a deep fear of being controlled or sidelined. But the square is a cardinal square — initiating. Things have to change, and Mars is moving forward toward them.Mars then opposes Juno — now direct and heading back into Aquarius. The sacred contracts of our collective life are being confronted: none of this is working. We're seeing it everywhere.The Moon opposes Asteroid Lilith — and every goddess archetype in the chart this week seems to be screaming: we need to be heard. The Divine Feminine — not just women, but that whole energy of care, reciprocity, interconnection — needs to be heard.Black Moon Lilith at 25° Sagittarius makes a fire trine to the whole Aries retrograde cluster and to Hygieia and the South Node. The answer is to burn off the old, rise up, create the new. Tune into the spirit of fire — which I experience as the fire of inspiration. That whooshing feeling when something unlocks.The Moon closes the day by trining the Sun (last major Ptolemaic aspect before the full moon, Earth-to-Earth saying we are going to build a more meaningful world) while simultaneously squaring Chiron back in Aries. There is still work to finish. Every one of us is playing a part in building what comes next — in tight community, in broader collectives, in the most private inner work. All of it matters.Jupiter in Leo trines Pallas Athena — the expander meeting the wise strategist and pattern-seer. Strategies to rise up like phoenixes. To lead from the heart rather than from the throne.Monday, September 21 — Moon Into Aquarius. Mercury Opposes Pallas Athena. Hygieia and Hekate.The Moon finishes its Capricorn passage still carrying all those T-square themes, then enters Aquarius at 1:14pm Eastern — the sign of the people, the future, the collective. Things shift slightly: from the weight of structures collapsing to the vision of what we want to build instead.Mercury in Libra opposes Pallas Athena in Aries — big new ideas for justice. New strategies being assembled. In what feels like a surreal indicator of the astrology: Steve Bannon and Bernie Sanders were reported on the same stage (not at the same time) making the same argument: the future of AI must be decided by the people, not the oligarchs. I had to read that twice. Mercury opposing Pallas Athena in the sign of justice, pulling pieces together from unexpected places, finding new strategies to challenge concentrated power.AI is part of this week's conversation. The founders are fighting amongst themselves. Companies are finding that replacing workers with AI is not delivering what was promised. The data centre heat problem remains unsolved. And amid all of it, the argument about who gets to decide the future of this technology — whether it's the few or the many — is getting louder. Hekate has her torch. The way forward is being shown.Hygieia opposes Hekate in this same cluster — holistic, preventative health in all its forms (not just physical; the health of our collective mind and leadership) facing the torchbearer at the crossroads. Which way do we go? Hekate knows. The answers are within.Mercury forms a sextile to Jupiter in Leo — big new ideas, big new plans, a real expansiveness in how we speak and think about what's possible.Tuesday, September 22 — Equinox. Sun Enters 0° Libra. The People Are Rising.The Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring in the Southern — the Sun enters 0° Libra, a world point, beginning a new season and seeding new things.I took a quick look at the equinox chart set for Washington DC, and a few things caught my eye. Venus retrograde is in the 7th house of others and open enemies. The Aries retrograde cluster is in the 12th house of hidden enemies. Uranus is in the 2nd house of values, waking people up to what isn't feeding them. Ceres sits at the base of the chart — the IC, the foundation — and she is saying: this system is not working for the people's needs. Jupiter is moving into the 5th house of joy, creativity, self-expression, and the inner child — people beginning to find that.And the Aquarius Moon is on the cusp of the 11th house — the house of causes, politics, humanitarian concerns, and the collective voice. The Moon is the people. And the people are rising.Happy equinox.The Aquarius Moon meanwhile squares Haumea (regeneration at 2° Scorpio, the exact degree where Venus and the Moon met in their occultation gate), then sextiles Neptune (let go of who you thought you were; step into interconnection), then trines Uranus — ahas, pattern-shifts, those head-explodey moments of seeing things differently. We're going to have quite a few of those this week as we build toward the full moon.The Moon squares Venus in Scorpio — digging into the shared values and power relationships that Venus is about to take us through in her retrograde. Who has power over us? Who have we given our power away to? These are not rhetorical questions this week.Hygieia trines Vesta and Eris — the holistic health of the collective in flowing conversation with the inner flame and the truth-teller. The answers are within. Tune in.The Moon closes the day by conjuncting Pluto — the shadow to the light, the buried treasure beginning to emerge. Pluto and Haumea are heading toward another of their 13 squares (which run 2022–2028), and the Moon is activating that approach. Three more squares after this one. The transformation is not done.Wednesday, September 23 — Moon Opposes Jupiter. Moon Meets Hekate and Chariklo. Moon Into Pisces.The Aquarius Moon opposes Jupiter in Leo — the people looking directly at the expanded king energy and saying: your time is limited. Jupiter is heading toward the South Node in Leo. Leaders, in the astrology world and in the wider world, are being taken down or called to account. Not necessarily the ones we want yet — but the motion is real.The Moon trines Mercury (air to air: the collective mind, speaking out, ideas flowing) and then makes what I find genuinely beautiful: the Moon meets Hekate and Chariklo, both retrograde in Aquarius, both quietly holding space and weaving the new story from the pieces that are simultaneously falling apart and falling into place.The Moon opposes Hygieia — everything heading down the South Node drain that is not for our genuine holistic flourishing, individually and collectively. Circling the drain of what's not working. And the Moon conjuncts the North Node at 29° — still that eclipse charge, still that pull toward the future. Still at the threshold.Change is coming. 29°. The anaretic degree of the liminal space.And at the very end of the day, the Moon enters Pisces — things get very emotional as we build toward the full moon. But also: clouds clearing. The feeling quality of the coming days is going to be intense and also somehow clarifying.Thursday, September 24 — Quiet Build. Lightning Hitting Water.Not a huge number of aspects — a day to let things settle and integrate as the energy builds.The Pisces Moon squares Sedna (adapt; change is coming; mutable signs pressing) then trines Haumea (ready to create from our feelings and our right brain; intuition and balance coming together) and then squares Uranus — and Louise described this perfectly: lightning hitting water. Uranus in Gemini, all those electrical awakenings and flashing ideas, square the Pisces Moon's deep emotionality and flow. Shocking. Potentially beautiful. Possibly a few jarring revelations.The Moon then trines Venus — seeing clearly about values, self-worth, how power has been given away. This is Venus retrograde territory, and we're already starting to feel it from the outside in.Asteroid Lilith squares Vesta — the original equality and the inner flame in friction, both asking the same question from different angles: what are you devoted to at the deepest level of who you are? With Chiron back in Aries, this is about healing the core self — finding the medicine of genuine individuality (not rugged power-over, but power from within) and healing the inner masculine while we're at it.Mercury trines Hekate and Chariklo — the messenger in flowing conversation with the torchbearer and the cosmic doula. The mind is starting to catch up with what the soul already knows.Friday, September 25 — Venus Day. Pholus Stations Direct. The Kite Forms. Sun Enters Libra Season Fully.Pholus stations direct at 9° Capricorn. Nine — the number of endings. Pholus is the Pandora's Box centaur — the lid-comes-off energy, the things that get out that can't be put back in. He has been retrograde in Capricorn for a long time, going back over what has been out of integrity in our institutions and structures. And now he stations direct.More things are going to come out of the box. More revelations about the structures we've been living under. More things that, once seen, cannot be unseen. This station coincides directly with the full moon approaching and the Sun making exact aspects to the basket/cradle planets.The Sun trines Pluto and Uranus, and opposes Neptune exactly — forming a kite in fire and air, with the Aries retrograde cluster as the focal point and Neptune (dissolving the old, birthing the spiritual warrior) as the tail. Big ideas for justice. New people rising up. New alliances forming in unexpected places.The Sun at 3°–4° Libra is now past the equinox and building power in the sign of balance, harmony, and — often forgotten — justice. Libra is also traditionally associated with war (as the scales of battle), and the resistance to injustice is very much Libran at its highest.New lawsuits. New strategies. New coalitions. Some of them surprising.Mercury in Libra opposes Vesta and Eris — speaking up for the inner flame, speaking up for the outsiders. Mercury past 22° Libra means it's now in the territory where Venus will station direct on November 13th. The mercury mind is already walking the ground Venus will return to.Saturday, September 26 — The Aries Full Moon. 12:49pm Eastern.Go and watch the full moon video. It's all there.What I'll say here: the Moon in Pisces makes a water trine to Mars in Cancer (finally cooling its jets, the guardian energy settling into water) before entering Aries at 6:23am Eastern — and look at what it steps into. The whole retrograde Aries pileup. Chiron, Eris, Vesta, Pallas Athena, Saturn, Manwë, Neptune. The Moon as the focal point of this kite, as the people meeting all those planets going within, reviewing, reflecting.The Moon meets Neptune (spiritual warrior; releasing who we thought we were), sextiles Sedna (adapt), sextiles Pluto (transformation), sextiles Uranus (radical awakening) — the mini grand trine activated right at the full moon.Full Moon exact at 12:49pm Eastern at 3° Aries. Fulfillment. Illumination. Something completing.Right after the full moon, the Moon conjuncts Manwë — the Law of Grace. Spontaneous resolution through internal alignment and correct action. Without external intervention. This is what the class does: guide you to take that self-directed, inner journey.Then the Moon squares Pholus — facing what we see as the lid comes off, some people extending more grace to each other than before.And one date to hold: Venus and Mercury station direct on November 13th. Congress is due back on November 9th — four days before. Mars crosses the South Node the day after that, on November 14th, alongside Jupiter. Watch this space.The Cards in DetailSeven of Torches (Wands), reversed — Lacking Courage:You may start the week feeling this. A lack of faith in yourself. Like it's all too much. Like quitting would be easier. The upright Seven of Torches is I Am Courage — and the reversal doesn't remove the courage. It asks you to look within for it rather than expecting it to come from outside. The fire is in there. It always was.King of Torches — I Am Dynamic:The more you go within — even if you begin the week feeling defeated — the more this dynamism starts to build as the full moon approaches. Things are being ignited. The King of Torches doesn't wait for permission. He knows he carries his fire within him. The full moon is the ignition point.Ace of Torches, reversed — I Am Inspired (from within):The Ace reversed is still the Ace — pure creative fire, the beginning of something. Reversed, the invitation is to find the inspiration within, not to look for the external spark. This is where the three fire cards are pointing together: defeat, then dynamism, then inspiration — all sourced from the interior. This is the Red Seeds Tarot, the deck of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the descent and return. Perfectly placed for the week Venus is about to take us underground.She of the Invisible Ally (Witch Oracle):“There are unseen forces guiding you right now. They rarely let themselves be seen, but that doesn't mean they're not there. While it's true that you often name and number your resources, you forget about the unseen ones. The invisibles are available to you always, but they tend to dwell in the higher places — energies of wonder, curiosity, and hope.Petition them. A witch will reach into these energies and swim with them through the cosmos. This is a good time for dreaming and journeying. Take a walk in nature. Seek out a credible plant shaman who can help you access the gifts of the green world. Spend time in the liminal realm with active imagination. Put yourself in the way of magic. Helpful spirits are ready to guide you, and now is the time to summon them to show themselves.”We do exactly this in the Venus Retrograde class — the active imagination, the guided journeys, the liminal realm work. Not coincidentally.And: find your inner dragon.The planets don't make anything happen. Everything is happening within you. Stuff happens, challenges happen — but how you respond to them, and how you work with them, is what matters.You are the cosmos. The invisible ally is you.Summing UpA cardinal T-square pressing on the structures that aren't working. Mars and Eris, siblings, asserting and claiming space. The equinox — a new season, a world point, a chart that says the people are rising. Pholus stationing direct with more things coming out of the box. The fire and air kite forming as the Aries Full Moon approaches. Manwë, the Law of Grace, right after the full moon. And four cards — three of them fire — that move from defeat, through dynamism, to inner inspiration, held by the unseen allies that have never left.Start the week however you need to start it. Look within. Find the fire.It was always there.— LouiseVenus Retrograde: Heroine's Journey — starts October 1st, Venus retrogrades October 3rd. $397 basic Journey; Dragon Rider add-on $500 extra. louiseedington.com/VenusRetrograde2026Cathy and I are recording on Friday — check the channel.

The Autumn Equinox is just around the corner, marking the sacred balance point where day and night are of equal length.

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, we are entering the Fall Season. The Equinox is a time to reflect on the previous season and see what changes we need to make to create more balance in our lives. Whether you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, Mother Mary wanted to share a message and meditation to help you receive the blessings of this seasonal shift.   In this episode, you will experience a healing meditation and message from Mother Mary to help you release what you no longer need and open up to the ever-present blessings of Divine Grace.   I would love to know if this meditation helps you feel blessed and more connected. Please feel free to leave a comment.   Key Learnings: 1)    The Equinox is a time of transition and reflection. It invites us to meditate on 'balance' and address any imbalances we may be experiencing. 2)    The fall season is a time of letting go. While surrender is not always easy, it is an act of great faith. Mother Mary urges us to let go of the stories that hold us back, and takes us through a powerful meditation to do exactly that. 3)    Whatever is happening in your outer circumstances, your heart is beating and your lungs are breathing. Divine Grace is the energy that beats your heart and breathes your lungs. Focus on feeling that Divine Grace more and more every day. "This Equinox, let go of the story that holds you back and give yourself a new story."   Click here to join The Miraculous Woman Membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com  

Bring me the pumpkins, the apples, the candles and ALLLLL the fall magic … because Mabon has arrived! This week on Witchy Work Wishes, we are celebrating the Autumn Equinox and the second harvest ... but we are doing things a little differently this year. Instead of simply talking about what we are harvesting, we are exploring the magic of the season through three places: The Pause, that beautiful moment when light and dark meet in balance. The Threshold, the mysterious space between where we've been and where we're going. The Turn, when we are finally ready to step forward and follow the season toward darker nights, warmer homes, glowing candles and a little more time turned inward.We will talk about liminal spaces, threshold magic, the history of Mabon, and some simple ways to notice the magic that exists in those in-between places we move through every single day.And, of course, I've got some life updates for you too ... including renovations on my 100-year-old farmhouse, changes happening at my own office, backyard cats, and a certain Bear story that seems to keep getting more interesting!So grab your coffee, your tea, your pumpkin spice latte and your notebooks … and come celebrate Mabon 2026 with me.

As we transition into the fall season, you may be feeling the vibes shift as the summer withers away and brings us into the cozy, deeper roots of the Autumnal Equinox (September 22). To help us embrace all the practical magic of the season, we invited professional modern witch Michelle Lewis to the podcast today. A talented writer, channel, and energy expert, Michelle helps us to step into Fall using natural, accessible elements, ideas, and rituals to enjoy this threshold month.Whether it's a kitchen table centerpiece, front porch altar, balance spell, salt sweep, fall crystal assortment, or simmer pot, we hope you can take some of these ideas and use them to truly experience the transition into Fall.Follow Michelle Lewis: https://www.theblessingsbutterfly.com/on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theblessingsbutterflyRead today's article: https://www.theblessingsbutterfly.com/a-witches-guide-to-the-energy-of-september/Michelle's digital grimoire for Mabon: https://www.theblessingsbutterfly.com/product/digital-grimoire-mabon-ritual-guide/ We love talking woo with you!Follow along with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mdmthepod/Join our Facebook group, Multidimensional Moms.For ad inquiries or guest/topic ideas, email us at mdmthepod@gmail.com Buy us a Coffee and help keep the pod going strong! buymeacoffee.com/mdmthepod

Episode #188 gets us ready for celebrating the Autumn Equinox here at the Atomic Hearth!

It's a time when day and night are equal length, symbolizing balance and harmony. Referred to as the "Witches' Thanksgiving," it's a time to give thanks for the harvest and the abundance in our lives. As the days grow shorter, we reflect on the year so far and prepare for the coming winter months.Did you know? Mabon celebrates the story of Demeter, goddess of grain, agriculture, and fertility, and her daughter Persephone. When Hades abducts Persephone and forces her to marry him in the underworld, Demeter causes the Earth to go barren. Zeus negotiates with Hades to allow Persephone to be free for half the year, so Demeter only allows abundance on Earth half the year.Even though the exact date of the equinox is September 22, we can celebrate this whole season.

Balance isn't a fixed point you reach and hold on to. It's a breath a moment of equilibrium, before the shift.In this solo episode, Eileen explores the autumn equinox through Celtic history, the Wheel of the Year, the magic of the Harvest Moon, and a reframe of balance that might change how you carry it in your body. As the light and dark pause in ta moment of equality before the Wheel tips toward the dark half of the year, there's wisdom in this moment for us.In this episode:Why the autumn equinox is called a quarter day, and how it differs from the cross-quarter fire festivalsThe word Mabon: where it actually comes from, why Eileen doesn't use it, and why it's completely fine if you doThe three harvest festivals of the Wheel of the Year and where autumn equinox sits among themThe Harvest Moon: why it's called thatThe luteal phase parallel: how the body turns inward in autumn just as it does in the second half of the menstrual cycleWhy the common understanding of balance as a fixed equilibrium point is both appealing and impossibleWhere in your life things may have gotten rigid or out of alignment, and what this season is asking you to release"There is a day where the light and the dark are exactly equal — but it's one day among 365. It's a breath, and then it tips again."Get on the waitlist for Unleash Your Inner WitchJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email

September is here—and after the big shifts of August, it's time to integrate, recalibrate, and pay attention to what's becoming clearer.Intuitive astrologer and cosmic translator Stevie Calista is back to break down the energy of September 2026 and, most importantly, how to actually work with it.The first week of September is one to watch. Jupiter and Saturn are working together to support growth, creativity, and putting energy back into yourself. At the same time, Mars squares Saturn on September 1, asking: What action needs to change because what you've been doing isn't working anymore?Then September 10 brings a major energetic shift with a Virgo New Moon, Venus moving into Scorpio, Mercury entering Libra, and Uranus stationing retrograde. Stevie shares why grounding, slowing down, and practicing discernment will be especially important.Plus, we get into the Autumn Equinox, the emotional Aries Full Moon on September 26, and why the end of the month may finally bring a little more fun, play, and creative fire.Consider September your invitation to integrate before you accelerate.IN THIS EPISODEWhy September is a month for integration and clarityWhat to watch during the first week of SeptemberThe major energetic shift happening September 10Why discernment is your September superpowerHow to work with the Aries Full MoonWhat Mars moving into Leo means for the weeks aheadMORE FROM STEVIE CALISTAVisit steviecalista.com to learn more about Stevie, her astrology readings and latest offerings.Subscribe to Stevie on Substack: @farmhousemoonFollow Stevie on Instagram @farmhousemoon Visit seekingcentercommunity.com for more with Robyn + Karen and many of the guides on Seeking Center: The Podcast.

On this episode, Luca discusses his book, Lacan in Italy: Clinic, Politics, Aesthetics (2025), which explores the reception and impact of Lacanian psychoanalysis in Italy.

He highlights the mainstreaming of psychoanalysis in Italy, its public discourse, and the contributions of Italian Lacanians like Massimo Recalcati. Luca emphasizes the transformative power of psychoanalysis, its integration into medical education, and shares his own personal journey.

Join me as we explore the Sturgeon Moon, from its connection to the ancient, prehistoric sturgeon fish to some of the other names associated with this full moon including the Hungry Ghost Moon. We will delve into the spiritual themes and symbolism surrounding this moon alongside the flowers, trees, herbs and crystals traditionally connected to its energy. We will also explore some of the fae beings linked to water and this time of year including the Nereids, discovering who they are and the mythology surrounding them. From there we will look at ways you might work with the Sturgeon Moon within your own life and witchcraft practice particularly around themes of reflection, legacy, abundance and what you wish to carry forward into the seasons ahead. To finish I share a River Stone Ritual by The Peculiar Brunette along with a collection of journaling prompts and a Tarot or oracle spread to help you connect more deeply with the energy of the Sturgeon Moon. River Stone Ritual - https://www.thepeculiarbrunette.com/august-sturgeon-moon-spiritual-meaning/?utm_source=Pinterest&utm_medium=organic The song referenced is Thank You by Alanis Morisette (I didn't even give the song title properly! Sorry I was on a tangent) ;-) Prayer to the Sturgeon Moon by The White Witch Parlour  ‘I call to the energies of the sturgeon moon, I give thanks for the warmth and abundant crops that summer brought but now I shall begin the preparation for winter, as the battle between light and dark begins, I find my own balance within. I pray the moon heal and calm my emotions for the month to come. As I open my heart to the flow of the universe and the lessons I may need to learn'  Journal Prompts referenced - What am I building in my life right now, and does it reflect the person I truly want to become?What have the experiences of this past season taught me about myself? What am I ready to leave behind as I begin moving towards the next season of my life? Which parts of myself have I previously tried to soften, hide or make smaller — and what would it look like to fully honour them instead? What traditions, practices, relationships or ways of living feel worthy of carrying forward with me? What do I hope will exist because I was here — through the love I gave, the knowledge I shared, the things I created or the people whose lives I touched? Tarot/oracle prompts - What has this season taught me? The wisdom, lesson or truth that has emerged through your recent experiences. What am I ready to leave behind?A pattern, attachment, belief, habit or version of yourself that has reached its natural ending. What am I being asked to carry forward? The quality, gift, practice, relationship or intention that will help shape the next season of your life. What am I building that will outlive this moment? A glimpse into the legacy you are creating through your choices, creativity, relationships or the way you move through the world.

Our episode this week is a breakdown of our thoughts on the first third of ACOMAF….including discussions on the Weaver and the Bone Carver. Of course, the website and insta updates came AFTER we recorded yesterday. We also have some unhinged thoughts on that Autumn Equinox festivities guide…

In this episode of The White Witch Podcast we step into the woods of August to explore two powerful allies of witchcraft, mythology and folklore - Bay and the Wild Boar. We begin with Bay a plant long associated with prophecy, protection, purification and victory. We explore the many ways Bay can be incorporated into your craft, from cleansing and divination to protection and banishing before following its mythological threads through Circe, Apollo and Daphne and into the sacred world of the Priestesses of Delphi. We also work with Bay practically finishing this section with a simple banishing spell using its leaves - ritual can be found here - https://witchesofthecraft.com/tag/bay-leaf/ Then we travel deeper into the ancient forest to meet the Wild Boar, a creature whose image appears again and again across European mythology as a symbol of ferocity, courage, sovereignty, abundance, protection and the mysteries of the Otherworld. We follow the boar through the story of Odysseus before travelling north into Norse cosmology and its connections with Freyr and Freyja including the golden boar Gullinbursti and Freyja's companion Hildisvíni. We visit the great hall of Valhalla where the fallen warriors feast upon the endlessly renewed cosmic boar and explore the animal's possible connections with the earth and mother goddess Nerthus. From there we wander through continental and British folklore, meeting the boar god Moccus, seasonal customs such as the Jouluporsas and the animal's importance within Celtic and Druidic traditions. We explore its links with warriors, death, the afterlife and the Otherworld alongside stories involving Merlin, the Devil, Cerridwen, Manannán mac Lir and the great boar hunt found within the Welsh tale of Culhwch and Olwen. We also venture into Greek mythology with Heracles and the Erymanthian Boar before looking at what the Wild Boar may represent spiritually when it appears within our own lives, dreams or practice. Our book review this month is Circe by Madeline Miller. We finish the episode with a collection of journal prompts inspired by The Odyssey inviting you to consider your own journeys, trials, transformations and homecomings. The journal prompts came from the Instagram page - @the_edit_experience_ What song do your sirens sing? What bow can only you string? What is your Troy? What is your Calypso? What is your Ithaca? Why can't you go back there? Can you forgive yourself for the last seven years? Can you accept yourself? So light a candle, gather your Bay leaves, and come with me into the old woods — where gods, witches, warriors and wild creatures are never quite as far away as they seem.

I made you a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE companion guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for this episode! This FREE instant access PDF will give you 11 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Lammas (the halfway point between Summer Solstice & Autumn Equinox) + 8 journal prompts to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this season. ⁠⁠Download it now!⁠⁠⁠After the Summer Solstice, we officially entered the Dark Half of the Year, though it probably didn't feel like it. Subtly we started waning in hours of sunlight each day, and as we approach the Autumn Equinox, it'll grow more and more noticeable. Lammas, also known as Lughnasadh, is a festival often celebrated on August 1st, marking the halfway point between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, as well as the first harvest of the wheel of the year. Lughnasadh is the old Irish name for the festival - and the old spelling too. Fun fact: Lúnasa is actually the Irish word for August! Lammas is the more English Anglo-Saxon name.It's not too late to celebrate! Lammas is not just one day, but a portal, a Season. Time is hyperlocal, and traditions vary. While some celebrate on August 1, some celebrated much earlier on "Lunar Lammas" with the 8th Full Moon after the Winter Solstice, which fell on July 29. "Solar Lammas" is on August 6 this week!

It's a time where Nature is modeling for us the themes of gratitude and abundance, harvest and reaping, transformation and sacrifice, community and sharing, and reflection and planning.Did you know?The word Lammas actually comes from the Old English "loaf mass." People baked a loaf of bread from their first harvest and brought it to the church to be blessed. This bread was believed to have healing and protective properties, so they placed it in the corners of their homes and barns for protection and blessing.Even though the exact date is August 1, we can celebrate this whole season. In this episode, you'll learn...the origins, history, and symbolism of Lammas what Nature is modeling for us physically, spiritually, and energetically, and how we can align 11 easy and enjoyable ways to celebrate Lammas 8 journal prompt themes to help you reflect and process the inspiration of this seasonRelated episodes:-229.

 First Harvest at the ThresholdWe have been building toward this week for a month. Three great cycles named and tracked. Jupiter weaving through all three. The Sun following. This week they culminate, not in abstract outer planet contacts alone, but in the most personal luminaries available. The Sun and Moon activating all three great cycles simultaneously at Wednesday's Full Moon.And at the end of the week, the ancient Celtic festival of Lammas arrives, the first harvest. The earth's own wisdom confirming what the sky is saying. Something has been growing. It is time to begin gathering what it has produced.Key Cycles This Week:Monday, July 27: Sun in Leo trines Neptune in Aries and sextiles Uranus in Gemini. Lunar Nodes change signs: North Node enters Aquarius, South Node enters Leo.The Sun opens the week touching two of the three great cycles in flowing alignment. Vision becoming feelable. Sudden clarity about what is genuinely new in how you understand yourself and the world.On the same day the Lunar Nodes shift, an eighteen-month change in the direction of collective evolution. North Node in Aquarius calls the collective toward genuine community, collective intelligence, and the kind of power that arises from interconnection rather than concentrated authority. With Pluto already moving through Aquarius, the North Node arriving here deepens and confirms that direction.South Node in Leo asks what we are integrating and moving beyond, not Leo's genuine gifts of authentic creative expression and open-hearted generosity, but its shadow. The over-reliance on individual performance. The hunger for recognition that substitutes for genuine contribution. The leadership organized around the singular charismatic figure rather than the nourishment of the collective field. Where have I been performing rather than genuinely contributing? That is the South Node question.Wednesday, July 29: Venus in Virgo squares Mars in Gemini. Full Moon at 6 degrees of Aquarius conjunct Pluto, opposing Jupiter in Leo, sextile Neptune in Aries, trine Uranus in Gemini. Venus in Virgo's careful tending meets Mars in Gemini's speed and variety in friction. There may be tension between what you need in order to feel genuinely attended to and what the pace of the moment is actually offering. Name that honestly rather than adapting around it.And then the Full Moon, the culmination of everything this arc has been building toward. The luminaries activating all three great cycles simultaneously. Conjunct Pluto in Aquarius: what is ready to be released and transformed at the root, not only personally but collectively; what systems and inherited structures of power are ready to be genuinely transformed? Sextile Neptune: vision and inspiration present alongside the reckoning, the imaginal field open to what genuinely new collective life might look like. Trine Uranus in Gemini: something that has been building for weeks finds its moment of sudden clear arrival.The Full Moon falling on the newly activated nodal axis, North Node in Aquarius, South Node in Leo, the luminaries holding the direction of collective evolution in their light. This is not only an ending. It is a revelation. Pay attention to what you see. And ask honestly how what is being illuminated wants to be offered in service of the larger web rather than the personal story.Saturday, August 1: Lammas. In the ancient Celtic tradition, Lammas is the festival of first harvest, the midpoint between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox, when the first fruits of the growing season are ready to be gathered. The body knows this threshold even when the mind has forgotten it.The particular quality of this Lammas, held within the nodal shift toward Aquarius, asks a specific question. Not only what has ripened in you, but what has ripened that belongs to the larger field. The first harvest in earth-based tradition was never only personal abundance. It was shared. Brought to the community. Offered in gratitude to the web of life that made the growing possible.Name what has ripened. Hold it with gratitude. And begin asking how it wants to be offered as genuine contribution to the larger web.Larger FrameThe direction confirmed this week is toward Aquarius. Toward genuine community. Toward the collective intelligence that arises when individual gifts are offered in service of the whole rather than hoarded for personal recognition.The breakdown of dominator systems continues. The reckoning is not complete. But something has moved, in you, in the collective field, in the long arc of what is being born. An elder perspective does not require the completion of the transformation to recognize the reality of the harvest.Name what has ripened. Ask how it wants to serve. Trust the arc, even from inside it, even when its end is not yet visible.Reflection QuestionsAs the Lunar Nodes shift into Aquarius and Leo, where is the invitation to move from performing your gifts toward genuinely offering them in service of something larger than the personal story?What is the Full Moon illuminating that has been quietly present but not yet fully seen?At Lammas, what is the first fruit of your own long growing during this threshold time, and how does it want to be shared rather than kept?Podcast poem: For the Artist at the Start of the Day by John O'DonohueIf the depth of these cycles is stirring something in you, a desire for grounded support in understanding how they are moving through your own unique chart, I offer astrology sessions designed for exactly that.You can find the link to schedule under "What's Open Now" at my website  ontheedgesofchange.com.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.comThis episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

There's a version of you that's already over. You can feel it in the quiet dread of playing a role that stopped fitting somewhere along the way. What you haven't done yet is give it a proper ending.In this sixth episode of The Soul's Eight Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS takes you inside West Kennet Long Barrow — a 5,000-year-old Neolithic chamber in the English countryside — to explore the Autumn Equinox, the Celtic threshold of release. Through the story of Helen, a professor who spent two years carrying a devastating institutional betrayal entirely alone, Nina traces what becomes possible when you finally set down an identity that's already run its course. Drawing on Thomas Merton's theology of the true self and false self, somatic body wisdom, and the rhythms of autumn itself, this episode offers a grounded path from exhausted performance to genuine, recovered selfhood.What You'll Learn:The somatic signals your body sends when an identity has expired — and why the tiredness you feel isn't physical What Thomas Merton's theology of the true self reveals about which roles actually belong to you and which are performances you've been maintaining out of fearHow mature, conscious release differs from clinging to what's expired or letting go in a panic — and what it feels like when grief and freedom arrive togetherA 5-minute practice for releasing the false self and returning to the true self that remains underneathYour Next Steps:ONE SPOT LEFT!

It's the finale of our Wheel of the Year series, we're diving into Mabon aka pagan Friendsgiving and the autumn equinox. We chat about why this sabbat feels like a second, decolonized Thanksgiving: feasting, gratitude, gathering with our people, but without the gross history. We riff on root veggies, delicata squash, Tofurky loyalty, molasses cookies, and apple crisps as actual rituals, not just vibes.We also explore how Mabon is all about balance, slowing down, and abundance that sticks from brown sugar and molasses magic to running in crisp air as moving meditation. Then we get delightfully nerdy about pentacles in the apple core, Persephone's pomegranate seeds, and how pomegranate juice can stand in for blood in spell work.Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

This week's astrology invites deep reflection and spiritual attunement as we cross into the sacred threshold of Samhain—the ancient Celtic festival honoring the ancestors and the unseen realms. The veils are thin now. It's a time to listen between the worlds, to commune with the Mystery, and to release what must die so the new can be born.With Mars and Mercury both journeying through Scorpio, the cosmos calls you to courageously meet transformation. Water trines weave through the week, helping you trust the flow of emotion, intuition, and soul remembrance.Monday, Oct 27 – Mars (Warrior/ess) in Scorpio trines Jupiter (Teacher) in CancerThis harmonious alignment activates emotional courage and purposeful passion. The Scorpio–Cancer flow empowers you to take action rooted in empathy rather than reactivity. There's strength in sensitivity now—an invitation to stand for what truly nurtures and protects life.Reflection Question: Where can you act from fierce compassion rather than defensive control?Wednesday, Oct 29 – Mercury (Storyteller) in Scorpio trines Neptune (Mystic) in Pisces; Mercury enters Sagittarius; Mars (Warrior/ess)) in Scorpio trines Saturn (Responsible One) in PiscesA triple activation of intuition, imagination, and integrity. Early in the day, Mercury's trine to Neptune opens psychic and poetic channels—messages may come through dreams, synchronicities, or ancestors.When Mercury enters Sagittarius, the mind seeks to weave meaning from what has been uncovered in Scorpio's depths.Mars trining Saturn brings form to the mystical, offering the discipline to ground insight into commitment and steady action. Reflection Question: What truth or vision wants to guide your next act of courage?Saturday, Nov 1 – Venus (Relational One) in Libra opposes Chiron (Wounded Healer) in Aries and squares Jupiter (Teacher) in CancerThe heart becomes the alchemical crucible. Venus opposing Chiron illuminates old wounds in love and belonging, while her square to Jupiter expands what's been repressed—sometimes dramatically. Yet this tension opens a doorway to deeper compassion and mutual understanding. Reflection Question: What relationship pattern is asking for healing through honesty and love?Seasonal Portal: Samhain & Día de los Muertos (Oct 31–Nov 1)Samhain marks the cross-quarter point between the Autumn Equinox and the coming Winter Solstice. It is the time of descent—when the veils between seen and unseen thin and ancestors draw near. Ancient traditions teach that the seeds of new life are dreamed in the dark. You may feel called to light candles, offer prayers, or speak the names of your beloved dead. The practice is simple yet profound: remember, release, and renew.Reflection Question: What wisdom from your ancestors or invisible allies is ready to be reclaimed within you?Podcast poem: “Remember” by Joy HarjoClosing Blessing:As the veils thin, may you walk gently between worlds—Listening to what whispers in the dark,Honoring what has ended,And trusting the unseen hands guiding your becoming.Support the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

September 29 is Michaelmas, a day rooted in Celtic harvest traditions that was later woven into the Christian church calendar. As we move deeper into autumn, you might already intuitively and naturally feel the invitation to release, reflect, and reckon—spiritually, emotionally, even financially. That's no coincidence. It was originally a pagan day used for settling debts, honoring harvest cycles, and marking seasonal transitions, but it became associated with the archangel Michael. Even for our ancestors, the Mabon portal continued even after the date of the official equinox.

Y'all, this was magic. Pure magic.We gathered together - over 300 of us - for our Autumn Equinox Sacred Shadow event ritual and we're still feeling the energy from it. In today's episode, you get the full experience: the chakra meditation that had people in tears (the good kind) and the Queen of Swords tarot pull that cut straight through the fog.We talked about shadow work without the scary stuff. We talked about releasing what's not serving you - like leaves falling from a tree - to make room for all that possibility energy. And we got real about self-trust, especially when you're navigating those big life transitions that nobody else understands but you know are exactly right for you.Plus, Team TSE shared their everyday magic tips that keep their rhythm going even when life feels like a revolving hotel door with your luggage stuck on the outside.Pati (who's moving to Mexico solo because her dreams are bigger than other people's expectations), Jenna (our color witch who got on a plane by herself for the first time since she was 18), Naomi (who went from having no agency over her life to becoming the force that makes things happen), and Anna (who's learning that she can't help everybody and that's actually the point).This is what happens when we choose ourselves - we get bold, we get clear, and we remember that our presence on this earthly plane is meaningful and witnessed and worthy.Today is the FINAL day to join us in Holistic Witchery - we start Monday! This six-month journey is where the real transformation happens, y'all. Where you stop reacting to your life and start creating it.And hey, if you're not ready for that level of commitment right now, no worries. Come hang with us in our weekly Stay Magic newsletter - it lands in your inbox every Sunday morning with tarot spreads, rituals, and updates on all the TSE goodness. Plus, head over to our YouTube channel and join the conversation on our Community posts.Because here's the thing: whether you're stuck inside the revolving door or getting whacked by it on the outside, you don't have to navigate this alone.

What worked for You in September 2025? What Didn't Work for You in September?he last week of September (approximately Sept 21-30) acts as a pivot, integrating Shift to Libra Energy: The Sun moved into Libra around September 22nd (Autumn Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere), shifting the collective focus from Virgo's analytical, service-oriented, and detail-driven themes to Libra's focus on balance, relationships, fairness, and aesthetics.Solar Eclipse Integration (Virgo): The week begins with the immediate aftermath and integration of the Partial Solar Eclipse in Virgo (around Sept 21-22). This eclipse emphasized a clean break or fresh start in areas of daily routine, health, work habits, and practical service.Karmic/Psychological Closure (Eclipse Season): September's overall theme was marked by an eclipse season (Lunar Eclipse in Pisces, Solar Eclipse in Virgo), bringing immense pressure for closure, release, and transformation of deep-seated karmic or psychological patterns.Venus in Virgo's Detail Focus: Venus, the planet of love and values, spent the latter part of the month in Virgo, making relationships and financial matters subject to critical analysis, refinement, and service-based expressions of love before moving on.Mars in Scorpio Intensity: Mars, the planet of action and drive, moved into intense Scorpio near the week's start. This marks a shift from a potentially agreeable approach to action to a more deeply focused, strategic, and power-aware drive, especially around shared resources or intimacy (Mars enters Scorpio around Sept 22nd).Mental Shift to Diplomacy: Mercury's movement into diplomatic Libra mid-month meant the final week's communication and thinking favored objectivity, tact, and seeking consensus—a welcome break from the hyper-critical tendencies of Mercury in Virgo earlier in September.Saturn Retrograde's Boundary Review: Saturn in Pisces, still retrograde, kept the pressure on for a final review of personal and emotional boundaries and the structures supporting spiritual or creative pursuits, tying into the water-sign theme of the Lunar Eclipse.Uranus Retrograde's Internal Rebellion: Uranus retrograde (in Gemini) continued to direct energy for internal mental rebellion, illuminating restrictive thought patterns and supporting unconventional ideas, adding a surprise element to the week's conversations.Air Element Grand Trine/Kite: The week featured a powerful configuration (Sun in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius), indicating a flow of innovative thinking, social breakthroughs, and easy movement for ideas and progressive concepts within relationships and community.A Period of Rebalancing: Overall, the last week functioned as a necessary period of rebalancing—shifting from the heavy, deep, release-focused energy of the eclipses and the hard work of Virgo into tCreative Solutions for Holistic HealthcareHealer.comOur program includes: 4 online course modules Monthly webinars with all the latest scienceMy Patriot SupplyDon't Risk Disaster.

Y'all. Day four hit different.We landed hard into the truth that you - yes, you reading this right now - are sacred space. Not someday when you get your life together. Right now, exactly as you are.We did a little self-check-in that probably stung a bit. On a scale of 0 to 2, how are you treating your body as sacred space? Your mind? Your environment? Your actual energy? No judgment here, just awareness.Then we dove into the elements as your daily magic toolkit. Earth when you need grounding. Air when your thoughts are spiraling. Fire for that phoenix-rising transformation energy. Water for tending your inner world.Here's the kicker: your morning coffee can become an abundance potion. Your shower? An energetic cleanse. That walk you take to clear your head? Sacred ritual.The elements are everywhere. You don't need to buy all the crystals and candles. You just need to remember that you are the fifth element. The heart. The power source.Ready to stop playing small? Holistic Witchery doors are open through the weekend and we start Monday. Don't forget to grab our weekly Stay Magic newsletter and come hang with us on YouTube Community.

At the same time, the Sun's entrance into Libra ushers in the balance of the Fall Equinox, reminding us that true harmony requires shadow work, honesty, and devotion.This episode breaks down:The Solar Eclipse in Virgo as a karmic closure and new beginningMars entering Scorpio — power, transformation, shadow work, and rebirthAutumn Equinox — finding balance through truth, not avoidanceCollective themes: endings, hidden truths surfacing, recalibration in relationships, money, and power dynamicsWhether you're new to astrology or deep on your path, this conversation will guide you to navigate the weeks ahead with clarity, courage, and balance.THANK YOU for being here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kamana Coffee Replacement ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠use the code ALIO15 for 15% off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pound Jewelry⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ use the code ALI20 for 20% off⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Earth Archive's Rainforest Serum⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - use the code ALIOFSTEDAL for 11% offUse the code "PODCAST" for 10% off an ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠astrocartography or astrology session with me.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Catori Life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ jewelryThank for you being here.Your presence means the world.

September 22 is the day & 11:19 a.m. is the hour when Fall finally arrives in the Mojave Desert. Add an hour for Nevada and Utah, which both share a little of the Mojave with California and Arizona. While it's still hot on the desert floor, the mountains are cool and the aspens are changing color. Too far from the aspen groves? If you're in the desert, there are Fremont's cottonwoods somewhere near you, and few trees have such fantastic fall colors.

This is a threshold week—Autumn Equinox initiates a new season of balance, while Mars dives into Scorpio and squares Pluto, calling us into deep transformation. The Sun's opposition to Neptune brings dreams and confusions to the surface, but also opens portals of vision. This week asks: how do you align yourself at the edge of change—with clarity, courage, and creative power?Monday, Sept 22: Sun enters Libra (Autumn Equinox)The Equinox turns the wheel—day and night balance. Libra season begins, inviting you to recalibrate your relationships, your sense of justice, and your commitment to harmony. Equinox is always a time of threshold: harvesting what has ripened, releasing what is done. Reflection: Where in your life are you ready to rebalance so that both light and shadow are honored?Mars enters Scorpio (6 weeks)Mars, archetype of the Warrior and Protector, moves into Scorpio. For the next six weeks, energy intensifies. This is a season of penetrating insight, fierce will, and facing what's hidden. Mars in Scorpio fuels both obsession and liberation—it asks you to confront power dynamics, shadow desires, and your capacity for transformation. Reflection: What hidden passion or fear is ready to be faced with courage and clarity?Tuesday, Sept 23: Sun in Libra opposes Neptune in Aries (also trines Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius) The Sun shines a light on Neptune's mists. You may feel unclear, dreamy, or disoriented. But this is also a chance to connect vision and compassion. The Sun also links in harmony to Uranus and Pluto—reminding you that imagination can fuel real change. This is a potent triangle of vision, disruption, and transformation.Reflection: How can you allow your imagination to serve both your personal clarity and the collective good?Wednesday, Sept 24: Mars in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius Mars meets Pluto in a fierce confrontation. This transit can stir up old power struggles, hidden resentments, or collective eruptions. Yet it is also an alchemical forge—where will, shadow, and transformation collide. You are invited to release toxic control and claim authentic empowerment.Reflection: What outdated power pattern in your life is asking to be transmuted into new strength?Looking Ahead-A few major cycles loom on the horizon:Oct 22: Neptune re-enters Pisces, returning us to the dissolving waters of collective dreamwork for the next two decades.Nov 7: Uranus re-enters Taurus, grounding disruption in the material world.Nov 9–28: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius–Scorpio, a three-week journey of reviewing beliefs, truths, and hidden patterns.The Equinox rebalancing this week prepares you for these coming shifts.These upcoming shifts will shape the final months of 2025—so notice the signs already stirring.Podcast poem: Song for Autumn by Mary OliverSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

The air is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, autumn is officially upon us! Mabon, also knows as the Autumn Equinox, is a time to prepare for the darker months to come. With a little intentional planning, the dark half of the year can be a time of thriving rather than simply enduring. What will this season look like for you? Is there healing work that deserves your attention? Maybe a creative project or a learning pursuit is beckoning? After the fall decor has been hung, take some time to explore what's under the surface. As we stroll through the changing woods, consider the preparations that your life requires this Mabon. What am I reading?A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J.

This week I'm diving deep into the energy of the Autumn Equinox, that powerful turning point in the year where day and night stand in perfect balance. I'll be exploring what this shift really means on a spiritual level, how it mirrors the balance we're all searching for in our own lives, and why it's such a potent time for manifestation. From releasing what no longer serves us to celebrating our “harvest” of wins, the equinox is a cosmic reminder that we can align with the cycles of nature to create flow instead of resistance.In this episode, I'll also be sharing how to reset your intentions for the final stretch of the year, the mindset shifts that can help you avoid the seasonal slump, and the rituals, practices, and crystals that will help you embody equinox energy. Think of it as your full seasonal toolkit for grounding, clarity, and renewed motivation, with plenty of inspiration to help you step into this new chapter feeling balanced and aligned!ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS IN 2026 - JUST £22.22 FOR A LIMITED TIME

It's a time when day and night are equal length, symbolizing balance and harmony. Referred to as the "Witches' Thanksgiving," it's a time to give thanks for the harvest and the abundance in our lives. As the days grow shorter, we reflect on the year so far and prepare for the coming winter months.Did you know? Mabon celebrates the story of Demeter, goddess of grain, agriculture, and fertility, and her daughter Persephone. When Hades abducts Persephone and forces her to marry him in the underworld, Demeter causes the Earth to go barren. Zeus negotiates with Hades to allow Persephone to be free for half the year, so Demeter only allows abundance on Earth half the year.Even though the exact date of the equinox is September 22, we can celebrate this whole season.

In this episode, Reiki Master and astrologer, Jane Kreller, explores the astrology of the fall season and what it means for you.On September 22, the Sun enters Libra, marking the Autumn Equinox. Jane reflects on this moment of balance—equal day and night—as an invitation to restore harmony in our lives. This equinox follows two September eclipses (Sept 7 and Sept 21), amplifying themes of endings, beginnings, and fated shifts.Jane shares how each zodiac sign, especially by rising sign, might experience these energies over the coming months:Aries: Adjust health routines and mental/spiritual practices.Taurus: New opportunities in groups, children, and creativity.Gemini: Shifts in career and home life—say yes to growth.Cancer: Inspired to learn, travel, and find deeper meaning.Leo: Focus on finances and shared resources with others.Virgo: Release old patterns; deepen partnerships.Libra: Adjust work routines; address mental and emotional patterns.Scorpio: Align with supportive friends and organizations; focus on creativity.Sagittarius: Transition in career; strengthen family and home life.Capricorn: Re-examine beliefs; focus on communication and close connections.Aquarius: Opportunities in finances; manage shared resources carefully.Pisces: Personal expansion; clarify identity within partnerships.Jane reminds us that balance at the equinox is about letting go of what no longer serves, creating space for growth and harmony.To learn more about your personal astrology or to work with Jane, visit her listing on the Peace Room's website under Peace Partners: www.ThePeaceRoom.love.
