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.

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.

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?

Well this is creepy (or serendipitous, depending on how you look at it). 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.

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! This replay from the Wild Wellness Women's Circle is an opportunity for you to celebrate now too.Lammas invites us all to reflect on the first harvest—both in Nature and in our lives. It asks: What has come to fruition? What still needs tending? And what might be time to let go of?Press play to hear more about...- Honoring grief this time of year even as we hold joy, the tension between opposites and the magic that can result- Reflecting back to Imbolc on Feb 1, seeing what has bloomed and what hasn't- Reasons why we sometimes don't get the harvest we expected, and what to do with that- Slowing to the pace of Nature as much of the animal kingdom is really quiet this time of year in the oppressive heat, and how this can be our permission slip tooWays we can walk together this Summer:Learn about one-on-one guidance here.Let's connect on Instagram or Facebook!Grab any of my Free Resources here.Sign up for a free curiosity call here.

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.

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. In the spirit of staying in the portal, I made you a FREE companion guide for this episode!

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.

No guidebook required, perfectionism not welcome.This isn't your typical tarot tutorial - this is about reclaiming your intuitive authority and remembering that your magic doesn't need perfect conditions, just your willingness to begin.Ready to stop giving your power away and start trusting the wisdom you were born with?

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.

This is my favorite time of year, not for the rituals, but for the work. This is the season when I personally feel the magic intensify, when my senses sharpen, and my spirit awakens.In this episode, I'm taking you into my own practice for the post-equinox season. I'll talk about how I use this time to harvest the spiritual seeds I've sewn throughout the year, reflecting on the lessons learned and the energy spent. This is also when I feel most connected to my ancestors, a time when the veil thins and their presence feels close. I'll share how I honor their energy and how it fuels some of my most powerful workings of the year.This isn't about celebrating the holiday; it's about celebrating the cycle. It's about why the witch's favorite season is often when the light begins to fade, because that is when the real magic begins.
25-Minute Yoga Nidra For Autumn Equinox Welcome. This practice contains breath awareness, a body scan, and a sensing of opposites to help you to acknowledge the Autumn Equinox, a powerful day that symbolizes balance and equality. For it's during this time that both the light of day and the dark of night are equal. It's also a time to give thanks for the bounty of your harvest, both physical and spiritual. It's a time for self-refection and for gratitude for how far you've come, how much you've grown, and what you've learned, while also recognizing what no longer serves you, and taking action steps towards letting go so that you may open the space for new seeds to find root. Here on this channel you can find many other yoga nidra offerings from me. Thank you for listening, I appreciate you.

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.

When Hades abducts Persephone and forces her to marry him in the underworld, Demeter causes the Earth to go barren.

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.
We are quickly approaching the Autumn Equinox, when we'll transition into the dark half of the year. I used to hate the darkness - literally and metaphorically. I especially dreaded Daylight Savings Time. I equated the darkness with depression, and from a spiritual perspective, I used to associate it with evil. On my rewilding journey, I've now come to see it much differently - as a blessing! Darkness can be... the void that births all of creationwhere things grow in the womb and in the soilwhere our roots grow down deepwhere we connect with our inner world and the invisible growth and transformations that matter just as much as, if not more than, what our culture obsesses over in terms of upward, measurable growthTune in to hear more about the Mirror of Mabon to release the fear of darkness and receive its blessings.**I made you a FREE companion guide for this episode!
