| September newsletter lands with the Virgo New Moon on August 23rd, the seconds new moon of the season, a rare Black Moon. With no moonlight it’s a perfect time for stargazing, setting intentions and planting seeds for the month ahead. 🌑 |
| A warm welcome ~ Tuning Into September 2025 |
| “The beauty of September lies in its quiet invitation, to slow down, to listen, and to let the earth guide us gently inward.” |
 |
| As the golden light of late summer softens and the days begin to balance, we find ourselves moving towards the Autumn Equinox on 22nd September, a moment of stillness, symmetry, and reflection. The Equinox invites equilibrium: equal day and night, inhale and exhale, sound and silence. It’s a powerful time to turn inward, to harvest the wisdom of the past high energy months of summer and to begin to soften into the season of letting go, autumn.At this time of gentle transition, nature reminds us to pause, listen and align with the rhythm of release and renewal inviting us to explore the themes of grounding, balance, and surrender as we notice the season, nature and the stillness this month can bring. Plus the Devon lanes becoming less hectic will certainly be welcomed and worth noticing! |
