September New Moon & Fall Equinox: A Time of Renewal and Balance

 

This September is especially powerful, with the New Moon and the Fall Equinox arriving on back-to-back days (September 21 and 22nd). The New Moon is always a time for setting fresh intentions and planting seeds for what you want to grow in the next lunar cycle. It asks us to pause, reflect, and create space for new beginnings.

The Fall Equinox marks the official shift into autumn, a season of balance where day and night are equal in length. It invites us to honor harmony, release what no longer serves us, and align our lives with nature’s rhythm of turning inward and preparing for renewal. Together, these cosmic events provide the perfect opportunity to reset, find balance, and focus on what truly matters.

This is also a powerful time to set long-term goals to “plant seeds” not only for this season but also for the winter and spring ahead. Just as farmers prepare the soil before the quiet months of rest, you can nurture intentions now that will bloom when the days grow longer again.

 Crystals to Work With

  • Labradorite – for transformation and setting intentions with clarity.
  • Citrine – for abundance, joy, and manifesting fresh opportunities.
  • Smoky Quartz – for grounding and releasing old patterns.
  • Moonstone – for connecting to intuition and feminine energy.

Incense & Scents

  • Frankincense – for spiritual clarity and grounding.
  • Cedar – to honor the shift in seasons and bring balance.
  • Sage – for clearing out stagnant energy and making space for new beginnings.
  • Cinnamon – to spark warmth, creativity, and forward momentum.

Journal Prompts

  1. What intentions do I want to set for this new season of my life?
  2. Where in my life do I feel out of balance, and how can I restore harmony?
  3. What am I ready to release as I move into fall?
  4. How do I want to nurture myself as the days grow shorter?
  5. What seeds of change am I planting now that I want to harvest later?

Affirmation

"I honor the balance of light and dark within and around me. I release what no longer serves me and step into this new season with clarity, intention, and harmony."

As we move through this powerful threshold of the New Moon and Fall Equinox, give yourself permission to slow down, reflect, and set clear intentions. This is a sacred moment to release what no longer aligns with you, restore balance, and plant the seeds of your dreams for the months ahead. Trust that the quiet work you do now will blossom in its own divine timing—through the stillness of winter and into the growth of spring.

The Power of One Word: Your Guide to Choosing a Word of the Year for 2026

  As we prepare to welcome 2026, many of us feel the excitement of setting goals, making resolutions, and planning the changes we want to create in our lives. But here is something to consider as you think about the year ahead: You do not need a long list of goals to transform your life. You just need one intentional word. This month, I want to share why choosing a Word of the Year can be one of the most meaningful practices you bring into 2026, and how to select a word that truly supports the version of yourself you are becoming.

It was a season of understanding myself more deeply and gaining clarity about what I truly want. Now I want you to find a word for 2026 and set your intentions around it. Why Choose a Word of the Year Traditional resolutions often fade because they feel overwh...

Encouragement Over Criticism: What Our Kids Really Need

Image
  Last weekend at my son’s soccer tournament, I found myself getting frustrated, not at the refs, not at the coaches, and not even at the players. What really got to me were the parents on the sidelines. By the third game in the tournament, I realized just how much negativity was filling the air. Every mistake was pointed out, every missed opportunity called out, every “should have” voiced loudly. What struck me was how much energy was being spent dissecting every play instead of simply enjoying the game. We won that match, and even made it to the finals, but the chatter on the side lines made it almost impossible to feel the joy of it. In between games, I mentioned this to Marcel that I was more aggravated by the constant criticism than anything happening on the field. I know I too have done this.   Recently, I’ve gone into games frustrated over coaching decisions, already negative before the first whistle. It’s exhausting, to the point where I’ve had to calm myself with me...
