September Quotes
“As Summer into Autumn slips
And yet we sooner say
“The Summer” than “the Autumn,” lest
We turn the sun away,
And almost count it an Affront
The presence to concede
Of one however lovely, not
The one that we have loved —
So we evade the charge of Years
On one attempting shy
The Circumvention of the Shaft
Of Life’s Declivity.”
Emily Dickinson, As Summer Into Autumn Slips

Mabon is the time of the autumn equinox, and the harvest is winding down. The fields are nearly bare, because the crops have been stored for the coming winter.

Exemplore: Don’t Throw Away a Cat’s Lost Whiskers. Here’s Why
It’s actually powerful magic.
DIANA LOGANSEP 15, 2023
Cats have long been considered creatures of magic and mystery. Some cultures worshiped them as gods. Others persecuted them alongside witches. Even today, cats are often hated or feared due to their coat color, or old wives’ tales about “stealing the breath of babies.” But they are also he’d up as important familiars by those who love their witchy ways.

Treehugger: How Do Glaciers, Ice Sheets, Sea Ice, and Icebergs Differ?
The decline of global ice is sparking renewed “ice awareness.”
Think snow and ice can’t exist outside of the winter season? Think again.
At any given time and season, various forms of ice—including glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice—cover about 10% of Earth’s land and water surfaces.1 This is a good thing

EarthSky News:Year’s fastest sunsets happen around equinoxes
The September equinox will arrive Saturday (September 23, 2023) at 6:50 UTC. And here’s a little-known equinox phenomenon: the sun sets faster around the time of an equinox. The fastest sunsets (and sunrises) occur at or near the equinoxes. On the other hand, the slowest sunsets (and sunrises) occur at or near the solstices. It’s true whether you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

Inner Journey:
BE WILLING TO REPEAT
“Change is the constant, the signal for rebirth, the egg of the phoenix.”
— Christina Baldwin
Sometimes we repeat the Inner Journey messages in the series. Please guard against saying, “I’ve seen this one — I don’t need to read it again.”
The truth is: we are always changing. Who you are now is different from who you were when you read the message the first time. The circumstances of your life have changed as well. As a result, you may be open to new perspectives this time around.
Our ego is prone to think it knows it all, but life always offers us fresh and new experiences.
“It all depends on how we look at things and not on how they are in themselves.”
— C.G. Jung

A Note from the Universe
It’s not the size of your dreams that determines whether or not they come true, but the size of the actions you take that imply their inevitable arrival.

Today’s Tarot: Wednesday
Temperance: Instinct and impulsive action will cause more trouble than they can solve today, so spend more time reasoning things out and being careful about what you say and do. Asking questions is a good idea. It will get you information you need, and show how thorough, bright, and capable you are. It might take a bit longer, but it will save time and effort in the end.
Today’s Tarot; Thursday
The Judgement: It may be a busy, perhaps chaotic, day but underneath it all will be a prevailing sense of good will. Judgement tells you that people will wish you well and want to help you, no matter how much work they create for you. You may enjoy a cheerful outlook, too, that will last all day and make you productive and popular. Enjoy some good times with people today.
