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

Exemplore: Legendary Viking Sunstone of Myth Might be Common Crystal
It’s an inexpensive, common, and also “magical” stone.
CASSANDRA YORGEYSEP 22, 2023
If you asked the Vikings how they were so good at seafaring navigation they would have told you of a magic “sunstone” and in fact that is exactly what the Norse sagas told scholars who scoured them searching for answers. A magical stone that could find the sun through impenetrable cloud cover didn’t sound like a real thing and certainly wasn’t a property of the gemstone we now call sunstone in modern times

Got lavender? Think outside the potpourri box with these lovely ideas for the kitchen, home, and beauty.
Lavender is a lovely and popular flowering herb. The lavender I grow in my garden is Lavandula angustifolia, also known as English Lavender. The variety I have is called Hidcote, which is a relatively compact lavender with deep purple flowers.

Inner Journey:
ON SADNESS
“Our sadness is an energy we discharge in order to heal. …Sadness is painful. We try to avoid it. Actually discharging sadness releases the energy involved in our emotional pain. To hold it in is to freeze the pain within us. The therapeutic slogan is that grieving is the ‘healing feeling.'”
— John Bradshaw
“To weep is to make less the depth of grief.”
— William Shakespeare
“There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and recovered hope.”
— George Eliot
“Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness.”
— Lao-tzu
“When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left.”
— Sufi epigram

A Note from the Universe
Have you ever just started talking out loud as if you were some future version of yourself explaining what the ride to the top was like? As if you were a mentor sharing insider tips with someone you’re really fond of?
“When I first started out, I had no idea of how I’d get where I am today…” kind of talk? You know, to yourself, in your car, in the shower, dowsing for water?
“But I knew better than to worry about the hows. I knew to simply define what I wanted, in terms of the end result. Visualize, as if it had already occurred. Take action, no matter how futile. And then, when I least expected it, the floodgates burst open…. That’s how I got my first thriving business and a steady income. And then I thought to myself, ‘Whatever did I do to deserve so much?’”
Trust me no one will laugh at you. Especially not when you have financial security for myself and family.

Today’s Tarot: Monday
The Hermit: It might be a busy day, but try to make some time for yourself. Any time you spend meditating or settling your mind will be time well spent. It doesn’t have to be spent sitting around and being idle all day. Staring pensively into that cup of tea for a few moments can be equally beneficial. Calm your mind, and your heart, and make it an at-peace day.
Today’s Tarot; Tuesday
Justice: You might prefer to do most things on your own today, but that may not be permitted. Find ways to involve others and enlist help, or simply let them do their part. Wait until tonight to decompress in private. It’s important to keep an even temper and not let others manipulate you emotionally. Your feelings are being strongly projected, so treat others with tact and avoid anger.
