I hope everyone is doing well and that life is treating you kindly! The start of September always brings a unique energy—a feeling of both a beginning and an ending. The last lingering heat of summer is starting to give way to the crisp, cool air of fall, and we feel that shift in our own lives, too.
Today, we have a full moon which is a time of completion and gratitude. It's an opportunity to celebrate the harvest of all the things we've been working on, both literally and figuratively. What seeds have you been planting in your own life? What growth are you seeing finally come to fruition?
This full moon also coincides with a powerful total lunar eclipse, which makes this moment even more intense. Eclipses are like cosmic reset buttons, bringing things to a head and asking us to let go of what no longer serves us. It can feel like a deep release, making space for the new. It's a reminder that change, even when it feels challenging, is always leading us toward a more authentic and aligned version of ourselves.
This year, this transition feels especially potent, with the powerful moments of change and release the moon is bringing. These eclipses often bringing things to the surface that we need to let go of so we can step into a new chapter. It's an opportunity to shed old stories, old hurts, and anything that is no longer serving your highest good. It can feel intense, but remember that the universe is always working for your highest good, clearing a path for you to grow and expand. If you want to learn more about the moon's current energies, feel free to check out the following videos:
It was a pretty regular week of pet sitting and the boys being at school, getting back into the regular routine, and so forth. That said, they enjoyed having Monday off for Labor Day. I also ended up going to a huge family get together this weekend (for my aunt's and younger cousin's birthdays). My younger cousin, Addie, was super excited about the gift I gave her, squealing, jumping up and down, and racing around to show everyone her new goodies. It's great to see such genuine joy and to help spread that joy.
Tsuki enjoyed her chill vibes, cozy cat naps, and wild antics and shenanigans like normal. The cooler weather has definitely made her more sleepy and eager to snuggle (and I honestly don't blame her). Tsuki truly knows how embrace all of life, making the most of rest, relaxation, action, and fun. She will play hard but sleep just as hard. People can learn a lot from cats (because we rarely allow ourselves the true rest our bodies need). Life is so much better with Tsuki in it.

This is a potent moment to reflect on what you've harvested and what you're ready to release. Just as the moon is in its fullest, most brilliant phase, this is a time for us to see things clearly. What are you holding onto that is keeping you from your next chapter? What do you need to honor and celebrate about your journey so far?
This powerful full moon and eclipse combo is essentially asking us to clean house. It might feel intense—you might notice old emotions surfacing, clarity arriving suddenly, or the universe giving you a strong nudge to walk away from something that's been weighing you down. Embrace this energy, even if it feels a little messy! True healing and forward momentum require us to face what needs to be released.
So, as you look up at that brilliant moon, take a deep breath. Know that everything being illuminated is meant for your highest growth. This isn't just about endings; it's about making space for extraordinary new beginnings that are aligned with the wiser, truer version of yourself you've been working so hard to become.
As the moon begins to wane, use this time to intentionally let go and make space. Be gentle with yourself during this powerful release, trust the process, and get excited about the clean slate that's arriving. It can feel like a lot, but this shedding is leading you to a more aligned, authentic version of yourself. Trust that the universe is always working in your favor, clearing a path for you to grow and expand. There are so many new beginnings waiting for you just on the other side of this release. Please, take care and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
