SEPTEMBER 2025: CUT, TRIM & GROW FORWARD
“The gardener does not cut to punish the plant. They cut to let the light in.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Author & Jungian Psychoanalyst
September opens with the Wood Rooster (Yi You) month (September 7 – October 7) coinciding with a Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7/8 - an exact cosmic portal that invites us to go deep into contemplation and integration. We are now deeper in the second half of the year, and this is where we are asked to slow down, take stock, and truly evaluate how far we have come.
The Wood Rooster brings a sharp, precise energy - think of scissors trimming away excess - and combined with the Yi Si (Wood Snake) year, forms a powerful combination. This is the most metal-heavy time of the year, and metal energy is about precision, integrity, refinement and action!
This month’s energy is not soft — it is direct and activating. You may feel pushed to make decisions you’ve been avoiding, prune unnecessary commitments, and cut through the noise. The message is clear: return to core priorities, clear away the “decorations,” and keep what is essential. September is about scorecards and results — looking at what has worked, what hasn’t, and making adjustments so growth can continue in a healthy direction.
Results are also beginning to fully materialize from what you have been vibrating and working toward since the beginning of the year. For many, the fruits of consistent effort will now show up clearly — enjoy what is good and desired. At the same time, what is misaligned or has grown in a direction that no longer fits will also become obvious, giving you the perfect opportunity to correct, redirect, or prune. This is why the month feels so heightened: with the Yi You (Phoenix) and Yi Si (Serpent) energies coinciding with not just one but two eclipses, transformation is not only possible — it is supercharged.
“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein, Theoretical Physicist
The Total Lunar Eclipse on September 7/8 brings buried emotions to the surface and clears karmic entanglements and misaligned energy, making space for new awareness. Two weeks later, the Partial Solar Eclipse on September 21/22 resets the stage and invites us to step into renewed clarity. This combination of eclipses makes September a transformational month, where alignment energy is heightened and activated — changes happen quickly, but they are clearing the path for what truly matters.
The Wood Rooster’s influence also brings a focus on discipline and discernment. You may find yourself reworking business plans, reorganizing priorities, or restructuring relationships so they better support your future direction. This is a time to act, not just think. Where you apply effort with precision this month, results will follow. September is the month to be conscious, deliberate, and brave enough to cut away what no longer belongs, so that your life’s garden can thrive.
This month’s eclipses and monthly combination are not just celestial events — they are invitations to active participation. If you have been feeling that a big reset is overdue, now is the time to make that move, have the conversation, end what is done, or commit fully to what is true. Trust that what is being trimmed is not punishment, but preparation — so that new growth can take root with strength and clarity. The alignment energy is intense — use it with intention.
“Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought life would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living.” - Rachel Marie Martin, Author & Speaker
August was a month of preparation and deep soul alignment. Our Through The Serpent’s Gate – focused on this year’s special Lionsgate Portal (August 8) opened the month with courage and clarity, setting intentions for the rest of the year. Additionally, expanding our on-ground offerings, we not only had the last of the San Fu Tian workshops on August 9, we also had Ignite The Infinite led by yours truly on August 9-1
We also introduced Tarot: Your Core & You (August 10) — an exploration of the 9 Soul Cards that revealed each participant’s life blueprint. Closing the month, the extra-special Star-Crossed Portal workshop (August 29) — aligned with the 7th of the 7th Lunar Month — helped participants dissolve karmic entanglements and reconnect with pure divine universal love. This paved the way beautifully for the deep karmic resets of September’s eclipse season.
August ended with a special Face Reading programme designed for Period 9. Face Forward on August 30 & 31 brought participants through a powerful process of self-discovery, using facial analysis to uncover patterns and shift personal trajectories, emphasizing critical areas to focus on for Period 9.
This September month, our offerings are designed to help you step right into this powerful alignment energy. We open with ECLIPSE PORTAL OF THE SERPENTINE PHOENIX (September 7), working with the Total Lunar Eclipse to release karmic weight and reset emotional patterns. This workshop is paired with RENEWED HORIZONS (September 21), emphasizing the powerful reset energy afforded by the Solar Eclipse.
Mid-month, we gather for ANCIENT SOUNDS, MODERN RELEASE (September 12) — a vibrational journey using the Six Healing Sounds of Traditional Chinese Medicine to shift stuck energy in the organs and restore balance using updated, interpretative methods. These events are not just workshops — they are living gateways, designed to help you embody the transformation the cosmos is offering you right now. Stay tuned on our social media for more workshops coming up!
The signature experience of this month is PHOENIX & SACRED FLAME (September 27 & 28), a specially-curated workshop to grasp the criticality of the fast-upcoming twin years of 2026/27. These years are rare (once-in-a-lifetime for us) and deeply catalytic — if you’ve been waiting to get fully prepared, do not miss this workshop!
This September month…please do emphasize your inner-work, take time to “clean-up” and get real in terms of the adjustments and actions you need to take.
