After a monthlong break, we are back with a new episode! A new month means a new qi forecast, and this episode covers the shift into September through the lens of feng shui, seasonal qi, and the metal element. We explain how autumn’s energy moves toward yin, what the solar terms and moon phases mean for the month, and how to work with change, completion, and letting go. Laura offers a tarot reading for the Holistic Spaces listener community and we share a list of auspicious days for each of the Chinese zodiac animals.
We cover:
-September as a gradual shift into autumn, with yin energy increasing as summer’s yang begins to fade
-The first solar term, White Dew on September 7, signaling cooler mornings, condensation, and the start of the metal season
-The autumnal equinox on September 22, marking the midpoint of autumn, when day and night balance before yin takes over more fully
-The new moon on September 11 supports rest, reflection, and setting intentions around clarity, completion, and release
-The full moon on September 26 is the Harvest Moon, a traditional time for gathering, finishing work, and preparing for colder months.
-September as the month of the rooster in the Chinese calendar
-Auspicious days for each of the zodiac animals, as well as a Po day
-A tarot reading for the Holistic Spaces community
