My dear readers, we have entered the ninth month of 2025! My Divine number is 9, and I felt this month’s post should focus on the concept of soul sovereignty. Since the end of June I’ve been doing my best to navigate through extremely turbulent energy in my personal and professional life. It’s time for me to stand in my power, on my own, and practice what I’ve been writing about since the inception of Emotional Musings. Self-love, acceptance, and grounding. These three actions help me to care for my heart while I mourn the losses of what was and what no longer is. The ability to stay connected to my inner authority without the need for external validation or influence is challenging at times since my confidence has taken a hit. I vacillate through sadness, anger, and fear, which are natural responses to this stage of grief.
September’s energy is packing a punch as the eclipse energies open us to what needs to transition in terms of endings and what is beginning. This month will end very differently from how it will begin. We are entering a magical portal that will totally change the way we experience life. The first is a total lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 7th, followed by a solar eclipse in Virgo on the 21st. A lunar reversal cycle begins after the second Virgo New Moon during the solar eclipse on the 21st. Saturn retrogrades back into Pisces until February 2026, which is clearing out karma, ending soul contracts and focuses on our spiritual growth. Saturn is a cycle breaker, the boss of the planetary influences. It is a “steady as you go” energy, aka the CEO of the spiritual journey. My natal Saturn is at 0 degrees of Virgo. No wonder my world is being completely restructured! The NO’s we receive through Saturn’s parenting will fuel a rebirth in February 2026 once Saturn returns to Aries. Uranus retrogrades in Gemini and moves back into Taurus for the last time, shaking up the Earth with instability while the South Node in Virgo sweeps away old programming. Lastly, the personal planets will all change signs. Personal planets include the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
The poems I’ve channeled this month are all about self reflection, self-worth, trusting my path, and higher self (soul self) by honoring my Divine connection. I’m noticing that amongst all the shifts, my ego voice has gotten much louder, making it more difficult to hear my soul’s voice, which is heard in more of a whispering tone. Being sound sensitive, I use earplugs a lot to focus and concentrate. Discernment is key to the choices I make and which actions I take moving forward. Lots of energetic dust has been kicked up, forcing my system to operate on overdrive. I’m physically purging with the intention to rid my body of stagnant energy. Virgo rules the digestive system. I’ve noticed I’m eating less and needing more time to reset. Maintaining peace and calm, remaining present in my energy field by prioritizing the healing techniques and rituals is more important now than ever. I’m grateful to my spiritual team of angels, beings of light, ancestors, dragons, elementals, and Galactic kin who assist me in the movement and healing of heavy energies that no longer serve my being.
These past two months have felt like one long dark night of the soul. Balancing ego and soul, facing shadows and my inner child wounds that tell me to hide and play small at a time that I intuitively know I need to shine and be free. I keep reminding myself that I can do anything I choose, absolutely nothing but my own mind is holding me back. It’s time to stop punishing myself and act on the dreams I’ve been cultivating for years. I’m reminded of the famous quote by Joan of Arc,”I’m not afraid, I was born for this”. There are many wonderful things unfolding that I will share in next month’s post or perhaps a second post at the end of September. I can feel myself severing from an old outdated identity and the pressure to hold on is finally dissolving. I’m a big picture perspective person who believes life is happening for me. These changes are purposeful and in no way a punishment.
My heart cries in poetic lines as a romance with my beloved shifts to end. There were signs that I didn’t want to see. There was an invisible divide growing wider over time. The process of accepting what is by detaching and letting go to soothe my aching heart begins. Writing is my way through.
I am feeling my way into revelations as they are presented while I lay quietly still in the darkness of my new living space. Healing from a beautiful relationship has taught me so much. A part of me wants to hang on yet I know it is over. Owning my power, knowing my worth, and what I’m deserving of are the treasures that await me on this new adventure of soul sovereignty!
We are birthing the new human, my friends. Our DNA is becoming activated, as we remember the sovereign nature and cosmically align to the truth of our souls. All the answers lay waiting inside. Believing in everything that I am. Brave, fearless, and determined to shine. Everything is temporary. My favorite acronym for hope is “hold on pain ends”. I’ve used this phrase to help motivate me in times of sorrow. Hope is my co-pilot. I trust in the promise of hope because things always have a way of changing if we can just hold on. The pain is my power, it’s motivating me to keep going. The truths are slowly being revealed and setting my spirit free.
Gathering ascension speed from my Sagittarius energies as the archer pulls back her arrow, ready to ascend into higher consciousness and enlightenment. The astrological forecast this month is building an air grand trine between Uranus in Gemini, Mars in Libra, and Pluto in Aquarius. Mars governs our root chakra point. My natal Pluto is in Libra, plus the North Node of Destiny. This new chapter is filled with the light of the stars, hopeful rainbows, and energetically expansive love. My heart is open to receiving abundance born through patience and grace. The truth of my life’s experiences is pointing north towards success in all areas of my life.
For the first time in a long, long while, I’m setting out into life on my own. The last time I felt this way was in 2012 after my divorce. This time I’m putting myself first and focusing all my magic on me. There have been stories created from past experiences that I was allowing to hold me in a place that I have outgrown. I can’t punish myself any longer for what happened in the past. I’ve forgiven myself, again, and I believe it will be a continuing process since healing is cyclical, not linear. It’s time to move into my higher calling as a healer and writer, fully believing my worth and opening to receive abundance from the gifts I was born with. I will prove to myself what I’m capable of. I’m relying on no one but myself. I know I’m never alone. I have a team in spirit behind me!
In terms of my spiritual journey and the desire to connect more deeply with my soul’s sovereign state, September is the month I become empowered by owning where I am in life by the inner authority that guides me. I’m recognizing my connection to the Divine by exercising free will without external influence or validation. This decision to follow Spirit requires I trust my inner guidance and reclaim my personal power by taking responsibility for my spiritual connection by devoting myself more fully to the practices that have saved me time and time again. Sharing the testimony of my journey continues to align me to my authentic self, gifting me a purpose-driven existence.
The descriptions found within this channeled message are what my soul yearns to experience during humanity’s rise in evolution. Believing everything I can dream into being. Truth is all I’m seeing. Love. All is love. And so it is.
