Hi, Reader —

Happy equinox! 🍂

I hope some of you were able to join us at Morpho Bleu for our fall market and classes. What a beautiful, full few days. These transitional moments are always packed with energy, and it felt like such a good way to channel some of it together.

Fall always brings a little reflection and nostalgia with it, after the presence and spontaneity of summer. And here we are at the start of the season, with a bite in the morning air and the leaves just beginning to turn.

And – cue Neil Young – it’s Harvest Moon week.

A moment to reap what we’ve sown all summer long, as the fruit of the last season begins to fall from the vine. Hello Libra season, pumpkin spice and cozy jackets!

The actual Full Moon arrives on Saturday, but our practice, as always, falls on Thursday at 18h30. I hope you’ll join me – full moons are where we roll out our mats and move that energy.

And first, can we talk about Libra? We finally have air again! The Sun hasn’t been in an air sign all summer long. Maybe you knew that astrologically, and maybe you simply felt it. As Astro Auntie reminds us, it’s the moment when Libra moves our focus from “me” to “we” and we get a little deeper into our relationships, conversation, connection, beauty and balance.

Then Saturday’s Full Moon arrives across the sky in Aries, bringing a little fire into the equation.

Aries and Libra sit opposite one another in the zodiac, and together they ask us to look at the balance between self and other. Libra considers the relationship, the partnership, the space between us. Aries asks: And what do I want? Where am I in all of this?

Something came up in Sunday’s class, too, with Beca that I’ve been thinking about ever since. We were talking about habits, loops and generational patterns, and Beca offered this wonderful question:

Who am I being loyal to? Am I loyal to myself, or to a pattern that doesn’t serve me – which do I choose?

(When you put it that way, it almost feels like a no-brainer.)

These questions feel very relevant under this Full Moon. Where are you staying loyal to an old pattern, expectation or way of being, even when it no longer serves you? Where have you compromised too much, or held back something you know you need to say or do?

This moon gives us a moment to really look at our relationship with ourself and others, and at the places where we may be stuck. Aries reminds us that choosing ourselves can sometimes be the thing that allows us to meet everyone else more honestly, too.

We’ll work all of this out on the mat Thursday evening. No biggie!

I hope you’ll join me – and we, the community – for this one. Everyone registered receives access to the replay, of course. I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Lots of love,
Sara
