Oracle & Lantern | Vol. VII

🌒Change is in the air…

September carries that liminal hum — not yet the full descent into autumn but already whispering that the light is shifting. Virgo’s discernment meets Libra’s longing for balance, and we stand at a threshold: What will we carry forward with intention, and what do we lay down as the air cools?

This month’s spread honors that moment. It offers a lantern for the path ahead and an oracle to remind us of the threads we’ve already been weaving.

🔮 The Spread: The Turning of September

Card One: The Work of Virgo 🕯️
What requires my attention and refinement right now?

Card Two: The Equinox Weighing ⚖️
What needs balancing as light and dark meet?

Card Three: The Harvest Gift 🌾
What lesson or resource ripens for me this month?

Card Four: The Fallen Leaf 🍂
What can I release to move with greater ease?

Card Five: The Lantern Ahead 🔮
What light guides me into October and beyond?

✍️ Journaling Invitation

• Where do you feel September’s threshold most in your body — breath, bones, or heart?
• Which card’s position stirs a truth you’ve avoided naming?
• How do balance and refinement dance together in your daily life?

🌕 Ritual Nudge

Create a simple Equinox altar: one candle, one stone, one leaf. As you sit before it, draw the spread above. Let the candle witness what Virgo has helped you refine, the stone hold what Libra calls you to balance, and the leaf become your offering of release.

🕯️ Closing Words

The turning months are not just calendar pages — they are lanterns in themselves, asking us to pause, weigh, and remember. September is less about rushing into harvest and more about choosing what is worth harvesting at all. May this spread guide you into discernment, balance, and release as the light shifts.
