Sweatpants, Estate Sales, the Eclipse Aftermath and the Ick of Social Media
Description
Eclipse season hit many of us like a cosmic tsunami, bringing unexpected challenges, revelations, and a general sense of unease. If September left you feeling shaken or exhausted, you're certainly not alone. As we collectively emerge from this intense period, we're greeted by the balancing energy of Libra season and the grounding presence of autumn—both offering exactly what we need to recover and reset.
The Queen of Wands appears as our guide this week, reminding us that our confidence and personal power remain intact despite recent turbulence. With her black cat familiar and sunflower symbolism, she represents the perfect balance of feminine strength—connected to nature, comfortable in her authority, and radiantly self-assured. Her appearance suggests that we're moving from chaos into a more centered state where we can access our inner wisdom again.
Libra season invites us to beautify our surroundings, but that doesn't mean breaking the bank. Estate sales offer hidden treasures at fraction of retail prices—from vintage Halloween decorations to quality clothing and home goods. These sustainable alternatives to fast fashion and mass-produced décor allow us to express our style while honoring our budget and the planet. Meanwhile, autumn encourages us to slow down and become more present through simple practices like mindful walks to observe seasonal changes.
For those feeling the drain of social media, consider alternatives to mindless scrolling: keep poetry collections nearby, create mood-boosting playlists, or rediscover hands-on crafts like knitting, drawing, or beadwork. Remember that hobbies don't need to become side hustles or areas of expertise—they can simply be activities that bring joy and presence into your life. As the veil thins and October unfolds, may we all reclaim our Queen of Wands energy and move forward with newfound wisdom from the lessons eclipse season taught us.
