Your September 2026 Reading: Trust the Transition

[gentle music] The theme for September is corrective experiences.

A corrective experience is a healthier version of an experience that previously might have been chaotic and unhealthy.

During last year's Valentine's Day dinner, my partner asked me if I knew he would be my life partner when we first met.

I did not.

"Then why did you date me?" He asked.

"I knew you would be a corrective experience," I said.

"You don't have a malicious bone in your body.

You are kind, honest, and compassionate.

I wanted to see what it would feel like to date someone like you." In September, you don't have to go into situations or relationships thinking they will last forever.

You do have to search for all the glimmers of hope in your life.

You do have to create moments of peace, flow, beauty, intimacy, and connection.

You do have to find the places that feel tender, challenging, or downright chaotic and create the corrective experiences you need.

If big groups are not your thing, but you yearn to network and make new friends, go to a gathering with the goal of interacting with your new people.

This is a corrective experience.

The more corrective experiences you seek out this month, the more agentic and confident you will become.

You will end the month with proof that things can change because, of course, they can.

Convince yourself that things can be different by doing things differently.

Choose to see yourself in a different light.

So the themes for Many Moons are always really uncanny, and I kind of feel like I was punked by the universe with this one because as I'm recording this, the person who I thought would be my life partner and I, it looks to be that we're getting a divorce.

Now, I'll go on record here.

[laughs] I don't want the divorce.

I wanna try to work things out.

I'm kind of a work things outter kind of person, but I also understand when other people don't have that same inclination as I do.

And so when I was sitting down to record this, I really felt conflicted about being real and reading that part of the intro because it just felt like I was an imposter.

It felt like, how am I a good psychic or a good collective channeler if I didn't even know this year that I was gonna be having a breakup with the love of my life of 15 years we've been together? Essentially, all of the best parts of my life really were with this person and, and honestly because of this person.
