299. MONTHLY MEDICINE: September is Dissatisfaction

299. MONTHLY MEDICINE: September is Dissatisfaction

Author: Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul September 1, 2025 Duration: 48:09

September isn't likely to be the month we want, but it is the one we need. 

The theme for the month ahead is Dissatisfaction, not necessarily because it is an altogether negative or unacceptable cycle of time, it's just not necessarily tending to our larger desires and concerns. It is a piece of tape for a very large leak -- not ultimately the most ideal tool, but there is medicine in what it's offering. 


Our job this month will be to: 

1. Work with and surrender to the Eclipses, 

2. Align ourselves with the nourishment of the cards we pulled in this reading, and: 

3. Remember that it is a 9/Hermit year. Ultimately completely dissatisfying, if we're seeking linearity, answers to our questions, and insight on what to do next. Slow, spiralic, soft, and ceremonial is the best way to move through this month ahead.
