September Crown Straightener 🍎

It's that time again! Laura and Candy are back to straighten their crowns and yours, drawing a single card to illuminate the energies of September 2025.

This month, the deck delivered a powerful and grounding message with the Four of Diamonds: Solid Ground.

Here’s a glimpse into the wisdom that came through:

The Card's Essence: The Four of Diamonds, with its square-like pips, represents home, foundation, and creating a solid, stable space for yourself. It’s a call to find your center amidst the chaos.

September's Energy Forecast: If you thought the whirlwind energy of August was intense, hold on! The team senses that the "spinning plates" and sensory assault will continue into September. From unpredictable weather patterns to a hectic news cycle, external forces will remain chaotic. This card isn't here to stop the storm, but to remind us how to build a sturdy shelter within it.

How to Straighten Your Crown This Month:

• Reclaim Your Rituals: In any new, disruptive, or chaotic situation—be it a back-to-school frenzy, a big move, a vacation hangover, or just the general noise of the world—the quickest way to find your footing is to return to your familiar rituals. That morning walk, your afternoon tea, or watching your favorite show at night aren't indulgences; they are anchors.

• Create Intentional Space: The chaos of social media and the digital world is a given. This month, focus on making your interaction with it intentional. Curate your feed, bookend your scrolling with accounts that bring you joy, and set boundaries for when and how you engage. You can't control the algorithm, but you can control your experience of it.

• Tend to Your Foundation: The apple on the card is a direct symbol of self-care and health. This is a reminder of Maslow's hierarchy of needs—you need a solid physical and emotional foundation to operate from your highest spiritual self. You can't pour from an empty cup. Focus on the basics: shelter, food, rest, and whatever makes your body feel safe and nourished.

• Make a "Rebound" List: When you're in the middle of a panic or anxiety spiral, your capacity to think clearly vanishes. Create a list of 8-10 simple, grounding actions you can take (e.g., a 5-count breath, step outside, drink a glass of water) and keep it on your phone. In a moment of crisis, you won't have to think; you can just look and do.

A Personal Story from Candy: She shared a powerful analogy from her experience during the Asheville floods post Helene, where a complete loss of physical safety severed her connection to her intuition and higher self. It was only upon returning to the "solid ground" of Indiana, surrounded by family, that she could reconnect. This underscores the card's message: our spiritual connection is often a privilege of having a stable base.

The Ultimate Takeaway: September is about building your inner home. Find those touchstones of familiarity, prioritize your fundamental needs, and have your tools ready. By consciously creating your own solid ground, you build the stable platform needed to not only survive the chaos but to thrive within it.

Mentioned in this episode: The Camino de Santiago ("Glamino"), Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and the importance of a comfort-first approach to spiritual work.
