September’s Elemental Medicine
What is this Elemental Medicine business?
Thank you for asking me that question! Elemental Medicine is a revamped offering of mine, it is an oracle card forecast that seeks to answer the question, “What medicine do I need to navigate the month ahead?” The Elemental part of the medicine speaks to the various zodiac signs (Earth, Water, Fire, and Air). Each month, I’ll be pulling a card for each of the four elements and channeling a message for them. If you’re subscribed to my mailing list, you already have this in your inbox right now! I do offer a more detailed Monthly Medicine for all 12 (tropical) zodiac signs for $5. You can get your pdf of that here. All members of my private group, The Lavender Field, get the Monthly Medicine as part of their membership. You can join the Lavender Field here.
Deck Used: The Spirit Animal Oracle
Earth Signs (Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus)
Otter Spirit
Welcome to September, Earth Signs! This month, your Elemental Medicine comes in the form of the Otter Spirit, in the upright position. The energy of the Otter Spirit brings the reminder that you are never alone. Not in an ominous way but in a comforting way lol. Just because life is currently challenging doesn’t mean there are no remedies for it. Remember the friends who would gladly hold you up when your legs are too tired. Do not fall into the trap of isolation when what you really need right now is community. Use your words and spend time with the people you love, who love you too. Life feels like it is worth living after a few hours with your chosen family, so go do that! Just because you may feel alone right now, doesn’t mean you are actually alone, Dear Earth Signs. Go hug your friends and get some hugs, right now.
Air Signs (Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini)
Mouse Spirit
Welcome to September, Dear Air Signs! This month, your Elemental Medicine arrives in the form of the Mouse Spirit in the upright position. Mouse Spirit brings the reminder to “tend to the small things.” In the eagerness to meet your goals and pursue your dreams, it is easy to forget the importance of clear communication and tending to the small things, including the nudge of your intuition that says, “this doesn’t feel right.” Take your time to sniff out what you need to know. Are there some details or nuances about how you engage others or operate in the world that are important, but you dismissed them as, “not that big of a deal”? Mouse Spirit reminds you that what seems small and insignificant may be more powerful and important than you think, so look again. Cut twice and measure once, as it were, this month. Make sure that you are not neglecting the mundane and small tasks because they have real impact on your life, Dear Air Signs. I know Air Signs like to spend time in the sky but focus those eyes on the fine details this month, it matters.
Water Signs (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio)
Wasp Spirit
Welcome to September, Water Signs! This month, your Elemental Medicine comes in the form of the Wasp Spirit. Wasp Spirit says, “Sometimes, life stings.” Wasps keep insect populations down, supporting the growth of plants. So, too, the sting of life may hurt and you may feel disappointed or even resentful at this Medicine, but please trust that something good is in fact on the way. The Human Experience is one that is laced with challenges, and sometimes those lumps and bumps can feel like a needlessly cruel joke. Please know that you are not being battered around for no reason. The stings we experience are just a part of life. Think of the times in which a closed door was actually the start of a better answered prayer? Or when you find out that the thing you thought you wanted was a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Reflect on the times when a detour was ultimately for your highest good and embrace the medicine of the Wasp Spirit, Dear Water Signs.
Fire Signs (Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo)
Horse Spirit
Welcome to September, Fire Signs! This month, your Elemental Medicine comes in the form of the Horse Spirit, in the upright position. The Horse Spirit says, “Freedom is yours.” No matter your current circumstances, you have free will and choices that can take you far away to a better place, a better situation, and a better state of being. “You are not a tree, you can move.” Remember that you are not powerless. You are capable of making choices that impact the outcome of your life. You have the support of your benevolent ancestors, your guides, and even your human friends and family to support you. Do not let decision paralysis keep you stuck in a place you’d rather leave, Dear Fire Signs. Remember that you are free to make new choices and forge new paths. Isn’t that amazing? Walk a new path this month.
with much love and in the Spirit of further, faster, stronger, and sillier:
