Summary

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.

0:00.0	Welcome to Tarot for the Wild Soul, a podcast that explores the tarot through an inclusive, soul-centered, trauma-informed perspective for growth, healing, and evolution.
0:17.6	I'm your host, Lindsay Mack.
0:20.1	Hello, sweet friends, and welcome back to the podcast. So
0:23.1	delighted and excited to be here with all of you talking about the medicine for the month ahead,
0:30.2	September 2025, which is shocking. I feel like this has been the fastest year I've ever experienced and yet has ground on
0:40.2	to an interminable degree. Like so slow somehow. Okay. We're here to talk about, you know,
0:53.0	a month that, the theme of the month is dissatisfaction,
0:57.2	although not all is lost or bad, and we'll talk about that.
1:01.9	But I almost named, the theme of the month was almost ugh, or bluch.
1:09.3	I was like, I don't know if I can, like, I don't know if I can get away with that or
1:14.3	stand behind that.
1:16.2	But that said, it was close.
1:19.2	It was really close.
1:20.4	The reason that I didn't go with, ugh, beyond probably the obvious, is because that
1:25.9	felt a little bit too much like my response
1:28.4	to the energy of the month ahead, not even the cards, just, I'm personally, and I'm sure I speak for
1:38.6	a lot of people. I'm just so tired of being in this nine year. I'm so fucking sick of this shit. I'm a nine life path.
1:50.2	I'm a hermit. That's my card. No disrespect to nine to hermit. But I can't, I mean, I have never been more dissatisfied with like the energy of this time.
2:09.8	And there's so much to be thankful for and there's so many blessings and there's wonderful
2:14.8	things, but I'm so over the energy.
2:18.9	And I think most people that I have spoken to are really feeling that.
2:25.5	There are a few layers of this reading to speak to that are going to help to sort of clarify the point of dissatisfaction
