Time to Consolidate, Reevaluate & Reset
September 2026: the E-Light Newsletter
In this month's E-Light Newsletter we explore the powerful energies of creativity and reset that the cosmic energy flow is presenting to us over the next few weeks. We look at the need for us to be open to flowing with what is, anchoring ourselves fully into the Earth and consolidating our energetic foundations in order to be able to evolve and transform further.
We also look at some of the energetic highlights this month, including the influence of retrograde Uranus, the expansive new moon, and the opportunities of the autumn/spring equinox.
As always, we highlight some flower, gem & crystal essences that might be particularly useful to help us move through the month in harmony & balance.

Time to Consolidate, Reevaluate & Reset
Grounding the New You
As we emerge from the spiralling energetic intensity of the last few months, we find ourselves in the month of September, entering into the last third of the year. I don’t know about you, but I am finding this rather challenging to assimilate, as it means that the equinox is only a few short weeks away which will take us into autumn and then winter in the northern hemisphere. Time just seems to have galloped past this year even faster than usual, and that is saying something! I guess we must do our best to stay grounded and just enjoy each moment as it presents itself!
Looking back over the last couple of months it feels rather as though we have all been through the transformational spin cycle in the cosmic washing machine and are now emerging feeling a little shaken but also recognising that we now have greater access to a more expanded version of ourselves. For some this process has been very full on and for others rather gentler in nature, but there has definitely been a shift within all of us.
If you are still trying to find your feet or see your way forward in a new direction worry not – the energies of September will be providing you with exactly the opportunities that you need to consolidate, reevaluate & reset.
The energy flow for September is both powerful & focused and will be encouraging us to consolidate all that we have experienced in the last couple of months in particular, into a grand new beginning, an opportunity to reset fully into the new energies.
Essences to help

The Influence of Uranus
There is a lot of creative energy around this month to help us with this process. There is also a very strong thread in the energy flow that is directing us to turn within and to reevaluate the many ideas and assumptions that we have collected up without challenge or conscious review, not just in this lifetime but others before it. This thread of energy is powerful and is created by Uranus turning retrograde in Gemini on September 10th. Uranus is inviting us to challenge some of our inherited beliefs, ideas and assumptions that no longer have validity in the new energies.
Uranus is the planet of revolution, new ideas and unexpected change. When it is moving direct, we notice its influence in our external world, however when it is retrograde its influence shows up internally and assists us to see what we have taken for granted as ‘truth’ or ‘just how things are’ from an entirely new perspective. This energy will take you inwards to review the stories that you have always told yourself, the way you communicate with those around you and those unexamined mental patterns that run in the background of your consciousness.
For instance, maybe we understand superficially that everything in our world is energy vibrating at varying speeds, including ourselves but still continue unconsciously to see the world we live in and our physical bodies as solid, fixed constructions. How much easier would it be to make constructive change in our world or to heal our physical bodies if we were able to fully take this in and really apply it to our lives. The imposed limitations of physics would disappear overnight and healing the physical body would change exponentially.
Seeing ourselves as somehow separate from the rest of creation and Source would also be a good example of ideas that we might find ourselves challenged to explore within ourselves this month. If we really knew deeply that we are all connected, how could we continue to treat nature and ourselves the way that we currently do. It would also become completely clear to us that anything we do to another by word or deed we are also doing to ourselves.
These are deep issue that we are being encouraged to examine and reset but they are very necessary if we are to live fully within the new energies.
Essences to help
- Creativity; the energy flow at the moment contains some strong threads of creative, innovative energy that we will need to engage with in order to fully implement the new ideas that the influence of Uranus is likely to bring to the fore for us. If you find yourself in need of a little help to free up your creative flow this month the Creativity Combination is the one for you. It will help to stimulate your creative flow and boost your sense of freedom and individuality.
- Clarity & Perspective Spray; if you should find yourself struggling get a wide enough perspective on any new ideas and inspirations presenting themselves this month then the Clarity & Perspective Spray is the one for you. It will quickly relax your mental body, dissolve ‘mental blocks’ and help your mind to expand so that you can connect with the greater clarity and perspective available from your soul and higher mind.
More about the energies of September
The days around September 10th are particularly powerful energetically because in addition to Uranus turning retrograde in Gemini, Venus moves into Scorpio and Mercury into Libra, creating quite a shift in the energetic current and the energetic focus that it offers us. This is likely to take our attention to our relationships, possibly unlocking some deeply held emotions around old relationship issues, and particularly asking us to review our relationship with ourselves. This is an opportunity to allow yourself to deeply appreciate and love yourself and to explore the dynamic of your relationships from this perspective.
Essences to help
- Healing Relationships; with a focus in the energy flow on relationship issues this month it is possible that we might find ourselves revisiting old patterns and issues connected to past or current relationships. If you should find yourself in need of support with this, check out the Healing Relationships Essence to help you dissolve the old energies connected to what you are experiencing.
The New Moon
Accompanying all of this energetic change we have a New Moon on September 11th at 18 degrees Virgo. This is a supportive New Moon in the practical Earth sign of Virgo, and it is exactly what we need to help us implement any changes that we might have identified as important.
Earth signs bring us back to our bodies, to nature and to what is tangible and real right now. They help us to connect with the Earth and to make the adjustments in our lives that will help us integrate the changes that we need to make to allow life to work better for us. This Vigo New Moon brings us a powerful opportunity to slow down, to rearrange routines, establish new habits and ensure that we are looking after ourselves at a physical level.
Essences to help
- Being Present; this is the essence to take when you need some help to slow down, pull yourself back into the present moment and bring your focus and attention to what needs doing right now.
September Equinox
The Sun enters Libra on September 23rd UK time, triggering the Autumn Equinox in the northern hemisphere and the Spring Equinox in the southern hemisphere. For a short period around the Equinox, we have equal lengths of day and night on our planet and the Earths energy lines all come into harmony and balance with each other. This creates a tangible point of balance and harmony that we can align with if we take time out to connect in and come into alignment with the pulse of the Earth and the natural elements. The more of us that can open our hearts and consciously connect in with Mother Earth at this time the more we can embody and spread the energies of harmony and balance that are so needed in our world right now.
September Full Moon
The full moon this month is September 26th in Aries where it is exactly conjunct Neptune. There is likely to be energetic intensity connected to this full moon so remember to breathe and connect with anything that comes into your awareness around this time. The influence of Neptune has the potential to bring us profound revelations about ourselves, and our purpose so do your best to stay centred and pay attention to anything that might reveal itself around this time.
Essences to help
- Harmony & Tranquillity Spray; if you should find yourself struggling with a patch of emotional intensity around the full moon, consider having a Harmony & Tranquillity Spray to help calm things down a bit. This is a wonderful, quick acting spray that will, calm your mind, balance your emotions and generally help to restore inner equilibrium.
Consolidate your Foundations
Strong buildings need strong foundations, and we as individuals are no different. To be able to evolve and grow in the kind of profound ways that we are being asked to do right now a strong energetic foundation is essential. The energies this month will be helping us to review and adjust our personal foundation in quite profound ways if we pay attention to what is going on within us.
The current energy flow is likely to highlight for us anywhere that we are making it difficult for ourselves to expand into a more harmonious alignment with our true self. For instance, we might experience this as an old story that we still unconsciously believe about ourselves being challenged by the energy in order that we can see a greater truth about ourselves.
This usually feels uncomfortable because there is a degree of resistance to connecting with whatever the story is, but unless we are willing to pay attention it will likely just get more uncomfortable! Remember, all that is really being requested is for us to align more fully with our authentic selves.
To do this and allow the old story to rearrange itself within us we need to make sure that we are not unknowingly digging a hole in our own foundation that makes it difficult for us to have the strength to evolve beyond where we are currently at.
There has been a tendency in the past for ‘growth’ to be seen as the need to ‘fix’ what you considered to be not OK about yourself. I need to get rid of this or that! Inevitably, this mindset developed into one that constantly took your attention to what you considered to be wrong with you and did not help you to find acceptance and understanding for yourself. This has the effect of constantly undermining your foundations so that there was no real solidity there to build on. These are the beliefs that Uranus may begin to help you unpack more quickly in this month’s energy flow.
Essences to help
- Kundalini Activation; this is our newest combination and one that is powerfully helpful in the new energies that we are currently living in. It will help you to feel both grounded and expansive, to know yourself more fully and to stand firmly in your own power and intention. In fact, just what you need to help you to consolidate your energetic foundations this month.
- Heart Chakra; opening our hearts to ourselves and our world is fundamental to living in the new energies. If you should find yourself in need of support to help you open your heart more fully this month, the Heart Chakra is the essence to take to help you do this. Let it gently remind you of the love that you are and the power of that energy to help you make positive change.
Acceptance and Understanding
One of the best ways that you can strengthen your inner foundation is to make a practice of looking with acceptance and understanding at the journey that you choose for yourself as a soul and to allow yourself to acknowledge all that you have experienced along the way. When you do this with real acceptance and gratitude everything that you thought was wrong with you starts to be seen as a way that you have chosen to develop a strength, a supportive brick in your foundation as a being.
Give yourself credit for how far you have come. Notice the fears that you have overcome to get where you are now, acknowledge the lessons learned from speaking up for yourself, or being challenged to use your personal power in balanced ways. Maybe you have had to overcome deep feelings of self-judgement, unworthiness or the grief of feeling unloved. None of these things are comfortable as we live them out in our lives and they may well still be energies that you experience from time to time now, but they are definitely not something to look on as failures or something wrong with you.
They represent important experiences that you chose for yourself in order to evolve and grow. See them all as bricks in your energetic foundations that you have needed in order to be able to expand with the flow of change and transformation that we are currently experiencing. Feel the strength in your foundation when you acknowledge this to yourself. Everything is exactly as it should be; you are right on track and ready to transform in new ways, just as you set out to do when you came into this life.
Essences to help
- Loving Acceptance Spray; this is a wonderful spray to use when you need to remind yourself how to be in loving acceptance for life and all that it brings. Let it open your heart chakra, raise your vibrational frequency and provide you with a warm loving hug!
- Thankfulness; this is the essence to take when you need to expand your capacity to see everything in your life with gratitude and thankfulness. Let it expand your heart and help you enhance your life with positivity.
Well, that's it from us, it just remains for us to wish you a wonderful month of creative new ideas and to send you all our love with the reminder to contact us if you need further help or support on your journey.
