Today, we’re sharing this evocative piece written by astrologer Virginia Bell—which captures the feeling of this time of year:
Late Summer, Early Fall – A Season Unto Itself
We are in that magical time between the seasons, a dreamy and melancholy place. For a few brief weeks we have the best of both summer and fall. During late summer everything is slower and steamier, a reminder that we need to relax our pace, rest and make time for pleasure. The sweetness of summer lingers on as we try and experience every indulgence: the final swim, a picnic on the beach, the last of the season’s sweet peaches, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil. At the same time, we can smell the apples ripening on the trees and the faint, pungent fragrance of autumn in the cool night air and that too is full of promise and seduction.
We are on the precipice of a new season. Resurrect old creative projects. Rediscover books you loved as a child. Stay in touch with your authentic self by starting a journal. What brings you joy, what makes you happy? Follow your heart, your whimsy. “What pleasure are you postponing?” wrote Henry Miller.
All is well, you are loved, Virginia virginiabellastrology.com
“Work is not always required…there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected.”
