The fall edit | Support for the Now


The Romance of Seasonality

Fall is the season of shedding. But it is also the season of seduction. The seduction of slowing down. Of golden light. Of grief that moves and cleanses rather than staying stuck in our tissues. Of air that invites stillness and intimacy. Of harvest. This is your invitation to let the season romance you. Not just into softness, but into discernment. Presence. Capacity.

Fall isn’t just about ‘letting go’. It’s also about gathering what’s ready. The dreams, practices and patterns you’ve been tending all year — some of them are ripening now. This is some of the most abundant cosmic weather of the year when we still have Jupiter in Cancer (till June 2026) but now have Saturn backed back into Pisces (and therefore out of Aries for the moment). We are moving out of the Eclipse window and have some supportive trines headed our way as well as Venus (our other benefic planet) spending time in her comfy home sign of Libra. I’m not saying it’s going to get easy collectively, we are moving through a rebirth portal, but there is some support to move things forward with attention and intention.

If you’re reading this at the beginning of fall (between the Equinox 9/21 and 10/7) we are in a profound shadow portal with a transit that hasn’t occurred in our lifetime. It has reckoning vibes and that means it’s more important than ever to take care of you. Even though I am speaking a lot about grief below with the Metal element, it’s still important to process healthy aggression and to MOVE ENERGY (the One Practice and the Emotional Hygiene Portal are great for this). Let’s all hold the vision that the explosive energy present leads to disclosures and actions that will move us forward in the most easeful way. Individually it is an important time to not back down from facing your own shadows, to be willing to stare them in the face. If you are spongy, work on your boundaries so you are not absorbing collective trauma.

This moment asks:

Where are you still trying to force what must be surrendered?

Where are you ready to choose empowered action over unconscious reaction?

How might you hold a frequency rather than getting swept up by the external?

This is a cosmic pressure point. A confrontation with old survival patterns. It can feel edgy, intense, even volcanic. But it’s also a moment of incredible clarity. If you stay regulated, in your own center, resourced — you can harness this transit for deep personal reclamation.

Let the truth cut through the noise. Which means tuning into your own center. Metal sharpens discernment, helping us separate signal from static, truth from distortion. In times of collective death and rebirth, it’s what allows us to tune inward, and ask: What serves the highest good?

This is about sourcing truth from within, not outsourcing it to the loudest voice. Let this be the death of what was never aligned to begin with, systems not set up for our thriving. We are moving into the most abundant time we’ve ever known, hold fast to that vision + energetic calibration.

The Field of Fall: OF NOTE

  • Metal Element (TCM): Lungs, Large Intestine + Skin. Grief, breath, boundaries, letting go. The need for emotional hygiene (hello Jupiter in Cancer amplifying). Presence, refinement, simplification and connection to Spirit.

  • The Po: The corporeal soul. The part of us that knows what is sacred because we feel it in our bones. Our connection to intuition, to our Higher Self.

  • Pluto in Aquarius + Uranus in Gemini (till early Nov.): The air remains charged and nervous system regulation remains a priority as we birth a new paradigm.

  • Signs of the season: Libra (Cardinal Air), Scorpio (Fixed Water), Sagittarius (Mutable Fire)

    • Libra → nervous system coherence in connection, harmony, the other.

    • Scorpio → soul compost, energetic death, depth, intuition.

    • Sagittarius → clarity, higher fire, visioning, optimism, expansion.

  • Mercury Retrograde: November 9th-29th. Some basics of Mercury Retrograde support here.

  • Jupiter remains in Cancer (its sign of exaltation), now with Saturn backed back into Pisces giving a bit more breathing room. Optimize ease and plant seeds for abundance with the Jupiter in Cancer training here.

Metal element love

Metal element is literally and figuratively about “letting shit go”. The lungs, skin and large intestine serve the physical + psychospirtual function of release. And in letting go of what no longer serves, we can more easily align with inspiration, gratitude for “our one precious life”, and connection to the aliveness and preciousness of each moment.

It is about the distillation of essence. But what essence? What is the gold of your harvest. With Jupiter in Cancer, we’re invited to grow by nourishing what’s sacred. With Saturn back in Pisces, structure becomes more soul-aligned. There’s real movement - but only if it flows through your inner authority. Jupiter wants to expand, Cancer wants care. This is a moment of receiving what’s been building, not by pushing harder, but by being soft enough to let it in. Jupiter in Cancer expands our capacity to receive nourishment, safety, support, and wealth — all from a place of inner steadiness and devotion to emotional flow. Paired with Saturn in Pisces, there’s a chance to re-structure our containers in a way that doesn’t leak energy, but honors what is truly sustaining.

Somatic signs of the season:

  • shallow or irregular breath, anxiety

  • nostalgia or waves of grief

  • craving soup, tea, quiet, solitude

  • urge to declutter or edit your life

  • resistance to letting go

  • dry skin

  • longing for tenderness, but on your own terms

  • if you find yourself waking often between the hours of 3-7am you may need some extra Metal element love. This is also why between 5-7am is considered by many the best hours to meditate, because you are most connected with Source at this time, during the lung hours - the house of po.

Wellness support for the season:

  • warm steamed seasonal food and light soups.

  • scent as a pathway to bringing you into the present moment, especially with Smell Cognition, Smell Environment Tone or Gate 44 prominently, like in your Sun or Moon gates.

  • complete projects, clear clutter and organize.

  • lean into your Human Design environment to signal safety in the body + create more ease in your day to day. Click on your Environment image above for mood board inspo.

  • rise with sunrise and get your bare eyes in the sun + wind down post sunset and limit blue light. Watch the Voltage training for lots of other ways to support your cellular health + quantum biology here inside This Is The Space.

  • focus your efforts on attaining goals, checking off your to do list.

  • read for pleasure - discover your unique reading rhythm + resonance with this free guide.

  • honor the season we’re in + prepare your body and space for colder weather thru seasonal practices. The metal element fascia flows in THIS IS THE SPACE along with the entire Nervous System portal, Breathwork + Emotional Hygiene portals + The One practice will all especially serve the season. You can also find the full Fall Field Guide within including foods, recipe recommendations, practices, rituals, products, and ways to honor Samhain. Our community in the S. Hemisphere can find an abundance of support for Spring.

PO + SPIRIT: SCAFFOLDING SUPPORT FOR SOUL MANIFESTATION

In TCM the lungs, associated with Metal, house the Po or the corporeal Soul.

nervous system support for fall

It's the most physical, body-bound aspect of spirit, intimately tied to our breath, instinct, and somatic awareness. The Po governs sensation, movement, and our capacity to respond to the world through reflex, emotion, and embodied presence. Our connection to the precious moment.

Unlike the more ethereal Hun (Liver soul), the Po dissolves at death and doesn't carry forward — it is of the Earth, here for this lifetime only. Think of it as the animal body's soul — the raw, primal awareness that lives in the tissues, in the lungs, and in every inhale-exhale rhythm. When the Po is strong, we're responsive, present, and grounded in our physical human experience. We anchor Spirit in form.

We often think of earthing when we think of grounding, but supporting your Po brings you into grounded presence, deepens rest and enhances vitality while bringing more Spirit into your Human Experience. Psychological astrologers like Jung believe that your Rising Sign reflects a soul contract for embodiment, the archetype of becoming (much like your North Node), a gateway for your Soul to express in the material world. What does your Rising Sign say about how your Soul chose to meet the world? What is the spiritual invitation of this sign?

DECONDITIONING + simplify to expand

Fall invites us to become editors in our environment and of our own energy (body, mind, emotions, spirit). What needs editing, deconditioning, decluttering. It’s a season of discernment and elimination. Of taking what’s essential and letting the rest fall away, just like the trees do — not because something is wrong, but because there’s wisdom in creating space.

And when it comes to nervous system health, this isn’t just poetic — it’s physiological. Simplifying your inputs, your to-do list, your expectations, your pace… it sends a signal of safety. A regulated body doesn’t need to hustle to be worthy. The more you refine — your rhythms, your habits, your attention — the more capacity you reclaim.

That’s why this season, we’re anchoring into The One Practice inside This Is The Space. Commitment to just one gentle daily rhythm that meets you where you are. While it can be habit stacked with addition fascia or nervous system love this is a single thread to return to when you feel scattered or full. It’s a reminder that nervous system care doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be consistent. Sometimes, expansion isn’t about doing more. It’s about clearing the channel so your body can receive what’s already trying to reach you. Find out why I call it The One here.

nervous system love notes

We’ve been sold the idea that nervous system work is just a checklist of regulation hacks. Breathwork, ice plunges, fascia tools, vagus nerve toning. But… it’s so much more than that.

It’s slowing down enough to feel your life again. It’s remembering that your body isn’t a project — it’s a portal. It’s going beyond the exercises to the lifestyle.

The nervous system isn’t separate from your soul. It’s the bridge between your higher vision and your lived reality. When you tend to it, you’re not just “regulating” — you’re remembering yourself. If we’re birthing a new world — one rooted in coherence, clarity, and collective care — we can’t do it from the same dysregulated states that built the last one.

The new paradigm isn’t born from burnout. It’s born from capacity. From bodies that can hold beauty. From systems that can receive. From people who know how to slow down without collapsing and speed up without abandoning themselves.

Nervous system work isn’t the self-care sidebar. It is the infrastructure. It’s the foundation not only of your health and ability to manifest, but of sustainable creativity, relational integrity, and energetic sovereignty. It’s not just a healing tool — it’s a magnetizing your desired life’ strategy.

When you regulate your nervous system, you’re not opting out of the world. You’re creating the conditions for a new one. You become more available to your vision. You hold cleaner boundaries. You hear your intuition with less static. You become a clearer channel — for Source, for service, for change.

That’s our legacy.
