    the Identity Wound

    The Identity Wound  -   Who Are You? We are now on the other side of the October 10 New Moon in Libra, and that New Moon brought us directly into one of October's biggest themes: choice. October is not a month for standing still, even with all of the outer planets retrograde, Venus retro now, and Mercury going retro soon. It may feel that way sometimes because we are being asked to reconsider, review, and reassess so many things. And many people say you should not make big forward moves during a retrograde. But review is not the same thing as stagnation and intentional action is better than waiting. Sometimes we have to decide to  stop moving in the same direction long enough to realize that we no longer want to go there. This is what retrogrades are good for, especially those that occur in Scorpio. That is where we are now and it is much different than not moving at all. The Libra New Moon asked us to look at balance, relationships, agreements, compromise, reciprocity, and the choices we make to maintain harmony. But there is a bigger question underneath all of that: Who is making your choices? Is it the person you are today? Or is it the person you used to be? That question becomes particularly important now because Chiron has retrograded back into Aries and is moving through the final degree of that sign. Maybe this is why the Chiron through Aries transit is its longest transit. I think of this as one last pass through the identity wound. You have heard of the mother wound, the father wound, soul wounds – a term I created and taught about, but what about how these wounds impact us and our identity? How do they impact who we allow ourselves to be and to become and what do we do about that? That’s a core part of our life lessons, and it is what establishes our unique, independent, intentional identity. Chiron entered Taurus for the first time since 1976 earlier this year, giving us a brief preview of a completely different energy around value, worth, resources, security, the body, money, and what we are capable of creating and sustaining.

    October 2026 Energy Report

    October means cooler weather, the start of the holiday season, and the last part of the year. It is a 10 month in a 1 year so we have an 11 vibe this month, which always brings a special energy. 11 is the number of spiritual initiation, the beginning of a spiritual journey but this is not a re-start of everything we have done before . We are not erasing everything that has happened and starting at a blank beginning.  It  is the first steps on a new spiritual path that is now open to us. Are we ready? Now this is not a promise of joy and abundance, it is a promise of lessons, learning, and choices. Don’t confuse the two or you may be disappointed! A spiritual initiation is an invitation to move into another level of awareness, responsibility, choice, and self-mastery. It is a new level of self-awareness which begins with a realization of a truth that makes the old path irrelevant and unsustainable.  It does not come with a promise that everything will suddenly become easy, joyful, and abundant. We have clarity and from that we get to make new choices. This is something I first wrote about in 2004 and I described it as the  Path of Spiritual Initiation and its five stages: Birth, Trial, Lesson, Enlightenment, and After Enlightenment. It was one of the first articles I wrote in my newsletter in February 2004, and Planet Lightworker magazine published it in a very popular article that was read by millions.

    Manifest from Completed Endings

    We often think manifestation begins with intention, desire, or vision. Those are important parts of the process, but manifestation also requires movement. An idea remains an idea until we give it direction, energy, structure, and a place to become real, and part of our reality . And manifestation is a process of turning energy into reality. This is energetic manipulation – ‘mani’ means hands – in the best sense of the word. September asks: What are you prepared to do with the ideas, possibilities, and opportunities that are now appearing? The Ninth Month: Completion Before Creation September is the ninth month of the calendar year, and the number nine carries the energy of fulfillment, completion, integration, and release. Nine represents the end of a cycle, but an ending is not a failure. It is the point at which we have gathered everything that a particular experience, relationship, identity, belief, or life path was capable of teaching us. We cannot remain in every cycle forever.  We can create beginnings but there is a catch and a lesson. The catch is beginnings require endings. The lesson is that letting go, releasing, having closure, is the necessary part of both endings and beginnings. And in September we get this opportunity in an interesting way because the energy of September is both an ending, a 9, and a beginning, the 1. One of the greatest challenges of manifestation is our reluctance to allow endings. We want the new beginning, but we do not always want to release what the beginning will replace. We want expansion without disruption, transformation without change, and a new reality that does not require us to reconsider any part of the old one.

    Take Aligned Action

    With September’s 1 energy of fresh starts and new beginnings, the first thing we think about is action. And if your life has experienced delays and setbacks in recent months or years, you’re probably ready for movement now. You may have been abandoned or rejected by people over the past decade or longer, and now you are ready to be in control again, to feel like you do not have to react to what others decide to do and instead, make decisions that are proactive, beneficial, and controlled. September opens the door to action, but this is not action for the sake of staying busy, proving yourself, or forcing something to happen before it is ready. This is intentional action. It is activated by a strong desire for change or by an intuitive knowing that we need to shift the energy in one or more areas of our life. It is inspired movement that arises when you recognize that you have reached the end of one energetic road and are ready to enter another. September’s energy asks us to stop circling the possibilities, endlessly reviewing our choices, waiting for permission, or hoping that the next step will somehow make itself obvious. And on a deeper level, hoping that someone or something will change and you will not have to make the choice that you have been delaying, maybe for a long time. You know what I mean, we have all done it. Promising ourselves that we will end something but hoping we won’t have to.

    September 2026 Energy Report pt1

    starts and beginnings. Before you get too excited, remember that beginnings require endings. Those endings may have already happened – we have had a lot of endings in the past 6 years – or they may be coming up. When you set an intention for a beginning, something has to end to create the energetic space for it to happen.10 is both an end and a beginning, it is the 1 of fresh starts and action and the 0 of no-thing. This is pure potential, access to undifferentiated energy that we can create from. And with the Equinox on September 22 is another energy shift with the Sun going into Libra. Remember that the calendar year starts January 1 but the natural year starts with the Spring Equinox around March 21. This is the 3rd quarter of the year, a time for harvest and assessment, as well as acting on what we have learned.The energy theme for September is Alchemized Action but this is managed, direct, intentional action. We are now able to move from Potential to Possibility to Purposeful Manifestation through Action. Manifestation is the key word here – this is where we alchemize energy into form. We take undifferentiated energy from the field of potential and convert it, via intention, into matter. This is the process of manifestation.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman. Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.

    August 2026 Energy Report

    https://enlighteninglife.com/august-2026-energy-report/It’s August, the 8th month which means that the year is winding down. By the time August ends it feels like the holidays are just around the corner, then the year is over. I feel like this year has been in a holding pattern. Things are happening, but many things are starting and nothing is completing. I think August will be the turning point for that. August is the 8th month and in a 2026, which is a 1 year, it’s a 9, the number of endings. But these are not normal or usual endings, this is closure if we are ready for that. If you are part of the GPS 2026 group, I explained this in the August call. You can join that program at this link. August energy theme is completion, and that is more than endings that must occur for beginnings. Completion is being finished, complete, with no loose ends, no regret, no second chances or second guessing our actions or intentions. If you are given an opportunity for completion this month, take it all the way to the end. Completion must happen before true beginnings can occur. August 2026 has 2 eclipses which is not rare for August but it brings back the August 21, 2017 eclipse which was called the Great US eclipse. It was at 28 Leo and that correlates to the current degree of the North Node, which just moved into Aquarius. I think there is a synergy there so we will have to wait to see how that plays out. The Universe has interesting ways of creating solutions to the dark agendas that are currently wreaking havoc on the planet. Read the rest of the article on the Enlightening Life blog at this link.

    July 2026 Energy Report

    https://enlighteninglife.com/july-2026-energy-report/ One thing about July – it’s hot here. But I have air conditioning so I’m comfortable even though I do keep mine a little bit higher than most people because I do not like being cold. And hot July is the right foundation for the action of this month. The first thing to notice is that July 2026 has an ‘8’ vibration, the number of balanced manifestation, harmony, congruence, and energy alchemy. 8 is the number of infinity but it is also balance and flow. Energy moves this month, and it will demand balance and flow. Next the month starts with a Mercury retrograde which is not a bad thing. It is in Cancer, the sign of emotions and the mother, but also foundations, process, and stability. Mercury is just finishing up the work that Jupiter just did with 12 months in Cancer. This is a call to action for us to remove what is causing imbalance, instability, disharmony, and lack of flow. And this is not just about other people, it is about the instability and disharmony that we create for ourselves by not honoring our needs, not limiting the energy we share, not creating strong intentions, and not maintaining energy boundaries. We are often the source of our own disempowerment, even though we do not do it intentionally or on purpose. July’s energy theme is Harmony, Balance, and Truth. This is not keeping the peace to avoid drama, saying ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no,’ being available to anyone for anything to avoid trouble. This is maintaining energetic harmony, frequency, balance, and standing in your truth. The truth of what you believe for yourself, of what is right and best for you, of keeping your own peace of mind, heart, and spirit.

    The Myth of Forgiveness

    https://enlighteninglife.com/myth-forgiveness/In a recent conversation with a friend about my family and why I had to establish no contact with them 18 months ago, she asked ‘Will you ever forgive them?” “Why should I,” I replied, “when their actions just showed me the truth I had been ignoring for years?” “Well, that’s not very spiritual,” she replied. “How is it spiritual to continue to let people stay in my life when they have showed me, time and time again, that they do not love, honor, or respect me and that is not going to change?” I do not plan to forgive them for anything they did because it is not necessary. I have already done all of the forgiving I need to do, by forgiving myself for believing that fixing this family dysfunction was my job and that somehow, if I worked hard enough, overlooked enough toxicity, and forgave often enough, that some day the Norman Rockwell version of family bliss would somehow be mine. The idea that forgiveness should be given to people who do not want it, care about it, or deserve it has kept us locked in toxic relationships for years or longer. And especially if you consider yourself to be spiritual, you believe that you should unconditionally forgive people for being cruel, unkind, and mean to you. At some point, we accepted the belief that granting forgiveness was going to change their behavior. It will not and it never has.
