moon magic and new beginnings

I don't know if it was the lunar eclipse (which was especially significant for my sign, Aries- if you follow astrology), the start of a new month, or just the changing weather, but I have felt reawakened by these new beginnings. Much like the beginning of a new year, I feel like it's a chance for me to start over and be refreshed by new directions.

It has been a perfect first day of October. It was finally cool enough to wear a sweater and boots to class. I'm listening to French jazz and burning cinnamon incense as I write this, and I have soup simmering on the stove. Later tonight I have a dessert date to celebrate a friend's birthday. A perfect autumn day.

I have to say, I'm not sad to see September end. I look forward to a new month, a new season, a new chance to begin.
