May/June 2026

SEPTEMBER FORECAST

After August’s eclipses we are digesting new insights, truths, and emotional awareness. This month is about refining the story: sort, reorganize, simplify, and reset priorities.

Use discernment instead of rejection. Set gentle boundaries around new, still-vulnerable intentions. Patience and trust in right timing will serve you well.

Some of you have felt the eclipse energy in a very physical way—enough to knock you out of old habits. As hard as that is, treat it as a gift: a deeper clearing that can become permanent change.

Early September is for the details. Keep projects and to-do lists small and practical. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Stay with what is right in front of you and needs organizing, including any completions the eclipses opened that still want a clean close.

In the sorting you may find routines that involve others and need to change. Choose what supports you from neutrality, not judgment. Make it about what you need, not what others failed to give. That keeps you out of blame and conflict.

Keep ambitions modest. Create space so what needs a new anchor can find one, and clear what stands in the way of freedom, self-expression, and creative progress. Don’t overextend. If you feel stuck, something is not quite aligned—sort it, then have the courage to change it.

Hello all,

I am so sorry this newsletter is late. There were many reasons: workmen, a puppy, and a computer that lost all my data. But here I am.

Believe it or not, I just got into my studio upstairs. I think August 27th was the first night I slept in it. You can imagine how much practice I got in patience.

On top of that I got a third dog, Amber. That takes time and patience too!! The story goes: I drove to Sacramento to meet Amber the 1st of August.. and she was so cute she jumped straight into the van, into her crate, before I could even say hello, hi,yes or no that she would get along with Cookie and Izzi... She is related to Cookie and Izzy—Izzy’s sister’s pup.


She has a whole new personality you will get to experience: very lovable and serious at the same time, smart, and she likes to get into trouble. I swear she does it on purpose. She gives me that grin and tries to cuddle.

But all in all, we are getting along very well. So as I travel and walk, I now walk with the CIA: Cookie, Izzy, Amber. I didn’t plan it that way.

 
 

I’ve been cleaning inside and out and finally passed the fire inspection. Everything is cleared five feet from the house — no bushes, no weeds, no low branches. It took 3 trys, I just had to pull and cut more down. It looks a barren, but I feel safer and more protected from fire.


Before and After.

 
 

July and August were very warm. Staying in the old cabin was a delight once I put in a portable AC. I have been cleaning it up and moving things slowly into the studio. I use “warm” here, not “hot” like the locals. I know what you all have been going through—I am always checking Scottsdale weather.

September has cooled, and it is actually cold for me. Forties at night, so I turned on the fireplace in my new place. Ha—it worked.


Now I can hear you asking about the gong, and the studio here… Well, I got the big gong up, and the smaller ones. I have played for a few people—not a full session. It is a small space; I barely have to touch them to get a nice sound. I haven’t done an official test class yet. Too busy.

I am getting the guest rooms cleaned up and new shelves going in, for guests to come visit. Next year........... Darn it.

I will see you September 27th and 28th (Sunday and Monday). I have friends coming to see my on my birthday on the 18th so won't get home until later than expected.


I hope you all had a great summer. Can’t wait to catch up.

See you soon,

Love, Peace, and Good Vibes! Lisa
