Surrender Denial – September Oracle Intuitive Reading - Year Wheel 2025
Surrender Denial
“Accept people and situations exactly as they are, without denying the difficulties. Then you can see things clearly and make the best decisions.”
We move into September, another Equinox month. Fall will start for us up in the north and spring for you in the southern hemisphere. We go to the Power of Surrender Oracle Cards. The back of the deck shows a beautiful sun over a calm ocean scene. We pull the Surrender Denial card. It is a powerful card for September - Surrender Denial.
On this card, we see a beautiful woman going through a field that is coming up to harvest time. It looks like a grain field. She has clouds up in the sky, shifting and moving in all different directions. She is wearing a long white flowing dress, as you do when you are running through a field, haha. But she is blindfolded.
Surrender Denial - let me read the words on this card: “Accept people and situations exactly as they are, without denying the difficulties. Then you can see things clearly and make the best decisions.” It is carrying on a little bit of that last part of the Gratitude card from August, bringing that into September. Let me read it again: Surrender Denial – “Accept people and situations exactly as they are, without denying the difficulties. Then you can see things clearly and make the best decisions.”
You do not want to make somebody out to be something they are not. If they are not skilled in that, if they are not equipped for that, if they do not want to do that, and always tell you... So, accept it. Accept it and either move on or just accept it. Accept it and find clarity, find compromise, find a way to move into whatever you need with that person without expecting there to be something different.
Now, it does not mean that that person can not make choices and changes themselves. They need to accept things for themselves. It means though, that you have to first accept what is there before anybody can be changing. You get to accept your parts, and you get to accept somebody else's part, if there is a dialogue like that or a lack of dialogue as the case may be. It is also bringing up an analogy for when we think of acceptance because it is September. It is bringing us acceptance of the season, of the part of the world where you are in. For us in the north, September is when we really start to see the light changing with the end of the day getting darker faster. The trees and the vines start to change their leaf colour in late September. This month, the temperature can be super summery but it can also be really autumnal with changes and getting cooler. We can deny it and say we are still in summer and nothing is changing and many of us do, wearing shorts, wearing t-shirts, wearing sandals, well into the colder weather, but when you take it on a metaphoric perspective of Denial, at some point it does damage to the person. It does not help the person because there is reality that is present. It is both allowing you to see the reality but also to then be able to make decisions within that reality that work for you and that work for your freedom, your flow, your expressiveness, and your harvesting.
If she takes off the blindfold, ah, she can be more aware. She can then be looking around and seeing things and listening to things differently. Now as I say that there is a check-in with that which is really interesting. With the September card, this check-in says: while you are Surrendering Denial, letting it go, surrendering it, accepting people and situations as they are without denying the difficulties. Without denying that it is really tough – this is really difficult - that didn't work - I didn't like that it - that was challenging for me - it was hard for me - I wish we could do something different but I don't know what it is, but right now this is what's happening…
It also wants you to check in with your intuitiveness, check in with your intuitive senses, and with your gut, if you like, or your instinct on things. Where are you being told something instinctually with inner knowing, inner wisdom, that is perhaps different than what your thinking is saying or what some of your emotions are saying, or different than what you are being told to think and accept? There is a disconnect somewhere in there that this card is showing. You would love to get your thinking, your emotions, and your body aligned with your intuitive knowing, with your inner wisdom, and with your gut feelings. You would love to get those aligned. When they are not, this card is saying if you put the blindfold on and you lose that sense, then you have got to pay attention to other senses. What is your reaction? What are your vibrations? What is your hearing? What is your touch? You may not literally do that but if you are connecting with your intuition, if you are connecting with your inner wisdom and knowing, about a person or a situation, then it might help you to release that Denial because you are going to understand something on a different level. However, remember some of our previous cards this year that have spoken about whether there are cycles that you are always repeating or that you are always in the same situation of difficulty, then that would be for you to accept something that perhaps you need to be aware of for yourself. So, Surrendering the Denial of “I do not have anything that I need to work on” - that would then become important because the signs are showing you that, if that is the case for you.
This surrender card, Surrendering Denial, is all about that, trying to get into that beauty of harvest and flow, and allowing things to feel free for you. When you are in denial or you are not accepting things for how they really are, it just takes so much longer - from what I am feeling with this card. Eventually you will get there but it just delays and delays, and it accentuates the difficulties and makes them bigger than they perhaps need to be. You want this Surrender Denial so you can “see things clearly and make the best decisions”.
That is September 2025. Pause, have a sip of tea, we are doing great with these monthly readings. So many interesting concepts and perspectives to look at, reflect on, and work with.
Peace and Love, Light – stepping into valuable acceptance and clarity,
