Latest / Remember Why You Are Here / September 2026 Intuitive Reading
Transcript
- 0:02The veils we've been wearing kind of fall away and we're able to be ourselves
- 0:07more fully in this world.
- 0:08We're able to see ourselves more clearly and we're able to access more vision of
- 0:12our future.
- 0:23Hello and welcome back to Remember Why You're Here,
- 0:26a podcast for seekers and sensitives where you can relax, receive,
- 0:30reconnect yourself, and remember that most important thing of all,
- 0:34why you're here. I'm Asia Suler, author,
- 0:37earth intuitive teacher. And in this episode today,
- 0:41we are going to be looking into the energies ahead for the month of September
- 0:442026.
- 0:47Feels like there's some big stuff up this month,
- 0:50so I'm curious to get into the reading. Before we start,
- 0:53I wanted to let you know that my books for my one-on-one intuitive readings,
- 0:57Your Soul's image are officially open. They opened yesterday.
- 1:02I went ahead and let the newsletter list know first.
- 1:05So it's possible they might be getting all gobbled up already.
- 1:10But if you're interested in this reading,
- 1:13it is basically like these monthly intuitive readings only.
- 1:17It's personalized for you one-on-one.
- 1:19And I'm calling it your soul's image because in the reading I go in and I
- 1:23download an image from your soul for you to help you connect to your
- 1:29true self, your wider self, who you really are,
- 1:32and receive guidance for where you're at this point in your life.
- 1:36I'm also bringing in and helping to introduce you to one of your spirit guides
- 1:41as well as answering three questions that you have about your life right now.
- 1:45So I have both pre-recorded and live one-on-one sessions available for
- 1:49that.
- 1:50If you want to check out that link here to see if there are any readings left.
- 1:54And if there aren't any readings left,
- 1:57I'll probably be releasing the next batch of readings sometime in October for
- 2:02the last two months of the year. And if you want to hear about that,
- 2:05you can follow that link to go ahead and get on the wait list so that you'll
- 2:09know right away when those new readings release. Okay,
- 2:13so let's get into the themes for this month ahead.
- 2:18So some themes for this month of September are protecting your energy,
- 2:23identity transformation, welcoming back exiled parts,
- 2:27endings and beginnings and downloading visions of the future.
- 2:31So I decided to work with this deck called The Shaman's Oracle:
- 2:34Wisdom and Guidance from the Ancestors by John Matthews and Will Kinghan.
- 2:39And I wanted to work with this deck because this deck works with images
- 2:44from caves spanning the whole world.
- 2:48They're digital images from paintings inside caves and rock art on
- 2:53the cards.
- 2:53And I wanted to work with this deck because I'm getting ready to prepare to go
- 2:57back to France in just a few weeks to visit the painted
- 3:02caves there again of the paleolithic to keep working on my book about the
- 3:07deep ancestors. This book is one, I know I've said before,
- 3:10it'll be years in the making,
- 3:12but I'm really excited to go back to be inside those caves to be in the presence
- 3:17of the deep ancestors in that way, to be in the presence of this art.
- 3:21And so I felt excited about the idea of working with this deck that had
- 3:26images from caves around the world inside of it.
- 3:30But I knew when I chose this deck that what I was hoping for was that
- 3:35it would be an image from a cave I was familiar with and I could talk a little
- 3:38bit about that cave and about that specific image.
- 3:41And I was lucky that I did pick a card that had one of those images and that
- 3:45feels particularly good because it feels like we can go a little bit deeper with
- 3:49this card in what actually the message is for this month.
- 3:53So the card that I picked and that I'm about to go deeper into in just a
- 3:58moment, but the card that I picked was the ancestor of exile card.
- 4:03So in this card,
- 4:04we see a line drawing from a cave of a wooly rhinoceros,
- 4:09a animal that is now extinct in the booklet for this deck.
- 4:13This card is described as one of reconnection and return,
- 4:18a restoration type feeling, maybe being restored to one's family, one nation,
- 4:23finding a new direction home.
- 4:25And the quote from the ancestor in the book,
- 4:28because the booklet in the deck is designed to help connect you with the
- 4:33ancestors. And the quote here is, "I am the ancestor of exile.
- 4:38I have born witness to many kinds of separation and have watched the suffering
- 4:41of those who are driven away from their home or country.
- 4:44Yet there is a deeper exile still in exile from the south and I stand ready to
- 4:49help lost people find their way back to their place of belonging.
- 4:53Draw strength from me when you need reconnection or support in times of
- 4:56loneliness." So I was happy that my intention in
- 5:01picking this card was already to go deeper than what was there.
- 5:05And I do this anyways with the monthly readings.
- 5:08The card is kind of a jumping off point for me, an anchor point for me.
- 5:11And then I channel and I bring in the other energies surrounding this month and
- 5:16connected to this card.
- 5:17So this felt particularly good because this card and bringing in this idea of
- 5:22the exile is really only
- 5:25one part of this month and also is pointing us towards a longer
- 5:30story that we're in the midst of right now.
- 5:32And I'm going to get to that in just a moment, but before I talk about that,
- 5:35I want to talk about the image on the card and where it actually comes from.
- 5:38So this image of the wooly rhinoceros comes from Chauvet Cave.
- 5:42So Chauvet Cave was discovered in 1994,
- 5:45so it was relatively recent in terms of a discovery and it's home to some of
- 5:50the oldest known cave art in the world,
- 5:53so dating back roughly 36,000 years.
- 5:56And this discovery was particularly poignant when it
- 6:00happened because when it was discovered,
- 6:03it was found to be nearly twice as old as the cave art in Lascaux,
- 6:06which was huge because at the time Lascaux was kind of like the crown
- 6:11jewel of cave art.
- 6:12And we had this thought that cave art was relatively recent,
- 6:17maybe only like 15, 16,000 years old.
- 6:20But here we found this cave art that was 36,000 years old and we see
- 6:25that this tradition continued for tens of thousands of years and that our
- 6:30ancestors were making art much further back than we had anticipated.
- 6:34And so this was a landmark find Chauvet cave.
- 6:38If you've ever seen the movie Cave of Forgotten Dreams with Werner Herzog,
- 6:42this is about this cave, Chauvet. So this was a huge discovery.
- 6:46It has never been open to the public because the
- 6:51environment is so fragile.
- 6:52And the reason why it was so well preserved is that there was a rock fall about
- 6:5621,000 years ago that sealed the cave off from airflow
- 7:01from outside moisture.
- 7:04And so the cave was like this perfectly preserved
- 7:09series of chambers that was showing us this exquisite art,
- 7:13really truly high art,
- 7:15including art that was designed to look like and create the effect
- 7:20of animation.
- 7:21And one of the things I love about this rhino is that this rhino,
- 7:25though it's isolated on the card,
- 7:27it actually is part of a panel of wooly rhinos that includes a rhino that
- 7:32is painted in succession to make it look as if the animal is in movement and
- 7:37surely would have by the flickering light of a fat lamp.
- 7:41And so this is a very iconic image and that felt just
- 7:46powerful to receive, powerful to receive from this really deep place,
- 7:52this place where we have evidence of the oldest known cave art in the world.
- 7:57And this does point to me, there's a depth to September.
- 8:02And I'm going to be fully honest with you,
- 8:03right now I'm recording this in the midst of eclipse season in August.
- 8:07Obviously I have to prerecord these. And so from where I'm at right now,
- 8:11I'm like, whoa,
- 8:13there's some deep stuff happening this month and it feels like September,
- 8:17it's almost like there's even more depth.
- 8:19It's like something that we are initiating in the midst of eclipse
- 8:24season is deepening when we go into September, the deep cave.
- 8:28So that feels profound.
- 8:32Just to speak a little bit about the wooly rhino itself.
- 8:36So wooly rhino is an extinct species.
- 8:39This was a ice age species, megafauna.
- 8:44The wooly rhino is what you would consider a dangerous animal.
- 8:47And this is one thing that makes Chauvet Cave in particular really interesting
- 8:50is that a lot of the animals depicted in the cave, like cave lions for example,
- 8:55would be what we would consider dangerous animals,
- 8:58not so much the animals that would be prey animals or animals just gently
- 9:02grazing nearby. And so the wooly rhino would be among those animals.
- 9:07They were probably similar to contemporary rhinos in that they are herbivores
- 9:12and very gentle beings, but if surprised,
- 9:16if threatened, if they're young, were endangered at all, very,
- 9:21very fierce, formidable, protective energy,
- 9:26protective guardian. And so
- 9:34this particular image comes from a panel in which two wooly rhinos are actually
- 9:38engaged in a fight.
- 9:40And it's interesting because there's actually a big misnomer about the cave art
- 9:45that we've found and that it's all depictions of conflict or
- 9:50battle or hunting scenes. And that actually really is not true at all.
- 9:54It's very uncommon.
- 9:56And so this is actually what we perceive to be what we think is a conflict
- 10:02between two male rhinos. And it's interesting because the rhinos,
- 10:05they have these two horns. If you look at the wooly rhino,
- 10:08that front horn is sort of this very long swooping curved horn and it looks very
- 10:13formidable and it is,
- 10:14but that long curved horn was actually more likely used to sweep away
- 10:20ice and snow to be able to eat the grass that was underneath.
- 10:24And one thing, clearly I totally dork out about all of this,
- 10:28but one thing I find so interesting is that we had not found an intact
- 10:33specimen of wooly rhino when we found this artwork.
- 10:38And there are certain aspects of the art,
- 10:40including this sort of fatty hump on the back of the wooly rhino that we were
- 10:44like, is that just artistic license? What is that?
- 10:46And then we found a perfectly preserved wooly rhino in the permafrost and found
- 10:51out that yes, it did have that exact characteristic.
- 10:54So these drawings were also made in really, really beautiful detail.
- 10:59So I love that little fact.
- 11:01It just adds to the magic and the mystery and the majesty of this card.
- 11:06Okay, so let's get into then what this wooly rhino, what this card,
- 11:11what the deep ancestors, what my guides are telling me for this month ahead.
- 11:16What is up for us here in this collective? Okay, first and foremost,
- 11:21this was so clear the moment I picked this card and then dropped into the
- 11:25channel.
- 11:25September is a continuation of the soul retrievals that happened in August.
- 11:30So if you remember in my August intuitive reading,
- 11:32I talked about it as a month of spontaneous soul retrievals.
- 11:35So I can already say from where I'm at in August right now,
- 11:39this has absolutely been true for me.
- 11:41Soul retrieval can look like a lot of things like a memory you had forgotten,
- 11:44like crying for days about things you thought you had fully grieved.
- 11:50It can look like having a passion or an interest come back.
- 11:52I also had a soul retrieval meditation that I put up on the Remember Why You're
- 11:57Here Substack, and I know a lot of people have profound experiences with that.
- 12:01So soul retrievals when a part of us that was lost somewhere along the way that
- 12:06went and protected itself from the present moment because the charge of the
- 12:10present moment was too much, when we welcome those parts back,
- 12:12when we bring those parts back.
- 12:14And it was fascinating to me when I got this card of the exile because it
- 12:19felt to me very much like this message of
- 12:23these exiled parts,
- 12:24these extinct parts coming back and that this
- 12:29is a continuation of what happened in August and also an
- 12:34integration. So you might still be having pieces and parts come back,
- 12:38but we're also integrating everything that happened in August.
- 12:42And this is one of those things where soul retrieval can happen and it can be
- 12:46big and profound, but we might not see the changes right away.
- 12:50Often we need that integration time. It's like coming back after a long journey.
- 12:54These parts of ourselves,
- 12:55they need integration time to come back after this long journey.
- 12:59And when they do, they bring with them their talents, their passions,
- 13:03their perspective, and their ability to unlock new versions of our future.
- 13:07So that's really what we're encountering this month.
- 13:10And specifically I heard the importance of protecting whatever it
- 13:15is that has returned.
- 13:17And so you might be starting this month feeling a little tender,
- 13:20feeling like you uncovered a part of yourself,
- 13:25uncovered part of your memory,
- 13:27uncovered a part of your dreams that felt like they had been shunted away or
- 13:31stuffed away or hidden away in order to protect them.
- 13:35And there's a tenderness that comes with that.
- 13:37So whatever it is that you understood, uncovered,
- 13:42received, connected with in August,
- 13:45there's a deep sense here in September of you protecting that,
- 13:50protecting those parts.
- 13:52I thought it was really interesting in particular that this term exile came up
- 13:57because the concept of exile parts in internal family
- 14:01systems or IFS is very similar to what we would talk about as
- 14:06soul loss in a shamanic understanding or soul retrieval.
- 14:10So exile parts in internal family systems are one of three main parts.
- 14:15So there's exile parts, there's the managers, and there's the firefighters.
- 14:18And so the exile parts are normally the parts of us that carry pain.
- 14:22They're the parts of us that are connected to trauma, shame,
- 14:27unmet needs in childhood,
- 14:29and they're often holding memories from times when we felt scared,
- 14:33from when the charge was too much,
- 14:34from when we felt abandoned or overwhelmed or unloved.
- 14:38And the name exile parts comes because often that pain,
- 14:42as we've talked about before and as we talked about in last month's August
- 14:46reading, that the pain is too overwhelming in some ways. And
- 14:52in the IFS system,
- 14:54it's like the other parts of us in our internal family system push these exiles
- 14:59out of our consciousness awareness.
- 15:01And I think that there's a way to view it too of less like they're being exiled
- 15:05and more like they're being sent away to be protected,
- 15:07like this situation is rough enough and so we need to send these
- 15:12parts away. But it is a protective strategy.
- 15:15It's protecting us from being flooded by pain.
- 15:19And so these young parts in this system,
- 15:21these exiled parts often carry core beliefs,
- 15:24and these are core beliefs that we don't even realize we're carrying around.
- 15:28Sometimes core beliefs like I'm unlovable, I am unworthy,
- 15:33I'm not enough, it's my fault, I'm not safe.
- 15:36And so we know that these parts are coming back online because
- 15:41oftentimes these feelings will come up, these thoughts will come up. And
- 15:46I love this. In IFS,
- 15:48the goal is first we sort of check in with our protector parts
- 15:53and we're like, "Hey,
- 15:54can I have your permission to bring this exile back?" Because we want all of
- 15:57ourselves home. This is the soul retrieval aspect.
- 16:00And then what we do with exiles is we just witness their story.
- 16:04We hear their story so that they can unburden themselves from the extreme
- 16:09beliefs that they've been carrying that are just not true.
- 16:13And I love that term unburden. It's an unburdening.
- 16:16So if you experienced any times in August where, like I said,
- 16:21you were crying for days, I'm raising my hand,
- 16:24or you were able to see these beliefs,
- 16:27these unconscious beliefs you're carrying around,
- 16:29that is a kind of soul retrieval.
- 16:30You are retrieving and bringing home these parts of yourselves that have been
- 16:34really managing and dealing and holding this pain for you.
- 16:37And sometimes it's like
- 16:40the way things come in is the way they come out.
- 16:42So it's like if it came in with a lot of pain,
- 16:45sometimes we will have pain when they go out. And so
- 16:49we are unburdening them just by hearing them, by being with them.
- 16:53And there's a sense that you have already undertaken that in August.
- 16:57And like I said in August, it was sort of spontaneous.
- 16:59A lot of these were spontaneous.
- 17:02And I think eclipse season has really focused us, really focused us on that.
- 17:08But I want to bring your attention to this idea of exile as an
- 17:12ancestral concept, right?
- 17:15If we were to be exiled from the community,
- 17:18that would mean death because we as human beings survive in community.
- 17:23So when we're talking about welcoming home exiled parts,
- 17:26the parts of ourselves that we thought were unlovable,
- 17:29that we thought were too much when we welcome those homes, what does that mean?
- 17:33It means the opposite of death. It means life. It means life again.
- 17:37And so this profundity of this journey of soul retrieval,
- 17:41which we are still on moving into this month,
- 17:44the profundity of this is that the parts of ourself that felt unalive,
- 17:48that felt dead, that felt disconnected from reality, that felt numb,
- 17:52those start to dissolve because we bring back these parts and we feel alive
- 17:57again. That's the goal.
- 18:00That's why soul retrieval happens.
- 18:03And that's the ultimate path always that we're moving towards is integration and
- 18:07life living again.
- 18:10And so this might be continuing to happen for you this month,
- 18:14integrating the parts that you called back,
- 18:16integrating the really painful beliefs that they had been holding.
- 18:21And along with that comes this fierce protector,
- 18:26wooly rhino energy of really calling in
- 18:31this sense of empowerment and protection.
- 18:35So again,
- 18:36I love just thinking about rhinos and these are wooly rhinos in particular that
- 18:40yes, we're covered with hair. But I love thinking about them as
- 18:46these gentle giants really. But if you cross the line,
- 18:51you're going to get cut. You know what I'm saying? It's that kind of vibe.
- 18:54And so
- 18:56that's the kind of vibe my guides are asking us to have this month.
- 19:01You are a gentle, benevolent giant,
- 19:05but if someone crosses that line, it's like, no. That protector energy,
- 19:10there's a sense of it needing to be strong this month.
- 19:14Protect the time that you need, the space that you need,
- 19:16protect these parts that came back. As they're integrating,
- 19:19it can be a very tender time. There can be vulnerability to that.
- 19:24So protect yourself in the ways that you need to allow these parts
- 19:29and their visions, their potentials, their passions,
- 19:33their ability to access new futures,
- 19:35allow them to come online by giving them the protection that they need to settle
- 19:39back in this home.
- 19:40It's like when you're coming home after a long time being away,
- 19:44that is a tender time. So really give yourself this protection this month.
- 19:48And in particular, this idea of space,
- 19:51if you identify as being sensitive or empathic,
- 19:54space itself is a kind of protection. So asking yourself,
- 19:58what kind of space do I need this month?
- 19:59What kind of space do I need around myself?
- 20:02What kind of space do I need with my time?
- 20:04What kind of space do I need to feel my own energy? Protect your space.
- 20:09It's like that wooly rhino energy. Again,
- 20:11someone moves into your space and it doesn't feel good, it's like back off.
- 20:15So there's this energy here of protecting your space.
- 20:20And this is going to be really important for creative projects because as I've
- 20:23talked about, when these soul parts come back,
- 20:26we then end up having more creativity, having more vision,
- 20:30having more passion.
- 20:31And I do feel like there's going to be further deepening into our creative
- 20:36projects this month, and you're going to need space and time for that.
- 20:39So that is on offer.
- 20:40You're also in the midst of a time of identity shift and transformation.
- 20:45When these parts come back,
- 20:47they transform how we view ourselves in positive ways.
- 20:51We see ourselves more holistically. We understand ourselves at greater depths.
- 20:55And because of that, we're going to want different things.
- 20:57We're going to go about life in a different way.
- 20:59We're going to need different things.
- 21:01And so as this identity shifts and transformation take
- 21:06place, as you integrate and come into more wholeness,
- 21:09giving yourself that space and time and that protective layer is really
- 21:13important.
- 21:16It also came up this month that it was really going to be a really
- 21:21vivid opportunity to take some visionary time this month.
- 21:28I'm in the Northern Hemisphere and once we start tipping in a fall,
- 21:30I always feel it.
- 21:32It's this energy of the portal between the world starting to open and visions
- 21:36being able to be more accessible.
- 21:38And so we're kind of hitting this beautiful twining of the
- 21:43two, especially if you're in the northern hemisphere right now,
- 21:46but even if you're not, this twining of these parts coming back online,
- 21:50this soul retrieval happening along with the shift of the seasons.
- 21:54And the shift of the seasons is opening up this portal into this ability to
- 21:59download these new visions of the future.
- 22:01So for you to take some sort of visionary time this month,
- 22:05clearly I will be in the caves, but whatever is your version of the caves,
- 22:10maybe it's taking a day away to go hike and
- 22:15be in the mountains, or maybe it's going on a weekend retreat.
- 22:20Maybe it's simply turning off all the lights as soon as your kids go to
- 22:25bed and sitting in darkness every night for three nights in a row,
- 22:29whatever works for you and your schedule and your life at this time of your
- 22:33life,
- 22:33but taking some time to allow the visions to come in because I really do feel
- 22:38like there's going to be some visionary aspects to this month, like depth here,
- 22:43depth in our visions where you can download more information about your
- 22:48future.
- 22:48It's felt a bit like the past few months or even longer,
- 22:53I don't know,
- 22:53but it's felt a little bit like we kind of know the first few steps,
- 22:58but then everything else is like, I'm not totally sure what's happening next.
- 23:03And it feels like there's going to be this portal opening in September
- 23:09of being able to see more of that future,
- 23:11to really download that if you give yourself the space and the time to do that.
- 23:16And you're really going to be clearing the space for your own growth because one
- 23:20of the things that did come up for this month is endings and beginnings.
- 23:25We're at an ending and a beginning time. We're between seasons.
- 23:28One season is ending, another is beginning. The same is true in our lives.
- 23:32One season is ending and another is beginning.
- 23:34So just be aware of the endings and beginnings in this month and know that it's
- 23:38part of this greater cycle and give yourself this space and this visionary time
- 23:42to simply be with what is.
- 23:45It's a powerful thing when we retrieve these parts of ourselves that the
- 23:50parts of us that no longer are true kind of
- 23:55fall away.
- 23:56The veils we've been wearing kind of fall away and we're able to be ourselves
- 24:01more fully in this world,
- 24:02we're able to see ourselves more clearly and we're able to access more vision of
- 24:06our future.
- 24:07So I really do have a deep feeling about this month
- 24:12and what might be possible for us here. It feels profound,
- 24:17it feels powerful, it feels tender,
- 24:21and it feels like there's a lot of potential.
- 24:23So just really beaming out from my heart to yours,
- 24:28just encouragement and care during this time in whatever way you can to create
- 24:34that cave for yourself and to know that it's big what you've been doing,
- 24:39the processes that you've been in, it's big, it's important,
- 24:43and it's because the gifts that you have to bring to this world are big and
- 24:47important as well.
- 24:49And my guides really want me to
- 24:55express this in very clear terms that this month will be a month in
- 25:00which you feel that more deeply and really see that more deeply inside of
- 25:03yourself, not just as a cognitive concept,
- 25:05but really feeling the truth of you as someone who has deep gifts to bring to
- 25:10this world. Okay. I'm feeling emotional.
- 25:13That's how I know this material is coming in strong.
- 25:18So yeah, September,
- 25:21let's see what rolls ahead for us in this month.
- 25:24If you are loving this podcast,
- 25:27it would mean the world to me if you left a rating review.
- 25:30It truly helps this podcast reach more people.
- 25:33I read every single one and it just means so much
- 25:38to me.
- 25:39Thank you for the ways in which you're using your energy in
- 25:43this world to support this podcast, to support me,
- 25:47to support these readings just by giving it stars,
- 25:51that's sending energy and it just really means a lot. And yeah,
- 25:56if you haven't found your way yet to the Remember Why You're Here Substack,
- 26:00that's a really rich space for continued conversation and deeper
- 26:04writings and entry points into these podcasts.
- 26:08And so I would absolutely love to see you there. And in the meantime,
- 26:13just take deep care. We're crossing a threshold, it feels like,
- 26:17stepping into September.
- 26:19And so the more mindful we can be crossing a threshold,
- 26:24the more we can then be present for our arrival on the other side.
- 26:27And it does feel like we are arriving into a depth of
- 26:32another side. And I, for one,
- 26:35am really curious about what will unfold as
- 26:40we do this integration work,
- 26:41as we protect what is really such a beautiful, bright,
- 26:46soulful new beginning. So take deep care.
- 26:51May you find moments of reprieve.
- 26:54May you be able to create those visionary times in life,
- 26:58times in this month where you can just be open to what it is that wants to be
- 27:03communicated to you.
- 27:04And may the unfolding of this month help you remember that most important thing
- 27:08of all, why you're here.
