We are living within a turning point right now. Not only symbolically, but structurally. Today is September 30, 2026 and tomorrow marks October 1, 2026 – the beginning of a new month, new quarter, and new chapter. What we've known is dissolving at a pace none of us were prepared for. And underneath the dissolving, something else is forming: who we're becoming.
I was speaking with a close friend recently and we found ourselves talking about turning points. There was something about hearing “turning point” that made me curious so I contemplated the definition deeper.
turning point | "a specific, important moment when a situation, story, or a person's life starts to change in a major way."
The Equinox is a Turning Point
Last week, Tuesday, September 22, marked the exact balance point between light and dark, then the turning point began. Life is a series of cycles and transitions. Nature doesn't deliberate about it. It doesn't wait until conditions feel safe. The turning point simply happens, and everything reorganizes around it.
Your life has its own turning points. Moments where the old habits, old thresholds for what you'll tolerate in your body, old identities — stops being sustainable, and a new ratio begins whether or not you've consciously chosen it.
Transition as Turning Points
I recently attended a retreat on transitions — navigating change with more ease, trust and faith and less resistance, doubt and fear. The premise was simple: change is the only certainty, the only guarantee in this universe.
The more we resist the changes, the turning points, the harder life feels. The more we let ourselves be turned — even before we understand what we're turning toward — the faster we arrive.
Full Moon in Aries – the turning point into the final three months of 2026
Last Saturday we had a full moon in Aries which acted as another powerful turning point. Aries energy doesn't ask permission — it initiates. And it's arriving right as we enter the last quarter of this year, the stretch where whatever's been quietly building either gets named and acted on, or gets carried into 2027.
Turning Points in the Body
There's a specific version of this I want to name, because I think it's the one many of you are living right now: there comes a point where what you've been doing to manage your health simply stops working the way it used to. The habits that used to hold you don't. The willpower that used to override the fatigue doesn't. It's not that you're doing it wrong. It's that you've turned, and your old strategy belongs to who you were before.
We are all seeking another way.
Your Health Reclamation: the greatest turning point yet
Most of the clients I work with find me after they've already been to every specialist. After the labs came back "normal" while nothing about how they felt was normal. After they'd started to wonder if reclaiming their health was even something they had authority over anymore — or if they'd just have to manage the decline.
I know that place because I lived it. In my early twenties, a health crisis pulled me off the path I thought I was on and put me in front of dozens of doctors, practitioners, specialists. I ran out of faith in the system before I found what actually worked — an eight-year, self-directed journey back to my own body, on my own terms.
Contemplation:
What are you currently experiencing in your body, your health, and/or your life that you is a turning point?
This is your turning point, the greatest moment in your story yet. How will you choose to live it?
