Every autumn, as the air cools and daylight fades, nature itself seems to pause… Suspended between vitality and rest. This threshold marks the descent into the darker half of the year, when what once thrived in the warmth of summer sun begins to return to the earth as winter approaches. Within this rhythm of dying and becoming, we find the…
We are currently making some shifts in order to better align with our values. We appreciate you patience while supply and distribution changes take place. Thank you!
And an immediate opportunity to learn how consciously we know how to use it.
The lesson arrives quickly. On October 2, Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo and then Pluto Rx in Aquarius, while Mars in Leo trines Neptune Rx in Aries before opposing Pluto Rx in Aquarius the following morning. Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio between these movements, turning questions of value, desire, loyalty, and investment inward just as our outward agency encounters its first resistance. October does not ask us to become less decisive in response, but it will ask us to notice what our decisions reveal. Action produces information, but friction exposes dynamics that confidence alone cannot see, and experience gives us something our original intentions could not have known.

Here at Onesce Wellbeing, we enjoy utilizing time-honored traditions to attune ourselves to esoteric, metaphysical, and spiritual considerations. However, you will not find purely traditional or modern interpretations among our resources.
Instead, we consider the symbolic language of astrology as one example of humanity’s timeless preoccupation with Nature and pattern recognition. Therefore, we see it as a tool for connection, rather than a system of personality traits or prediction.
Still, you can learn more about how the Hellenistic understanding of the Zodiac as an interpretation of the Sun/Earth’s light cycle closely matches up with other natural cycles in Nature; or listen to mayryanna‘s unique intuitive, real-time interpretations of astronomical events; and even explore them via our proprietary spacio-temporal syntheses on the Onescent Dial.
Regardless of if or how you decide to explore the movements of the heavens for yourself, we hope you’ll find our unique points of view and considerations useful in applying this ancient practice to your modern life.
As the final harvest gives way to winter’s quiet reign, Samhain invites us to gather at the threshold between endings and beginnings. Traditionally observed from October 31st into November 1st, this ancient Celtic festival marks a turning of the seasonal wheel and has long been a time to honor our ancestors, celebrate the earth’s abundance, release what has completed its cycle, and welcome the mysteries of the darker half of the year.
This Samhain, explore a collection of seasonal rituals, meaningful traditions, and practical ways to celebrate. From preparing a warming wassail and creating offerings for the living world to honoring the departed, exploring remembrance traditions across cultures, and beginning a Year and a Day of devotional practice, each invitation offers another way to participate in the season. Whether through celebration, contemplation, stewardship, or remembrance, may we find meaningful ways to honor what has been, nourish what remains, and welcome what is yet to become.
As we’ve been exploring the ways time-honored traditions can help us to attune our energy (and lives) more intentionally, our founder mayryanna found herself falling deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole. The same pattern of natural change kept appearing, again and again.
Eventually, she couldn’t ignore them anymore and began to try and make sense of their intrinsic harmony. This was when Cycles in Harmony was conceptually born, but it would still be years before it blossomed into the cosmology behind Onesce Wellbeing.
Now, the cosmology is in its earliest stages of theoretical application and testing, largely through the flow of content provided website and the proprietary spacio-temporal syntheses of the Onescent Dial. We are very excited to see all the many ways it can be applied, as well as to continue developing it as a living-system of appreciating awareness.
If you are also exploring the potentials of energetic orientation and alignment for yourself, we hope you’ll find our resources and unique considerations helpful. Additionally, we’d love to hear about your thoughts and experiences with regards to the application of Cycles in Harmony to your life as well.

Have you ever felt like your life has as much to do with where you are and when you are as it does who you are? Have you ever wondered how astrology might apply differently in locations outside of the Northern Hemisphere?
Have you every considered how astrology might have adapted over time if it was still balanced by science and math? Well, mayryanna has, and it’s ultimately resulted in the web application: The Onescent Dial.
Rather than utilizing decades of observation and study to only produce secondary or reflective experiences, she’s created this interactive interface to help everyone everywhere begin tuning in to the rhythms of the cosmos (our planet Earth especially).
Behind the scenes… Or more precisely, screens—there is a peaceful army growing in rank. You won’t find us shouting at or arguing with anyone, we’re probably not watching the news, and we’re not necessarily a part of any strict demographics.
We’re simple people with minds brilliant enough to see the magick in the world and humble enough to take our time to enjoy what we can of it. We are peacemakers, and we understand that begins with ourselves, so we show up to do the work every day.
We’ve been through enough to know that the lessons are always changing, and that the “right” answer always needs proper context. So, we take our time to not only set goals that are aligned with where we want to go, but also exactly where we’re at.
We rest when we need rest. We let ourselves laugh often. We tend to our responsibilities gratefully, and we appreciate our blessings often. No matter the size of our families, bank accounts, or friend groups; we all have one thing in common: We’re living from the inside out, on purpose and meaningfully.
