0:00Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with
0:02Molly McCord. Thank you so much for
0:04joining me today as we're going to
0:05discuss the major astrology of October
0:082026.
0:10As this month has some very clear themes
0:13around where we are evolving and growing
0:17as well as what we are resisting and
0:20where we have become too attached to a
0:23particular pattern, belief, emotion or
0:26expectation and it is limiting our
0:30growth and expansion. So we have a lot
0:33to cover in today's show but before I
0:36dive into all that just two quick
0:38programming notes here. First of all,
0:40there was no podcast last Monday,
0:42September 21st. So, I just want to share
0:46again that there was no episode on
0:47Monday because it is rare for me to miss
0:50doing an episode on Monday or Wednesday,
0:52but you did not miss one. And then the
0:54second thing to note is that we are
0:56aware that there is an issue with the
0:58volume and sound of the podcast on
1:01Apple, specifically on the Apple
1:04platform. That is something that we have
1:05investigated and looked into and it
1:08isn't something we can correct on my
1:10end. That is not something our
1:12production side has been able to fix. So
1:14I just want to acknowledge that yes, we
1:16are aware of it and if you are listening
1:18on Apple and you're struggling to hear
1:20this information, you can listen on a
1:23different platform and have a better
1:25experience such as on Spotify, Amazon or
1:29YouTube. So without further ado, let's
1:31get into what is coming up here in
1:33October where the month begins with this
1:36Venus retrograde that we've been
1:38discussing as Venus will station
1:40retrograde at 8° of Scorpio on October
1:452nd or 3rd depending on your location.
1:48This is a impactful and intense Venus
1:51retrograde that we will keep discussing
1:54throughout October and November. But
1:57keep in mind, we're already in the
1:58energy. We've been getting a preview of
2:01the themes, energies, people involved,
2:05and what you're meant to see beneath the
2:08surface, behind the scenes. Because this
2:12Venus retrograde is asking you to trust
2:15what you feel is off and to bring you
2:18into deeper questioning around why. Now,
2:21in Scorpio, it involves other people.
2:24Scorpio is the astrology sign associated
2:27with how we merge with others. We merge
2:31more emotionally, intimately,
2:33psychologically, and financially with
2:36others in Scorpio. And so, Venus is
2:38bringing our attention to where those
2:41merging energies are actually revealing
2:45what we didn't see before. This is a
2:47month of big revelations. This is a
2:51month that is going to bring about more
2:54of an understanding of what people are
2:56motivated by where they have a deeper
3:00need for something where they are
3:03operating from perhaps a very lower
3:06expression, a shadow expression. This
3:09can also bring up patterns and behaviors
3:12that have perpetuated throughout one's
3:14life because they've paid off. They've
3:16brought about some kind of reward or
3:19satisfaction. They've brought about
3:21something that has reinforced the
3:24behavior. But this Venus retrograde is
3:26going to change all that. It is that
3:28intense. It is that big. And because
3:31Venus retrograde in Scorpio brings us
3:34into the depths of our own psyche and
3:36psychological needs, we're all going to
3:39be needing more time to sit with
3:41something and feel into it. And we're
3:44also going to be questioning other
3:47people's behaviors, words, and actions.
3:49Now, I did a separate podcast for you
3:52discussing this first phase of Venus
3:54retrograde where she is in Scorpio until
3:59October 24th, 25th. Then she retrogrades
4:02back into Libra. For the majority of
4:05October, this Venus retrograde in
4:07Scorpio is digging deep and is requiring
4:10us to be very honest with what we're
4:13feeling and to trust it. And this means
4:17that Venus is also going to be showing
4:19you more of other people's choices,
4:22actions, and behaviors that perhaps were
4:24hidden, secretive, behind the surface,
4:27things that they didn't want you to see
4:29or know about. things that they wanted
4:32you to be in the dark around. And so
4:34this is a Venus retrograde that's going
4:36to expose a lot of people. And it's not
4:40only the Venus retrograde here. It's
4:42also because we're going to have Mercury
4:43retrograde in Scorpio that also deeply
4:47reveals what has been said, done,
4:50spoken, and communicated in the dark
4:53behind the scenes below the surface. And
4:56the reason why there's an intensity here
4:58to both the Venus retrograde and the
5:00upcoming Mercury retrograde which will
5:03start October 24th is that we have these
5:06planets here in Scorpio creating ongoing
5:09aspects to Pluto in Aquarius and Mars
5:14now in Leo. So right away we have these
5:17energies in a dynamic challenging aspect
5:22that isn't going to let things slide. It
5:25isn't a month where things are going to
5:28be just swept under the surface and then
5:31you skip along and disassociate and
5:34pretend nothing happened. This is a
5:36month that locks in to truth. Deep
5:40revelations are here and we're going to
5:42see it show up in people's behavior,
5:46words, and actions. Especially those who
5:49are trying to hide, who don't want to be
5:52seen. There's going to be big
5:53revelations around the charlatans, the
5:57fake friends, the frenemies. There's
6:00going to be big revelations around
6:02people who are not in integrity, who are
6:05not operating from a place of true
6:08empowerment and accountability. There's
6:11going to be stark revelations around
6:14people's true personalities that they
6:17can't hide behind. They can't hide
6:19behind the facades or the pretty words
6:22or what they're saying to your face, but
6:24doing something different behind your
6:26back. And so, this is going to be a time
6:30when we see more true character. And
6:32it's not going to be pretty, and it's
6:34not going to be flattering, but it needs
6:37to be revealed as part of our own
6:40ascension journey. and what the
6:42collective is moving through at this
6:44time that we're recognizing these are
6:46the energies that we don't want to
6:48persist that we don't want to
6:50continually perpetuate because it's not
6:53supporting or helping our ongoing
6:56evolution or even our individual growth.
6:59And this is a month when you could
7:01simply say, "I'm done. I'm done with
7:03this person. I'm done with this
7:05situation. I'm done with this
7:07experience." This could push you to a
7:09limit that requires you to make a very
7:12clear, empowered choice to let something
7:15go. And it will not be something soft or
7:19confusing. The energy here is going to
7:22be powerful, strong, and evident and
7:25require you to step into your truth and
7:29your power that could even be
7:31uncomfortable because maybe you haven't
7:34had this experience before. Maybe you're
7:36feel like you're being forced to sever
7:39ties. You're being forced to be complete
7:41with something, to walk away, be done,
7:44because the energy of October says there
7:46is no middle ground because now you are
7:48meant to fully own and love who you are
7:51without compromising or holding back the
7:54energy of yourself for anyone. And
7:57that's tricky during Libra season. And
7:59so when I look at the energetics here of
8:02October, there's some big questions that
8:04are arising when we examine this intense
8:08T-square that is persisting throughout
8:11most of the month. Again, that T-square
8:13involves Venus retrograde in Scorpio,
8:15Mercury in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, and
8:19Pluto in Aquarius. Now, Pluto stations
8:22direct the middle of the month at 3° of
8:25Aquarius, but Pluto is the powerhouse
8:28here that's signaling it is time to make
8:31some life changes that could be
8:34personally uncomfortable, but also
8:37divinely on time. And that's part of the
8:39pressure and intensity of October.
8:41Because with this Pluto energy
8:43interacting with the three personal
8:45planets of Venus, Mercury, and Mars
8:48through these intense aspects, there's
8:51parts of ourselves that we're seeing and
8:53feeling have to move forward. Otherwise,
8:56they continue to perpetuate old limiting
9:00patterns, attachments, and behaviors
9:03that keep you stuck in cycles you're
9:05meant to evolve out of. And so some
9:08questions to be aware of here in October
9:10with the strong fixed sign energy is to
9:13ask yourself what am I afraid I will
9:16lose if I allow this situation to change
9:20because you could be resisting change or
9:22making progress from a fear of loss from
9:26a fear of what is going to be removed.
9:28So understanding how you deal with
9:30change is key this month. This is also a
9:33time to ask yourself, what relationship,
9:36role, identity, or commitment have I
9:40outgrown? What have I outgrown in my
9:42life with other people that I'm now
9:44acknowledging is creating inner tension
9:48and I'm wrestling with how to make it
9:50better, how to make it improve. But
9:52maybe you're also realizing it cannot
9:54stay the same. And that's part of
9:56October. That's part of the intensity
9:58and force of October is that things are
10:01not meant to stay the same. So, where
10:04are you willing to embrace your own
10:07evolution and not remain locked in to
10:10previous dynamics that you've outgrown?
10:13Another question here is, what truth
10:15have I known for some time, but I've
10:18resisted acting upon it? And so, this
10:21could be something that you're now
10:23sensing you have to do something about.
10:25Maybe you've been on the sidelines.
10:28Maybe you've been just going with the
10:29flow. But the energy of October with
10:32these fixed signs is saying you've known
10:35something. You have felt it. It has been
10:37growing within you. It has been perhaps
10:40increasing in its flow and power and
10:45energy. And October wants you to make
10:48moves and to move the energy forward
10:51because staying in the same place is not
10:54going to be comfortable anymore. And so
10:56maybe you're acknowledging that there's
10:58a true desire here. There's something
11:01that you truly want, but you've been
11:03afraid to move towards it. You've been
11:05afraid to speak up. You've been afraid
11:07to express your heart. You've been
11:09afraid to say what's on your mind.
11:12You've been holding back what you've
11:14been feeling inside. But this pressure
11:17here is saying it's time to be
11:19courageous and brave in owning your true
11:24feelings. And that's part of this
11:26intensity of this month. And because
11:29there's so many aspects unfolding in
11:31October with these fixed signs, you're
11:35going to get reoccurring messages
11:37throughout the month of what you need to
11:40face, handle, and take care of. Cuz I'm
11:43seeing this as coming to the edge of
11:45something. And we're coming to the edge
11:47of parts of our own internal emotional
11:50world that have been afraid to do
11:52something new and different. The
11:53discomfort can be a beautiful
11:55acknowledgment of [clears throat] how
11:57much you've grown internally,
11:59personally, spiritually, and
12:01emotionally. You could feel this
12:03discomfort simply because it's
12:05validating that you are different now,
12:07but you're different from the inside
12:09out. It might not be visible to others.
12:12It might not be something anyone else
12:15even knows about, but you know it and
12:17you feel it because of the energies that
12:20have been unfolding throughout this
12:22year, but also perhaps anything you have
12:25been moving through that has required
12:28you to go deeper into your true self.
12:31And so October is requiring us now to
12:34meet our own emotional edges, to be more
12:38vulnerable, more open, more honest, more
12:41truthful. And that means we also have to
12:43acknowledge all the areas of life where
12:45we have not done so. And so you could
12:48find that this is a month you are
12:49dancing with your own shadow. You are
12:52dancing with previous versions of
12:54yourself. If you are dancing with an old
12:57part of your consciousness or old habits
12:59and patterns around how you would
13:01previously handle this same situation,
13:04let's say you're in a situation that
13:05you've been in before and you're like,
13:07"Well, this is how I handle this. This
13:08is how I show up. This is what I say."
13:10None of that's going to work here in
13:11October. None of that is going to fly.
13:14And you might find that you already know
13:16that. And that's the discomfort because
13:19the growth here is so intense that you
13:22could feel very raw and exposed. You
13:25could feel like this is so wildly
13:28uncomfortable that I don't want to do
13:29it. And maybe you find that you're
13:31freezing. You're freezing. You're
13:33paralyzed. And that's part of the
13:35lockedin energy of the fixed t-square is
13:38that you could be afraid to make the
13:40move. Afraid to try something different.
13:42Afraid. Afraid. Afraid. But that fear is
13:45an invitation into more of your own
13:48programming to examine what is this fear
13:52about and is it still true? Now the
13:54thing about fears is that they usually
13:57operate from a place of love. Meaning we
13:59have fears that show up to protect us to
14:03protect us from something harmful
14:05happening again. To ensure you don't go
14:08down the same path or that you don't
14:10repeat a lesson or maybe that fear is
14:13basically screaming danger, danger,
14:15you've been hurt before in this way or
14:18you're afraid to do this because you've
14:20never done it before. The fear can
14:22operate from a place of wanting to keep
14:25you safe and protected. But this is
14:28where we can consciously evolve the fear
14:30and say when you're trusting yourself,
14:33your intuition and your energy. When
14:35you're trusting what you feel, you are
14:37going to be led into new places, new
14:40experiences that are unknown. But you
14:43don't have to fear that when you're
14:46traveling with a deep connection to your
14:49intuition, your soul, your intelligence,
14:52your confidence. When you can trust that
14:55whatever happens, I will figure it out.
14:58I will know what to do. I will know what
15:00to say. I will know how to show up. I
15:03will know how to do what I need to do.
15:06And even though it could be very
15:08triggering as you are brought to this
15:10edge or you're in a place that's
15:13stirring up big intensity and deep
15:16emotions, there's always something on
15:18the other side that is going to catch
15:20you that is going to remind you it is
15:23safe to evolve in these energies. It is
15:26safe to transform into the next more
15:30empowered version of yourself. And
15:32October is going to bring you to those
15:35edges of your own psychological makeup
15:38and your own intuitive and emotional
15:41self that asks you to choose the unknown
15:44with a deep trust in the divine in your
15:48soul in something bigger that is already
15:51waiting for you on the other side. So,
15:54it comes down to how willing are you to
15:57choose your own transformation at this
15:59time? Because what's going to happen is
16:01you will see your shadow self first. You
16:03will see your previous consciousness,
16:07your previous choices. You may even see
16:10unresolved feelings and emotions come
16:12up. Cuz what I'm getting a visual of
16:14here is the backside of the heart down
16:17at the bottom. And there can be an
16:19accumulation of energies there. So maybe
16:22it's like unresolved pain, shame, hurt,
16:27resentment. I'm seeing it again at the
16:29bottom of the heart, but on the back
16:31side of it that's very private,
16:33internal, and hidden. And that's what's
16:35coming up to be purged. That's what's
16:38coming up to be evolved. And so I'm also
16:42feeling now that can be done
16:44energetically and visually if you were
16:47to work with the visualization of the
16:50violet flame of transmutation commonly
16:54associated with St. Germaine cuz I'm
16:56seeing this energy as being
16:59accumulative. It has built either
17:02throughout this lifetime or across
17:03lifetimes. And it can be so
17:05uncomfortable that it's the area of
17:07yourself you don't want to look at or
17:09the parts of your world you don't want
17:11to face. And for some people, they're
17:13going to have some very clear, obvious
17:16encounters with their own shadow, with
17:19their own actions and behaviors. And
17:22it's not going to be pretty. That's all
17:23part of this purge. You may even have
17:26people around you that you need to
17:29confront or have an important
17:31conversation with about their behaviors,
17:34actions, and choices. And this actually
17:37focuses heavily on women or the feminine
17:40because of the Venus retrograde. So for
17:42ease of conversation, I'm going to say
17:44women, but we all have feminine energy
17:47within us. So, this isn't simply about
17:50gender or sex, but the energy here is of
17:53the shadow feminine that hasn't fully
17:57evolved and healed. And so, there can be
18:00many expressions throughout October and
18:03November of unhealed, unconscious
18:06feminine energy acting out out of
18:09jealousy, envy, spite, resentment,
18:12greed, desire, competitiveness, and
18:15rage. These are very ugly energies here
18:18that are meant to surface and come up.
18:20And you might find that those energies
18:23are showing up around you or perhaps
18:25within you. And they are coming up at
18:28this time because they need to change
18:31and evolve. And that's where the
18:33opportunity lies, if you will. It's also
18:35where you're going to see very clearly
18:38people who are owning their work, who
18:41are doing their healing work, which by
18:44the way is an ongoing practice. It's
18:46never one and done. It's something that
18:48you keep returning to and working with.
18:52If you're on that ascension path and if
18:54you're committed to your own self-growth
18:57in this lifetime, you keep doing your
18:59shadow work. You stay aware of it. You
19:02dance with it. You embrace it. you honor
19:04it and you understand what it is, but
19:07then you also can see it more evidently
19:09in others who are not doing the same.
19:11And I'm not kidding, there's going to be
19:13some really ugly feminine energies going
19:15on that reveal these unhealed parts of
19:19self and it will be coming up through
19:21the relational dynamics. So this is
19:24basically the main theme of October. I
19:27know I haven't given you very many
19:29specifics about the astrology. That's
19:31also because when I look at all the
19:33aspects here in October, it's basically
19:36ongoing squares and oppositions between
19:39the personal planets in the fixed signs
19:42interacting with each other and with
19:44Pluto. And so that's really a strong
19:46emphasis throughout the month throughout
19:48Libra season. Then the sun enters into
19:52Scorpio on October 23rd, which is also
19:55when we have the Venus star point in
19:57Scorpio. And then the next day, Mercury
20:00stations retrograde at 20 degrees of
20:02Scorpio. And then we have a Taurus full
20:04moon on October 26 that also has a fixed
20:08t-square occurring in the early degrees
20:11of the fixed signs. And so this month is
20:14really stirring up the energies in the
20:18fixed signs from 0 to 9°. The first
20:23decken of the fixed signs being Taurus,
20:27Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are the
20:29energies that are being required to look
20:32more deeply at why you do what you do to
20:36analyze and understand where you are
20:38resisting change or forward movement
20:42because of fear, shame or doubt and
20:45where there are opportunities here to
20:48love and accept yourself more deeply.
20:51that includes and welcomes in any fears
20:56or uncomfortable emotions that have been
20:59difficult to reconcile. There's a lot of
21:02inner work here in October. That's one
21:05of the invitations of the month. But of
21:07course, we're going to be feeling and
21:09experiencing it with others. And so this
21:12brings me back to one of the main themes
21:14of this is a big month for your
21:16connections, friendships, partnerships,
21:19business collaborations, and all forms
21:21of interactions because you're going to
21:24be more aware of what's real and true
21:27and what's not. And it could even be
21:30quite disheartening at first to realize
21:33who has been wearing a facade or who you
21:36can't trust or who is trying to
21:39manipulate you in some capacity. But the
21:41universe is saying you need to see it.
21:43You've got to see it for what it is.
21:45You've got to be honest with yourself
21:46about it. You've got to be honest if
21:48it's you. If you're the one who is not
21:50trustworthy or you're the one who is
21:52manipulating others because the only
21:55control and power we truly have is
21:57within ourselves. And so if you're
21:59acknowledging something within yourself
22:01that you no longer want to perpetuate or
22:04participate in, this is the month when
22:06you could feel it's time to make this
22:08change. It's really time for me to
22:10approach this in a new way and to do
22:12this differently. These energies are
22:14contentious, uncomfortable, and
22:16disruptive, which honestly can be one of
22:20the biggest catalysts for growth. And so
22:23this is a month to ask, how am I willing
22:26and ready to grow out of old patterns in
22:31order to become that next higher version
22:34of myself? And throughout this month, we
22:36also have three planets in Aries. We
22:39have Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron
22:42returning now to Aries, bringing your
22:45attention to who you're intentionally
22:48becoming. These are slowm moving
22:51energies. Each of these planets in Aries
22:54is supporting a rebirth and allowing you
22:57to move further into your own
22:59self-actualization process, but it's
23:02through review and a better selfanalysis
23:06of who you've been and now who you're
23:08choosing to be. These energies require
23:11you to remain self-aware every day and
23:15for the long term. There's greater
23:17intentionality here. And so it's
23:19interesting that we have such a strong
23:21focus on these planets in Aries during
23:24Libra season, which lasts until October
23:2823rd because the sun moving through
23:31Libra is opposing each of these planets
23:35and asks us to check in with ourselves
23:38and how we're truly being ourselves in
23:41relationships, in conversations, in
23:44partnerships. And if you're willing to
23:47be more honest around who you are now
23:50and not try to simply keep the peace or
23:54maintain roles that have already been
23:57established. So that sun in Libra
24:00opposes Saturn retrograde in Aries at
24:0211° on October 4th. Then the sun in
24:05Libra will oppose Chiron retrograde in
24:08Aries at 28° October 21st. And so
24:11there's going to be this ongoing
24:13checking in on not only who you are now,
24:16but if these are relationships and
24:19connections that can still travel with
24:22you and meet you in the middle. And the
24:25same is true for you meeting others in
24:28the truth of who they are. Now to be
24:30honest, this Libra season does not
24:33support relationships staying the same.
24:36It supports people growing within their
24:40connections. It supports being more
24:42forthcoming around who you are, what you
24:45need, what you enjoy, what matters to
24:47you. Now, it requires each of us to own
24:51who we are and to bring that into
24:53connection so that we not only have more
24:56genuine compatibility and truthfulness
25:00in our exchanges, but it means that
25:02things don't stay the same. And again,
25:05that's just a big theme here in October.
25:07Our partnerships, collaborations, and
25:09connections are meant to be evolving
25:12with deep intensity during October and
25:16into November. And how they do so will
25:19depend on many factors including not
25:22only your own self-actualization and
25:24being able to share who you are, what
25:26you need, what you want, but also a
25:29personal ownership around how you handle
25:33your own shadow and the parts of
25:35yourself that are continuing to evolve.
25:38So there can be this interesting
25:41revelation this month around a pattern
25:44that you're being required to face and
25:46look at and then feeling like I'm ready.
25:49I'm ready to make this change. I'm ready
25:52to be a different version of myself now.
25:54I want this. I want to be more
25:57self-actualized and more self-aware. I
26:00want to show up with greater honesty
26:03around who I am. And that's a big part
26:05of the push here in October where
26:08nothing stays the same because we don't
26:11stay the same this month. And I feel
26:13that that could be very motivating, very
26:16inspiring as well. I know that as I'm
26:18discussing all this and sharing with you
26:20how the energies are intense, you could
26:23have that oh no feeling of oh gosh,
26:25what's going to happen or what am I
26:27going to see that I don't like? What is
26:30going to be fearful? I mean, we can go
26:32into those places and try to get a heads
26:35up on them, especially mentally, but I'm
26:37feeling like part of October is going to
26:41deeply exfoliate us and bring about a
26:44new level of rawness that is real and
26:48true and also quite freeing. But it's
26:50freeing because of what is over and
26:54done. What has been released and removed
26:58that's directly tied to your willingness
27:00to evolve. Because even though on this
27:03podcast we focus on spiritual growth,
27:06consciousness, personal transformation,
27:08we have to readily acknowledge there's
27:11people who have no interest in that.
27:12There's people who will not change or
27:14move an inch their whole life. There are
27:17people who are so locked in to who they
27:20are, what they want to do, how they want
27:22to live. They are not changing at all.
27:25They are not going to transform. And one
27:27of the wisest thing you can do is simply
27:29acknowledge that. Is simply be aware of
27:32the fact that this individual, this
27:34person is not going to change, is not
27:37going to evolve. And that is part of
27:39their free will. That is part of their
27:41sovereignty. And so it brings you back
27:43into, well, what choices do you need to
27:45make that continue to support who you
27:48are, what you need, and what you're
27:51choosing that may or may not align with
27:53them. And so October is a month where
27:55there's going to be some very big
27:58revelations around who we can travel
28:01with in our lives and who we cannot. And
28:03some of you, you are meant to bring
28:06forward these changes in dynamics.
28:09Whether it is personally, professionally
28:11or in your family or all the above, you
28:14are the one who brings about this
28:17understanding of yourself first and your
28:20choices first and how that changes the
28:23connections with others. And this has
28:25been beautifully described as a dance
28:28where if you've been dancing a certain
28:30way with someone your whole life. You've
28:32been ballroom dancing with them and
28:34that's what they know and that's what
28:35you know and that's how your
28:36relationship has been structured is
28:38through a ballroom dance and then all of
28:40a sudden look at you doing your break
28:42dancing moves and they're like what is
28:44going on here? We're supposed to be
28:46ballroom dancing and you're now doing
28:47head spins. Well, they're not going to
28:49be able to meet you in that space. But
28:52do you stop with your break dancing
28:53moves? Of course not. Look at you. You
28:56keep going with whatever new dance
28:58you're choosing, understanding that
29:00we're no longer matching up in our
29:02energetics or in our movements anymore.
29:05And that is how we are all individuals
29:08and on a sovereign journey. And so this
29:10is a month when that's going to be so
29:12evident. And it could even have been a
29:14long time coming. If you've been
29:16postponing something, if you've been
29:18holding back a decision, if you've been
29:20aware of a business agreement that's
29:22just not working and you've been trying
29:24to improve it or renegotiate it or
29:27you've been wanting to maintain it, this
29:30could be a month where you're like,
29:31"This cannot keep going on. This is not
29:34working and I've got to call a spade a
29:36spade." And that's where October is
29:38going to be very drastic as well as
29:41quite permanent because whatever you're
29:43deciding this month has long-term
29:46consequences. This is not soft easy
29:48energy by any means. There's intensity
29:51here where the universe is asking you to
29:54declare with the strength of your
29:57sovereignty and personal empowerment
29:59what you will accept in your life and
30:01what you will not. what you will honor
30:03and meet in the middle and what you will
30:05not. And so there will be big breakups
30:08and breakdowns. There will be permanent
30:10endings to situations that need to end.
30:14There will be things that can no longer
30:16persist. And there's people who are
30:18going to have some very dire
30:20consequences if they don't evolve and
30:22change. This is an all or nothing
30:25energy. And if you have planets or
30:27points in the first deck in of the fixed
30:30signs between 0 to 9 degrees of Taurus,
30:34Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, this is a really
30:37big month for your energy in those areas
30:41of your life. And chances are you've
30:42already been feeling it. It's been
30:45building and growing and now there's
30:48going to be developments that show up
30:51that have to be handled and has to be
30:53addressed. Venus is retrograde all
30:55month. Mercury retrograde begins October
30:5824th and then both Venus and Mercury are
31:02going to station direct together the
31:04middle of November, November 14th. Mars
31:08is in Leo all month traveling behind
31:11Jupiter in Leo. So this is the energy of
31:15being bold, courageous, confident, and
31:19willing to move ahead, willing to take a
31:22risk. And this could be what you're
31:24feeling. You could be sensing it's time
31:26for me to do this. Whatever it is for
31:29you, something new, something different.
31:31It's energy that's working favorably
31:34with the planets in Aries that are
31:37rebirthing and evolving your
31:40self-concept and your self-identity. And
31:42so, a positive energy here in October is
31:45that you could feel ready to take a risk
31:48to do something you've been thinking
31:50about, pondering, and sitting with. And
31:52now you're sensing it's push come to
31:54shove time. I've got to make moves on
31:56this. I'm gonna go for it. And it is
31:59supported. So there's a very fascinating
32:01dance here when you consider that it is
32:04time to move ahead and do something new
32:07because you're coming up against
32:09whatever has been locked in and
32:11resistant to change before. And it feels
32:13like there is a bigger energetic force
32:16moving us forward that is going to
32:19override the mind and all the fears that
32:23live in the mind. And that could be
32:26something too that you might be
32:28exhausted from is overthinking,
32:30overplanning, over contemplating. There
32:33could even be a restlessness like I'm
32:35seeing a jittery energy like jittering
32:37the knee or or the hands moving cuz your
32:41body is saying let's go. let's move,
32:43let's do this, let's sprint towards
32:45something and make it happen. But then
32:48the mind gets locked into the fears of
32:50the past, the fears of the unknown, the
32:52fears of moving out of a comfort zone,
32:54attachment to what has been, and then it
32:58can all easily spiral down. So
33:01throughout October, we're learning how
33:03to spiral up, how to transmute the
33:06emotions and fears into something
33:09higher, how to trust that you are being
33:12pushed through the ringer for a reason,
33:16and that it's cleansing out maybe
33:19energies and imprints from lifetimes
33:22that you have worked with and traveled
33:24with. And that's also why it runs so
33:26deep. Now, from a galactic perspective,
33:29this is wildly exciting. From a galactic
33:33perspective, we are looking at what
33:36parts of our emotional nature have kept
33:39us restrained from our own growth. We're
33:42looking at how much intensity has
33:46paralyzed us. And there also could be
33:48this very interesting emotional
33:52accumulation that has held you back from
33:55your own galactic expansion. And what I
33:58mean by that is that higher frequency
34:00galactic energies are not running off of
34:04emotions or fears. They're working with
34:07a higher level of consciousness that
34:09sees more perspectives, choices, and
34:12options that are actually more
34:14encouraging and love-based. And so if
34:16you were to look at it on a spectrum
34:18between extreme fears and extreme love,
34:21we are moving the needle more towards
34:24that 5D ascensionbased love frequencies
34:28by being very honest with ourselves
34:30around the fear and shadow emotional
34:34energies that have held us back. There
34:37is also great compassion in the galactic
34:40frequencies, great love and acceptance
34:44to support what you're moving through
34:46and what you're facing. I'm also feeling
34:49it as that compassion, love, and
34:51acceptance pouring down to help you
34:55resolve any difficulties and energies
34:59with others to let them go. Let them be,
35:03let them move away, let them voyage on
35:06their own if needed. It's supporting any
35:09separation energies that might be
35:12important at this time because
35:14separation and detachment can be very
35:16difficult especially for our hearts or
35:19for our energy fields when we prefer
35:22connection and we prefer healthy bonds
35:24and good attachments. There could be
35:26something that you need to call in from
35:29the higher frequencies that supports you
35:32in any separation experiences that are
35:36needed right now. And I'm seeing this as
35:38a beautiful high frequency crystalline
35:41energy that you can initiate and call in
35:46to support anything changing in your
35:50Libra and Scorpio experiences at this
35:53time. So if a business agreement needs
35:56to end, you would call in this energy to
36:00support the ending to happen for the
36:03best and highest good of everyone
36:04involved. If there is an ending or
36:07separation that's coming through in your
36:10personal life or in your family life,
36:12this is also the energy to call in to
36:15support you through whatever is ending
36:18and shifting. And that's because the
36:21intensity of October is not going to
36:23allow anything to perpetuate that is not
36:27healthy or good for you. And that will
36:29involve other people. And that's the
36:31domain of Libra and Scorpio. It's the
36:34other people in your life and in your
36:35world that you interact with. There's
36:38endings here that are timed for October
36:41and November because of this fixed
36:44T-square and because of what the Venus
36:47retrograde is revealing and bringing up.
36:50Now, keep in mind those connections that
36:53are solid, true, healthy, and good for
36:56you, they will strengthen. And that will
36:59be the case as well for any other
37:02business agreements, connections,
37:04friendships, and family dynamics that
37:06are healthy for you. They will continue
37:08on. They will get stronger, especially
37:12in the higher frequencies. But a big
37:14theme here in October is that it will be
37:17evident and so deeply uncomfortable
37:19which ones are not a match and which
37:22ones you need to honestly assess without
37:26trying to sugarcoat it or be too nice.
37:29Not that it's about being rude or being
37:31mean at all. It's about just
37:33understanding the truth of a situation,
37:36the truth in the energetics and what
37:38matches up and what does not. So allow
37:41October to be a month that shows you
37:44what you clearly need to know. And it's
37:46going to communicate this to you through
37:49your feelings, your emotions, and your
37:52intuition. You're going to feel it and
37:54sense it before you perhaps logically
37:57understand it. But the themes are going
38:00to keep coming around so that you see
38:02what you need to see and you know what
38:04you need to know. Ultimately, October is
38:07a month that can catapult you forward.
38:10The faster you're able to acknowledge
38:12something or work with it honestly, the
38:15more you will feel that shift happen
38:19drastically. So, this means that for
38:21many people, you've been doing the work.
38:24You've been aware of your own evolution
38:26and your own growth. I feel like October
38:29is going to catapult you in some
38:32beautiful ways based on the frequencies
38:36you've been accumulating, meaning what
38:38you've been developing and working on
38:40internally and personally. This is a
38:43month where you're going to really feel
38:45that powerful renewal and how it moves
38:48you forward. And you're also going to be
38:51beautifully validated for the growth
38:54you've been doing. It's going to be a
38:56life-changing month for some people. It
38:58really is. Now, I know I didn't go into
39:01all the specifics of the astrology in
39:03today's show simply because it mostly
39:06revolves around the three personal
39:09planets all interacting with Pluto. And
39:11I will go into the specifics in the
39:13Wednesday podcast episodes where we
39:17discuss the weekly energies. But in
39:19terms of the overview of October, you
39:21want to be aware of three houses in your
39:25chart where you have early degrees of
39:28Scorpio, early degrees of Leo and early
39:30degrees of Aquarius as this is going to
39:34highlight for you the tension and
39:36pressure that is requiring evolution.
39:39You also want to look at where you have
39:42Leo energies and Aries energies as this
39:45is where the new momentum, growth, and
39:49self-awareness is being strengthened and
39:52energized. And even though it's Libra
39:55season for the first 3 weeks of the
39:58month, we only have strong Libra energy
40:01during the upcoming Libra new moon on
40:03October 10th at 17°. And this is also an
40:08interesting Libra new moon because it's
40:09ruled by that Venus retrograde. So it
40:12means that there's going to be some new
40:14decisions and conversations that are
40:16needed during that Libra new moon, but
40:19you're going to feel the energy of this
40:22fixed T-square as being highly
40:25influential around those new starts. So
40:27again, I will discuss that more on the
40:29Wednesday podcast episodes, but I just
40:32wanted to give you a heads up that
40:34October is a deep, intense month of
40:37personal growth, evolving your internal
40:40world, evolving your emotional world,
40:43being ready to be brutally honest with
40:46yourself around where you're at in some
40:48areas of your life, as well as to
40:50acknowledge other people in your life
40:52and whether or not you're on the same
40:54path. if there's energies you can
40:56reconcile and if you can match up with
40:58them or if you're understanding and
41:01seeing what is over and complete. It is
41:04a good month to consciously work with
41:06the violet flame of transmutation to
41:09support you in transmuting energies and
41:12emotions as they arise. It's also a good
41:15month to have your own private rituals
41:18and practices to work with your nervous
41:22system and emotional body because of the
41:25intensity of these energies. I even have
41:28on my website four free guided
41:31meditations that are available to you to
41:34listen to as needed to support your
41:36energy. They are short. Some are only 5
41:39and 10 minutes long. They're designed to
41:41help you connect with your energy to
41:44listen to yourself and to consciously
41:46work with your nervous system and your
41:48emotions through the chakras as well as
41:52with your astrology chart. So, I'll put
41:53the link here below the podcast. That's
41:56for the free soul bliss guided
41:59meditations that are available on my
42:01website. And if you already have them in
42:04your online account, just a reminder to
42:06log on and listen to them if they would
42:08be useful for you right now. As always,
42:11thank you so much for joining me for
42:12today's show. I'll be back on Wednesday
42:14where we will dig in even more to these
42:17transiting aspects of our times and
42:19continue to move through these energies
42:22together. Thank you so much for joining
42:24me. I'm grateful as always for your
42:26energy and your time and I'll see you
42:28back here soon.
