As the days grow darker and the air grows cooler, we step into the Yin half of the year—a season of slowing down, replenishing, and turning inward. Just as the trees release their leaves, October invites us to embrace the energies of letting go and shedding. This natural process may stir the emotion of grief, a reminder of the beauty in cycles of release and renewal.

The Full Moon in Aries on October 6th reignites our passion and purpose. Its fiery energy can help us reconnect with the spark that lights us up, while also calling us to balance that fire with grounding presence. Amid the detailed, earthy influence of Virgo season, this is an opportunity to harmonize bold action with thoughtful refinement.

Mid-month, New Moon in Libra on October 21st, we are supported by themes of balance and equanimity. Just as autumn winds swirl unpredictably, we are reminded to find stillness within the movement—to root ourselves in practices that steady the body and calm the mind.

We close the month with Samhain on October 31st, an earth-centered holiday marking the thinning of the veil between worlds. This sacred time invites us to honor the unseen realms—our guides, ancestors, and the Divine—and to deepen our connection with the mystery that moves through all things.

This month, may you find nourishment in slowing down, strength in releasing what no longer serves, and magic in the spaces where the seen and unseen intertwine.
