Happy October, my divine collective!✨🍂

The air feels a little crisper, the veil a little thinner, and the leaves are starting to fall! With these comes the sense that change is swirling all around us. October seems to be a magical invitation to lean into the mystery of transformation while honoring the cycles we’ve already moved through. Before we dive into the guidance this month holds, let’s take a moment to look back on September and the lessons it left us with…

September Reflection

September’s energy was rooted in the Power Deck card Gathering, inviting us to transform newfound insight into lived wisdom as fresh chapters unfolded.

As we move into these new chapters, it feels more important than ever to embrace them fully—while releasing the shadows, burdens, and wounds of the past. Many of us have felt hesitant or even fearful of starting fresh: beginning new jobs, changing careers, moving, or opening ourselves to new relationships.

For me, the energy has been most present in my romantic life, while also guiding me to reflect more deeply on how I view my own capabilities, self-worth, and abundance. Dating someone new has reminded me of how worthy I’ve always been, and that life doesn’t always have to be hard. I can let go of limiting beliefs and old mindsets because they were never mine to hold.

Instead of rereading the chapters where I’m burnt out, stressed, and anxious, I’m choosing to rewrite my story with balance, ease, love, and true reciprocation—not just from others, but also from myself.

What did September uncover for you?

What new chapter are you opening yourself up to now?

And what are you willing to release to fully embrace it?

Collective Reading For October

Collective tarot reading for the month of October in 2025

October may not unfold according to your plans—or the timing you expected—with the 9 of Cups and 4 of Wands both reversed. But with Strength and the Queen of Wands showing up, Spirit is encouraging you not to be discouraged. Trust divine timing, lean on your inner strength, and keep your confidence steady when it comes to your goals. The energy here is strongly influenced by fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius).

The 4 of Wands points to themes of travel, community, home, stability, and celebration. A reminder: delayed does not mean denied. And the funny part? A psychic actually gave me this exact same message months ago…

The 4 of Wands is further clarified by Move On reversed. Certain mindsets, habits, or people from your past may be trying to creep back into focus. With Narcissist reversed, Fulfilling a Fantasy reversed, Manifest reversed, and Keeping a Promise, it’s crucial that you do not sabotage—or allow anyone else to sabotage—your goals and vision for your life.

This month feels like a pop quiz: are you ready to make choices that are more aligned with your growth, or will these triggers and delays cause you to retreat into old patterns? With the 9 of Cups reversed clarified by Getting a Room reversed (hotel, motel, business suite, pleasure), this slowdown could also manifest in your career or your work-life balance. Don’t let obstacles distract you or knock you off course.

Remember the promises you made to yourself: to release old habits, gain discernment, make wiser choices, avoid toxic relationships, and honor your own worth. This is a necessary step to solidify your next chapter. You just need to keep choosing it for yourself, day by day.

The collective advice for this month is simple: keep following your passions. No matter what challenges arise, keep moving forward!!

When you discover something that excites and motivates you, keep pursuing it. Anything truly worth having won’t always come easily or without effort. As doubts and fears resurface, remind yourself that you’re safe and capable, and that you don’t have to give up the progress you’ve already made to get to where you want to be.
