This week brings a soft but steady shift, highlighting what your intuition has been trying to show you. Pay attention to subtle cues such as heightened sensitivity, a message to slow down, moments of déjà vu, or a past memory gently passing through. Be kind to yourself and keep your schedule a touch looser if you can. Carve out small, quiet moments to ground and center your energy. This can be as simple as taking a few deep breaths, enjoying a cup of tea, going outside for a short walk or sitting in stillnesss for a few minutes before bed.
By the end of the week, you’ll feel lighter and more aligned as you reconnect with a pace that honors your unique inner rhythm.
The upcoming new moon in Scorpio is quietly steering the energy behind the scenes this week. To find out more, see my previous post for details.
This New Moon in Scorpio initiates a deep reset around power dynamics, intimacy, possessions, personal truth and release. Closely aligned with Mercury retrograde, and opposing Uranus in Taurus, a sudden insight or internal shift around this time, may stir up normally still waters. But should something be revealed, it’s because it needed to be. It’s time.
Nicely supported by Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, this new moon helps to begin a new cycle by inviting us to surrender what’s expired, or no longer fits, to make space for something more suitable to come in.
Have you had the sudden urge lately to “purge”? This could show up as cleaning out your closet, organizing your home, having a heart-to-heart talk with a significant other, getting rid of junk food or alcohol, streamlining expenses, etc. This energy encourages us to identify the things that distract or disorient us, and make beneficial changes to bring ourselves back into alignment.
For the past few years, as a collective, we have been buying, consuming, and accumulating and yet, we are not fulfilled. There’s always a new trend, the latest gadget, or the next best person, place, or thing right around the corner that promises to be just what we need. And yet, somehow, once the dust settles, we are left feeling a bit…. deflated.
But anytime the moon is in Scorpio, she is not playing. She is deep, she is direct. She asks us to explore our psyche and ask the tough question: What is missing in our life that is causing us to participate in these counterproductive cycles? Are you ready to engage with your world differently? Are you ready to divest yourself of the “junk” that spreads you thin, and instead choose to invest in a more intentional way of being?
The vibe for this transit is clear; release the junk, reclaim your sovereignty. Commit or recommit to what truly matters. Remember, you have the power at any time to edit or rewrite your story. And this new moon provides the perfect opportunity to do just that.
The tarot cards that correspond to this new moon are Death and Seven of Cups. Here’s the quick breakdown:
Death (Scorpio): Endings clear the way for profound transformation. Let go of what no longer fits, release old patterns, and make space for rebirth. Change may feel intense, but it’s necessary and ultimately liberating.
Seven of Cups: Illusions, desires, and possibilities. Be mindful of choices that seduce your heart but may not serve your soul.

The 11/11 portal symbolizes expansion and manifestation, while today’s last quarter moon invites reflection, release, and integration. Think of this energy as the bridge between what was and what’s becoming.
Let go of the old stories, the self-doubt, and the timelines, people and places that require you to shrink to fit in. Make space for what’s meant for you. The real, authentic you. Do you feel it? The shift is already happening.
Affirmation: “Today I align with my highest timeline. I release resistance and open the door to miracles, blessings and opportunities that I am ready to receive. As I say it, so it is.”
I hope everyone had a wonderful October! Last month was such a whirlwind, I can’t believe it’s over! This month, I decided to offer you all a pick-a-card tarot reading, as I have not done one of these for a while. Take a deep breath, focus on the three cards below and make your selection. Then scroll down to read your advice for November! Enjoy!
Card One (Smoky Quartz): Four of Swords. Okay gorgeous, I’m going to give it to you straight. The Four of Swords comes after the not so pretty Three of Swords (ouch) in the tarot deck. Have you been through a tough time recently? Or maybe you are on the precipice of a change? This card is all about the three R’s – rest, retreat, and recharge. This month, protect your peace, let the dust settle and take some time to recover before making your next move.
Card Two (Tigers Eye): Ace of Pentacles Alright here’s the deal, literally. The Ace of Pentacles is showing up with a fresh opportunity. Most likely involving money, career, or other practical matters. Could it be a job offer, loan approval, raise, or promotion? Maybe. It’s also a green light to start a new project or side hustle that could grow into something substantial over time. Keep your eyes open this month for new ways to expand your resources.
Card Three (Amethyst): Three of Cups Raise your glasses! The Three of Cups is a reminder to savor good times with the people who lift you up. Reach out to family, friends, or your local community. This month is all about connection. The holidays are coming up, making it the perfect time to recharge your spirit by creating memories with those you care about. And if you don’t have a “tribe” right now, this is your sign to start seeking out new connections. Someone, somewhere, is waiting to celebrate life with you.
I hope you found the above advice helpful. Have a great month! ~Christine

How is everyone doing? We’ve made it through the September eclipses and wow, weren’t they something else? Some of you may be grieving what’s been lost or left behind, while others are celebrating fresh new beginnings and finally taking a long-overdue deep breath. The atmosphere, both individually and collectively, has been intense, to say the least. September dismantled our psyche, piece by piece, inviting us to examine what stays, what must go, and why. Eclipses always facilitate change. Some fragments of the past may still be lingering, leaving us feeling raw as we hold on for just a little longer. But as they say, time waits for no one; and here we are, stepping into the final quarter of 2025.
October traditionally is a month of magic and mystery, where the veil between shadow and light is not so easily defined. The standard rules and constructs of modern society also loosen their boundaries as the collective celebrates their darker side by giving it physical form through costumes, masks, spooky décor, and alter-egos. All under the guise of “good fun,” yet rooted in something far deeper. We lower our inhibitions and with a mischievous smile, invite the things that go bump in the night to come dance with us. A sense of mystery and delight replace criticism and perhaps even a little bit of fear, as we cavort with the “spirits of the season”.
This October however, echoes with more significance. It feels like a continuation of the story shaped by last month’s powerful astrological transits. Like Persephone’s descent or Ereshkigal’s dominion in the underworld, we too are asked to bravely walk into the dark to piece together the fragments of ourselves that were unearthed by September’s eclipses. This is not a passive journey. With each step, we reclaim what is ours and lay down intentions for what is to come. We are weaving endings and beginnings with the same thread.
2025 is a “9” year in numerology, a number that represents completion, wisdom and the liminal space between death and rebirth. It’s a similar “vibe” to the theme of October. The final “dark months” of this year serve as a reminder that descent, while not always pleasant, is not destruction. It signals transformation. Every rebirth begins in darkness. What we resolve and/or leave behind now fertilizes the ground for what’s next, clearing space for renewal and the first signs of a new cycle to emerge. Personally, I am excited to see what the next chapter brings!
As we move through October, certain crystals and herbs can be especially supportive for grounding, protection, and renewal. Think of them as tools to steady your energy, clear away what no longer serves you, and strengthen your intentions. Here are some allies you may want to work with this month.
Crystals:Wear as a necklace or bracelet, incorporate them in a crystal grid or carry them with you.

For those who live in the southern states, fall and spring are the prime seasons for hummingbird visitors!
I’ve noticed increasing numbers of these little jewels at my feeders lately.
I always stick with homemade nectar instead of store-bought. Here’s why:
1) It doesn’t spoil as fast-lasts longer. 2) No harmful artificial dyes. 3) Economical. 4) The hummingbirds love it!
Be sure to clean the feeder before each refill, as dirty/moldy feeders can cause illness. Happy birdwatching!
In many cultures, birds are seen as messengers from the divine. Hummingbirds in particular, symbolize joy, love, and resilience, reminding us to appreciate life’s beauty and welcome positive change. ❤🌼🕊️
