“As the sun moves through Libra before crossing into Scorpio’s shadowed terrain, October asks us to trade politeness for truth. In the Northern Hemisphere, the days shorten and the light turns amber and low; below the equator, the world stretches open into spring warmth. Something in the air sharpens our attention, pulling us away from small talk and toward what actually matters. With Venus retrograde from the month’s opening days and Mercury joining her late in the month, this is no season for rushing. Let October be a place to look honestly at what you’re holding onto and what’s ready to be composted, released, or simply acknowledged.”
Keep in mind that the last Mercury In Retrograde of 2026 will happen October 24th-November 13th.
During this Mercury In Retrograde season, may we do a deep dive to look back into our rearview mirrors to examine where we were back zen, and then contemplate the direction we want to move forward in right tao. Check out the new podcast above and the original oldie but goodie below:
May All Beings Be Free From Suffering & Awaken to Inner Peace,
