OCTOBER'S SOULFUL SHIFTS: INTO THE DEEP

September was such a powerful month of transition and transformation that I cannot begin to step into October without first honoring the significance of what has just unfolded.

I was blessed to attend an extraordinary spiritual retreat and workshop led by the amazing Colette Baron-Reid in Santa Fe, NM, a place that is an energy vortex in its own right.

To sit in that sacred land during eclipse season, right in between the Lunar Eclipse on September 7th and the Solar Eclipse on September 21st, felt like perfect divine timing. The retreat became a container for deep reflection, release, and renewal. Surrounded by like-minded souls, I felt layers of old energy begin to shed, making space for fresh insight and a renewed sense of direction. It was not only a learning experience but also a heart-opening reminder of the power of community, Spirit, and showing up fully for our own growth.

As I carry these experiences forward, I feel more grounded, more connected, and more attuned to what is unfolding, both in the skies and within myself.

Now, as October begins, the universe meets us with equally potent energy. On October 6th, Mercury shifts into the deep waters of Scorpio, inviting us to move beyond surface-level conversations and into truths that are raw, real, and transformative. That same day, the Aries Full Moon lights up the sky, highlighting themes of independence, courage, and the need to act from the heart. Together, these energies invite us to balance deep reflection with bold new beginnings, asking us to speak our truth and step forward with clarity.
