Hello, darlings! Welcome to the October 2023 Newsletter. Let's hop right into some church announcements:
Follow me @danaishathediviner
Your girl is officially an ordained minister and has some new services. Check it out!
Church announcements are now over, haha. Now, let's get into some astrology for the month!
Astrology: The Sun is in Libra, and we will talk a lot! Libra Season is here to help us get serious about what we need from people, realize how we can mature, and make the right call about our lives! Conversations that were avoided will be had, and decisions will be made! These are some things or major transits happening in October:
October 2nd: Mercury opposite Neptune. We may need to decide between what is fantasy and what is practical. It will be easier said than done. However, you may find yourself somewhere in the middle.
October 3rd: Mercury trine Pluto. This may be the moment where we all get a little deep! The collective may deal with intense mental energy as we must explore the depths of our mind and soul. This will bring positive new insights about who we are.
October 8th: Mars square Pluto. This Mars energy is meant to erupt, but not how you think since Mars is in Libra. Whatever bubbles up to the surface will be dealt with diplomatically. It's okay to confront what you need to as long as you face it with wisdom.
October 10th: Venus opposite Saturn. Some new relationship tensions may arise, but don't worry! This challenge may look like facing hard facts and allowing maturity to manifest in a way that calls for us to grow.
October 13th: Mars trine Saturn. There is a new road where we have more faith in ourselves, and resilience manifested through maturity. It's time to work on ourselves and what we care about!
October 14th: Solar Eclipse in Libra. Our relationships and values are transforming. Some karmic energy surrounds love and sexuality. This is considered a South Node Solar Eclipse, so you may try an old thing in a new way, or we will move on from whatever has expired.
October 21st: Sun square Pluto. There is a turning point now that we've addressed some challenging issues and concerns.
October 22nd: Venus trines Jupiter. Welcome to a new beginning that feels clearer. The keyword is surrender. New things are coming in.
October 24th: Sun trine Saturn. We are improving at communicating our feelings or needs. And for the first time, it may feel terrific to do so!
October 28th: Lunar Eclipse in Taurus & Mars opposes Jupiter. Whatever created conflict in our lives earlier this month is lifting for good! Resolutions are here, and cycles are successfully ending.
October may invite some moments where communication may be uncomfortable. Still, those awkward conversations bring enlightenment and emotional maturity and set us up on the path we are ultimately meant to take. Remember that just because something may not feel good does not mean it is not the right decision. Expect a breakthrough. Expect a transformation.
Now let's get into your tarotscopes.
Happy birthday, Libra! We are officially in your season, and the tarot card linked to your sign is "Justice." The Justice card speaks to a time of balance, objectivity, and taking the time to "judge" things correctly. Libra is an air sign known for balancing the scales and desires fairness and harmony. Libra reminds us that wisdom can go a long way, especially in legal and personal matters. Why create an enemy when you can have a friend? This is the time to review what needs our attention and ensure that leases or contracts are appropriately signed. Relationships or ending relationships may be necessary to us now as we want to make the right decisions so everyone's needs are met. Remember, this is a time for harmony, and balance is critical! Regarding career and money, you may have a few tests, but it will clarify what success and progress look like to you. More significantly, what does it mean to you? This Libra season will require us to examine our values with the understanding that aligning with what will be the best for all involved in the long run guarantees reward, progress, and success! Take time to make decisions and receive the clarity that you need. In other words, there is no need to rush. Please read the tarotscope of your Sun, Moon, and Rising:
Aries: 2 of Wands
Did you feel that shift, my little first house? We just had a Full Moon in your sign, and like Drake, nothing was the same. Haha, October may call you to adjust your perspective regarding people, places, or things. Who or what was interesting may feel dull. What you wanted may have changed, or maybe it's you. Perhaps you are changing. Don't overthink it, love.
Taurus: King of Wands & Page of Swords
People tend to underestimate the random change a Taurus may have when they officially decide they are no longer feeling something. In other words, Taurus seems predictable until they're not! This month, you may think of new ways to communicate your creative side. You've been wondering when this moment would occur, and it is finally here! What new clothes would you like to wear? What new things do you have to say? Focus on who you're becoming, and don't worry about people who think you've changed.
Gemini: Page of Pentacles
My little gem has some new ideas in your beautiful mental vault! Keeping certain moves hushed for now is okay, as we must protect our "good soil" from weeds. We know certain things are inevitable, but there is no need to rush things before it's time! October is an excellent month to stay grounded in the present so you can successfully plant the seeds that have been coming to mind. If people doubt you or your brilliant ideas, know you are the only one to see what happens next. Surprise us!
Cancer: The World
Congratulations, my little crab. You have successfully ended a chapter! It may not have been easy, but you know a new you is forming. You know, once every couple of years, you start to make decisions in areas of your life that call for change. It is one of those moments! Look back with peace in your heart, and be proud of yourself! This next chapter may take you out of your shell, but it's time for a new strut! Take a walk on a new beach. You know it'll be better!
Leo: 6 of Wands
You are the king of the zodiac for a reason! Those little mental nudges that had you doubt what was already yours may start to lift this month, my little lion. Things are complex, but you know firsthand that certain things are worth it! Expect a surprise victory or a good response to something you may have considered. Tell your haters hello for me!
Virgo: 5 of Swords & Queen of Swords
My darling Virgo, you know better than to overanalyze things you've already figured out! You're brilliant, and fussing over matters that don't make sense is a waste of time! Anything or anyone rocking your emotions a little too much must be cut off immediately. If you've been working on projects that have you obsessing, take a step back and look at all the beautiful work you've already done. Trust and believe it is excellent as it is! There's much more where that came from if you're willing to accept that and move forward to the next.
Libra: Queen of Cups
Happy birthday, darling! This is a great time to celebrate yourself and your feelings. Another lap around the sun invites you to examine how you would like to live the following year. What are some romantic or creative hunches that you would like to explore? Now is the moment, and trust you'll feel good about it. It is also a great moment to honor your intuition. If something feels deep, that's because it is!
Scorpio: The Star
My little scorpion, you will experience a whole new you! Your birthday season starts at the end of the month, but you've been having a new walk and conversations with God that may have had you up at night. Your sign represents death and rebirth, so what new things or aspects of yourself have you been exploring? Cleanse yourself of outdated ways you've once viewed yourself. You're being called to blossom in a new form meant to uplift your spirit! Flirt a little, try that new hobby, or dare yourself to do something new.
Sagittarius: 8 of Swords (Rev)
September may have felt a bit off. That's okay; whatever that was is now breaking down! You can expect more clarity on what makes you happy and how to find new ways to ensure your needs are met. If you find yourself around some Debbie Downers, do yourself a favor and call it a night. It is okay to be supportive, but this month, you'll find more joy in being free in who you are! If possible, take a short trip and talk shit with a friend that you can trust.
Capricorn: King of Wands
My beautiful little goat, you know it's time to switch it up! You know you've been slightly bored with people talking about the same shit! This month presents a new day; you don't need to keep up appearances. October invites you to places that make you feel supported, provide insight, and inspire you to tap into a different version of yourself. You don't have to cut anyone off, but it's okay to go ghost for a while.
Aquarius: Ace of Wands & The Lovers & 10 of Pentacles
October will be an excellent month for you, Aquarius! Some new ideas and the resources to make them manifest are highly likely! Remember me when you go viral or run into some money. A recent decision may make you feel more free or like a new chapter is beginning. For those of you still deciding on your next move regarding your purpose or love, choose the option you're slightly afraid of but that excites you in a new way! You will have to live with this decision for a while, so try NOT to choose something familiar.
Pisces: Justice & 9 of Pentacles
Hello, Nemo! You've finally made it! It took a few knockdowns and slaps from the universe, but you have eventually awakened and are right where you need to be. October ushers in a time of listening to your intuition and trusting your guides in a way you have not done before. Do you feel it? I'm sure you do! Once every 3-5 years, a new you emerges, ready for a new level of independence, spirituality, and love. You may have learned that there is no need to hold on to what is dead because you cannot bring it back to life. However, you can take a leap of faith and be surprised by the new person, place, or thing coming your way!
Best,
D.
