Energy Forecast for OCTOBER 2024 | Trust Your Instincts
Twist and turns, ups and downs, and through it all you learn to follow your instincts and trust that you are farther along your journey than ever before.
As a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Guide, every single month I tune into the energy of the Collective to channel the monthly energy forecast, or energy update. These blogs will give you great insight into how your thoughts, emotions and energy is being influenced this month based on the Moon Cycle and Universal Energy.
Over the next 30 days the Universe is clearing your path in unexpected ways and changes are allowing you to align with your destiny. This might all sound great right now, yet be wary as you walk the path because sometimes learning lessons happens through the hardships and challenges. In all of your experiences this month, especially the emotionally difficult ones, you are evolving to the next level.
Your awareness reaches new heights as you stay open to the clarity that is around the corner. Don’t let the challenges of this eclipse rock you off course too long. It’s time for endings and beginnings, and it’s time you let yourself finally let go of the people and things that are holding you back.
Let’s dive into the full breakdown of the month, starting off with the overall theme.
Overall Theme of the Month
Light-Seer: The World (21)
Shadow-Seer: Page of Pentacles reversed
Theme: Animal Guardian - Trust Your Instincts
The month of October 2024 will bring an energy of completion, as you round out an important cycle of your life and create new levels of consciousness for yourself. Throughout this month you will be in a place where you see more clearly. You can see who you want to become and how your past has played an integral part in your journey to become this version of yourself. You wouldn’t be where you stand today, ready to create a life of purpose and joy, if you hadn’t moved through the experiences of your past.
Maybe you feel as if you are not quite at that completion stage yet, but this message for October is telling you that you’ve come so far already and the next level is near. You are on the right path. When the Universe says you’re entering a stage of completion, it’s important to note that this may be on a physical level in your life, as a big project nears an end. Yet for the majority of the collective, this message is referring to a spiritual completion, meaning you have reached new heights in your level of awareness and you view the world, life and yourself differently.
The puzzle pieces are landing into place and you are beginning to feel as if you can see clearly.
Are you ready to tap into this energy? Then don’t miss out on the message from the Shadow-Seer card, the Page of Pentacles reversed.
The Universe is reminding you that although you are closing out an important chapter of your life, it doesn’t mean there is nothing left to learn. The Page of Pentacles reversed is showing you the areas of your life that seem to have a lack of progress are the same areas where you are procrastinating. You cannot keep putting things off if you want true growth and expansion. It’s time to actually bring some plans down to earth in regards to your dreams and desires, and actually start creating forward movement on those plans.
You’ve been sitting in your mind, wishing, dreaming and desiring, yet you are allowing life to pass you by without actually creating any real progress. It’s time to marry the two, being practical and running ahead towards your dreams. This is how the feeling of completion can flow into your life. Through you deciding to create those plans and follow through on them.
The energetic theme for the entire month of October is seen through the message Animal Guardian, trust your instincts. You know what feels right for you, and it’s not necessarily the path that everyone else is telling you to take. You have to prioritize tuning into your Spirit and allowing your intuition and instincts to guide you on your path.
Be wary of auto-pilot, which is the action of doing something just because it’s the way you’ve always done it. The act of auto-pilot pulls you away from the present moment, and you often are in a state of doing while focused on the thoughts flowing through your mind. Next thing you know you’ve driven the entire way to work and you can’t even remember if you stopped at any red lights. In order to feel your instincts and intuition guiding you, you need to practice being very aware in the present moment. This level of awareness will help you to see more clearly where you are procrastinating and how you can start creating forward movement on your dreams.

Back to the Monthly Energy Forecast for SEPTEMBER 2024
Now that you understand the overall theme and messages for the month, let’s break things down week by week.
WEEK ONE: Tuesday, October 1st to Sunday, October 6th
Wednesday the 2nd - New Moon - Libra Solar Eclipse
Question of the Week - What do you need to focus on when setting intentions?
The Lovers
Elder - Move Beyond Ancestral Patterns
The start of the month lands with a Solar Eclipse during the New Moon on Wednesday the 2nd, which is the last Libra eclipse of this series. This eclipse series has been going on since spring 2023, and Libra symbolizes relationships and connections. During an eclipse the Universe is shaking things up to align you with your destiny. You may have noticed over the last few weeks or days how some of your relationships have felt chaotic. Some relationships are ending in order to align you with your destiny and some relationships are shifting in order for you to connect in new, harmonious ways.
During a New Moon we are starting a new 28 day cycle, which is the ideal time to set intentions on how you wish to show up this next month. Whether you are in a new relationship, ending a long term relationship, not in a relationship at all, or noticing shifts in your friendships/family relationships, this week you are being given an opportunity to see the lessons more clearly.
The message from The Lovers is asking you to open your heart to deep and meaningful relationships. You have a choice, to either allow your fears and old unhealthy patterns to continue to create resistance in your relationships, or to step forward, try things differently and be open to more harmony. Remember, you cannot control the other person, you can only be open to witnessing your own shadows, choose to heal through them, create healthy boundaries and move forward with a desire for unity.
You are growing as an individual in the way you connect in your relationships and this is a beautiful, magical time to allow profound connections to grow in your life.
You are healing deep-seeded ancestral patterns, and the message from the Elder is asking you to recognize those old patterns as a way that your ancestors before you tried to stay safe in a challenging world. You are more consciously aware now, and the behaviours your ancestors lived from in order to try and protect themselves are no longer necessary. Notice the patterns you experience in your relationships, the triggers that pop up, the way you blame others or carry guilt for yourself. Notice your thoughts and emotional patterns inside your relationships, take time to look at them more closely and ask yourself, what is the wound behind this pattern? Why am I choosing to behave this way? What am I afraid of?
These types of questions in self-reflection can provide great insight into where you need to heal and how you can shift in the way you open your heart to more deep and meaningful connections.
Here are a few more questions you can reflect on as you set intentions this week with the New Moon.
1 - How do I want to show up for myself in my relationships?
2 - How do I want to show up for others in my relationships?
3 - What is an old habit I carried in my relationships that no longer serves me or my partner/friend?
WEEK TWO: Monday, October 7th to Sunday, October 13th
Thursday the 10th - First Quarter Moon
Question of the Week - What do you need to remember when taking action?
5 of Cups reversed
Shaolin Master - Be Graceful in Movement and Action
Oh be cautious on how you treat yourself this week. After the Solar Eclipse has brought some clarity into your relationships, you may be feeling the heaviness of your past. The message from the 5 of Cups reversed is showing you how you are holding yourself in your shadows without actually releasing and letting go of this old energy.
You may be standing in a reality that is painful, and it could easily leave you jaded if you choose to hold onto this pain. Your Spirit wants you to move forward, move onwards, move upwards, but you have to choose to let go fully.
This week in the Moon Cycle is typically a time to take action because you feel more energized during the First Quarter Moon. However, with the end of the eclipse season you are exhausted and you can’t really imagine jumping forward into action right now. Instead, this First Quarter Moon is showing you the obstacles that still lay on your path, and the Universe is asking you to not let these obstacles stop you from moving forward. Your actions this week may not be about moving you head 10 steps on your journey, instead they are about clearing out those old patterns you discovered about yourself in your relationships.
Let go of any guilt you may be feeling towards yourself, and let go of any anger you may be holding onto towards someone else. This energy is only causing more resistance on the path of creating your dreams a reality.
The message from Shaolin Master to be graceful in movement and action is really reminding you to slow down and ensure your actions are coming from your heart, and not your anger, bitterness or frustration. It is time to allow your tender heart to help guide you forwards to a future filled with more hope. Let the pain be released from your heart. Shower yourself with love and compassion. Then take the appropriate steps forward, by following your instincts, and expanding your perspective of love, relationships, yourself and life.
WEEK THREE: Monday, October 14th to Sunday, October 20th
Thursday the 17th - Super Full Moon
Question of the Week - Where do you need to be open to surrendering?
King of Wands
Shapeshifter - Transform and Unveil Your Gifts
Allow the clarity to flow in as the Moon Cycle shifts into the Full Moon and things in your life reach a climax. This is where you open your energetic frequency to be guided by the Universe and you create space for the right answers, direction and clarity to come forward. Previously in the month you’ve had a lot of questions go unanswered and a lot of heaviness weighing you down making you wonder if you’re actually creating forward movement. Now things begin to change for you all because you feel ready for a new path.
The message from the King of Wands is telling you that you are a natural-born leader, the ideas flowing in will help you to reach success and you feel an inner fire sparking your passions once again. If you’ve ever wondered what soul-inspiration feels like, you don’t have to wonder any more because it is flowing into your life this week. You have this way about you this week where you are ready to be your most authentic self, share your weirdness with the world, and truly walk the path of beating to your own drum. All because the energy of the Universe has helped to awaken your passions and your desire to go after your dreams.
You are ready to build your life from passion and purpose, and the message from the Shapeshifter is helping you to truly transform your energy from resistance into flow, so you can unveil your gifts to the world.
The question we ask this week is where do you need to be open to surrendering, and the message is quite clear. Allow your passion and inner fire to drive you forward, and surrender the end results to the Universe. Take action and move forward simply because it feels right, not because you’re desperately trying to get to some future moment. The Universe knows your dreams and desires more clearly than you do yourself, and the Universe knows the best path to guide you there. When you focus on living from your passions and allowing yourself to lean into your gifts, life begins to feel more enjoyable.
This is how you create your dream life. You enjoy the now by focusing on what feels good and following the things you are passionate about. This is the energy that is guiding you this week.
WEEK FOUR and a HALF: Monday, October 21st to Thursday, October 31st
Tuesday the 22nd - Scorpio Season
Thursday the 24th - Third Quarter Moon
Question of the Week - What do you need to release and let go of?
8 of Cups
She-Wolf - Unleash the Wild Within
You are finally ready to truly let go of the old and walk into a new cycle feeling more revived than ever before. You feel this way because you truly understand the energetic freedom that comes from releasing and this is how the cycle ends for you, the message from the World.
As the Moon Cycle shifts into the Third Quarter phase, a time for releasing, the collective receives the message from 8 of Cups, which is where you leave your old reality to pursue a new one. The intensity of Scorpio season can be felt as you stand strong in your truth and you feel ready to unleash the wild within, as seen from the message of She-Wolf.
Your transition throughout this month, especially those of you with a sun sign in Capricorn, Libra, Aries and Cancer, has been potent and at times you’ve wanted to throw your hands in the air and give up completely. As this month comes to a close, you finally feel the positive effects of the growth you’ve created this month.
Take the time to move slowly this week and a half, because your old traits were to rush ahead to get away from the old. This is not a helpful trait, and you are beginning to realize that when you slow down, you create space to shift your energetic frequency which allows you to move forward from a more grounded and aligned state. You are walking away from negativity by choosing yourself. Some people may resist this new version of you, yet you know in your heart and soul that this is how you will shine the brightest.
A challenging month, as October always seems to be because of the energy of Fall Season in the Northern Hemisphere, where you are reminded to let go of the old before being able to welcome the new. The harmony you create through releasing negativity and harvesting the blessings of your passions is how you create the necessary shifts in your life.
Take a moment and find gratitude for how far you’ve come in your journey. This is only the beginning of the next cycle for you.
