Transcript

Welcome,

Beloved souls,

To this October Offering.

This month,

We walk with Hecate,

Guardian of the Crossroads,

Keeper of the Keys,

And Torchbearer of the Night.

She stands at the threshold of endings and beginnings,

Lighting the way for those who seek clarity,

Courage,

And transformation.

As we enter the season of shadow and reflection,

She reminds us that the dark is never without a flame to guide our steps.

On October 6th,

At 1147 PM,

We have a full moon in Aries.

This full moon is fiery and bold,

Calling us into action.

It illuminates the axis of Aries,

For the self,

And Libra,

The other,

Urging us to strike balance between independence and partnership,

Autonomy and connection.

Aries is the cosmic warrior representing self-assertion,

Courage,

And emotional independence,

While Libra offers compromise,

Harmony,

And fairness.

Under this bright moon,

We are invited to find clarity in both.

The Aries moon ignites our inner fire,

That of assertiveness,

Boldness,

And it demands personal truth and action.

Emotions may be heightened during this time as it pushes us towards growth and away from complacency.

We are asked to refine our desires,

Clarify our truths,

And step into our path with courage.

The Libra sun in direct opposition reminds us that while we honor ourselves,

We must also honor the needs of others.

Neglecting either end of the polarity will backfire.

The work here is balance,

With forward momentum.

This full moon is all about emotional declarations.

Something has been building within us,

Often deeply personal,

And now is the time to let it out.

We cannot sit in our feelings any longer.

They must be expressed,

Even if raw or not fully rational.

I want you to think about that.

Raw and irrational is where we are going with emotional declaration.

So as you feel emotions rise up,

In your mind you may think,

This is irrational to the situation.

It doesn't mean that you're going to act irrationally.

It means that you will have feelings that are potentially irrational to the situation,

And you'll be able to see that if you can take a step back,

And then you get to decide from there how you act.

Do you act irrationally because you're having that irrational emotional feeling?

Or can you then see a situation clearly for what it is,

And get to the root cause of why it is causing what seems like an irrational emotional reaction?

Often when that happens,

There is something below the surface that we need to tune into that our intuition is giving us like a red flag about.

So this illumination will bring revelation around our bodies,

Our leadership,

And our ability to initiate new beginnings and our closest relationships.

The past two moon cycles,

We had a lunar eclipse on September 7th,

And a solar eclipse on the 21st.

This asks us to seek balance and clarity in certain aspects of our lives,

And that could be different for everyone,

So I'm not going to label it or define it here,

But I do invite you to think back over the past month of what themes have come up for you.

Now begins that forward momentum into action,

Initiation,

And bold movement.

What was only an idea is now ready to become a reality.

So for the last two cycles,

You may have had something come up where you needed to let go of a part of you,

Or a part of a situation,

Or to remove a blindfold to see a situation with absolute clarity that then required an ending,

Or a part of an ending to a situation.

And now you have the ability to move on the other side of that into action,

Into becoming,

Into a new reality.

The Aries energy propels us to take that step,

To make the move,

To speak the truth,

And to carry the torch not only for ourselves,

But for those who walk beside us.

This lunation is coming in at 14 degrees in Aries,

So it will most affect people with personal planets and points between 10 to 18 degrees of the cardinal signs.

And those cardinal signs are Aries,

Cancer,

Libra,

And Capricorn.

It highlights independence versus dependence,

Me versus we,

Autonomy versus sharing.

Ideally,

We arrive at a sacred midpoint,

Living authentically while remaining open to the compromise and connection that relationships require,

Long-term relationships.

So if you are in something that is not long-term,

That you don't want to put this effort in,

That you don't want to try to seek compromise,

And you're just done,

That's okay.

This is a great time to just be done,

To speak your truth,

To speak your mind,

And move on.

If it is a relationship that you want to harness and foster,

This is the time to find that deep compromise and to have the conversation.

Speak your needs,

Speak your mind,

And do it authentically.

And as if to deepen the inner excavation,

If like we need to dig even deeper,

Mercury enters Scorpio on October 6th as well,

And it will remain here until October 29th.

This supports that communication shift.

While Mercury and Libra urged for balance and fairness,

Scorpio seeks out what is hidden.

Our thoughts and words become probing,

Focused,

And penetrating.

During this time,

Like we are working to get beneath the surface,

To the root,

To the truth in the shadow places.

And this is where we find our motivation and the strategy for our next steps forward.

This is an excellent time to research,

Investigate,

And engage in deep conversations.

Those can be with yourself.

Let me be very clear.

This is not just about how you show up in relationships and how you navigate those externally.

It's also about how you navigate those internally.

So,

If you feel drawn in both directions or more to one versus the other,

That's okay.

This is going to show up differently for everyone.

With Scorpio's sharp intuition,

We're not easily shocked.

So,

As a Scorpio,

I can say this.

My son is in Scorpio,

And it takes a lot to get me,

Like,

Shocked and ruffled.

I often see things that aren't spoken.

I see beneath the surface of what's being presented.

And so,

This is the kind of energy that is coming up.

You're seeking to understand,

To see clearly,

And to know fully.

Together with the Aries full moon and Mercury's descent into Scorpio,

This creates a powerful threshold moment.

Illumination and revelation,

Courage and clarity,

Truth and transformation.

Invite in Hecate,

Keeper of the Keys,

Walking with us here,

Reminding us to honor what is ending,

Embracing what is beginning,

And to step boldly into the crossroads with a torch in hand.

This is the first of three consecutive super moons.

The next ones are on November 5th and December 4th.

The moon is sometimes referred to as the Hunter's Moon,

But this year it's the Harvest Moon because it's proximity to the autumn equinox,

Which I think is quite lovely because,

Again,

If we think about the autumn equinox,

It's all about balance.

We are sitting in the aftermath of eclipse season and being held in this cosmic support as we invite in peace and stability for our journey.

And that means taking action.

We don't find peace and stability by sitting still.

Things have to move.

Situations have to shift.

The energy has to get ruffled before it becomes still.

This is the ruffling.

You're in the ruffling.

The stillness will come,

But that's not where we are.

As I was preparing for this recording,

I pulled a tarot spread,

And the message that came through was so beautiful and powerful that I think it's very fitting for the energy of this moon,

Where we are,

Where we're going as a collective,

And how Hecate kind of stands behind us and supports us.

So,

Here it is.

If you want to pause this and move to the second recording,

I'm doing a journey with Hecate,

And you don't have to listen to this portion,

But it may provide some depth and additional clarity.

So,

I will put that offer here as well.

Okay,

Here we go.

October arrives with the torch in hand.

The six of candles shows us that we are no longer just a flicker in the dark,

But a strong flame here to guide ourselves and others through recognition,

Leadership,

And responsibility.

Hecate hands you the torch at the crossroads,

And with it comes the weight of carrying light,

Not just for your own path,

But for those that follow.

Yet,

Every torch casts a shadow.

The self-reflection comes into play and reminds us that once we see our self-service situation clearly,

We cannot unsee it.

Our soul's purpose,

Our authentic self,

Is illuminated here in this moment.

The call of destiny is thrilling,

But it is also frightening.

To live as your true self may mean endings,

The shedding of masks,

And the vulnerability of being seen exactly as you are.

At the crossroads,

What you fear and what you long for are the same thing,

Authenticity.

Beneath the surface,

Your unconscious whispers the word play,

Asking you to remember that joy,

Laughter,

And lightness are not distractions,

But they are doorways.

For when we allow ourself to play,

Our free spirit,

Our soul,

Is allowed and begins to wander.

And in that wandering,

Messages and downloads flow.

Even in the underworld descent of October,

Joy is the key that opens hidden paths.

Meanwhile,

In the conscious awareness,

The three of wands rises like the dawn.

You see the horizon ahead and you know you are ready to expand,

To create,

To embark on a new adventure.

You carry the wisdom of the past,

But you are no longer bound by it.

You are watching the ships come in and preparing to set sail into new waters.

Behind you,

The gate has closed.

Pleiades reveals that you have accepted your soul gifts and your mission.

The cycle of denial is over.

You are no longer asking,

Am I ready for this?

Am I meant for this?

You know the answer,

And the answer is yes.

The burden of uncertainty is behind you now.

Around you,

The world calls for creation.

External forces are urging you to bring something new into being,

Whether it is a project,

A new way of living,

Or a tangible offering.

You are not meant to do this alone.

You have allies that are waiting for you at the crossroads.

They are ready to help midwife your vision into the world,

Asking you to step out of your comfort zone,

Find them,

And move with them.

At this very moment,

You stand at the well,

The sacred card that speaks of the birthplace of inspiration and transformation.

You are at the threshold.

Gazing into deep waters where possibility is conceived.

Something within you is ready to be birthed,

And it is well known to you internally once you look deep enough to see it.

This well is an invitation and an initiation.

Drink deeply,

For what emerges now shapes the road ahead.

And if you want a fun trick to do to see this well,

Take either water or hot tea.

An herbal tea blend is great.

Whisper your intentions into the tea and then peer into the glass and see what shows up.

And then drink it in as if you are drinking in your creation and your hopes and your dreams and your prayers.

As you step forward,

The gate opens onto don't dim to fit in.

The future asks you to stop hiding.

Stop softening your fire.

Stop dimming your light to make others comfortable.

The card showed you the carrying the torch,

Right?

That first card,

We stepped into this and you are the torchbearer.

This card shows you owning that,

Stepping into your full power torch in hand.

And the path forward is one shining unapologetically,

Illuminating the way.

And you are the one illuminating the way.

The outcome is layered,

Much like this journey itself.

The chariot is here,

Driving you forward with determination.

The road is not free of obstacles,

But you will keep your racing toward your soul's calling.

You keep moving forward,

That momentum.

You don't let anything stand in your way.

Then you come to an awakening moment,

A moment of profound soul initiation.

Now all of you can follow your own path.

You are following your own path.

Now you are moving towards that.

You are moving in that direction of your awakening.

You're no longer questioning it.

But as you do that,

Everyone can't follow you.

This road isn't easy and it's not meant for everyone.

It is meant for you.

Some people,

Some relationships,

Some parts of yourself will fall away.

Others will rise and walk beside you.

This awakening leads to growth,

Expansion,

Unstoppable force.

There is a shedding,

A solitude,

And hard choices that will all make sense once it flourishes and grows.

At the heart of it all lies justice.

The crossroads question itself.

You are asked to do what is right for you,

Not for everyone else,

Not for the expectations that have been placed on you,

But for you.

You cannot carry others' choices,

Nor can you please all of them.

Each soul has its own path.

Your task is to remain aligned to your own truth,

To your own sovereignty.

Even if it means some people,

Some relationships,

Some parts of yourself will not walk with you.

This spread tells the story of stepping into your authentic power,

Carrying the torch through shadow and flame,

And daring to walk your path no matter who follows.

Hecate stands at the crossroads reminding you,

The key turns only in your lock.

The torch burns only in your hand.

Walk your path and let others walk theirs.

Tonight we honor these energies,

Hecate's guidance,

And the power of the full moon.

I invite you to find a comfortable position and head over to the guided meditation that I have titled The Torch at the Crossroads to continue in this energy of Hecate and the full moon.

Have a beautiful,

Beautiful evening.

Blessed Be.

Blessed Be.

Blessed Be.
