Embracing change can help us get on steady footing again. First, we see the perceptive Moon contrast with the reckless Chiron, which can lead us to follow unhealthy impulses — even when we know that the outcome isn’t going to be a positive one. Luckily, this is followed by the Moon harmonizing with the rebellious Uranus at 10:19 pm EDT, easing our way toward a newer, more positive path forward, especially when it comes to stubborn bad habits.
Today, you’ve got to get your grind on and be dedicated to your path. The Scorpio moon adds some gusto to the day, but you have to put some elbow grease into it if you want to get things done! It’s all about accomplishment right now. Maybe you’re making up for lost time and ready to burn the candles at both ends.
However, take extremely good care of your body, which is a continual theme here. On a personal level, keep your eyes on the prize of self-care. Never forget the support you’re creating and the foundation you’re laying for yourself and others.
These are transits of a lifetime, and today you’re aided by your willingness to put your blood, sweat and tears into what you do and who you love. Whatever is worth the struggle is exactly where you need to focus at this time. Whatever falls away wasn’t good enough for you in the first place. The Universe doesn’t have the time to play those kinds of games with all this work to do!
We can change for our future selves!

DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
63 | Vulture spirit | Nothing is wasted.
What seems hideous has its own beauty, and the recycling and repurposing the vulture does is as important as any other activity in nature that supports the cycle of life. Vulture Spirit’s message is that nothing is to be wasted, for Nature sees value in everything that exists.
What seems rotten and ugly has the potential to be transmuted into something beneficial, and you are reminded that any suffering you have experienced has not gone to waste. Wisdom and understanding that arose from the experience are talismans that will serve you on your journey wherever you go. What is decaying is only changing form and will fertilize seeds you wish to plant, turning that which has passed away into the substance that will support new growth.
All that you might wish to deny or discard has value and can be repurposed and reintegrated into the new you that you are becoming and the new life that you are dreaming into being. No pain was in vain and no experience was wasted, for you have the power to use it to co-create something far better. This is the miracle in your partnership with Spirit.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
I | THE MAGICIAN
This energy has come up several times this morning and twice this week, so pay close attention!
Traditionally, The Magician is one who can demonstrate hands-on magic — as in healing, transformative rituals, alchemical transmutations, charging of talismans, and the like. A modern Magician is any person who completes the circuit between heaven and Earth; one who seeks to bring forth the divine gold within her or himself.
At the birth of Tarot, even a gifted healer who was not an ordained clergyman was considered to be in league with The Devil. For obvious reasons, the line between fooling the eye with sleight of hand and charging the world with magical was not clearly differentiated in the early Tarot cards.
The image of The Magician as the solitary ritualist communing with the spirits of the elements — with its formal arrangement of symbols — is a token of the freedom we have in modern times to declare our spiritual politics without fear of reprisal. The older cards were never so explicit about what The Magician was doing. It’s best to keep your imagination open with this card. Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by evolutionary forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul.
Have faith in your innate creativity. The Magician advises you give your questioning nature and free-associating mind plenty of room to explore the subject at hand. Behave just as if you were an open-minded and curious scientist. Through this process, you may bring freshness and clarity into the situation that is both stimulating and catalytic.
You do not have to understand it all intellectually. Besides, intuition is your ace in the hole. Respond in a spontaneous manner to what is right in front of you. There is no reason to hold yourself back. Your natural urges are exactly what is needed, and, your ingenuous timing and elegant style will help smooth over any awkwardness.
2022 LUNAR CALENDAR
10/25/2022 NEW MOON IN SCORPIO: Moon in Scorpio creates the need to delve into your feelings as deeply as possible. You desire meaningful emotional exchanges now more than at any other time even if it is not easy and you are forced to change many things. Shallow relationships do not satisfy you, because they are not purifying enough.
The position of the Moon in Scorpio is very passionate and mysterious. All accumulated in the subconscious is put forward to the fore: passion, jealousy, aggression, the thirst for power, and the desire to win. Instincts now take precedence. During these periods, more fights and psychological pressure. However, this time allows a person to more easily know the depths of his soul, to exceed his possibilities – a sudden transformation, the awakening of the soul, and important spiritual discoveries are close. Do not try to hide the facts, but do not disclose all your plans, do not be too tense, and do not try to implement secret designs. Beware of resentment of someone from others. It’s easier to start things that require more courage, and determination. However, it is more difficult for criminals to cope with themselves, they are more inclined to extremes. These are the days of martial arts, the soldiers of the Spirit. More experienced people are more aware of how to take control of enslaving passions.
Not only fighters or those prone to crime become more active, but also those who are involved in power structures: military, police, security structures, etc. Increased interest in magic, magic, and secret esoteric sciences. This period is favorable for artists because feelings, and passions are hot, and the subconscious provides many opportunities for self-expression. This period is less favorable for teachers: students are more interested in love affairs and evil jokes. Favorable time for signing documents, renting out a property, painting work premises, showing trust, solving problems, sending detailed inquiries, starting campaigns against competitors, and making important transactions. A good time for activities in the field of police control, surgery, research, exploration, meat trade, mining, investment management, and also in the area associated with funerals.
OCTOBER 2022 ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR
OCT 22 — SATURN GOES DIRECT IN AQUARIUS
Moving forward, it’s time to take all the lessons we’ve learned while Saturn was in retrograde and use them to restructure our lives in unique ways.
OCT 22 — SUN IN LIBRA CONJUNCT VENUS IN LIBRA
A day of rest and relaxation as this aspect encourages us to let in the love.
OCT 22 — MERCURY IN LIBRA TRINE SATURN IN AQUARIUS
A good day to plot and brainstorm plans, but don’t put them into action just yet.
OCT 23 — SUN ENTERS SCORPIO
Things get a little darker when the sun enters mysterious Scorpio when the energy becomes intimate, deep, and a little intense for the next four weeks. However, once we allow ourselves to explore its depth, we can find transformative healing within.
OCT 23 — VENUS ENTERS SCORPIO
With the planet of love in spooky and mysterious Scorpio, it’s time to keep our circle close as we choose to spend time with our most trusted loved ones. It’s not the best time for starting new romances.
OCT 23 — JUNO GOES DIRECT IN PISCES
After a difficult retrograde, we’re ready to connect again on a deeper and more spiritual level, as partnerships become more sensitive, caring, and unselfish.
OCT 25 — NEW MOON SOLAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO
During this powerful solar eclipse in vengeful Scorpio, it’s a great time to put an end to any lingering grudges and bad blood between estranged loved ones. Learn to let it go.
OCT 26 — MERCURY IN LIBRA TRINE MARS IN GEMINI
This is one of the last days for steady creativity and productivity before Mars goes retrograde—so use it wisely!
OCT 27 — JUPITER REENTERS PISCES
Issues that you thought were resolved back in May suddenly come back to be revised. The good news is that having the planet of abundance in its traditional home sign will help overcome the frustration from Mars’ retrograde.
OCT 27 — MERCURY IN LIBRA SQUARE PLUTO IN CAPRICORN
An argumentative aspect under which feuding is easy but getting actual work down is almost impossible.
OCT 30 — MARS GOES RETROGRADE IN GEMINI
Driven and action-packed Mars hit the brakes in chatty Gemini for the rest of the year, making the upcoming few months feel slower. Every aspect of our lives will be put on pause and create major delays—especially when it comes to communicating our thoughts and ideas. Use this as an opportunity to take a break.
