Fun and love could be just around the corner — but so could some unexpected tribulation. Initially, the sensitive Moon trines serious Saturn, improving our self-discipline and grounding our emotions. Then, the Moon joins charming Mercury at 12:01 pm EDT, allowing us to communicate our feelings in a balanced way. The Moon also trines passionate Mars to incite ambition and honesty. Finally, she makes a shocking square to chaotic Pluto, disrupting the peace of the day and jolting us awake.
As the psychic realms continue to tap on our personal oracular doors, we are all being asked to open our third eye to the messages coming from the other side of the paranormal realms.
Jupiter retrograde swims back into Pisces and pulls at our collective need to let go of past emotional wounds and break away from the normal routine. Under the influence of the intense Scorpio sun, you can either let things eat you alive or allow changes to happen the way they’re intended.
This is a time of year where we’re all being asked to let go of mental baggage and evolve to a higher form of ourselves. Once this gets stripped away, you will feel bare and vulnerable for a reason.
In fact, right now you’re being guided by your ancestral connections, so reach out in whatever way you feel comfortable for signs and clues along the way. You might look at the clock at the same time every day, or you could see little messages around you that let you know you’re on the right track. Yes, there are many obstacles right now, but this is also a fantastic opportunity to focus on your inner light and show the world who’s boss!
Don’t get too comfy!

DAILY MOTIVATION: When bad things happen in our lives, maintaining hope seems like an exercise in futility. It feels as though you’re only lying to yourself or being delusional. However, being objective doesn’t mean you have to lose hope. Giving up hope will only invite more despair into your life. Allow yourself to be comforted by a sense of optimism. Sometimes hope is more about the present than the future. Hope makes your present more manageable. It helps you to remain calm, do your best today, and trust that everything will be fine. You do have the strength to hope. It’s not all over yet. You don’t have to feel down forever.
Your Affirmations For Today: There is a lot of satisfaction and overwhelming joy in my life. I am happy with what is right in front of me now. I live a happier life now. Making decisions has become easier for me.
DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT

The unpredictability of life can shake your confidence in yourself and your potential for handling the challenges that come your way. Does the thought of not having enough or being enough make you squirrely? Have you forgotten all your strengths, wisdom, and resources?
You have come so far on your wits and creativity, making use of all your potential and all that Spirit presents you to help you through life’s trying times. It’s time to look back on your life and remember how your needs have always been met for the highest good, even in your most challenging times.
Life loves you, and so many treasures are hidden in plain sight, ready to be revealed when you most need them—so relax. Squirrel Spirit wants you to know you are poised and ready for whatever is coming next, so trust in yourself and trust that Spirit has your back!
DAILY ORACLE CARD
5 OF WANDS
A battle and a conflict takes place when Five of Wands appears, usually showing that there are many sides to the issues that cannot easily be connected into one. While one might believe there is always a middle ground, they could have trouble staying passive and holding on to healthy boundaries needed to see the bigger picture. On the other hand, hiding from conflict won’t bring results and one must hold on to their natural position and place in the world, reminded that every person is responsible for their own life and their course of fate. No fiery card of wands tells us to be passive, but a lot of care, a solid plan, and to examine distance in personal contacts is necessary to succeed with this card in the image. Wills will differ and intertwine, struggles with authorities are possible as we fall and rise to become our own authority over time, and lessons must be learned about relating and healthy contact if we wish to pursue our goal.
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.
