Throughout October, the pressure mounted as buried emotions and old cycles were dragged into the light to be healed or released. It has been an intense month of shedding with many experiencing intense polarization, swinging wildly between flashes of profound clarity and acute physical or emotional exhaustion. Ultimately, these energies forced a definitive choice between contraction (acting out of fear, lack or old trauma) and expansion (choosing love, boundaries and authenticity). While uncomfortable and deeply exhausting, this stripping away was necessary to clear our fields.
As we move into the final days of October and cross the threshold into November, the tide is actively shifting. We are transitioning from a state of exhausting review to one of profound clarity and powerful momentum. Right now, however, we are in the neck of the hourglass. The energy is at its most volatile, concentrated and compressed. You are urged to practice deep restraint and self-discipline. Tempers are short, old wounds may resurface, and the collective atmosphere is highly reactionary. Do not react to the ghosts of your past. Instead, use this concentrated energy to quietly anchor yourself into the new.
Much love, Kate
