It’s officially Fall (or Autumn), whatever you prefer calling it

Let’s dive into October’s juicy stuff, shall we…

October is all about turning towards yourself. Rely and invest in yourself. Treat yourself like the Queen you are. Spend time with the people you deeply care for and pamper yourself in a way that makes YOU feel good. If you’ve had your eye on an expensive Wellness retreat or coaching program for a while NOW is the time to indulge and go for it. October brings immense amounts of abundance and wealth in our lives. It is the beginning of the “death” season. Let go and release in order to make space for new opportunities in your life.

Here is what you need to know about this month of October:

• Life Phase: Self-Care
• Feminine cycle phase: Luteal
• Lunar phase: Waxing Moon
• Archetype: The Queen
• Element: Water and Air
• Chakra (Energy point): Throat

Life Phase: Maturing

Life is a Micro and Macrocosm. We live a fast paced life in our macrocosm, as a human being, but we also live a very slow paced life on the macrocosm level, universal, transdimensional level.

In this 3D reality, physical reality, material and tangible reality, October corresponds to the maturing phase of life. It’s a month of self-care. You’ve been shining bright all summer. Showing your true colors unapologetically. Now, it’s time to make some time for yourself. Treat yourself to the courses, mentorships and wellness treatments you’ve been longing for.

Feminine Cycle Phase: Luteal Phase

During this phase of your feminine and divine cycle; the main hormone is progesterone whose job is to maintain the uterine lining for implantation of the fertilized egg.

Progesterone helps to reduce anxiety, and helps to sleep better.  It also revs up your metabolism by stimulating your thyroid, which is why you see a rise in basal body temperature when you are charting your cycle.  

In this portion of your cycle, your hormones are primed to get things done.  It is a great time to take on tasks like accounting or clearing out your closet.  Want to Kondo your life? This is the time!

This part of your cycle is like the fall, waxing moon and evening.  At the end of this part of your fertility cycle, you may notice that your energy begins to move more inward as you move toward menstruation.

Lunar Phase: Waxing Moon

The Waxing Crescent moon phase may seem like a time of hostility and resistance to growth. It is a time when it is normal to feel that you are going through more difficult

times. However, this does not necessarily mean that we should suffer. It is a time of expectation, during which you hope that the intentions placed during the new moon will bear fruit. The Waxing Crescent Moon is a time of uncertainty and resistance, but you must keep hope and remember that the path to the light is often fraught with challenges and obstacles.

Do not get discouraged and keep going!

Waxing Moon Rituals

A good way to celebrate this lunar phase is to repeat your intentions, like positive affirmations. Repeat the intentions you have determined during the new moon and recite them. Think about all the negative relationships that you maintain and let go of them. It is important to get rid of this weight and burden that keeps you from moving forward. You can also write these things down on paper and burn it after to make it more symbolic. Let go of the negative and useless in order to make space for the new and beneficial

Feminine Archetype for August: The Queen

She is a natural leader, a sovereign loyal woman, confident and proud to take charge of her family, business and relationships. She is goal oriented and gets things done. She is not afraid to invest in herself, her growth and her dreams. Treat yourself to the royal treatment. Don’t be afraid to go to this wellness retreat, you deserve it. When you invest in yourself, it comes back to you multiplied. You are here to evolve and everyday is an opportunity to do so. Spend some time with your friends and family this month. Remember who is always there for you, who has your back and will always be loyal to you. Invest your time and energy on these precious people in your life. If you’ve been holding on to a situation, holding on resentment, let it go, the Queen has better things to do. Trust yourself and your abilities. The women around you are not a threat, but inspiration for you. If you have been feeling jealous of someone in your life, transmute this energy into inspiration and motivation. Lastly, remember that nobody and nothing is perfect. Don’t wait for anything to be perfect before taking action. Take action and see where it leads you.
