The theme for October is “Do It Now”

We have a saying, “Get ‘Er Done!” when something requires action instead of sitting in ambivalence, obsessive overthinking, doubting, procrastination or delay. Holding back action this month can result in irritation, self-judgment, anxiety and worry. It will simply not feel good. We have ignition, we have gas, you just have to put your “vehicle” in gear and your foot on the pedal and go. The action is not impulsive, it is knowledgeable action, meaning that taking each step with integrity and wisdom is important. Use your intuition to know what is appropriate, honor right timing and follow your heart and inner passion.

This is a fiery, energetic month where you can finally complete tasks that have been on the shelf, move with power towards new adventures, relationships and projects, and raise the quality of your own experience of life. In the aftermath of what was triggered by September’s eclipses, you are either in the position of fully stepping into something new, or still cleaning up some consequence from the past, some karmic or relationship messiness that is not quite complete. Whatever the case, energy and action are available to accelerate the process. Whatever you have been procrastinating or delaying can finally be dealt with and completed.

What may be in the way of moving forward with action at this time is fear. If you still find yourself feeling small, limited and stuck, investigate what the fear is that is keeping you from taking the action you know you need to take. There is momentum and support this month for facing fears and moving through them to a place of greater self-esteem, courage and a positive use of will. Breaking free of those limitations that entangle and imprison you can be very liberating. We have a live webinar on Moving Through Fear on October 15 to help support this.

Balance is an important aspect of this month as well. Especially balancing the time you take for yourself and your own personal growth with time that you give to others. Good boundaries will serve you well even if they end up disappointing others. Don’t take it personally as it is their own attachment to an expectation. On the other hand, if you have agreed to something, be responsible for that agreement. You can be discerning about any agreements moving forward and you can revise agreements that are not karmically important to someone else.

Inspiration and passion are also very important aspects to consider this month. As you revisit your intentions, make sure you are still inspired and have passion for them. If not, you may need to revise, letting go of old energy and stepping into something new.

How the month shows up:

YOU PERSONALLY

This month is definitely about you. Action cures fear and breaking free of old patterns is a major theme. You will need to be a bit ruthless about setting boundaries around your time especially those of you who have a habit of overscheduling, overaccommodating, and over-compromising around expectations. Be present and observe your reactions. If you get irritated, you are not taking enough action. Ask yourself why? You will quickly and clearly see what is blocking you. You may need to revisit the difference between a responsibility and where that responsibility has become an obligation, not of your choosing.

This is also a month where you will be facing consequences. Whatever surfaced for you during September and the eclipse time is now being processed and assimilated. The consequence of last month will lead either to a completion or a beginning and often both. Remember that action is putting one foot in front of the other and to “keep going”. Use discernment and practical intuitive wisdom to support your action this month. “Do it now” means don’t put it off unless it is practical to do so. What have you been telling yourself you wish to do? Do it now. A shamanic healing is a great way to support yourself in this process.

RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships this month provide the platform for evaluating patterns, setting boundaries and deepening connections. Action is having the courage to either step away or move towards a relationship. Action is also about putting energy into deepening important relationships, re-igniting passion and making time for yourself and others in a balanced way.

In addition to other relationship issues, you should be evaluating where your energy leaks are in certain relationships. Are you giving more that receiving? Are you enabling a pattern of dependency or disfunction? Are you compromising your time or energy, leaving little or nothing for yourself? Do you feel obligated rather than responsible with integrity and choice? We have a new online course about Energy Leaks that can help you identify and plug them.

Relationships are the most challenging when it comes to decisions to move towards or away from situations as fear can be easily triggered. Fear can be of abandonment, entrapment, rejection, possession, all having to do with self-esteem, courage and confidence. Pay attention to what is surfacing and keep taking those steps towards what you know is your truth. Join our live webinar on Moving Through Fear on October 15 to help support this. 11:30am-1:30pm MDT.

HEALTH AND THE PHYSICAL BODY

Everyone has the experience of making promises to self of taking better care of the body, sometimes the discipline is there and easily manifest and sometimes it is challenging to actually take action on your good intentions. So, this is the month to turn that pattern around and take action towards those good intentions. The trick is to start with baby steps and keep going. You may need to revisit your boundaries around personal time and be very disciplined against what tries to push in and erode that time. There will always be something. It is up to you to keep the boundary.

It goes without saying that physical action will be very helpful this month especially for those of you who are not in the habit of engaging the moving center. If you feel stuck, take a walk, change the energy by moving around, shifting your environment.

In terms of health, taking any action towards improving your health will have a positive outcome. Release any patterns of seeing yourself as less than healthy and take whatever steps you can towards improvement. This includes physical, emotional as well as energetic health. Keeping yourself cleared of negativity and refraining from worry will also support you.

BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS AND PROJECTS

The warning here is not to be impulsive. Use your intuition to take knowledgeable action and think it through before you step into a new project especially with others. Make sure everyone is on the same page and willing to trust right timing and one step at a time. If challenges occur, reflect on whether they are signs of you not being on the right track or signs to move through a fear that may be holding you back.

This is a good month to tell the truth about a project that needs to be released because it may be based on old intentions no longer viable. This is also a good month to take action towards a project that may have been on hold due to procrastination, fear or simply not right timing. Take one step at a time, evaluate, then another step, evaluate and refine, then another.

ENVIRONMENT

On the larger scale of natural environmental events, this could be a very active month of storms, hurricanes, intense weather, flooding and wind. We may even see some earth activity. Movement is the theme and as you align yourself to the natural environment you may be inspired to travel, move location, shift things around in your home and experience different environments.

As usual you will need to be very flexible in your plans and not attached to plans if they don’t work out. On the other hand, you may be the one changing up your original plans if they don’t feel right.

Personal environments may need an infusion of creativity and movement. Get rid of stuff no longer useful and bring in some new energy into your space. A focus on beauty will keep the vibration high.

DATES AND TIME FRAMES

October 1-7

This is a good window to tackle problems, solving them with creativity and your intuitive instincts. It is time to “get to work” and “do it now” so roll up your sleeves and step into your tasks with enthusiasm and practical organization. Beware of putting too much on your plate as it may lead to feeling overwhelmed. Prioritize and set boundaries where you need to. Self-care is on the list as well so make sure you balance your energy and time between what. You need for yourself and what others need from you.

The action component of the month is inspiring to some and intimidating to others. Just remember to take one step at a time and to honor what your rhythm is as opposed to someone else’s.

October 7: Super Full Moon in Aries is Monday, October 6 at 9:47 PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT).

Known as the Harvest Moon, this moon invites us to reflect on the past 6 months, our lessons, accomplishments, goals, intentions, choices, what has changed and where we still need to take some action. The fiery aspect of this full moon supports igniting passion for what we truly want. It can also bring tension and an energy of strife. Use it to break through some limiting belief or situation. Instead of becoming irritable, it is important to acknowledge priorities and make space and time for them. Too many things on your plate could ignite overwhelm instead of inspiration.

Relationships are highlighted during this time, asking us to increase our depth of connection where important and to carve out time for those connections. You may need to set some boundaries around your time to insure some of that connection time is for yourself. Acknowledge your own personal harvest of lessons learned and intentions realized. Use discernment to release any intentions that are no longer aligned in order to make room for a good reset.

October 8-14

This is a time frame of using your will and determination to take action towards your true desires. There is an ambitious quality to this window but be careful not to overdo it. Keep your to-do lists manageable and reassess your needs and priorities as needed. This time may also bring up inner doubts, conflicts and past wounding. Face these demons with determination to learn, grow and raise the quality of your life through right action. This may manifest in relationship issues or some process of cleaning up entanglements and karmic debris from the past. Our new online courses Healing Trauma and Understanding Karma can help support these processes.

What we are looking for is ways that you can be empowered by the process. The goal is balance and the journey needs to include beauty, creativity and courage. Watch for energy leaks and always move towards what will feed you rather than deplete you.

A prosperous window where your intentions can take root however, you will need to watch the potential for excess. There could also be something that surfaces for you that challenges your intention, throws a wrench into plans or disrupts your flow. Keep going through it all and use confidence and good communication to move through and beyond whatever lessons happen to be attached to the issues.

Facing challenging situation and taking action can be liberating as you push through your own resistance and accomplish many things on your list.

This is a time to honor change and your own passion for the things and people you love. There is a healing energy available to elevate your self-esteem and to forgive whatever has gone on before that has kept you limited. Think about the container of your life and set the intention for it to grow in its capacity so you can be more, show up more fully and know with more certainty your right path.

This time supports the higher mind and your self-expression. How do you want to express your medicine in the world? It is time to take action, to do it now, and to be seen!
