October 2025: WE WILL GO FORTH
Happy October! Happy Full Moon in Aries! Happy Spooky Season! Happy Kinktober, if you’re nasty! I cannot believe we are here, at the tenth month of the year. In terms of monthly cycles, we’re starting over. The Wheel is spinning.
I’m starting a graduate school program today. I’m a student again! I filled out a FAFSA and will do so again, should the government ever get back up and running! I did this—I applied, I secured the bag, I went to orientation—and yet, now that it’s happening, I’m quite nervous. Daunted to be at the beginning of a new adventure. I’m having to listen to my own advice in a way I’m not wholly comfortable with, and simply show up every day, do my best, and give myself grace around what gets bumped to tomorrow’s to-do list.
I’m also starting to get post-treatment scans. I spent a horrible hour in an MRI machine the other day, wondering if all of them had been that uncomfortable and I’d just been better at disassociating. I’m grateful for my breathing practices and for my wild, imaginative mind. Why be a claustrophobic cancer patient when you could be any number of characters in any number of scenarios? But also, I’m in physical therapy moving my body in new-old ways, and my wife held me in the kitchen this morning, rubbing my fuzzy head (pictured below) and singing “the bald days are over” to the tune of Florence + the Machine.
September brought me low, slow, and painful endings, but by the end of October, my year-to-year prognosis might just be miraculous.
So I’m starting to think about next year—
2026. A 10/1 Collective Year.
—and the things I want to devote my time and energy to making, especially as I embark on a new two-year plus course of study that will shift my practice and my profession in ways I can’t yet fully fathom.
I also want to continue to bring you entertainment, education and encouragement that is valuable, so I’d love for you to tell me what you want more of, less of, and more! So…

This is true whether we’re counting collective energies of 1 through 10, or personal cycles of whatever your monthly number was at the beginning of the year. October is a return, a graduation, and a mirror to January, so it may be helpful to look back in your planner, journal, inbox, or camera roll to see what was going on for you at the start of 2025.
There are a few ways we can approach this month:
We can treat it as an energetic preview of what’s to come next year in 2026, and start to flirt with the energy of what’s coming next.
We can acknowledge we’re still in overall 9 energy and go for broke. Treat these next three months like a mini container of time where we throw all of the spaghetti at the wall and get as fun and free as possible.
We can keep doing what we’re doing, trusting that things take the time they take, and we’re meeting endings and beginnings every day in big and small ways.
Whatever you choose, I believe in you, and I hope by this point in a tough year, you believe in yourself. After all, you’ve made the most of the time you’ve been given, and you’re breathing, blinking, and blessing the world with your presence and gifts. Especially if you’re not where you thought you’d be, use this month as a mini new year, and wrap things up before the Witch’s Wheel spins…

NOTABLE NUMEROLGY IN OCTOBER

10/06/2025
1+6+2+0+2+5 = 16/7
Eclipse season is over! You may not have all the answers or be seeing everything clearly, but it’s time to get going. Stay flexible and curious, and remember to stay slow and steady while you’re getting up to speed. If you’re struggling to move, reach out and connect with others working to move their needles too! You are not alone and you don’t have to go it alone. Keep your magic simple, but powerful—one candle, one card, one mantra, one intention. Focus on faith over getting fancy.
TEN TEN (NINE)
10/10/2025
1+1+2+0+2+5 = 11/2
A day for whimsy! For delight and taking flight! Two can get a little stuck in the mud, but don’t forget how beautiful and magical this world can be. If you’re struggling to connect to joy and pleasure, go back to basics. What do you love despite all odds? What makes you smile, move, dance, yell, create, soar? Spend the day devoting yourself to Venusian pursuits and let it all lift your mood. You’ll never make it to the light at the end of the tunnel if you’re so bogged down in heavy darkness. Find balance here and now.
NEW MOON IN LIBRA
10/21/2025
1+0+2+1+2+0+2+5 = 13/4
Both October’s ruling number (One) and this lunations ruling number (Four) are practical numbers that want to add oomph and structure to whatever we’re whipping up. How could a little bit more attention to your systems feel good at this point in the month? Where could a little planning or organization make the efforts you’re putting forth really shine? Let Libra bring the aesthetic and the numbers bring the order. This could also be a moment to let those pesky habits of chaos and self-sabotage die off.
SAMHAIN
10/31/2025
1+0+3+1+2+0+2+5 = 14/5
11/01/2025
1+1+1+2+0+2+5 = 12/3
Happy New Year, Witches! These holy days at the end of the month feel super supportive and potent for this wheel spin/new year/transition energy. October 31st is an overall 14/5 day, so you may want to brew a potion, try a new spell that sounds like fun, or do Uncrossing or Road Opening work. November 1, is an overall 12/3 day, so again, we’re making magic, we’re getting creative, we’re expressing ourselves, we’re reflecting on the overall journey… anything that feels like it’ll put you in a good place to lay things to rest, and be reborn.
Sending you fresh starts, spooky fun and more magic in October! And…
