October: The Magic of Light
It’s officially October! The leaves are starting to change, the evenings are cooler, and spooky season is finally here. Libra season reminds us to bring balance into our lives before we transition into the depth and intensity of Scorpio.

Happy Birthday to all the October Libras & Scorpios!
Early October:
Justice & The Empress
October is the magic of light. We begin the month in the airy cardinal energy of Libra and close it in the deep waters of Scorpio. Libra reminds us that balance isn’t about perfection, it’s about proportions. This month is about noticing what feels lopsided and gently shifting it back into place. It could be the responsibilities you carry, the way your schedule flows, the comfort you allow yourself, or even how firmly you stand up for yourself.
The beginning of October is guided by the Justice and the Empress cards. Together they ask you to honestly assess where your life can be altered, where it can’t, and how to enhance what’s already here. Both point to alignment between your inner and outer worlds. Think about the times you’ve stepped away from your comfort or ignored your boundaries. How can you bring that comfort back? Are you building a life you actually feel good in, or one that constantly tests you?
Justice
Justice calls you to look closely at your personal spectrum of right and wrong. Which beliefs or needs are non-negotiable? Which habits or desires need firmer limits? It’s about owning your truth and being brave enough to communicate it. This card also asks you to acknowledge the choices that led you here: the ones you made consciously and the ones you left to the universe. If you want something different, you’ll have to try something different. The answer may not look rational to others, but it only needs to make sense to you.
The Empress
The Empress, ruled by Venus like Libra, invites you to soften into comfort and beauty. The real question is whether you’ll let yourself enjoy it. She reminds you that you don’t have to settle for mediocrity and that you can elevate the way you live and care for yourself. The luxuries in your life don’t need to be grand, they just need to be noticed. The Empress asks you to honor your worth and surround yourself with the things that reflect it.
Mid-October:
Ace, Two, Three, and Four of Swords
As the month moves forward, the Ace, Two, Three, and Four of Swords step in to sharpen your clarity and strengthen your mindset. This is a moment to clear the mental clutter and decide what deserves a place in your vision. Each card offers a piece of that process.
Ace of Swords
The Ace of Swords brings a spark of truth and power in new beginnings. It urges you to speak your mind, clear the air, and stand by the ideas you know matter. Sometimes this means asking questions, but you also have to be ready to handle the answers.
Two of Swords
The Two of Swords offers protection for your peace. It reminds you that you can hold your own opinions while still listening to others, and that two things can be true at once. You don’t have to accept outside perspectives, but it’s wise to weigh them before deciding.
Three of Swords
The Three of Swords carries pain, but also wisdom. It teaches you to create balance between letting strong emotions move through you and allowing yourself to step back for perspective. Let your feelings be felt, but don’t let them drag you down. Process them, learn from them, and move forward.
Four of Swords
The Four of Swords is your reminder to pause. This is the moment to rest your mind, step away, and recharge. It says you don’t need to spend endless energy trying to solve or fix. Sometimes the best move is to drop it for now and return when you’re ready.
End of October:
Queen of Swords
By the end of the month, the Queen of Swords makes her appearance. She is clarity itself: soft and compassionate, yet bold and unapologetic. Her lesson is that boundaries are not selfish but necessary. They protect your energy and open the door for genuine connection. The Queen encourages you to cut away what no longer serves you and to trust the lines you draw, even when others can’t see or understand them.
October is about letting light guide you back into balance, letting truth sharpen your vision, and letting boundaries protect your peace. Alignment this month isn’t about pleasing others, it’s about creating a life that feels right in your own bones.
