October 2026 ~Monthly Forecast, Lena Stevens, 2 October 2026

​The theme for October is “Reflect, Review, Reconsider”

After the sorting and simplification process of September, it is now time to review where you are in your life. This process may take you back to a reflection of old dreams, goals, habits, attachments, identities, routines, ways of reacting, and patterns. What needs reconsidering is how you will be moving forward in your life. There is a lot going on in the world today and good discernment on how you personally wish to proceed is key. You will need some clarity and to consider yourself first; your own needs, your boundaries, your new desires and intentions. One way to start is by asking yourself: If there was no one else in your life to consider, what would you be doing? Once you get clarity and certain truth about this review, then reflect on each of your responsibilities to others and considerations you have agreed to. There is still an opportunity to shed something old and focus on a completion that needs to happen whether it is a relationship or a habitual routine you have fallen into that needs to change. There are many things that are out of your control, especially the reactions, beliefs and actions of others. So, focus on yourself and what you have the ability to change.

Some of what will be up for review are your relationships, resources, habits and needs. It is a really good month for restructuring your goals and intentions and realigning what may be out of balance. Where is your energy going? Is it going towards worry, anxiety, fear, obsession or chaos? Or is it going towards positive thoughts and feelings of optimism and opportunity? With regards to your relationships, which ones are mutually supportive and which ones are simply still there out of habit but there is no reciprocal energy? Reconsider your place in all of your relationships and make some changes or completions or refinements wherever necessary.

Regarding your relationship with your resources, what do you have that you can be grateful for? This includes more than finances. Resources are also about our vitality, imagination, resourcefulness, discipline, enthusiasm, creativity, and ability to think outside the box.  Examine what may be in the way of these resources really supporting you, including self-doubt, judgment from others and old patterns of imprinting. Reflect on how you can strengthen all of your resources and to better support you and your unique self-expression.

Regarding your habits, you know what needs an upgrade. You just need the support and discipline to move in the right direction. Tell the truth about your needs and stay out of self-deception and illusion that links your habits in any way to addictions that are not healthy for you.

The opportunity this month is to anchor a new path for yourself that feels right through the process of review, reflection and reconsidering where you are and where you need to go.

How the month shows up:

YOU PERSONALLY

Since the energy is less intense this month it will be easier to reflect on where you are personally without being distracted by the drama around you. So, take advantage of this opportunity to really review your personal situation by asking yourself the right questions. (We have a good online course on sale this month, “The 9 Essential Universal Questions” that will help you organize this review) (link here).

You have an opportunity to step into more of your self-expression and authenticity. Be really aware of blaming others when you come across a pattern that has you irritated. Take responsibility for changing it in yourself instead. The focus on your personal resources will be a good discipline and may bring you surprising insights about your personal needs, desires and hidden talents. It will be important this month to have some kind of spiritual structure of practices to keep you grounded and on track as it will be easy to fall into lethargy and dreamy deception without discipline.

Listen to what you need. If you need alone time to reflect, take it. If it is the support of others and social connections, call that in and ask for that.

RELATIONSHIPS

This could be either a very challenging time for relationships or a very rewarding one depending on your situation and place in each of your relationships. Reflect on your needs and tell the truth. Review how your relationship with yourself has been. Reconsider the changes you may need to make both with yourself as well as with others.

Good boundaries come into play as an important aspect of protecting your truth and your space when reconsidering your relationships with others. The most important insights will be around where you have unconscious habits around certain relationships that may need some awareness and refinement in consideration of your own needs as well as the needs of others. This is not a good month to make any radical decisions regarding relationships, just simply review, reflect, and slowly take action in the right direction.

It is important to honor the diversity and differences between people and to be in more acceptance instead of making your way the only way. Stay out of arguments, don’t take anything personally, and be present in your communication and self-expression. Everything else will take care of itself.

HEALTH AND THE PHYSICAL BODY

This area is connected to your relationship with yourself. The review is a reflection of the past, practices, habits, self-care and to what degree you support and love yourself. Those who have over compromised may feel it in their personal health and well-being. If it is time for you to take a break or you need more rest, the body will let you know.

On the other hand, there is much support this month for anchoring your needs of comfort and security. The focus is on inner security and ways you can be more secure in yourself and feel grounded and safe no matter what is happening around you. Look to others and your community for support and collaboration. We are all in this together.

Laughter and humor is a good medicine for these times. Do whatever you can to lighten the mood through laughter and humor.

BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS AND PROJECTS

This is actually a good month for anchoring new partnerships around new or existing projects. A good review of an existing project will give you insights on whether those involved are on the same page. If not, reconsider whom you need to move around to restructure your team to be more effective and efficient and aligned.

Resources, financial budgets, as well as where you spend your energy are also up for review and reflection. What deserves a second look or a second chance? It may not be a time for a radical change but maybe think of it as refining based on what you have sorted out to be simplified. If a project feels like it has been on hold, then just be patient. It is a bit slower energy this month especially after Mercury goes retrograde on the 24th. Then you will really have the time to reconsider all of your options.

It is not a time to take huge risks unless you are very certain of them being grounded, aligned and well supported.

ENVIRONMENT

Preparedness is the theme for the month with regard to the environment. Both the external one you cannot control and your internal or personal one that you can control. Be prepared for anything which means take care of anything you have been putting off; repairs, medical appointments, regular maintenance, necessary upgrades and anything that you can plan ahead for. And then, with that said, you need to stay flexible, trusting and resourceful for the unexpected.

Being prepared as much as possible, without being overly obsessive or attached to the outcome, is part of taking care of your comfort and security. Once you know that you have done all you can, then you have to give it over to spirit and trust in the process.

In your personal environment, spend some time reviewing your surroundings and without making radical changes see what you need to consider changing up with the goal of simplification. Decluttering is always a good activity.

DATES AND TIME FRAMES

October 1-7

As we begin the month, there is a strong focus on relationships, values and resources. What has become a habit that may not be best for you right now? What old patterns are keeping you from having some of your needs met? What are your beliefs regarding your own abundance, resources and worthiness? This is a good time to truthfully review where you are and all the choices and experiences both positive and not so positive that guided you to the present.

You can ask for help from others, however the process and insight is yours alone and it is best if you really take some time for it. Perhaps you valued something external in the past that no longer has any energy for you. Perhaps an old dream that was never realized is still somewhere in your field. Some past threads are worth resurrecting for a second go around although they will need to be reconsidered and refined for your present circumstances. This is true for relationships as well as projects that have been on hold or creative endeavors that never found the time to be completed.

October 8-15

This is an excellent time frame, especially around the New Moon on the 10th, for anchoring new partnerships and initiating positive agreements, setting good intentions regarding balance, and resetting important relationships without losing track of your own boundaries and needs. Restructure goals as necessary and ground them in a practical commitment that you can follow through on.

There is movement during this time towards positive change but it may require discipline to keep up your practices and to be patient with others. Grounding is important during this time as well as protection especially around any negative projections, fear and worry from others.

October 10: New Moon in Libra is Saturday, October 10th at 9:50AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT).

This moon is all about reconsidering our goals and intentions to be more in balance and in better alignment with where we are in our lives. This may require a release of old goals and a refining of current ones for the future.

Relationships are highlighted during this moon, inviting us to seek more harmony, balance and reciprocation among those in our inner circle and community without compromising our own needs. Not everyone will be on the same page so it is important to trust in one’s own truth, set good boundaries, stay out of conflict and not take anything personally. This moon also opens a creative cycle where new solutions to old issues may come in as clear insights as we open ourselves up to what can be.

October 16-23

We go into a more serious time frame where it is time to put our money where our mouth is. In other words some action behind what you say you want.  Change is still slow and steady, giving you plenty of time to redirect things as you need to. It is most important to have a direction that you have committed to that is an authentic one for you.

This is also a good time to reflect on what may need to be resurrected from your past and maybe even given a second chance. If it is something to consider, then it will surface, maybe even in an unexpected way.

October 24-31

We focus more deeply now on issues regarding self-worth and our personal sense of physical comfort and security. If something still feels unstable and untethered, this will be the time to do a deeper exploration of the issue to get underneath and to the root of it. It could be a fear or anxiety you cannot master or perhaps an old pattern that keeps stubbornly repeating itself.

Your boundaries may be challenged during this time as well so keep them strong. Plan for possible delays and potential mishaps (remember that Mercury goes retrograde on the 24th) and keep mindful of your communication by double checking dates, times and schedules. It is a good idea to bring some reading material with you in case appointments are not on time.

There is lighter energy around relationships during this time as well, welcoming more fun, humor and delight. Work with the Earth for grounding and patience, and practice gratitude for all of the resources you do have.

October 25: Full Moon in Taurus is Sunday, October 25th at 10:12 PM. Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). More on this Full Moon will be sent as a Power Path Update (sign up here)
