The final month of the year is the front porch of an unknown future. Everyone feels differently about the boundary between one calendar year and the next, and each year’s astrology brings a different flavour to this time of transition. December’s astrological energy feels like standing ankle-deep in cool lake water, the ebb and flow gently lapping at the skin. There’s an invitation to be still and soak it all in. Though things may seem placid on the surface, there’s an intensity and a deepening—into intimacy, into self-awareness, and into a greater sense of meaning. Practising presence will allow you to process major shifts and compost old narratives, habits, and ways of being into nourishment. 

November takes us on an underworld journey to help us find deeper meaning and a greater sense of connection. The energy this month is like a slow-moving subterranean river. Its timescale is more like a waterfall wearing away a cliff face, less like the rush of the workweek. November reminds us that we are part of cycles that are much, much longer than our own lifetimes. The experiences we have are tied to a lineage of events and, in many ways, the path we’re on is a type of inheritance.

The astrology of October brings a sense of stability and sureness. It’s a month when conviction and determination come easier, when acceptance and surrender feel more like strength and less like settling for less than we deserve. It’s a month for clarity and seeing things for what they are. With this realistic approach, our judgement gets sharper, and we’re empowered to make choices from a place of authenticity. If you let it, October will leave you feeling more secure in who you are and guide your healing around safety and belonging.
