In this episode, we explore the October new moon and the 8th lunar month—Octem—a powerful threshold between worlds, seasons, and states of being. The Sun and Moon meet in Hasta, the lunar mansion of the alchemist, setting the tone for a month of transformation from the earthly to the heavenly.
We dive into the gates of Mundus, the honoring of water and promises, health as the bridge between past and future, and the planetary influences of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars. Plus key dates for ritual, health practices, and planning your next year.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to purge, rebuild, or step into a more limitless version of yourself—this month is your invitation.
Sending lots and lots of love. Ciao a tutti.
