King of Wands & Ten of Cups…

The transition from Halloween Season into the heart of Fall can be very sentimental for me. There’s a certain kind of magic which October brings that fills me with energy, but also a reflective poetic nostalgia. My inner child surfaces to dream, play and dance under the October moon and I am hyper-alive. If you are like me, the abrupt end of it all leaves you feeling like you are saying goodbye to that tiny, hopeful tot until next year. But, the cards are urging us to take control of the romanticism and connect with the more vibrant colors of fall that will empower and inspire us. Let the changing landscape of radiant foliage heighten your senses and fuel your desire to start anew. Sure, you can stay connected to the deep and fulfilling world of that inner child, but take control of who you will become in this new season with fire and verve. Start by recognizing that good things aren’t meant to last forever, but can be used to advance toward a more powerful brilliance of existence.
