Hi my mystical angels! Happy spooky season!!! This month hits us with the sexy combo of Libra and Scorpio. It’s giving the perfect confection of glamour, mystery, magic and confidence.
But Kayla, how am I to embody all those things at once?? Honey you are vast and beautiful and capable of holding all things true inside of you. So let’s get ready to deep dive into the spooky and spiritual side of our souls.
October holds my favorite holiday Halloween (Oct 31), or Samhain (Nov 1)! This is the ancient holiday where some believe the veil is thinnest. A great time for magic, manifestations and spending time with your coven.
This month, paid subscribers’ goodies include an audio version of the newsletter, an extra oracle card pull, a journal prompt and the monthly horoscope for your individual zodiac sign! WOW OH WOW KAYLA, WE REALLY SEE WHERE OUR $5 IS GOING!
As a little spooky treat, this month all paid subscribers get an extra little newsletter in their inbox. This one’s all about the secrets and mysteries of Samhain. Upgrade your subscription before Oct 23rd to get Samhain history, rituals, altar suggestions, card pulls and more!
PHEW! Lastely, I’m launching my new website!!! My partner, Vivian, is so talented and worked so hard to make my visions come to life. So if you want to book a tarot reading, an oracle intuitive reading or a birth chart chat, you now have a place to go!

Record Scratch; you’re probably wondering how I got here.
You might be feeling a little like, uhhh, okay? What. is. GOING ON?? Well, life is what’s going on. And that can be unfair and annoying and make you realize some hard truths. Realizing hard truths can really f*cking suck, so take time, slow down, make logical decisions. Especially as we head into Scorpio and Eclipse Szn later this month. Detectives (Scorpio energy) are sly and stealthy as they collect information. Not until they have all the evidence, all the hard truths, do they make a final say.
It’s really easy to blame others when things don’t go as planned, or the dream in our head just didn't quite come to life. But we can never control anyone else’s choices or actions. They choose for themselves. So what could you have done better? But in a super kind and patient tone.
After reflecting on yourself, if you still feel that someone else is to partial blame, here’s a harsh truth: not everyone is willing to take accountability. (so fucked) So many people are afraid to face themselves and you could die waiting for them to make that choice. How is that fair to you? You are making a different choice, you’re facing yourself and I am proud of you for that.
Let these realizations inform you on how to move forward with people and yourself. Remember everyone makes mistakes, everyone has those days. But everyone has a limit. Don’t be afraid to walk away from things that no longer serve you, in order to open up the space for new and more successful energy to flow.
TLDR; Shit fucked up, ok. But now I know what to walk away from.
It’s time to upgrade that spiritual glamour, honey. Spice it up, show it off; its that time of the month ;).
We start out strong with Venus moving into Virgo on October 8th, where she’ll have a cute little stay for a bit. Venus being the planet of glamor, love, creativity and ruler of Libra (the season we’re in). I naughtily suggest you get flirty with it. Flirt with people, flirt with yourself, flirt with your passion hobbies and crafts. Dang, flirt with life!!! But amongst this flirting, take notes: what do you actually like v what is right in front of you? You know the difference, flirt for the long game.
Our new moon in Libra AND Solar Eclipse happens on October 14th. Now there’s a little to unpack here, so take a seat. Eclipses signify sudden and unexpected change. Which can be scary, but before you spiral out, astrology is the study of patterns. So even if we don’t know EXACTLY what the change is, we can look at where these changes are expected to happen. This way we can be on the lookout or at least, emotionally prepared. This new eclipse season takes place in Aries and Libra. So all the cardinal signs can expect to have the biggest learning curve during these times. In this Libra position, we’re focusing on personal independence. How do you assert yourself in way that promotes harmony and balance in your life. So I suggest staying home to reflect and figure it out before the halloween parties.
We haven’t had a solar eclipse in Libra since 2004. So take a second and think about themes in independence that might have come up around that time. How is it different now? Is it working for you? Remember, faith in yourself leads to stronger partnerships.
October 23rd we finally get into the deep and mysterious Scorpio Szn. Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, energy and sex; and Pluto, the spooky planet of transformation and the underworld. Because of this, Scorpio wants to dive deep when it comes to communication and connection. Scorpio energy is charming and emotionally smart, but private when it comes to things close to home. This Scorpio season, how are pursuing personal growth and wisdom? Do the people around you encourage this journey?
Oct 28th we have our Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in pragmatic Taurus. This Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse officially marks the end of the Taurus and Scorpio eclipse season. During this time, growth just simply can’t be avoided. Let this Earth energy ground you in the changes you’ve already made. Who better to celebrate these upgrades than with your coven!
October 31st and November 1st are what we know as Halloween, but wait isn’t everything we’ve ever known stolen? You nailed it! This is also the ancient celebration of Samhain. This is a time to connect with your spiritual practice and honor those who came before you, and celebrate the end of summer and journey into winter.
So what can you do to celebrate this holiday? It’s a great time to set new goals and intentions as many ancient Celts believed this to be the beginning of the Wheel of the Year. Spend some time getting to know what these dark winter seasons hold for you.

Plan Your Month
Oct 8th- Flirt it up, cutie!
Oct 9- Pluto, finishes its journey through straightforward Capricorn. This pattern tells us that, times, they are a’changin’. So you better join the picket lines sooner than later as we see a communal shift in how the power of money flows.
Oct 12- Mars moves into perceptive and mysterious Scorpio. If you’ve been feeling it, today is the day to ask for that promotion, apply for that job, write that storm, apply for that grant. You deserve to be recognized!
Oct 14- New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Libra. Do you get what you deserve? No seriously, sit down and think about it.
Oct 23- SCORPIO SZN. BYE CUFFING SZN, HELLO MYSTERIOUS SZN. BE THE DETECTIVE YOU WERE BORN TO BE. SEXY 007, BABE VIBES. FLOAT IN THE WATERS OF YOUR EMOTIONS.
Oct 28- Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. Be who you’ve dreamt your are around your closest friends. The freedom of change is really delicious.
Oct 31/Nov 1- Sahain! Embrace your inner magic! Spend some time in meditation or whatever makes you zen and reflective! You have everything you need to get exactly what you’ll get.
Oh this month?? It’s the ultimate vibe! Ahhh, I love Halloween. The air just feels different and I believe it is. Whether that shift is the seasons or the veil thinning here are somethings to make your October a sexy, spooky, magical one.
Bloody Mocktail
Idk about you, but I will be eating a lot of candy. And at my beautiful age of barely 30, you gotta take care of yourself if you’re going to enjoy yourself. So here’s a mocktail that will SCARE you how tasty and healthy it is. SPPPOOOOOOKKKYYYY
Splash of lemon
If you’re wanting to NOT skip the dranky drank, check out this hard kombucha that would be great to add a shot of tequila to.
Satan’s Actual Lettuce
Connect with your ancestors and encourage lucid dreaming by adding mugwort to your magical little weed friend or make it into a tea (although I would suggest adding it to a peppermint or other flavorful tea.)
This herb is also known for its protection and healing qualities. Burn it to smoke cleanse your altars or place it around your doorways to ward off evil. Hell yeah, that’s exactly what I need this halloween szn.
Nothing says spooky season to me like cuddling up and watching movies. Now, I used to be a real horror gal, but then I lived life and that was horror enough. So here are some not toooo spooky movies that I love.
Halloween Town
Thoroughbred
The Witch
Midsommar
Underwraps
Life Size
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Sucker Punch
Kill Bill Vol. 1
The Invitation
Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)
