October brings Mercury retrograde – from Oct. 13th through Nov. 3rd: A difficult time for many, but a beneficial outcome to your endeavors. However, there is a warning not to allow this temporary state to “go to your head.” Watch your Ego so that you do not enrage family members or suffer from anyone’s jealousy. Become a fly on the wall, and watch others as you move upward with your own plans, in your own quiet way.
The Sun has entered LIBRA
LIBRA energies bring…Airy Libra is the only Stargazing sign that is not represented by a human or an animal symbol. The scales of justice symbolize the need to balance feminine and masculine principles and reminds us to apply the laws that enable diverse people to mingle amicably. This happy equilibrium can flower only if harmony and tranquility are found and well cultivated. To achieve Librian balance in this autumn cycle, reinforced decisiveness is needed over all other attributes. Try to discover your treasure cove, your place of calmness, of inner serenity and artistic genius, but avoid the shadowy pathways of idle fantisies and superficial dodges from responsibility. Living close to your loved ones, building strong family ties as well as close friendships, will give you peace of mind that an external world cannot guarantee.
Home, family, and the domestic scene are your major themes for October 2020, along with a possible new home or refurbished one, an active social life and opportunities to show strength in your job. There is always a “change of sign jolt” as we go through difficult changes, be careful not to allow negativity into your thinking or it could affect what may lay ahead for you. Focus, balance, and new decisions are required of you as your “status quo” may change. This Mars energy will prompt you to drop your motives and fears, take care of your health, and do more service to help others in distress. You’ll also enjoy many happy moments with family while entertaining your friends. Include potential networking contacts in this mix because one or more of them will come in handy later on in 2020 or as 2021 opens, to advance your career aims. Also, your fondness for digging out the truth will come in handy. Whatever you choose to do for your career now, it is sure to bring you many hours of satisfaction and pleasure. Your magnetism improves as you make an impression on others that is impossible to ignore.

ANIMAL: EAGLE — Spirit
EAGLE Spirit
Fly high,
Touch Great Spirit.
EAGLE
Share your medicine,
Touch me,
Honor me,
So that I may know you too
The feathers of Eagle are considered to be the most sacred of healing tools. They have been used for centuries by shamans to cleanse the auras of patients coming to them for healing. Within the belief system of the Native American Indian tribes, Eagle represents a state of grace achieved through hard work, spiritual understanding, and a completion of the tests of initiation which result in one taking one’s personal power. It is only through the trials of one experiencing the lows in life as well as the highs, and through the trials of trusting one’s connection to the Great Spirit, that the right to use the essence of Eagle is earned
October 2020, brings the vibration of this symbol and is reminding you to take heart and gather your courage, for the Universe is presenting you with an opportunity to soar above the mundane levels of your life. The power of recognizing this opportunity may come in the form of a spiritual test. In being astute, you may recognize the places within your soul, personality, emotions, or psyche that need bolstering or refinement. By looking at the overall tapestry, Eagle teaches you to broaden your sense of self beyond the horizon of what is presently visible.
In learning to fiercely attack your inner fears of the unknown, the wings of your soul will be supported by the ever-present breezes which are the breath of Great Spirit.
Feed your body at this time, but more importantly feed your soul. Within the realm of Mother Earth and Father Sky, the dance that leads to flight involves the conquering of fear and the willingness to join in the adventure that you are co-creating with the Divine.
The Eagle has majestically danced its way into the energies of October 2020, and you are being put on notice to reconnect with the element of Air. Air is of the mental plane, and in this instance, it is of the higher mind, your Blessed Higher Self. Wisdom comes in many strange and curious ways and is always related to the creative force of the Great Spirit.
If you have been living in the past or walking and clinging to former realities, Eagle brings illumination. Eagle asks you to look higher and touch Grandfather Sun with your heart, to love your shadows as well as your light. See the beauty and learning in both, and you will take flight like the Eagle. Eagle medicine is the gift we give ourselves to remind us of the freedom of the skies. Eagle asks you to give permission to legalize freedom and to follow the joy of your heart desires.

RUNE of the Month – Man — Woman — The Human Race
THE SELF
RUNE of the Month – Mannaz
The SELF—The Essence and Starting Point in Life
Mannaz represents the starting point which is the Self. Its essence is water, the sign of Cancer. Only clarity and the willingness to change is effective now. A correct relationship with your self is primary, for from this flows all possible correct relationships with others and with the Divine.
Remain modest – that is the Oracle’s counsel. Regardless of how great may be your merit, be yielding and devoted, moderate and correct, for then you have a true direction for your way of life. Be in the world but not a part of it. That is implicit here, however do not be closed, or narrow, or judging. Remain receptive to impulses flowing from the Divine within and without. Here you might contemplate the words from Hamlet: “To thine own self be true.” These words also may be contemplated, “strive to live the ordinary life in a non-ordinary way.” Remember at all times what is coming to be and passing away, and focus on that which abides. Nothing less is called for from within you now. October 2020, will be a time of major growth and rectification, and as a rule, rectification must come before progress.
This is not a time for trying to gain credit for accomplishments, but rather to seek to fulfill the time span, content to do your tasks for the task’s sake which is the meaning of eminent activity. This will be more of a problem for those whose eyes are always on the goal than for those who have not forgotten how to play and can more easily and readily lose themselves in doing the work for its own sake. Herein lies the secret of experiencing a True presence.
If you take Mannaz, the Rune of Self, and cut it down the middle you have the Rune for Joy with its mirror image. There is a subtle caution here against carelessness. The dancing acrobatic energy of balancing is called for in October, 2020. The Self is required to balance within the Self. Nothing in excess was the second phrase written over the temple in Delphi. The first phrase was Know thyself. With these works the order of the Runes begin.
Above all – this month of October – do not give yourself airs. The momentum of past habits is the challenge here. In the life of Spirit you are always at the beginning.
Don’t be afraid to make the leap or take the chance.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)
In October there’s one thing, and one thing only, that you’re interested in, and that’s straight answers; complete answers, meaningful answers. It’s as if everyone else is speaking a foreign language; or they don’t have a clue, speaking in riddles, or purposefully misleading you. Expect some stunning revelations from others in the middle of some mundane conversations. This could leave you a bit speechless, or unsure about just what to do. Just listen. No one is expecting you to solve any situations. The best thing to do is not to take anything personally while staying grounded and detached.
Libra (9/23-10/22)
October brings a time when you are in your Libra comfort zone, and what a relief that is. Of course, this will only continue until Mercury retrogrades on the 13th. No need to panic or be scared.
