Itās officially spooky season 
and weāre moving into October. Well, letās face it, when you live a magical life itās always spooky season! Anyway, Iāve got my own ideas of what October has us looking at before Iāve even pulled any cards. Letās look back at the Collective Reading 2021 
and see if there are new things coming to light for October. Sometimes things move around and we need to be aware of them going into the next month.
Letās look back at September and see if my Has September Changed? 
Collective Reading Touch Base was of any help.
The collective reading for September saw us looking at the The Mother of Swords Reversed. This card pointed to heavy emotions distorting our perceptions of reality.
Emotions will cloud judgment this month. To what end? I donāt know. When emotions weigh heavily this month, perceptions could be distorted and it can create a path for poor decisions to be made. We must remember to lead with our heads and be rational while keeping our emotions from taking over.
Our touchbase saw us looking at three more cards, all reversed: **The Three of Rods, Ten of Cups, and Seven of Cups.
All the cards I pulled for clarification were reversed. For me, this points to a lot of blockages and general chaos happening. Two of the cards were cups, further playing on the original card of the Mother of Swords who usually lets her logical and emotional maturity lead. However, everyone is capable of letting their emotions get the better of them. When faced with a lot of choices and difficult people or situations in their lives, it is easy to fall into the trap of making choices that make others happy. Iām not too sure how this is going to play out for the rest of the month where you are, but Iām not really looking forward to the emotional chaos that might present itself this month.
In my person life, I felt all the emotions and I know even my fiancƩ did. We had our own rollercoasters that sent us spiraling and twirling in different directions but we were able to make it out on the other side unscathed.
How do you feel about the September touch base reading? Did it make sense for you? I know there are many people here from all over the world and I have a limited perspective here in Florida, USA. Iād love to hear your opinions!
This month, weāre looking at October
As a reminder, this is the card I pulled for October in the collective reading.
October: The World Reversed
The focus may be lost this month and large goals that are in motion can be delayed. Instead of focusing on the future and the big picture, ideas, and events from the past come forward and take center stage. This may lead to goals, no matter how large, being put off for another month to whatever detriment. I get the sense that many people will not be happy about this.
Looking at this card, I pulled three more cards to reflect on and give us a glimpse into the month.
Nine of Rods Reversed :: ā A card that basically points out how stubborn and rigid people can be when faced with adversity or challenges, the Nine of Rods reversed pops in to let us know that someone will be refusing to compromise with us this month. When all parties involved do not work together and do not get along, it can throw a wrench into anyoneās plans and goals. Keep an eye out for this stubbornness.
Ten of Cups :: ā Usually, this is a card of happiness and family. It signifies a growing love with those around you, the fulfillment that comes from a happy family. I have a feeling this card doesnāt so much point to something thatās going to happen but something thatās getting in the way and causing conflictā¦
Four of Pentacles Reversed :: ā Lastly we see the Four of Pentacles reversed. This card here is a reminder to us that spending recklessly and giving without receiving is dangerous. It could also point to giving things away and being generous, possibly volunteering our time or our money to causes that weāre passionate about.
Just as a reminderā¦
The Card of the Year: The Father of Pentacles, Reversed
- obsession with gaining wealth, money, or status
- having money and blowing through it quickly
Goals of 2021: The Son of Wands
- fighting for equitable change
- inspired action fueled by passion and inspiration
Obstacles of 2021: The Empress
- too much of a good thing can turn those good things bad
- an over-abundance of all things that help people grow
Putting it togetherā¦
The first card immediately puts The World Reversed into perspective. If everyone is fighting each other or not willing to compromise, our goals will definitely be put on the back burner. Iām also reminded of all the planets in retrograde and how the astrological forecast could give us insight, too. I do think the 10 of Cups here is a reminder that we need to be gentle with some of our loved ones, even if theyāre the ones causing the rift in communication and compromise. Even then, we might find ourselves taking time out of our day to speak to them, and listen, and hopefully not give up on our goals.
What do you think? Do you have any insight to share from Septemberās reading? And how do you think October is going to go? If you want to do your own reading for the new month, you can find a spread I created over on my website.
I agree that whatās been shared here really does tie in well with 
) spooky season, but these look like some pretty clear warning signs for the month ahead.
