October, 2026 Newsletter

October 2026 Cover
Greetings Enlightened friends,

Much like how the seasons here in the Midwest change, so does the seasons in our lives. For some folks they are moving, starting a new career, a family or others may be in a season to retire and travel.

As mentioned, I am in a cycle and season of change much like many others. There is a sense of completion and must heed the call to other new ventures. This is how we evolve and grow.

For 27 years, I have watched many flow right with the changes of the cosmos without them realizing it. I observed clients change jobs, go back to school or make a move when they did not know that was being prompted in their personal charts. That is still amazing to me to witness.

When we tune in to the higher frequency - the cosmos, listen to our intuition, and flow with the divine, it all comes together effortlessly.

October/Libra Messages

Libra
October, or as known in Divine AstrolPsycyhology, as Libra season, is continuing to guide us on our journey to determine our next steps. When we look at the image, it gives us many clues on symbolic and literal levels.

One is about balancing. How we balance our day with work and rest, our inner and outer realms and harnessing quiet time with our busy time.

Libra is also about reconciling, harmonizing and a form of justifying. Think of the symbol inside courtrooms - “scales of justice” that determine how we justify what is truthful, fair and balanced.

So this month, let’s seek and find our balance, truths and equanimity.

We can ask ourselves the following:

What allows us to feel we are operating in fairness for all involved? What helps me to feel balanced? What are my truths?

Venus Retrograde

Cosmic Wheel
From October 3rd, to November 13th, 2026, we have Venus retrograde in the sign of Scorpio, and then back into Libra.

Venus is the sign of love, divine feminine, beauty and money.

Scorpio is about money, such as your paychecks, power dynamics, investments and portfolios. Libra is about relationships (all relationships/partnerships)

It is suggested to look at money during this time. Understand its value, much like your own self-value, as it pertains to your social settings and interactions. Look for long term stability, strength, and strong foundation in these matters.

Since Venus focuses a lot on the Divine Feminine, it will showcase relationships with females. From mother daughter, sisters, colleagues, friends and so forth. We may be working out our shadow work, concepts, beliefs and patterns.
Shadow work: is the practice of noticing, owning, and integrating the parts of yourself you hide, deny, or project onto others, so they stop running your life from the dark.

With our female social settings and interactions, note the behavior, responses, patterns or reactions for these 6 weeks. It may be serving as a mirror to what we need to learn. It is a part of this shadow work.

Also, since Scorpio deals with power struggles and when Sister Sage says this, it means not who is right and who is wrong, this is a potential lack of inner power and desiring to have more boundaries, so the shadow work will look like power trips.

Again, these are all forms of working out our shadow stuff. The working it out may be called The Shadow Dance. What we show to the world and what we hide. Learn the dance and movement so that these hidden (shadow) parts no longer have to seize control or use other people to be felt.

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury Retrograde
From October 24th, 2026 to Friday November 13th, 2026 we have Mercury in Retrograde in Scorpio.

While Mercury goes retrograde let us be grateful that Venus goes direct today.

Scorpio is about power dynamics (elections), monies, payrolls, investments, corporations, stock market and banks.
This is our last Mercury retrograde of 2026 and we can take this time to slow our roll as we move into the holidays. Be more discerning about who, what and where, we spend our time and money. What is it that we might purchase or buy that has more significant meaning may be the question?

Listen to your deepest intuition make purchases after the mercury retrograde period is over.

Our retrogrades thankfully are releasing their grip as we enter into the holidays.

Until next months newsletter, have a fun Halloween weekend!

With Cosmic Love

Sister Sage
Until next time, Safe Astrological Journeys
