Hello and welcome to my October Month Ahead forecast! I'm so excited to be here with all of you!

Click below for the full report!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Libra - 

As you go through major life changes, expect the best and your optimism will be rewarded. Have faith that your life is changing for the best. You and your loved ones are safe and protected throughout these changes.

Your beautiful and important Divine life purpose is watched over and fully supported by the angels and archangels.

Card of the Month: Metamorphosis

"You are in the process of deep and beautiful change."

Congratulations! You are in a period of great growth and change. The angels tell me that this change might be overwhelming, frightening, or even painful for you, but want you to know that these changes truly are for the best. They say, "The only constant in life is change. If you are feeling sad, afraid, or overwhelmed, call upon us for love, comfort and support and we will be with you instantly."

Scorpio - 

Increased abundance is coming your way, and the ascended masters wish to reassure you about financial support in your life. Notice and follow the repetitive messages they give you through your thoughts, feelings, words, and visions.

The ascended masters surround you and ask you to have faith. Know that they're here to support and assist you with any issue. Don't focus on problems or lack, but instead stay centered in prayer and faith that you are protected, loved, and watched over by all of Heaven.

Card of the Month: Heal the "Ouch"

"Forgiveness is the healer of the soul."

The angels tell me that this will be a month of powerful, deep healing for you. If you have been studying Reiki or other healing modalities, you will experience a deeper understanding of your healing talents and will find new ways to use these gifts. This could also be a sign that it is time to focus on self-healing, especially the healing and release of old wounds. The angels say, "It is tempting to hold on to old hurts, especially when we feel that those old, painful incidents have made us who we are today. But, holding on to your painful past only serves to create more pain for you, like an infection that has not been cleansed and allowed to fully heal. Please, Dear One, find ways to let it go so that you can fully heal and move forward."

Sagittarius - 

The ascended masters say, "Get to work, Lightworker!" Your mission is much needed, and they wish to help you along your path. Don't delay in devoting yourself to the completion of important tasks related to your life purpose.

Have faith that the angels are helping you change your life for the better. To bring in the new, you must release the past.

Card of the Month: Protecting Treasure

"You are always protected and Divinely directed."

You may be experiencing a lot of fear and uncertainty right now. This could be due to major life changes, the loss of a job, or just the state of the world today. The angels say, "You are always Divinely guided and protected. We are with you every moment of every day. Call upon us for strength, courage, guidance, and protection and we will be there to assist you instantly." They also suggest to me that if you are experiencing overwhelming feelings of fear one of the very best things you can do is take a media break. They say, "Human media such as the nightly news, social media, and tabloid magazines are filled with negativity. Removing yourself from these constant streams of bad news and gossip will help you raise your energy vibration back to a high, bright level and will allow you to release much of your fear and anxiety."

Capricorn - 

Change is the only thing that's constant. Trust in this truth, and don't fear the changes you're making and experiencing. As one door closes, another opens for the better.

You're worthy of great abundance and success, so please keep the faith. Trust that new opportunities are answers to your prayers. Walk through the doors that are opening for you, and accept offers of help.

Card of the Month: Magical Map Shifter

"Spirit orchestrates everyone's destiny."

With this card you are being put on notice to keep your eyes open for new opportunities - particularly opportunities that arise through other people who have been placed in your path in order to help you along your journey or to teach you something you need to know in order to move forward. If you are someone who has held on to the idea that asking for or accepting assistance from others makes you "weak" or that the only way to get something done "right" is to do it yourself, this card is a wake up call that this thinking is not only erroneous, but that it is interfering with your life mission and is holding you back.

Aquarius - 

Your prayers about money have been heard and answered by the angels. The Angels of Abundance are with you right now. Know that there is an infinite supply, and that lack is just an illusion. More money is coming to you, so don't worry about your finances.

You're on the right path with your ideas and actions concerning your career. Your new commitment and devotion to your Divine purpose has put you on the right path in all areas of your life. Keep going!

Card of the Month: Wishing Well

"Desire is the sacred impulse for life. Feel it, but let go of all attachment to ownership."

We all have desires, things we want and pray and wish for. This card asks us to acknowledge these desires and wishes, but cautions us not to become so wrapped up in having things in one particular way. For example, it is wonderful to wish to be successful, but it can be damaging to only view success in terms of a certain amount of money, a certain job, or a certain lifestyle. The Wishing Well card asks us to be open to the possibility that we might be happy with something other than our perfect fantasy. Ask for what you want, but be open to the end result. When in doubt, always ask for "this or something better."

Pisces -

Your prayers are heard and answered by the angels and ascended masters, who are with you right now. Talk to them frequently about your feelings and thoughts, and listen to their replies, which come to you as repetitive impressions, signs, and inner signals.

Give any financial fears to God, who is ensuring that your needs are met. Be open to hearing and following Divine guidance.

Card of the Month: Spark

"You are a clear channel for Divine creativity."

When you allow your creative self full expression, you become a channel for the Divine. Whether you write, paint, sculpt, dance, play music, or something else, this card is a clear signal from the Universe to allow your creativity to flow. Do not give in to the Ego's idea that expressing your creativity is a waste of time, useless, or only for children and the childishly irresponsible. Creative expression is one of the easiest and best ways to connect with your Spirit. It feeds your soul and nourishes the Divine spark within you, that part of you that is also a part of God.

Aries - 

Additional angels are surrounding you right now, helping you stay optimistic no matter what is going on around you. The angels know the magical power of faith and they're releasing any negative thoughts and emotions to give you a clear path for the manifestation of your desires. Believe in your angels, and believe in their desire and power to help you.

The key to increasing your financial flow is to use only positive words to describe and think about money. Stay positive about material and financial issues. Your needs have always been met and will continue to be met. Positive thought, not worry, is what manifests abundance for you.

Card of the Month: Stuck in the Mud

"You're being invited to stop and savor the wonder of your life."

You may have been feeling as though you are stuck, going nowhere no matter how hard you try to make things happen. This card is a confirmation of these feelings and a message from Spirit letting you know that now is not the time to go racing ahead, pursuing lofty goals or trying to make things happen. You may have become so caught up in trying to be successful and 'get ahead' that you have stopped really living your life. Take this time to focus on your self. Go get a massage. Spend time with good friends. Go for a nature walk. Laugh! Do those things that really feed your soul and nurture your spirit. This is just a pit stop along the way, an opportunity to slow down and catch your breath. Don't worry, you'll be back on the road in no time!

Taurus - 

God is helping you to change your life in healthful new ways. You are being urged to make this change. God and the spirit world ensure that the transition is harmonious, and that you and your loved ones are supported in all ways. Let go, and let God help you during this time of change.

The angels are helping you with your career and finances. You can feel this help, and are beginning to relax and feel better about your financial needs.

You have much support from the angels regarding the changes you are making right now. These changes are financially successful provided that you stay optimistic and connected to Divine guidance.

Card of the Month: Compass

"As long as you orient your compass to True North - the direction of your higher power - you will never be lost."

You may be finding yourself being guided to travel outside of your comfort zone this month. The angels say, "Never fear! As long as you follow your heart, you will always be on the right path! When in doubt, ask yourself if what you are doing gives you joy. Does it feed your soul? Does it spread love and light to the world? If the answer is yes, then you are on the right path at the right time doing the right thing."

Gemini - 

You're on the right path and the outcome will exceed your expectations! Divine magic is supporting you and opening doors of opportunity. Keep up the good work!

The changes you're experiencing help you with material and earthly desires. Keep your sacral chakra (near the base of your spine) clear and balanced to continue bringing these desires into your reality. Follow through on your new ideas and opportunities, as they will make your life easier and relieve you of stress.

Card of the Month: Into the Unknown

"Trust ... and all will be revealed."

The angels tell me that this card is a sign that you will be blazing new territory this month, leaving behind your normal comfort zone to explore new things. This could mean taking a class that you've wanted to take, finally starting your own business, going on a trip to an unexplored city, state, or country or revealing yourself to the world in a new and different way. The angels say, "Even though you may feel uncomfortable at first, remember that everything will work out for the best in the end." Embrace this new season in your life and enjoy the ride! Magic and miracles abound!

Cancer -

The angels say, "Watch your thoughts and only think about love and success. In this way, only love and success come into your life." The angels are available to help you choose positive thoughts as you call upon them for help.

God and the ascended masters are working with you to lift your thoughts and energies so that they're centered and loving.

The feminine aspect of creation is also strongly supporting you and your work right now. Be open to receiving, and notice your intuitive, feeling nature. Call upon the goddess to assist you in staying positive. Get in tune with the moon cycles, and notice how they affect your emotions and manifestations as well.

Card of the Month: Unexpected Visitors

"If you expect the unexpected, you'll be prepared for miracles."

The angels remind me of the quote, "Those who do not believe in magic will never find it, but those who believe will find it everywhere." This card is a message from the Universe asking us to expect magic, to believe in miracles, and to know that we are surrounded by guides, guardian angels, and other magical beings all the time. This is also a reminder that in order to really see the wonderful, miraculous, magical things all around us we must sometimes release control and expectation. We humans suffer from something I like to call "expectation blindness." The best example of this I can think of in my part of the world are motorcycles. Once a year we are sampled with motorcycles passing through Wyoming on their way to Sturgis Rally in South Dakota. That time of year, we are bombarded with ads from the state police reminding us to LOOK for motorcycles on the road. It may seem silly, but you can actually not see things like a speeding motorcycle on the highway simply because you don't expect to see them. The same is true of magic and miracles. Many of us never see them simply because we don't expect to see them. So, this month, make a point to open your eyes and LOOK for magic - because it's there just waiting for you to find it!

Leo - 

The angels ask you to get to work on your Divine mission without delay. Now is the time to finish any incomplete projects. Clear the space in your calendar to work on your true priorities. Ask your guides and angels to help you with ideas, courage, and motivation.

You're making the perfect changes at the perfect time, which will enable you to heal your career and finances. Keep going!

Card of the Month: Talisman

"A lesson truly learned is crystallized as earned wisdom. You have all you need for the success you seek."

In the most basic sense, Wisdom is living life and learning from the mistakes you make along the way. This card is a reminder that this is also the case with our spiritual journey. We are in a period of great growth and change right now, and the angels tell me that this is an excellent time to look back on your journey and on the mistakes you may have made along the way. What have you learned from these mistakes? How could you pass the wisdom along to others? Are there lessons you are still trying to learn? Ask your guides and angels for their assistance and they will be there to help you!

Virgo - 

Stay positive. Everything you're thinking about right now is coming true, so be sure that you're only thinking about what you desire. Give any fears to God and the angels.

Your trust and optimism are warranted because your ideas about your spiritually based career are right on the mark. Keep believing in yourself and your dreams. This belief gives you the energy and the manifesting power for your Divine life purpose.

Card of the Month: Bone Collector

"You are whole and have everything you need within."

When the Bone Collector appears, she is asking us to take a look at our past, particularly the painful parts of our past which we are carrying with us right now. She says, "When you refuse to let go of the pain, or allow that painful incident to change the person you are, you are picking up a bone and carrying it with you. You keep that bone until you are able to let go of that painful incident and move forward. If you collect too many bones, they will drag you down and keep you chained in the past." Are you carrying around painful episodes from your past? Have you allowed them to write on the slate of who you are by telling yourself that you are unworthy, unloved, dirty, stupid, or any other negative attribute? If so, the angels are asking you to let these painful moments go. They say, "We are right here with you, Dear One, with open, loving arms. Ask us to help you with this task of letting go and we will be with you, assisting you and supporting you."

Letting go of painful past events can be very difficult and may require the assistance of a trained professional. If you have been struggling with depression or have had thoughts of harming yourself, please seek help! Ask your angels to find you the right professional to help you and they will do so.
