Welcome to the November Astrology & Akashic Forecast! This month, we dive deep into the rhythm of the season, slowing down and honoring the cycles that guide us inward.

We explore how planetary alignments are urging us to get practical, connect with our ancestors, and tune into our own sacred inner kingdom. Below is a breakdown of each week's key themes and energies. Tune in as we navigate this journey of cosmic insight, guiding you to align with November's transformative and stabilizing currents.

Please note that each week is now timestamped -finding the week you wish you listen to.

November 1st - 3rd [18:04]

Week 1 [23:18 timestamp]: As the seasons turn, this week invites you to tend to yourself with the same devotion you might give your home or hearth. With the Sun and Moon in Scorpio trine Saturn, it's a great time to honor your shadowy parts and set intentions around intuition. 

Week 2 [27:50 timestamp]: The ancestors are calling, and this week is about listening beyond the usual senses. As Venus moves into Capricorn, embrace the discipline of pleasure and allow it to guide you. Tune into the subtle messages around you — in nature, in your dreams, and in quiet moments of reflection. 

Week 3 [36:20 timestamp]: Step into a week of wild revelation and unexpected truths as Mercury slows down and Pluto enters Aquarius. Trust the wisdom within and let your boundaries be rooted as you navigate what is surfacing. Remember, grounded awareness brings clarity, no matter what stories unfold around you. 

Week 4 [45:20 timestamp]: Rediscover the divine in yourself this week by releasing old beliefs and definitions as Mercury retrogrades. This is a chance to experience the holy within you — not as something outside, but as a presence that is always here, waiting for you to say hello. As the Sun trines Mars, take action to open yourself up to different perspectives and let go of the stale narratives that have held you back.

In this episode, I share the story that reshaped my life: becoming a mother in 2011 and losing my father in 2012. Life didn’t just turn upside down—it shattered and remade me in the fires of both M O T H E R H O O D and loss. This is my origin story.

I dive deep into the raw truth of my father's death—how he left this world with rage, anger, and venom in his heart. His final words, though forgotten, left a brand on my soul, one that has guided me ever since. That venom, oddly enough, became my anti-venom. It saved me from a life of complacency, codependency, and mediocrity.

In this episode, we explore:
✨ How the wounds from my father’s anger became a path to healing and transformation.
✨ The promise I made to myself: "I will not die with bitterness in my heart, and I will not pass this on to my children."
✨ The invitation from ancestors, divine whispers, and inner guidance to walk this path of self-discovery.
✨ Forgiveness as an ongoing practice, even when the person who hurt you isn’t here to hear it.
✨ The tools and modalities I’ve learned over a decade—not to grow a business, but to become the best mother and partner I can be.

This isn't just about grief or motherhood—it's about the deeper invitations life gives us to become. To break free from the patterns that no longer serve us. To embrace the full spectrum of love, presence, and purpose, even when things get hard.

You’ll also hear how my business is evolving to reflect this journey, with a focus on stewardship, love without conditions, and embracing the chaos with grace. If you’re ready to step into your own transformation, join me in ATTUNED, my practice for mothers seeking nourishment on the path of inner work.

This month, your ancestors are whispering, not from some far-off cosmic realm but from the land under your feet and the air around you. Their wisdom is not elusive; it’s present in the warmth of the sun, the breeze on your skin, and even in the pride of a child. October is about feeling this connection—embracing the magic already within you and recognizing the deep support you have from those who came before.

Key Highlights:

• Week of Oct 7: The breath of the earth calls. Are you too caught up in the illusion? Tune into the real world around you and notice how your body resonates with truth.
• Week of Oct 14: Division reflects inner discord. What if external chaos is a mirror? Find your center and stop trying to control everything outside of you.
• Week of Oct 21: Life cycles on. Embrace where you are, not just where you're going. Can you be fully present in your body and let go of the chase for healing?
• Week of Oct 28: Rest. The dark moon is approaching. This is a time to preserve your energy, retreat, and surrender to the flow as you listen to the quiet wisdom around you.

With a solar eclipse, new moon, and potent full moon energy this month, you're being asked to release old patterns, tap into ancestral wisdom, and take actions that align with your soul’s purpose. Are you ready to listen? Your ancestors are waiting.

  We’re flipping the script on what’s “realistic” and redefining what freedom and abundance look like on your terms.
• Navigating the Awkward Gap Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming

Embrace the Cosmic Shifts: Riding the Tides of Change

• Harvest Season: It's time to reap what you've sown. Reflect on the seeds planted in spring—are you satisfied with the fruit, or are you tasting the bittersweet of outgrown dreams? Remember, it's natural to evolve beyond what once fit.
• Week 1 - Purification:
  • Clear the Clutter: Pause and purge what's no longer yours, whether it's physical, mental, or emotional baggage. It's a season of abundance, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed—make space for what truly matters.
  • Astro Insights:
    • Uranus & Pluto Movements (Sept 1st): Expect pivots and changes. Uranus nudges us to clean and purify, while Pluto's final dance in Capricorn urges us to reclaim our power from outdated structures.
    • New Moon in Virgo: Balance and boundaries come to the forefront. Avoid burnout by taking responsibility for your energy—let go of the need to do it all.
    • Eclipse Portal: Brace for a feeling of being pushed. It's a transformative time, inviting us to shed the old and root down into deeper spaces of home and self.
• Week 2 - Creating Space:
  • Distance for Clarity: Use this time to recalibrate your nervous system and understand who you are without constant enmeshment with others. Lean into symbiotic relationships over codependent ones.
  • Astro Insights:
    • Mercury Re-enters Virgo (Sept 9-15): Revisit themes from early August with a clearer mind. Take this opportunity to clean up loose ends and embrace slower, more deliberate steps forward.
    • Eclipse Energy Intensifies: The cosmic shifts ask us to take space and allow what's not ours to fall away. Keep grounded as Sun squares Jupiter and Venus trines Jupiter.
• Week 3 - Embracing Mistakes:
  • Mistakes as Growth: How do you handle missteps? This week, reframe your perspective—what if mistakes are simply a testament to your engagement with life?
  • Astro Insights:
    • Venus Trine Jupiter (Sept 15): Indulge in what feels expansive and pleasurable.
    • Sun in Virgo, Moon in Pisces (Sept 17): An eclipse brings clarity and illumination. You might feel foggy or confused as Neptune weaves its mystical and compassionate energy, but stay curious and present.
• Week 4 - Navigating New Energies:
  • The Weird & Wonderful: The world feels different, and that's okay. Embrace the disorientation and focus on finding your inner light to guide you through this transition.
  • Astro Insights:
    • Pluto Sweeping Through Capricorn: It's clear we can't go back—2025 promises a whole new wave of energy.
    • Mercury Movements (Sept 25-26): As Mercury opposes Neptune and moves into Libra, expect creative but hazy vibes. This is a time for diplomacy and open communication. Keep your mind balanced as new ideas emerge.

The Akashic Forecast for August reminds us that amid the wild winds of change, our very existence was born from chaos. This month, it's crucial to center ourselves, reconnect with our bodies, and create safe spaces for ourselves and others during these times of transformation.

• Week 1 (August 1-4): Tests our resilience, urging us to release what isn't ours and stand firm in our truth.

• Week 4: Brings a wild, transformative energy as we choose ourselves over old habits.
• Week 5: Invites us to reflect on the month's journey and prepare for future transformations.

Astrologically, August is a roller coaster of expansion and contraction. The Leo New Moon on August 4th encourages us to roar our individual truths and plant new seeds of self-expression. With Venus in Virgo, it’s a perfect time for organizing and productivity. As Mercury retrogrades, we face moments of stillness and introspection, revisiting unfinished projects and unresolved conversations. The peak of Leo’s energy during Llamas highlights the need to embrace both light and shadow. The Mars-Jupiter alignment on August 14th brings big, awakening energy, perfect for new ideas and projects. The Aquarius Full Moon squares Uranus, creating an electrifying tension that urges us to find our individual place within the collective.

Today’s episode is a deeply personal one. I’m sharing my journey of how I’m finally living my 10-year plan after 13 years of trials, spiritual work, and countless failures. It’s been a long road, but I’m here to tell you it’s possible.

When I had my daughter, all I wanted was to slow down, enjoy good food, and reconnect with my roots. My big dream was to work from home, raise my child and chickens, and return to the land. It’s taken over a decade and a lot of shifting from the Achievement Mind—constantly seeking external validation—to tuning into my own system, dreams, and goals.

Now, I’m living on a small farm, raising chickens, growing a massive garden, and watching my two kids play outside while I work from home. It wouldn’t have been possible without the shifts I’m sharing with you in this episode.

We’ll dive into the difference between the Achievement Mind and the Belonging Mind. Have you ever found yourself chasing goals, only to feel unfulfilled? Or questioned your worth, asking, "Who am I to pursue this dream?" If so, you’re in the right place.

We’re exploring the true nature of imposter syndrome and why these doubts arise. It’s time to stop asking "Who am I to?" and start embracing "Who are you not to?" We’ll uncover practical strategies and evidence-based insights to help you overcome these mental blocks and start sharing your unique gifts with the world.

This episode is for you if:

• You're shifting from the addiction that comes from external validation into internal validation.
• You’ve been working on your business / personal dreams but inner doubt is causing you to question their value.
• You convince yourself through vast daydreams that your creations are insignificant and no one really cares what you have to say.
• You know it feels good to get your ideas and make excuses that you're too busy when really you're afraid of failure.
• You’ve found yourself stuck in the if/then paradigm: "If I achieve this goal, work with this spiritual teacher, I will then arrive and feel the way I want to feel and life will be dandy."

Join me as we explore these themes and I share my personal experience of moving from self-doubt to self-belief. Trust me, it’s going to feel incredible when you finally let go of those doubts and step into your power! 🤪

Don’t miss this empowering episode. Tune in now and let’s journey together towards a life where your achievements and sense of belonging coexist beautifully.

Big love,
 Meg
