October is imbued with the spirit of the approaching Samhain — the best time to practice magic, perform rituals, and learn new directions in this field.
Autumn at this time generously shares its gifts, reminding us of Samhain as the festival of the Last Harvest. So even if during Mabon you didn’t feel the results or the fruits of your efforts, there’s no need to despair: sometimes seeds require more time to ripen, and it is now that they begin to manifest, filling life with new energy and meaning.
October promises to be a time of significant change and inner growth. Its energies form two main lines: on one hand, they awaken a desire for greater independence, the ability to rely on oneself, and to build a personal path; on the other hand, they stir the need for emotional closeness, sincere sharing of feelings, and the subtle, invisible threads that connect us to others.
Within this duality lies the special strength of the month: it allows us to feel both our independence and the need for connection. Do not be surprised if in mid-autumn a thirst for love awakens, a desire to look more deeply at your relationships emerges, or if you reconsider what once seemed familiar. October opens hearts to new experiences and teaches us to see in every event not only the outcome but also the path to true understanding of ourselves and the world.
To highlight the energies that will guide you throughout the upcoming month, I lay out the Gypsy runes on the Wheel of Ruk and Boler. The spiritual rune of the month defines its transformational mood, while the four elemental runes reveal the flow directed by each element.
🌟 Spiritual Essence of the Month 🌟
The “Moon” rune activates our inner magic and helps us manifest our desires in reality. These energies invite us to look deeper into the subconscious, to surrender to inner intuition, and to face the images of our desires, hidden fears, and true aspirations in order to experience harmony and subtle connection with Higher Forces.
Even if causal connections seem blurred, as if dissolved in the autumn fog, trust your inner voice: it will lead you to where events begin to unfold in the best possible way, even if at first it seems unexpected or illogical.
💨 Air 💨
The transformation rune “Bone” reflects the energies of transition into the darker season. October’s currents point us toward internal change, re-evaluation of old patterns and ideas. When we realize that old images no longer correspond to who we have become, the process of discovering new forms of self-expression and interaction with the outside world begins. This is the time to reassess relationships, values, and perspectives on life.
Do not fear change; it brings growth and development. Analyze the key points of your new system, your new self-vision, and define your place in the world. This process will help you understand how you are connected to others and to the world around you. Build new bridges and open new opportunities!
🔥 Fire 🔥
The life rune “Tree” reminds us that the source of strength for accomplishing our main goals lies within us. This month teaches us to maintain and nurture the flame of faith so that neither doubts nor regrets of the past can extinguish it. Important steps may seem difficult, but if you close your eyes, take a deep breath, and allow yourself to move forward without overloading your mind with extraneous thoughts, the flow of your path will lift and support you.
October’s energies begin to bring the first harbingers of upcoming holidays — Yule, Christmas, and New Year. Though these celebrations are still ahead, the atmosphere already shifts: the air is filled with a sense of renewal, and the soul senses that change is near. The inner fire encourages you not to postpone your plans and to seek and experiment in areas of life you never dared explore. Often, the deepest opportunities for self-realization lie precisely where you never looked before.
💦 Water 💦
The “Mother” rune is focused on subtle, soulful interactions with others. This period is especially favorable for strengthening intimate connections, when two souls can truly unite. It offers the opportunity to openly express your feelings, reveal hidden aspects of your personality, and give life to desires and aspirations that have long remained in the shadows. Bringing into light what was previously suppressed helps restore inner resources, maintain health, and find the strength to support others when they need it.
Special attention should be given to family relationships — the connections between parents and children may reveal new levels of self-understanding, personal maturity, and wholeness. By reassessing these relationships, we gain the chance to see our habits, reactions, and ways of interacting, which allows for deeper awareness of our internal strengths and limitations.
🌱 Earth 🌱
This month, it is particularly important to consider which values and principles from your family history you carry into your life, providing strength and confidence to move forward. With the energies of the “Tooth” rune, we delve into the essence of our own power, gaining access to inexhaustible resources and inner support.
Exploring questions of lineage, family patterns, and inherited programs helps us understand how they shape our personality and influence the path we choose. Conscious engagement with these energies allows us not only to draw strength from the past but also to use it in building the future, creating harmonious relationships and confidence in our actions.
Let the magical energies of October breathe new life into your dreams and desires. Believe in yourself, follow your intuition, and greet each day with an open heart and mind. And may the Spirits of the Elements be kind to you! 🚀🌟
