The artist this month is Hope Gangloff (@hopeloff). The definition of vibrant is full of energy and enthusiasm. Gangloff’s color palette is vibrant. She is known for her large portraits, but with Covid her subjects have changed to more landscapes and still lives. Her paintings are still color saturated. A lesson in color theory, and possibly a nod to Edvard Munch’s exploration in vivid colors. But her new exploration of our everyday surroundings sets us the viewer to see the world still full of energy and enthusiasm. That possible with Covid, a divided world, injustices every day in the news, etc… that we can still see life and hope around us.
Solar System highlights: This week the Moon starts in Virgo – a time for organizing. Then on Oct 5th it goes into Libra with the new Moon on the 6th – all about relationships. October 7th it goes into Scorpio – feed your passions. On October 9th it goes in Sagittarius- taking mini trips on the weekend. Mercury is still retrograde in Libra– great for communication, creating networks and getting in touch with friends. Remember when Mercury is retro not a great time to start projects but a great time to Review, Reflect and Revise, and of course back -up your technology.
Venus is in Scorpio – a great time to feed your pleasures and passions but in general watch overindulgences. Mars is Libra too – another planet sending energy into investigating relationships this is around the question are your actions following your words? This theme and work around your relationships is big until Mercury moves into Scorpio Nov. 7th. And lastly, Jupiter and Saturn are in Aquarius – so innovating and upping your game is their focus for the rest of this year.
P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Libra this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Aries it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check-in, now is the time.
May light be on you, around you, and within you,
Nina
Aries
Six of Cups – This is your second six so a quick dive into this number. Sixes are about balance and information. Last week was about cause and effect and how far you ripple out into your world. This week it is the balance of past and present. There is some information from your childhood that needs to be either used and/or resolved this week.
Taurus
Nine of Cups – Finally this week brings you a break from the past month’s big energies. This week the Muse of Contentment has come to remind you that simple things like tea and toast, a cat’s purr or a bird song is as delightful and probably more sustaining then the big energies of last months. Have gratitude for the humble moments this week.
Gemini
Seven of Swords – The Muse of Authenticity is here to help you with aspects of either your environment or yourself that have been hidden away because of guilt, fear, or mistrust. Tread lightly to find the truth but it does need to see the light of day, so it doesn’t fester.
Cancerian
Seven of Cups – Last week the Muse of Stagnation had you in a hovering pattern. Which perfectly concedes with Mercury in retrograde a great time to review, reflect and revise, and possibly a download from the Universe. This energy continues as does the retrograde until October 18th. Thus, this week the Muse of Dreams advises to take time to daydream as well as look to your night dreams for information and guidance.
Leo
*Judgment – Well the Big Sister of Justice continues the lesson around fairness and decisions, but she ups the ante by asking does this sense of Justice help you evolve? So last week you dealt with the concept that true Justice is slow and complex. And your actions around fairness should be reflecting not only the truth but how that truth is dealt. Now this energy wants you to step back and see if you are dealing with or judging the world, possible yourself, and narrowing your possibilities with past mistakes or grievances. When you should be broadening and building the new world and more evolved you. Motto: Be the change you want to see in the world -Ghandi.
Virgo
Seven of Coins – The Muse of the Harvest has come to help you muster all that needs to be done this week. The challenge is choosing what will give you more bang for the buck. She guides your energy with this question: Does what you do this week contribute to what you will need in the coming months?
Libra
Knight of Coins – The second energy to work with for this coming year is Muse of Pace. She asks at what new pace do you want to move at. Take this month to find the tempo in which you work at most efficiently. Whether you excel as a marathoner or a sprinter, the goal for this coming year is to set up the schedules and systems to support you at the stride you choose.
Scorpio
*Temperance – Last week the Muse of Opportunity was opening doors for you to dabble in new worlds. This week the energy slows with the Muse of Patience and Moderation. Use this energy to reduce your speed and rebalance. This is perfectly synced with Mercury’s retrograde this week. Last week opened your eyes and mind to new things, this week take time to process that information to see it’s usefulness.
Sagittarius
Six of Wands – The Muse of the Laurel has come to celebrate with you. This week reflect on past successes before moving ahead. Not only will this review in successful strategies help you going forward, but it also allows you to take a break from the hustle and bustle to enjoy yourself.
Capricorn
*Death – The Muse of Composting has arrived to help review and recycle what no longer serves. The challenge is your refuse is still useful in growing to the next level. Take the nutrients from the past to grow the future.
Aquarius
Queen of Cups – The past couple of weeks have had some complex and heavy energies. First the Muse of the Shadow Self triggered and tested you on behavior patterns that no longer serve you. Then Muse of Healing reminded you that every scar represents the wound of the past, the healing of the present and the potentials of the future. Now, the Muse of Compassion comes to help guide you through this healing process. She reminds you the best way to tend to yourself and others is to hold space. Listen with your heart open.
Pisces
Queen of Coins – The Muse of Luxury is taking you out on a shopping spree or a scrumptious dinner. This energy advises you to spend some money on yourself. You deserve it. Though her practical side reminds you quality over quantity.
Eight of Wands – Last week you needed to hone your skills in riding with the waves of Life. This energy went about rebalancing karmic debts, but as you will discover things are beginning to work in your favor this week. The Muse of Momentum is pushing you to the next level. The challenge is, are you ready?
Seven of Cups – The Muse of Dreaming and Wishes suggests your mantra to be I seize the opportunity to dream. This week push the realms of practicality and dream outside your comfort zone.
Ace of Coins – You are surrounded by the energy of prosperity. This is a great week to start a new project, launch or relaunch a product/service, invest and plant seeds. What you plant/focus on now will grow. Your mantra this week is I create abundance with the resources I already have at my fingertips.
*Hermit – The Muse of Hermitage is directing you to pull away from society. Gaining perspective is needed this week. By retreating from civilization, you calm your mind and see your next steps to journey back into humanity with more mindfulness. The challenge is informing people of your boundaries while keeping your ringer on for emergencies. Your mantra this week: When I step back, I regroup and renew. 
*Devil – The Muse of Being Bound arrives continuing to help in the process of letting go of the material. The challenge is this week is also full of distractions and temptations to not deal with your emotional or obligational bindings. The key is to start small and work your way up or deeper depending on the case. Remember, the material plane is here to help you grow, not hold you to a past you no longer vibrate with. Your mantra: I let go of the old to welcome the new.
*Empress – If you didn’t do your vison board/lists for where you want to be in 2026 you have another week to start it. Remember you are supposed to tweak it for the rest of 2021. If you did, then you can jump right in and start creating. The Muse of Creation is here with ideas and supplies. However, she has a challenge about being honest with yourself about the choices in how you will tend to your future. Either you can commit to tending to your creativity for the next 10 months, or you can fling your seeds into the wind to see what grows 10 months from now. You have a choice whether to specifically grow what you want or forage what you need in the wild. So, pick your mantra: My life is rich and ripe with possibilities that I can manifest and create. Or My world has infinite possibilities that will manifest for the higher good. 
Three of Coins – Your first muse for the coming year is the Muse of Teamwork. The energy has come to advise you to ask for help and bounce your ideas off others. Whatever you are working on it is more fortuitous or more likely of having success with more sets of eyes, minds, and hands then just yours. Your mantra: Collaboration is key to learning and growing.
Queen of Cups – Last week the Muse of Relationships reminded you to treat people how you would like to be treated. The challenge was it is not always reciprocated. But she had you ponder does it matter to who you want to be in the world? Now the Muse of Fun is at your door with games and outings into nature. This is another week where relationships are important but where last week it could be draining this week it fills your cup. Your mantra: My relationship with others reflects that I am worthy of love and respect.
Eight of Cups – The Muse of Simplicity has come to help you clean out your physical and emotional closets. This energy wants you to discern your needs from your wants, and then make sure what surrounds you and resonates within you fulfill those needs. This focus guides you this week in all your decisions. Your mantra: I will no longer hold onto what isn’t right for me.
Hanged Man – The Muse of Inertia comes when you need to alter your perception of something in your life. This energy stops you from moving forward until you find a solution to a lingering problem. And her advise is to look at it from other angles. Like a painter does when they are stuck, they turn the canvas upside down to see what is needed to balance the composition. Your mantra: I let go of my attachment to how I think things should be so I can open my mind to what it can be.
Nine of Coins – The Muse of Success has come to help you build upon what you have successfully obtain thus far. This is not a time to add more to your plate, but to work on what you need to make the coming months move with more ease. Your mantra: I am solidifying my security in the world.
*High Priestess – The Muse of Intuition and Higher Purpose has come to fine tune your instincts. This Muse likes to play with metaphors, signs, and synchronicities. This energy reminds you that there is a plan though you may not see the whole picture, but by following your intuition you will end up in the right place at the right time. Your mantra: When I tune into and trust the vibes, I will obtain higher wisdom. 
Page of Cups – The Muse of Optimism has come to help you see that the world can have beautiful and joyous moments. She does this by reminding you to take the perspective of a child where everything is a wonder and new. By perceiving the cup half full, this week becomes easier and a bit more fun. Your mantra: I open my heart allowing wonder and virtue to lead me on my path.
