Here’s my spiritual guidance October/November 2025, covering the lunar month beginning with the Libra new moon on October 21st at 1.25pm (UK) through to November 19th. Every new lunar month I draw one card from the Thoth Tarot to spark intuitive insight about the key energy to navigate by during the coming four weeks. I then take a quick look at the astrology.
Spiritual guidance October/November 2025 inspired by the Tarot
After months of intensity and transformation, the Four of Cups invites you to pause, breathe, and let the emotional waters settle. This is a time to reflect and remember what truly nourishes your heart, not through striving or seeking but through quiet appreciation.
When the world feels heavy with conflict and fear, when headlines stir despair or exhaustion, it’s easy to become trapped in noticing only what’s wrong. This lunar cycle asks you to turn your gaze gently inward towards the light that is still here – the love, kindness, and beauty that persist beneath the noise.

The quickest way to calm the waters of restless discontent is through gratitude. Start by naming the small, steady blessings that hold your life together: clean water, warmth, a safe home, the sound of laughter, freedom of expression. These are the daily miracles you can so easily overlook. You change your experience simply by shifting the way you think and feel about it.
Notice, too, how love moves through your life. Do you offer it freely, or hold it back, waiting for it to be returned or earned? Do you lose yourself in others’ needs or hold on to them too tightly? As Kahlil Gibran wrote, “Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; for love is sufficient unto love.”
The luxury of the Four of Cups isn’t about indulgence, it’s about the richness of presence. When you rest in awareness of the love already here – the warmth of friends, the misty gold of morning light, the simple rhythm of breath – your heart becomes a sanctuary, unshaken by outer turbulence.
If impatience or frustration arises, as I’m seeing in many clients currently, remember: calm water reflects the clearest vision. Inspiration and clarity won’t come from effort or force this month. They’ll come like a breeze rippling across the waves — softly, naturally, when you’ve made enough space for them to land. Gratitude restores flow. What you seek may already be before you, just waiting for you to see it and act upon it. The more you drop into appreciation for what already is and for who you already are, the more creative space you make for what can be.
The Four of Cups’ astrological tie to the moon in Cancer reminds you that true emotional wealth extends beyond the self; it’s rooted in care for what you call home: your body, your loved ones, your community, and this living Earth. Every compassionate act, from tending your inner peace to offering a kind word, nourishes the greater whole. A gentle hug, a meal, a prayer for the world; these simple gestures illuminate the collective field.
Those at the threshold of death often speak one truth. Love is the only thing we take with us. Each moment of love and joy shared with others in connection and community – human or otherwise – is precious and sacred. Precisely because you know they are fleeting. These themes are very much associated with the season and the approaching Celtic festival of Samhain.
So this lunar month, pause. Reflect. Offer quiet thanks for all that sustains you and attend to it, knowing that there will inevitably be change. Share your blessings. You may just feel the heartbeat of divine love pulsing through all things. A reminder that the universe is not separate from you but moving with you, in perfect harmony, every moment. Always.
“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and enough into abundance.”

Guidance October/November 2025 from astrology
The new moon in Libra on the 21st October has a vital message to impart about finding solutions to the abuse of power in existing structures and systems. Mercury and Mars are conjunct in Scorpio’s watery depths, pointing to the transformational potential of journeys, meetings, and news at this time. Keep your wits about you.
Watch out for possible mistakes around the Taurus full moon on the 5th November, when Mars opposes Uranus. Continue to be careful from the 8th to the 12th during a line-up of planetary reversal. Something needs to slow down to allow focus on more significant work. After this it’s easier to trust your judgement.
On the 15th November there’s a rare alignment of nearly all planets in the Star of David pattern. This is a doorway to harmony and balance through which heaven and earth can unite.
