302. MONTHLY MEDICINE: October is Create

302. MONTHLY MEDICINE: October is Create

Author: Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul October 1, 2025 Duration: 52:30

The water is flowing, the metaphorical arrow is flying through the air -- finally, with the month of October comes the movement, clarity, and expansion we've been waiting for. The theme of the month ahead is Create, and if we're willing to work with it, we can make extraordinary moves in our lives. 

The big work we will be doing this month isn't actually in the act of creating itself, but the resistance and inner protection that lies between us and this proverbial river, or arrow. The key for us will be to hold the aspects of us that have misgivings and doubts about this process, while taking those longed for leaps into creation and movement at the same time. 


Our Soul Tarot Reading for October

Card for the month ahead: Knight of Swords, King of Wands, Wheel of Fortune

Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Four of Cups

How can we best work with it?: Ace of Pentacles and The Fool
