Transit Tonic for October
Monthly Theme: Fear to Fierce: Freefall into Trust
ARC Focus: Awareness → Trusting What You Know (Especially When You Doubt It)
Emotional Pulse: Fear, urgency, legacy, timing, invisibility, judgment, protection
Some of us love this time of year - Fall - at least in the Northern Hemisphere. It brings a chill. It snaps us out of complacency. It reminds us that the only true constant in life is change. We notice the temperature drop, the new color.
We feel it even if we don’t consciously acknowledge it.
Why?
Because any change - even seasonal ones poke your mind. The Mind (aka Ajna) doesn't like being poked. It craves certainty.
It pressures you to have a plan, get organized and account for every moment of the future.
Life doesn’t work that way. It isn’t linear. You can only anticipate so much. Just like I had no idea a nine month adventure to learn French would turn into a nine year life in France.
And oh, what I would have missed if I had said, “Uh, no, that isn’t what I planned.”
At the same time, the last nine years have taken me down paths of conditioned behavior, joy, love, thrill rides, and let’s get real… in inevitable crash and readjustment when the ride came to a halt.
And I wouldn’t trade all the peek moments for all the valleys. Because the only thing we ever have control over is how we respond to what life presents.
If you want to make the best decisions with the least amount of “learning opportunities”... LOL… buckle up. Get to know yourself. Stop focusing on what others are doing or not doing. Focus on you and that still small voice that says, “This is the way.. Walk in it.”
Because this month will be a freefall into that thing we call faith…. Learn to trust… and enjoy the ride.

Gate 18 – Correction
─── ✦ ───
Center: Spleen
Channel Connection: 18–58, Channel of Judgment
Transit Energy Description
This gate awakens the inner critic — of yourself, others, systems, the world. If your Spleen is defined, this may feel like a righteous call to improve. If undefined, you may find yourself anxiously absorbing everyone else’s criticism or self-doubt. This energy can help you build lasting structures… or destroy relationships in the name of “helping.”

Questions for Contemplation
When you walk into a room, do you first see what’s beautiful — or what needs to be fixed?
Do you offer insight from love, or from a need to control discomfort?
Where are you still waiting for appreciation that never seems to come — because your ‘help’ is heard as judgment?

Gate 48 – Depth
─── ✦ ───
Center: Spleen
Channel Connection: 48–16, Channel of Talent
Transit Energy Description
Gate 48 holds the fear of not being enough — smart enough, trained enough, safe enough to be seen. It can paralyze you into over-preparing or delay your dreams indefinitely. But when harnessed, it carries a profound well of insight. If defined, this may show up as a pressure to master everything. If undefined, you may absorb everyone else’s fears of not being ready — and take them on as your own.
─── ✦ ───
Questions for Contemplation
Are you still waiting to be “ready enough” to do what you’ve already been called to do?
Who taught you that you weren’t enough — and why are you still listening?
What if your deepest well of wisdom is the very place you’ve tried to hide?
─── ✦ ───
