Song 1: “We Fell in Love in October” by Girl in Red

Lyrics: “Smoking cigarettes on the roof, you look so pretty and I love this view. We fell in love in October, that’s why I love fall. Looking at the stars, admiring from afar.”

Your Cards: 2 of Wands (reversed), Wheel of Fortune, Judgement

The 2 of Wands indicates that in the recent past, leading up to October’s New Moon, you were struggling with a particular decision. You’ve felt stuck and unable to move forward. Perhaps you didn’t have all the necessary information to make a choice, or maybe you knew the right thing to do and were reluctantly dragging your feet.

The Wheel of Fortune represents your situation around October 21, on the New Moon. Although you may have felt pressured to make a decision and move on, the Wheel of Fortune tarot card actually suggests that’s not in your best interest right now. Sometimes what’s needed is drastic, decisive action. But other times, you simply need to trust fate – what’s meant to be will happen. Moods and circumstances are constantly changing, and there’s an opportunity to grow and evolve with them. Your angels are saying that you’re not as lost or off-track as you may feel. You’re just in a phase of exploring and experiencing, and you don’t need to set your plans in stone just yet.

The Judgement card means that this whimsical phase of discovery won’t last forever. Your angels urge you to absorb the current moment and enjoy where you are now, because things will change in the future. They’re saying you’ll eventually have to step up and make an important decision that affects the course of your life. But that will come in due time, and you will know when it’s right. For now, your angels encourage you to embrace where you are, and know that the future holds more stability and certainty. 

Song 2: “October Song” by Amy Winehouse

Lyrics: “Today my bird flew away, gone to find her big blue jay. Starlight before she took flight, I sung a lullaby of bird land every night, sung for my Ava every night.”

Your Cards: 7 of Cups (reversed), The Hanged Man, 5 of Cups (reversed)

In the reversed position, the 7 of Cups means that in the past (leading up to October 21’s New Moon), things were very clear to you. You knew the path forward and how to make the best decisions that aligned with your long-term goals. You were very focused and thinking practically.

The Hanged Man represents your situation during the October 21 New Moon. Despite your past certainty, right now it feels like your life is on hold, like you’re stuck and stagnant. Sometimes it’s best to simply take action for the sake of progress – but this is not one of those times. Your angels encourage you to sit still and allow messages from the Universe to flow to you. Since The Hanged Man is a major arcana tarot card, this will likely be a profound and/or lengthy period of your life. Your angels are gently saying that you’re learning to sit in discomfort, as there is no clear path forward at the moment.

The 5 of Cups means that, in the near future following October’s New Moon, there will be some loss or disappointment that shifts your perspective. The change will bring you the clarity needed to heal and move forward. Your angels urge you to view this disappointment as a good thing – it will finally allow you to let go of the past so you’re free to move on. 

Song 3: “October Skies” by Mumford & Sons

Lyrics: “I’m blinded by the lights of October skies, these postcard memories evade my eyes. In the valley I’m free, but in the hills I soar, to your silhouette, is gone once more.”

Your Cards: The Empress (reversed), King of Cups (reversed), 9 of Cups (reversed)

In the reversed position, The Empress tarot card suggests that you have been suffering from a lack of attention, nurturing, connection, and care. Either you weren’t receiving the care and attention you needed, or you were neglecting a significant aspect of your life/someone close to you. It should be clear to you where this lack of nurturing manifested in your world – you know where you’ve been neglected, or where you’ve been ignoring parts of yourself or others. Since The Empress is a major arcana tarot card, this situation has had a significant impact on you leading up to October’s New Moon.

The King of Cups, reversed, reveals what’s happening at the time of October’s New Moon. You feel unable to express yourself, and blocked creatively. There is a lack of emotional control surrounding you – it’s either you or someone very close to you. This emotional volatility is due to the neglect you’ve suffered, even if it’s self-neglect (or neglecting a loved one). Your angels want you to become aware of this situation and pay close attention to your own emotional needs and those of the people around you.

The 9 of Cups, reversed, indicates that you will soon get sick of your suffering. Your needs will not have been met, and you’ll have been feeling dissatisfied for a while. Your angels are encouraging a shift in perspective – they want you to focus on finding joy from within instead of relying on external sources. You can’t always depend on another person to make you feel good. Your angels are gently encouraging you to take better care of yourself and get in touch with your deepest emotions, so that you can move on from the negativity and feelings of neglect that have plagued you.
