ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Release the fog. Claim your throne. Answer the call. This week’s collective tarot reading brought the Ace of Swords, The Emperor, and Judgement, and together they’re asking you to stop second-guessing what you already know and step into your own authority.
In this Frequency Friday, I share the energy for the weekend of October 16–18 and the week ahead through October 22. We talk about the waxing moon in Capricorn and Sunday’s First Quarter Moon, a supportive Mars–Saturn trine, and Pluto stationing direct in Aquarius, which brings the inner transformation you’ve been doing since May out into your life. For the week ahead, the moon moves through Aquarius and then Pisces, building toward the Full Moon in Taurus. Every part of the forecast includes how to work with the energy in your personal life and your business.
Building on Tuesday’s Tarot for Beginners episode, we try that episode’s intuition practice together with this week’s three cards before I share their meanings. You’ll hear why the Ace of Swords is about releasing overthinking, how The Emperor invites you to lead your life with steady, loving structure, and why Judgement is a card of rebirth, not something to fear.
Archangel Michael comes through for the weekend with a message about trusting what you see and cutting away what clouds your clarity. Archangel Gabriel, the messenger connected to the trumpet on the Judgement card, guides the week ahead and helps you share your voice.
In the retrograde report, we cover Venus retrograde in Scorpio and what it means for love, self-worth, pricing, and past clients. We also touch on Saturn and Neptune retrograde in Aries, Uranus retrograde in Gemini, and Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow, with simple tips to get organized before Mercury stations retrograde on October 24.
Your energetic focus this week is sovereignty, with a two-minute morning practice and this mantra: “I see clearly, I lead my life with love, and I answer my calling.”
This week’s journal prompts:
- What do I already know deep down that I’ve been pretending I’m still figuring out?
- Where in my life am I ready to sit on my own throne?
- What is calling me right now, and what would it look like to say yes?
