“To live deeply in the ordinary — that is the truest form of magic.”
🌗 Personal Reflection: Foundations of the Real
This week feels like the final breath of a long cycle — the closing note of a year-long transformation that has rebuilt me from the ground up.
Over the past twelve months, I’ve learned what it means to live with humanistic presence — to meet life not in theory but in its simple, tangible moments: morning light through the window, laughter across the room, the quiet satisfaction of completing a task with care.
It’s been a year of stripping away illusion, softening control, and returning to what is real and right in front of me.
This week’s astrology reflects that same grounding. The skies remind us that transformation isn’t just about change — it’s about integration. The ability to stand in truth and still choose tenderness.

🌘 Reflecting on the Eclipse Arc
Even though the eclipses this year peaked in September, their energetic story began in October 2024, when last year’s Libra–Aries eclipses cracked open new pathways in relationships, selfhood, and balance.
This week invites you to look back:
What was happening for you last October?
What seeds did you plant — in relationships, work, or inner growth — that are finally showing their harvest now?
Eclipses weave in long threads, and this week acts as a mirror and culmination of that arc.
🌾 Samhain Season: Preparing the Harvest
We are approaching Samhain (Halloween) — the Celtic New Year, when the veil thins and nature begins its inward turn.
Samhain marks the final harvest before winter’s rest. It’s both an ending and a beginning — a sacred pause between worlds.
This is the perfect time to honor transformation: to release what no longer sustains you, to bless what remains, and to trust the dark soil of becoming.
To help you mark this turning point, I’ve created a Samhain Ritual Kit, available now in my Etsy shop, The Floral Goose.
The ritual centers around “Transformation and the Sacred Harvest,” guiding you through reflection, release, and renewal — a way to align your inner cycle with the Earth’s rhythm.

The Libra New Moon hits your partnership sector. Speak truth in love, even if it trembles. Clarity replaces control.

🌕 Collective Reflection Prompt
“What was happening for me last October, and how have I transformed since then?”
Write it down.
Honor the progress, the endings, and the growth that came through being fully human this year.
✨ Closing Note
This week, the cosmos invites us to harvest the truth — to take stock of what’s real and enduring.
Transformation doesn’t end when the season changes; it simply moves underground, preparing to bloom again.
So as you step into Samhain season, let the darkness comfort you.
You’ve done the work. You’ve rebuilt the foundation.
Now it’s time to rest, release, and trust the seeds you’ve sown.
In Kindness,
The Floral Goose
