October vibrates with the new beginnings and creative energy of the number 1.
Are you ready to tap into this energy of possibilities and potential to reclaim and reignite your personal Mojo?
Are you ready to proudly own your individuality?
What seeds would you like to plant for your future?
The month of October also provides a preview of the themes you may encounter throughout 2026, which is a Universal 1 Year, and the start of a new 9-year cycle.
You can play with the energy this month to explore how you might like to engage with the 1-vibration throughout 2026.
October is ripe with possibilities, ideas, creativity, invention, innovation, individuality, and independence.
In many ways, it is similar to being immersed in the energy of a new moon all month long. Other themes present in the 1-vibration are leadership, organization, opening, and initiation.
The 1-vibration in numerology is self-focused and inspires self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-sufficiency.
If you always put everyone and everything before your own needs, October may poke you to shift your focus to filling your well first and exploring why you think you should be at the bottom of the list (if you are even on your list at all!).
Showing Up for You
Since the 1-vibration is a self-focused energy, as part of this month’s numerology forecast, I was guided to mention a common theme that my clients have mentioned: not showing up for themselves and feeling selfish or guilty if they do.
“Self-First is NOT Selfish, my friends.”
~ Suzanne Culberg
The need to put others (or everything else) first is deeply conditioned into many people. Women, especially, but not exclusively.
Perhaps you can relate.
One way this behavior shows up is through people-pleasing and “being nice” at all costs, in the hope that people will like you (or at least won’t reject, judge, or hurt you in some way).
If you see yourself in this, I invite you to stop the people-pleasing and turn inward to address your own needs first. Of course, if you have young children, they require priority… but not at the cost of your own well-being. Strive for a balance.
“It is not your role to make others happy; it is your role to keep yourself in balance.
When you pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who-you-really-are,
you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the benefit of observing you.”
~ Abraham-Hicks
If showing up for yourself, having your own back, and people pleasing are behaviors you struggle with, October’s energy, and all of 2026, will be nudging you to Be You and Choose You.
Unashamedly so!
No guilt.
No judgment.
October Energy Forecast – The 1-Vibration
The 1-vibration is a great time to start, create, or explore something new…
or to reignite the flames of something “old” that you’d really like to do, be or have because it helps you reconnect to your unique gifts and true self.
That is especially true in a Universal 9-year, reconnecting to something from your past that resonates with you now (and maybe always has, but you placed on terminal hold for whatever reasons seemed to justify doing so).
Perhaps you once wanted to write a book, or sing, or paint, or create something. This month is an open invitation to begin!
"Act boldly and unseen forces will come to your aid."
~ Dorothea Brande
Since October is a 1-vibration month in a 9-vibration year, it may bring up some of the following for you to explore, reflect on, and make some adjustments to:
- What do you wish to create but don’t make time for?
- Why?
- What can you begin changing now about this?
- Who are you/Who are you being?
- What parts of you have you been ignoring?
- Why do you feel you do this?
- What masks are you using to hide behind?
- Why?
- What do you fear will happen if you drop the mask?
- Do you feel blocked creatively?
- What is getting in the way?
- What do you think or tell yourself is getting in the way?
- If you are totally honest with yourself, what is really stopping you?
- What do you want in life?
- What do you want your work, job, or career to be like?
- Where and when (and with whom) do you suppress your true self and identity?
- Do you feel independent and “in charge of you?”
- Can you freely and fully express yourself?
- Where and when do you consistently choose others over you?
- What does self-focused bring up for you?
- Are these thoughts and feelings true or simply beliefs, conclusions, and judgments you’ve picked up throughout your life?
- What does selfish bring up for you?
- Are these thoughts and feelings true or simply beliefs, conclusions, and judgments you’ve picked up throughout your life?
- What does showing up for yourself look like or mean to you?
- What does having your own back mean to you?
- What can you do, change, or let go of to be more unabashedly you?
- Do you need permission to be your wild and wonderful, unique self?
- If so, can you give yourself permission to do so?
- To be more organized, what do you need to change or let go of?
- What calls to you from the past that you’d like to explore doing again?
As you read through this list, pick one or two things that “ping” for you.
Maybe journal about them and see what you discover.
Be open to the possibilities that are around you.
It may require you to see things in a new way… or let go of judgments, preconceptions, and expectations to receive more of what you’d like.
You have permission to change your mind…
Just because you wanted it, liked it, or dreamed about it at one time doesn’t mean you are still in alignment with it or that you even really want to have, be, or do this anymore.
It is time to let go of who you thought you were and who you thought you should be… and choose to become who you really are.
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
~ C.S. Lewis
While October is a 1-vibration month, it is also the 10th month of the year.
In numerology (at least the way I learned it), we look at all the relevant numbers. They are there for a reason. So, October is a 1 with a 10 influence in the background. The number 10 in the Tarot’s Major Arcana is The Wheel of Fortune. Its meaning in numerology is similar. It combines the creation potency of the number 1 plus the element of Spirit in the zero (0). This means you create what you focus your thoughts and energy on. Be sure to focus on what you want, rather than what you don’t want.
The light side of 1-vibration represents the healthy ego.
The shadow side of the 1-vibration represents the wounded aspects of the ego.
Some ways the Shadow Side of 1 shows up:
Overthinking and overcomplicating things
- This often stems from self-doubt, lack of confidence, and fear of doing something you haven’t done before
- The need to be right (or not be wrong!) plays a part here as well
Acting impulsively and making hasty decisions
- Many wounded spaces contribute here. Some are FOMO, need to soothe or compensate yourself in some way (such as impulse shopping or binging), or entitlement, anger
Controlling thoughts and behaviors, pushing to make things happen, wanting (or needing) things and people to be a certain way
- This is often a sign of the disempowered wounded ego, insecurity, and fear (usually around being safe and feeling safe).
- In some cases, it can stem from an over-inflated ego
Other classic Shadow 1-vibration characteristics are:
- Arrogance
- Impatience
- Being bossy
- Narcissism
- Feeling put upon
- Digging your heels in and refusing to bend or compromise
Cosmic Events
There is a powerful supermoon on October 6, in the sign of Aries.
This moon may help you connect with your more authentic self. It may also enhance your intuitive insights. Full moons are a time of completion and letting go, much like all of 2025. The moon in Aries inspires action and can be impulsive.
Please check in with your gut and intuition before you leap into action.
When Aries combines with the 1-vibration of October, it may spark ego issues and acting out from a wounded ego space. This can manifest as feelings of powerlessness or superiority (and all the variations of these aspects), which represent both sides of the wounded ego.
You may notice some inner conflict regarding shedding the outdated image of yourself and stepping into a more vulnerable, truer version of who you are, dropping the masks that take so much energy to maintain. The 9-vibration of 2025 encourages introspection and assessing these parts of you that no longer fit who you are becoming.
On October 21, Mercury moves into its pre-retrograde shadow.
This will be in effect until November 9, when Mercury is entirely retrograde. Be aware that communication requires extra care, schedules may change unexpectedly, and technology may be glitchy. Back up your computers and tech before Mercury retrograde begins on November 9!
Things are a bit crazy right now on this beautiful planet. Perhaps you’d like some guidance and support with life or career issues. Maybe you’re feeling a little lost, confused, and overwhelmed. And maybe you’d like to know what 2026 (and the rest of 2025) has in store. A private session — whether you choose an intuitive, numerology, or past life consultation — might provide the clarity, insight, answers, and direction you’re seeking. I invite you to explore the ways I can support you.
Enjoy the fresh air infusion of October, the crispness of Autumn, and have a spooktacular Halloween!
With love and appreciation for you,
