October’s altar: deep clear waters, and the dreams that turn lucid in them. Venus walks backward through Scorpio from the 3rd; the new moon rises in Libra on the 10th; Pluto turns direct on the 15th; the full moon crowns Taurus on the 26th. The month descends, and the season asks to be felt rather than figured out. Nag champa in the studio. Cardamom and chai in the cup. Fig jam on everything.
