Fuel, Focus & Fierce New Foundations

5 - 11 OCTOBER 2025

The Shift from Surviving to Thriving

This week, the energy changes shape. The chaos and intensity of the past season begin to fade into the background, replaced by something clearer, cleaner, and more purposeful. There’s a sense of forward motion now, a current beneath your feet carrying you toward what’s next. Life is no longer about reacting to what’s happened; it’s about choosing what happens next.

You may feel this shift as a quiet confidence rising inside you, a readiness to rebuild, to act, to shape your world with intention. The fog has lifted. The lessons have landed. And now it’s time to integrate them into action. This isn’t about rushing or proving; it’s about moving with clarity and conviction.

This week is a potent mix of empowerment, truth, and ignition. The cosmos offers fuel for action, strength for boundaries, and depth for emotional and spiritual growth. It’s the kind of energy that asks you to show up fully, for your goals, your healing, your relationships, and most importantly, for yourself.

This is the week you remember who you are. The version of you that hesitated, doubted, or dimmed their light is dissolving. In its place stands someone braver, someone willing to take risks, speak truth, and claim what’s meant for them.

WATCH FULL COSMIC FORECAST

Life is not asking you to wait for permission. It’s asking you to choose it. To step forward, even if the path isn’t fully visible. To trust the fire in your belly as a compass. To believe that you are more capable than you have ever allowed yourself to believe.

Key Cosmic Currents

October 6 – Mercury enters Scorpio

The way we communicate, think, and process deepens. Conversations won’t stay on the surface; they'll dig into motives, hidden truths, and real feelings. Instincts sharpen, insights strike like lightning, and the urge to “get to the heart of the matter” intensifies. This is a powerful time to speak truthfully, have courageous conversations, and trust your gut.

October 7 – Super Full Moon in Aries

Bold. Brave. Blazing. This fiery lunation lights a fire under our goals and stirs the courage to leap. Aries energy is unapologetically direct; it wants movement, progress, passion. This Full Moon illuminates where you’re ready to step into leadership, take initiative, and stop waiting for permission.

The flip side: emotions can run hot. Tempers flare more easily, boundaries feel more necessary, and suppressed feelings demand to be expressed. If you feel restless, frustrated, or irritable, channel that energy into action rather than reaction.

Pluto stations direct (all week influence)

The planet of transformation and power wakes up, pushing stagnant energy forward. What once felt stuck begins to move. Power struggles surface so they can be resolved. Deep inner work begins to show outward results. This is the green light to step fully into your personal authority.

How It May Feel

There’s a powerful mix of energy this week: fiery and impulsive on the surface, deep and transformative underneath. You may feel highly motivated one moment and deeply introspective the next, a dance between external drive and internal depth.

Your emotions might run stronger, but they’ll also be more illuminating. If anger arises, ask what boundary it’s revealing. If desire flares, ask what dream it’s pointing to. If truth bubbles up, let it guide you, even if it means disrupting the status quo.

This is the week where clarity turns into courage. Where what you know becomes what you do.

How to Work With This Energy

• Take action. This is not the week to overthink. Start the project. Have the conversation. Say yes (or no). Momentum breeds clarity.

• Set and hold boundaries. Fiery energy brings passion — but also pushback. Protect your peace and stand firm in your standards.

• Channel the fire. Physical activity, creative projects, or strategic moves are great outlets. Don’t let frustration simmer — use it as fuel.

• Go deeper. Mercury in Scorpio favours therapy, journaling, shadow work, or emotional clearing. Transformation happens when we face what we’d rather avoid.

Journal Prompts

• Where am I ready to stop waiting and start acting?

• What boundaries feel non-negotiable for me right now?

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I am the author of my life. I trust my fire, honour my truth, and act with bold, grounded courage."

This week marks a definitive turning point. It’s the moment we stop tending to what’s behind us and start building what’s ahead. It’s not about quick fixes or overnight transformations;  it’s about showing up differently now that you know better.

The fiery Aries Moon won’t let you hide behind fear or delay. It will push you to act, speak, decide, and create. And Pluto’s forward motion ensures that when you do, those choices have the power to reshape your life in profound, lasting ways.

This is the week to step into leadership,  not necessarily over others, but over yourself. Lead your choices. Lead your energy. Lead your life. The momentum you create now will carry into the rest of the month, shaping the opportunities and breakthroughs that follow.

Remember: power is not about control,  it’s about choice. And you have more of it than you think.

I love you,

Sarah
