Embrace Fierce Femininity in Chaotic Times
Hurricane Helene was only the beginning.
You don’t need a tarot reader or an astrologer to tell you that October is not going to be easy, I’m sure. Regardless, the astrology for October 2024 supports that it will be an intense month, to say the least.
We’re entering a month filled with chaos and uncertainty — storms, upheavals, strikes, global violence, and unexpected events that will be completely out of our control.
We must prepare ourselves for anything and everything. Whether it’s preparing for natural disasters or navigating shake-ups in governments and world leadership, October will be a month where resilience is key.
Amidst all this turmoil, there’s a silver lining: the best of humanity will emerge. In times of crisis, people come together to support one another, to protect and lift each other up. This is a month to find strength not only within yourself but within your community.
The fierce femininity we need to channel isn’t the gentle, soft kind — it’s the kind of power that can lift a car off a child, that can fight for what matters and protect what’s precious.
With these influences in mind, I’ve created a 10-card tarot spread to help prepare you for the chaos ahead.
This spread is about survival, strength, and resilience. The chaos of October 2024 asks us to dig deep and find our fiercest selves. But it also reminds us that we are not alone — there will be moments of unity, clarity, and kindness that will get us through. Use this spread to tap into your inner power, prepare yourself for external challenges, and find strength in the collective.
The October 2024 tarot spread takes the shape of a tower, chosen deliberately to reflect the instability and shake-ups we’ll face this month. Towers are often seen as symbols of strong foundations, but when external forces become too great, even the sturdiest structures can fall.
This month, expect world events to challenge already shaky foundations, both globally and personally. The tower shape represents not only the potential for collapse but also the need to rebuild with resilience, finding strength in the face of overwhelming forces beyond our control.
