The air feels different when the veil begins to thin—and that shift is your invitation to reset. We step into the Libra new moon with clear, grounded guidance for release, protection, and fresh beginnings, then cross the threshold into Scorpio season to do the deeper work of identity, shadow, and ancestor connection. If you’ve been craving a clean slate for your relationships, your money, and your daily habits, this conversation offers tools you can use tonight.

We start with the dark moon: banishing, cleansing, and protecting your space so your nervous system can exhale. From there, we harness a Venus-happy Libra new moon to rebalance love, self-trust, and finances through small, elegant changes. You’ll hear how to set intentions that stick, why ritual speaks the body’s language, and how to use simple practices—lighting a candle with purpose, reviewing your budget with calm, refreshing your altar—to anchor a new identity in the real world.

As the Sun moves into Scorpio, we lean into ancestor work, introspection, and the death-and-rebirth cycle that powers true change. You’ll get a burn-to-release script, a write-to-claim framework, and a sensory anchor using Neroli oil to embody your next chapter. We also unpack Mercury’s shadow and why language is spellwork: worry acts like a negative prayer, while honest, precise words align your mind, heart, and actions. By the end, you’ll have a clear path to speak, act, and think like the version of you who already lives the life you want.

If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so more seekers can find the show. Ready to step through the doorway? Your new chapter is waiting.

Magical Michelle Orwick (00:19):
Welcome to Living Magically.
I'm your host, MagicalMichelle, and here we are back
in spooky season, as you know itis my favorite time of year.
I realize everything is sort ofmy favorite time of year, but

(00:40):
there is nothing like Halloweenseason for my little heart to be
so overflowed with joy.
So let's talk about theastrology and what's happening
this week and the energy.
So today, um, happy uh dualifor those who celebrate.

(01:02):
It's the festival of lights,it's a new year in the Hindu
tradition.
And so for those of youcelebrating, happy, happy new
year.
And I see this also as a greattime to celebrate.

(01:23):
We have a new moon comingtomorrow, and I apologize, I
have lost my voice.
So it's one of those things.
I just got back from Egypt,then I did a wedding.
Of course, I'm gonna be jetlagged and have my voice leave.
I also might have got hit inthe head, but I'm all better

(01:45):
now.
So, anyway, with all of thatbeing said, what is your
initiation that you're goingthrough?
And that's really what'shappening as an overarching
theme.
That we are letting go of ourold identity with this new moon.
And if you are watching thisearly enough, you're watching

(02:08):
this video on Monday, you havethe dark moon.
So I always let go of things atthe dark moon.
This is a good day for ritualrelease, for saging your house,
for burning things, banishment.
And because the time of year,this is a particularly good time

(02:30):
now into November to doprotection work and banishing
work.
So I always like a good darkmoon for that.
It is the last few days ofLibra.
So we're talking about balance,the light and the dark, the day
and the night.
We have moved into the darkseason where every day grows a

(02:56):
little bit darker in the sky,and the night overcomes the day.
This is time to go inward.
This is where the veil startsto thin.
And at least here in Orlando, Ican feel it in the temperature,
I can feel it in the energy.
And even the last days I was inEgypt, I could feel the veil

(03:20):
shift and the ancestors starttalking.
And the spirit world wake upand start working with us.
And so, again, this is a greattime to start that contact.
It's an incredible time toredress your altars, simply deep

(03:42):
clean your house, yourspiritual tools.
And if you are one who doesthings like wording on your
doors or your property, it's agood time to charge those
crystals.
Redo your protections.
We move this week into Scorpiofrom Libra, but before that, we

(04:09):
have new moon in Libra.
So Tuesday is a new moon.
It's incredible forrelationship work.
We have Venus very happy rightnow in its home sign.
So this is a good time to lookat your relationships with

(04:31):
yourself, with others, with yourbody, and especially your
relationship with business,money, and finance.
So if you're like looking atyour money, this is an
incredible time to do it.
And as we move into theweekend, on the 23rd, we will

(04:54):
the sun will move into Scorpio.
So with this new moon, we'retalking fresh start, new
beginnings, big habits, startingto do things in a way that
feels better for you, feelsbetter for your body.
As Scorpio comes in, the veilgets even thinner.

(05:17):
It's time to start doing thatinner work, the work with the
ancestors, the work with youridentity, the work with death
and rebirth.
And so, of course, that's goingto be for the next 28 days or
so as we move through the Soinseason.

(05:40):
Sowin being the Celtic name forHalloween.
We have multiple ways Halloweenis celebrated.
Of course, there's Halloweenthe 31st, there's Day of the
Dead, which is the first, andthat's more of a Mexican um
celebration.
But for those of us whocelebrate Sao, and there's

(06:04):
really a few different places,you can start celebrating it now
with the veil thinning.
And so I will start those thisweekend.
I will start my ancestor work,I will start my inner dialogue,
I will start looking at the newyear.
And if you are local to Orlandoand wish to join me, we'll be

(06:28):
at Center Street for abeautiful, amazing women's
retreat, women and man'sretreat.
I shouldn't call it a woman'sretreat.
It's really more of a sowingretreat.
And we have one of my favoritepeople in the whole world
coming, Beth, is going to bedoing deep breath work.

(06:50):
We're gonna have sound healing,um, ritual, and introspection,
as well as that piece where weunfold into the new identity,
into that new beginning.
So if that's something you'reinterested in, there are a few
slots left for the beautifulsowen retreat on Saturday.

(07:13):
So please feel free to join us.
We'll put that link down in thecomment section.
In the meantime, if you arewanting to do this work for
yourself, take a piece of paperand write down what are you

(07:33):
letting go of?
Who are you no longer willingto be?
What are the habits that youneed to let go of, or identity
you need to let go of for thisnew year, and burn it?
And then as you rise, what isthe identity you're claiming?

(07:56):
And how are you going to createnew habits, new identity, and
how are you going to step fullyinto that and ignite that, light
a candle, anoint yourself.
My favorite oil that I'mworking with right now is Neroli

(08:16):
oil.
And you can place that on yourheart, your wrists, your third
eye, and open up to thisidentity as it unravels.
Who am I?
Who am I becoming?
Who am I no longer?
And what are the habits I needto connect to to be this new

(08:38):
version of me?
And with that, I know that youwill feel more alive, more
excited.
And this season goes all theway until the 15th degree of
November.
And during that time, we'regoing to be in Mercury Shadow.

(08:59):
And so we're going to startseeing starting the 21st,
Mercury getting ready to goretrograde.
And it is shadow season anyway.
So it's all about reviewingyourself, reviewing your
communications.
How do you communicate?
Are you saying words that arenot in alignment with who you

(09:25):
want to be?
Are you complaining?
Are you speaking into being anegative spell by saying this
isn't going to happen for me?
Are you are you saying what youdon't want instead of what you
do want?
Worry is a negative prayer.
And so all the words andthoughts and actions you put

(09:48):
into being create yourfrequency.
So from the 21st of Octoberuntil the middle of November,
before Mercury goes retrograde,it's an incredible time to
review the way you speak toyourself, your body, your
friends, your family, and to theworld.

(10:08):
This is the perfect practice tobecome the new you by speaking,
acting, thinking, and doing asif the version of you that
already is, the one that haswhat you want, the one that acts
like what you want, whereyou're affirming what you want

(10:29):
instead of constantlycomplaining about what you don't
want.
This period of time could be agame changer for you.
And so if you are in the pointwhere you're ready to do some
work around that and you'reinterested, please um please
send me a message and we'll setup a session because I do

(10:52):
believe that this is one ofthose key works, um, key pieces
of time to do shadow work andchange work.
And this is the time you areready.
I really believe that.
So connect to your mind, yourheart, and most importantly,

(11:14):
your voice, which mine isrecalibrating.
We went through Egypt, and oneof the things that we really did
was connect to that throatchakra.
And so I came back and I knowthat my voice is going to become
even stronger, even more clear,and the things that I say and

(11:35):
speak into being will be bigger,more aligned.
And so too shall it be for you.
So, how are you aligning withyour new voice, your new mind's
eye, your new version of you?
And with that, happy new year,happy new moon, and happy sun

(11:57):
moving into Scorpio.
And hopefully, I will see youthis weekend at our Sourn
retreat at Center Street.
And with that, I love you.
Live magically.
