041: October Is Bringing the Fire to the Horse

There’s a lot of anger moving through the collective right now. Anger. Frustration. Irritation. Rage. That feeling of being done waiting, tolerating, watching, or having the same conversation over and over again. But what if that fire isn’t something you need to get rid of? In this episode, I’m exploring the emotional fire of October, why anger can be an incredibly mobilizing energy, and how to work with what you’re feeling without letting it take the wheel. We’ll look at the energetic echo between the beginning and end of the year, why January brought us the horse and October is bringing the fire, and what becomes possible when you stop using your energy to fight against what you don’t want and start putting it behind what you’re for. We’ll also explore the difference between anger and rage, what each may be trying to tell you, and why not everyone needs more friction right now. The fire is here. The question is: Where are you going to point the horse? **✨ Takeaways** - Anger, frustration, irritation, and rage aren’t necessarily signs that something has gone wrong. Sometimes they’re the energy that finally gets something moving. - January brought us the horse. October is bringing the fire to the horse. - October, November, and December energetically echo January, February, and March, giving us an opportunity to revisit familiar themes from a new vantage point. - Your frustration may be showing you where you’ve been tolerating something that isn’t working. Your anger may be showing you where you’ve been passive or waiting for someone else to make a decision that belongs to you. - Not everyone needs more fire. If your fire is already burning, stop striking the flint. You don’t need more friction. You need direction. - Stand for something instead of only fighting against something. When all of your energy is focused on what you’re against, that thing is still determining the direction you’re pointing. - Ask yourself: What if I took the energy I’m using to fight what I’m against and put it behind what I’m for? - Anger and rage can offer different information. Anger identifies that something needs to change. Rage can mobilize you to do something about it. - Underneath anger is often something you care deeply about. Ask yourself: What does my anger reveal that I care about, and what am I willing to do for that thing? - Fire isn’t inherently good or bad. It can destroy, but it can also create warmth, light, transformation, and possibility. What matters is what you do with it. - We are not repeating the beginning of the year. We are revisiting it with more information, experience, and choice. If October is telling you to go, this time know what you’re moving toward. **✨ Resources** **Ready to navigate the rest of 2026 with more clarity and confidence?** Get the Q4 Energy Forecast Replay and explore the energy of the final quarter of the year, including the guided visualization referenced in this episode.
