Heart of the Heavens: A Manifestor’s Guide to Celestial Magic

As the final months of 2025 go by, the sky takes us through a sequence of courage, balance, reflection, and vision. Each lunation is a call for intention to become action, challenging us to not merely exist but to generate life. Through process with the cyclical rhythm of New Moons and Full Moons, you enter a flow where spirituality intersects hard work.
October begins with the Full Moon in Aries on October 7, also referred to as the Hunter’s Moon. This fiery lunation demands courage, autonomy, and honesty. It demands that you find the warrior within. One of the easiest rituals is mirror work. Sit before your mirror and state your truth out loud with love. You may feel energy rising in your voice, energy that has always been there but required the light of the Full Moon to truly be known.
The New Moon in Libra falls on October 21, and it is a call to restore balance. New Moons are for new starts, but recall, the Moon is dark and has no light in its exact moment of birth. Attempting to bring into being during this darkness is like attempting to push into thin air. Wait two days until the crescent is beginning to grow before creating your intentions. This honours the natural rhythm of the lunar cycle. When the Moon first is visible, hold rose quartz and lapis lazuli together, speak a word of harmony, and leave your words between the stones. Carry them with you as a gentle shield of balance and alignment.
In November, Mercury retrograde takes centre stage. From November 9-29 Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius, will be slowing communication and progress. Retrogrades are not times of disaster but of reflection. This is a chance to turn back to familiar ideas, rework incomplete projects, and look at the underpinnings of your creative or digital work. Reach out to a wise mentor in this window of time, allowing insight to flow in ways that can move you forward when Mercury next turns direct.
The November 20 New Moon in Scorpio calls for transformation at the root level. Scorpio energy calls us to face what we are willing to release. Write a letter to an old fear or limiting belief, letting your truth pour onto paper. When you’re ready, bury the letter in the earth to return it to the earth or release it in fire to let it rise as smoke. This ritual purifies space so fertile ground may be made for rebirth.
December starts with the Full Moon in Gemini on December 5. This air lunation shines light on communication, expression, and authenticity. The request is to speak your truth; put pen to paper and write out a story you have been holding within or share even a piece of your message with a trusted individual. With this moon, even the smallest action of expression can flow outward, stirring confidence and connection.
The final lunation of the year, the Sagittarian New Moon of December 20, closes out the cycle with visionary energy. Time to vision and speak boldly. But once more, as with all New Moons, wait to manifest until the crescent appears. Once the light begins returning, write out five bold intentions by candlelight, placing a chip of Citrine on each page so they are filled with hope and purpose. Make your vision board, accessible to yourself at all times as a reminder of the future you are stepping into.
The rhythm of the Moon is simple but strong. With each New Moon, choose one aligned action, small and exact, and schedule it into your week. With each Full Moon, take time to celebrate what you’ve done, light a candle, speak out your gratitude, or treat yourself. It is the cycle of intention, action, and celebration that bridges the spiritual and practical. It is the essence of The Manifestation Flowchart Course, which I created to help spiritual seekers align with their highest potential and bring their visions into form.
As the year comes to a close, step outside, spread your arms wide, and shout out three triumphs of your year. Bask in the sun’s warmth upon your skin and let gratitude overflow your heart. Trust your internal compass, continue to move with purpose, and remember you are not just living your story, you are writing it with every decision you make.
In the future, 2026 is a numerological ‘1 year’, a year of fresh starts and fresh paths. The question is what do you build in this new cycle of possibility? An inquiry to hold onto is this — if fear and doubt were not permitted in my life, what courageous start would I take for 2026?
