The month of October brings Ox natives the I Ching hexagram of mountain over lake (41).
This month, simple is best. Take any situation you’re dealing with and boil it down to the basics of what needs to be done and what you can let go of. If you’re making stock, you don’t keep the bones and the onion skins after the stock is made. They go in the compost bin. No matter what you’re dealing with, assess what you can keep and what needs to be discarded.
There is a solar eclipse on October 2. Eclipses can bring important matters to a head. Ox, you might have challenges with a fellow employee or someone who works for you. Negotiation is needed to continue working with this person. It’s likely they aren’t the easiest to get along with. You might be tempted to walk away, but if you want a resolution, start the discussion by looking for common ground.
There is a full moon on October 17. Ox, you might be focused on self-care now, prioritizing sleep and doing some necessary healing. This means you could withdraw from others for a little while, but the benefits are numerous. You might also be consulting practitioners to find a new way to care for yourself.
