Today’s I Ching Hexagram for October 15th is 31: Mutual Attraction
31: Mutual Attraction

General Meaning: The attraction of yin and yang is the powerful and fundamental force. The image of this hexagram is that of the attraction between a man and a woman in the courtship stage. In response to the magnetic attraction between them, the masculine principle (the creative, outgoing) seizes the initiative and submits to the feminine (the receptive, sensitive). When the assertive is able to defer to the receptive, and when the receptive accepts responsibility and exercises quiet leadership, an exciting and profitable union is the result. This brings good fortune, for all success depends upon the magnetic effect of mutual attraction.
Consistency is important in matters of mutual attraction, for this is what separates courtship from seduction.
If you are by nature an instigator, it is good to take the initiative. But you need to remain sensitive, and highly principled, and avoid the temptation to be manipulative. Let the power of mutual attraction pull you along. If you are the receptive one, keep your mind innocent and free of pride, so that you may remain open to good advice or helpful assistance. When your influence arises from innocence, an even more powerful magnetic force is at work for you.
Remaining open to the forces of attraction brings good fortune. Closing yourself to them heralds the dying of the soul. Learn to yield to the natural tugs and pulls of the heart.
Today’s Rune for Saturday, October 15th is Othila
Othila/Separation
| As the tower in the tarot, this rune symbolizes the need to leave behind old things to make space for the new. It is the time of a separation, which is either separation from a person or from old habits. Retreat from the outside world and get ready for the things awaiting you. Even if it seems to be difficult at first, the things ahead of you will bring you freedom. |
Today’s Tarot Card for October 15th is The Chariot
The Chariot

This Tarot Deck: Gendron
Huge wheels and frisky steeds speed the rate at which the driver’s willpower can be realized. This kind of charge makes more of the world accessible to anyone ambitious enough to seize the Chariot’s reins. But there is danger in this feeling of freedom, because of the increased rate of change and its power to magnify mistakes in judgment. As a seasoned warrior, the Charioteer is called upon to be extra attentive to the way ahead.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, October 15th

Although your day starts off quietly enough, the pace picks up unexpectedly and you can’t help but enjoy the buzz. You might have lacked motivation before, but now ideas race through your mind, making it difficult to decide which ones are actually worth pursuing. It’s great when you feel this enthusiastic, but it may be smarter to slow down and finish one project before you rush off to the next one.

You can be so stubborn sometimes that you drive your friends and associates crazy. However, today you may be sharing good ideas faster than others can assimilate them. The Moon’s shift into clever Gemini isn’t the whole story because your key planet Venus is being zapped by brilliant Uranus. Freely express whatever comes into your mind, but also do your best to follow through with your commitments.

The Moon’s return to your lighthearted sign can lift your spirits today, but she also can bring a feeling of restlessness. Your moods change rapidly now, soaring and sinking, and soaring again. Others may not be able to get a clear read on you, for each time they think they know what you’re thinking, your attitude shifts. Don’t worry about anyone else’s expectations; just observe your emotions and let them continue to run their natural course.

It’s difficult for you to keep secrets today, even if you’re usually good at maintaining boundaries. It isn’t that you’re eager to stir up uncomfortable feelings in others or betray anyone’s trust; it’s just that you find it hard to hold back now if you feel close to someone. However, an improper disclosure won’t improve a relationship and could, in the long run, jeopardize what you already established with a trusted friend. Stay conscious of every word you say so that you don’t accidentally break your promise of silence.

You may be feeling emotionally open today, but you still might think you need to be careful and protect yourself if your defenses begin to fall. Others will likely see the shift in your behavior if you are genuine and they, in turn, will be more attentive to you. Don’t retreat; give yourself permission to bask in the admiration, even if it makes you feel vulnerable. It’s healing for you to let your love light shine.

You may be the one that others come to in order to get results because you are normally very focused. However, today you could be more scattered, making it harder to live up to everyone’s demands. Don’t worry if you can’t do everything. Just concentrate on attacking the most important chores, leaving the other tasks to complete when you have the time.

Although you want everything to be in perfect balance, you may need to assert yourself more aggressively than you prefer today. Your discomfort increases when you think about what you must do, but fortunately you should be able to rise to the task. The clever Gemini Moon in your 9th House of Future Vision enables you to talk your way through your own resistance. You might even surprise yourself with how easily you handle a difficult situation.

You feel as if things are going well today as long as you stay in motion. Maintaining a high level of activity is a key to your current success; however, conflicting thoughts distract you from being in the moment as soon as you start to slow down. Unfortunately, your busyness actually prevents you from hearing your own thoughts. Although it might hinder your productivity for a while, stopping long enough to reconnect with your subconscious will be healthier in the long run.

You might believe that your friends are moving much faster than you are today, yet you’re not interested in trying to catch up with them now. Unfortunately, you can’t just take yourself out of the game and let everyone play without you. The best solution to your current dilemma stems from just sharing your truth. Tell everyone why you want to go a little slower today and then listen to what they say. An honest give-and-take dialogue should carry you to common ground where you all can get along with respect.

Your workmates seem to be missing the point today and you see no easy way to make them understand the truth. Unfortunately, you cannot go out of your way to set others straight because they’ll just think that you’re being pushy. But if you don’t say anything at all, they might not even realize that there’s more to your story. Instead of attempting to change anyone’s mind, just gently share your perspective and then let everyone else form his or her own opinion.

You may feel more playful now, yet your commitments won’t allow you to drop everything to follow your whimsical desires. But don’t complain about your current obligations, for that’s just a waste of your time and energy. Instead, resign yourself to meeting your current responsibilities as best you can. You will still have the chance to do something that makes you smile later on.

A family dilemma may require your immediate attention now that the Moon is visiting your 4th House of Domestic Matters. You can see both sides of a complex issue, bringing uncertainty about which solution is the best one. Your smartest strategy would be to hold off making significant decisions until your clarity begins to return later in the day. Don’t let anyone coerce you into choosing a course of action until you know that you’re ready.
Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, October 15th
After two days of unusual challenges, you will now be dealing primarily with Gemini Moon for most of this weekend. Following a skirmish of 135-degrees between Mercury and Ceres (12:25AM PDT) – an alignment that tends to decrease productivity for several hours – the Moon in Taurus starts a short, void uncertainty cycle at 3:52AM PDT that lasts until 7:16AM PDT. Finish old business on a high note during the void-of-course Moon cycle. Once the Moon shifts into airy Gemini (7:16AM PDT), you can soar like an eagle in arts, crafts, literary pursuits and beloved hobbies. Try your hand at limericks, rhyming poetry or haiku. Play a few tunes on a favorite musical instrument. Fly a kite or toss the Frisbee around. Light-hearted games and good fun are always a welcome accompaniment for the lunar orb in the third sign of the zodiac. On the shadow side, watch out for a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde approach to life where having a split-personality seems par for the course. If you want to dive into computer work or technological research, the Moon joins forces with Uranus via a supportive, 60-degree connection (10:54AM PDT). Take advantage of the fact that the cosmos is going cold turkey on the hard stuff for 24 hours, and keeping major aspects waiting in the wings until tomorrow and Monday.

A Tree Spell for Strength and Courage
You can carry out this spell with an Oak, Ash or Redwood, which are traditionally associated with courage and strength. But all trees are intrinsically powerful and so if you have a favorite grove of trees or piece of woodland, you can choose any tree you especially like. You could also use your magick tree.
By adapting the words you could, alternatively, use the tree spell to heal yourself, especially if you have a debilitating or chronic condition or suffer a lot of pain.
There are lots of ways we can return strength to trees, for example by picking up litter in woodlands, planting saplings in memory of loved ones in local woodlands on tree-planting days or campaigning for the preservation and regeneration of forests.
Timing: If possible, as sunlight filters through the leaves, but any bright morning.
You will need: A chosen tree. If you carry out the spell in an unfamiliar place, touch a number of trees and feel which one seems receptive to your energies.
A red (for strength and courage) or pink (for healing) biodegradable ribbon – not synthetic.
- Touch your chosen tree with both hands at about waist height so that you can comfortably place your upright outstretched palms against the tree to create a circuit. Loop the ribbon round your power hand.
- Your power hand will send your energy into the tree and it will flow out through your other hand, through your body and in again.
- Stand for a few moments and allow the connection to flow.
- Then say softly:
You are strong. Give me strength/courage/healing if it is right to be.
- You may be rewarded by a gentle breeze through the trees, a sudden shaft of sunlight, a pleasant buzzing vibration through your hands or a sense of peace and rightness. If the tree feels unresponsive, thank the tree nevertheless and try another one.
- When you feel the connection, press your hands more firmly against the trunk and allow the power to flow. Your whole body will feel more alive and energetic, and you will be filled with confidence, certainty and maybe even joy and harmony.
- When you sense the power ebbing slowly, remove the pressure until your palms are just lightly resting against the trunk.
- Thank the tree for its gifts and tie the ribbon round an accessible branch.
- Spend a few moments sitting against the tree looking up through the leaves. When you can, return the favor to nature.
A Tree Spell for Protection of Self and the Home
There are a number of variations of this traditional ritual. Especially in Scandinavia and Germany, red is a color of protection and was the color of Thor/Thunor, the thunder God whose magickal tree was the Oak.
Trees are believed to stand guardian over homes. If you don’t have one near your house, if you live in a potentially dangerous area or live alone and feel vulnerable indoors, you can use leaves to transfer tree power and as a portable symbol of protection. This spell is very effective for creating a psychic shield round yourself and your home.
Since the spell uses red leaves, it is easiest in Autumn, but copper beech and red Maple are just two tree with naturally red leaves. If you walk round an arboretum or ornamental garden, you will find a number of different species.
Timing: As the sky reddens at sunset
You will need: Three red leaves. Always remember to thank the tree even for a few leaves and do something small for nature, when you have time, in return for the power given. If you can’t find any red leaves, use three sprigs of any tree (oak is very effective) with a few leaves still on each stem. Tie the stems together with red wool or thread in three knots before you begin.
Any single tree essential or fragrance oil such as birch, cedarwood, cypress, laurel, pine or sandalwood.
A small red scarf or circle of fabric.
- Work in the open air, if possible close to the tree from which you take the leaves or if not where you can see the sunset. If you need to be indoors, light a red candle.
- Pick the red leaves, if possible close to or at the beginning of the spell.
- Set them on the red cloth and very carefully anoint each leaf or sprig with a drop of oil, saying as you do so, over each leaf:
- Fold the scarf of cloth round the leaves and knot the top three times to make a bag. Repeat the chant three more times as you make the bag.
- Hang the bag on the back of the main house door or your bedroom door if you sleep alone and are anxious.
- Repeat the spell when the leaves have crumbled or every three months, whichever is sooner.
