Episode 349: Feng Shui Qi Forecast: October 2025

·28 min·1 clip

October 6th's harvest moon is also a super moon—brighter and bigger—and historically gave farmers extra light to complete their harvest.

Episode 349 starts with seasonal housekeeping. The hosts welcome listeners to the October 2025 qi forecast, then mention the autumn equinox gathering, certification info session, newsletter, and downloadable feng shui autumn check-in list. From there, the month opens at an easy pace. October comes through as harvest time, especially for people who live with four clear seasons and can feel the shift in color, food, sweaters, and time spent gathering. The light is changing. The conversation spends time with late October and early November as a thin passage, when frost begins to hint at water chi and remembrance practices for ancestors or loved ones come closer to the surface. Autumn is moving toward winter. In feng shui terms, metal season starts to give way to water season, while yang activity settles into more yin, inward, darker-day energy. The hosts do not rush the listener through it. Before winter fully arrives, they suggest enjoying the harvest, noticing the bounty, and paying attention to how the colder edge feels. Then the forecast changes tools. This month uses the I Ching instead of tarot, with the book described as part of a Taoist foundation connected to feng shui, yin and yang, the elements, cycles of nature, and divination. The question stays plain: how can the Holistic Spaces podcast listener community welcome the chi of October? Hexagram five appears. The reading is water over heaven, also called cloud over heaven, and its focus on needing and waiting fits the seasonal pause. October is not treated as a month for forcing action. It is a time to watch the transition, listen to the atmosphere, and make room for what is on its way. The episode keeps its loose, conversational feel. Small corrections, travel asides, and cultural memories stay in the mix, including the closing thread about All Saints traditions and an upcoming experience in Mexico connected with Dia de Muertos. The tone stays intimate. Even when the hosts bring up courses, books, workshops, retreats, and the mailing list, those notes remain part of the teaching rhythm. The listener gets a soft check-in: notice the cold, the darker days, the food, the clothing, the colors, and the pull toward ancestors, then ask what kind of waiting or welcoming October is asking for. The charm is in the slow circling, where feng shui vocabulary starts to feel like ordinary weather at home.

As heard by us

Episode 349 treats October as a seasonal hinge from harvest toward water, then reads Hexagram 5 as a prompt for waiting and calculated action.

October is framed as a hinge month, moving from harvest into darker days and from metal season into water season. The episode lingers on familiar October details - color, food, sweaters, and the late-month turn toward cold - while also nodding to ancestor ties and other…
