Veil Season Reset | Energy & Astrology Update | Magical Michelle Orwick

The air feels different when the veil begins to thin—and that shift is your invitation to reset. We step into the Libra new moon with clear, grounded guidance for release, protection, and fresh beginnings, then cross the threshold into Scorpio season to do the deeper work of identity, shadow, and ancestor connection. If you’ve been craving a clean slate for your relationships, your money, and your daily habits, this conversation offers tools you can use tonight.

We start with the dark moon: banishing, cleansing, and protecting your space so your nervous system can exhale. From there, we harness a Venus-happy Libra new moon to rebalance love, self-trust, and finances through small, elegant changes. You’ll hear how to set intentions that stick, why ritual speaks the body’s language, and how to use simple practices—lighting a candle with purpose, reviewing your budget with calm, refreshing your altar—to anchor a new identity in the real world.

As the Sun moves into Scorpio, we lean into ancestor work, introspection, and the death-and-rebirth cycle that powers true change. You’ll get a burn-to-release script, a write-to-claim framework, and a sensory anchor using Neroli oil to embody your next chapter. We also unpack Mercury’s shadow and why language is spellwork: worry acts like a negative prayer, while honest, precise words align your mind, heart, and actions. By the end, you’ll have a clear path to speak, act, and think like the version of you who already lives the life you want.

If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review so more seekers can find the show. Ready to step through the doorway? Your new chapter is waiting.

Magical Michelle Orwick: 0:19

Welcome to Living Magically. I'm your host, Magical Michelle, and here we are back in spooky season, as you know it is my favorite time of year. I realize everything is sort of my favorite time of year, but there is nothing like Halloween season for my little heart to be so overflowed with joy. So let's talk about the astrology and what's happening this week and the energy. So today, um, happy uh duali for those who celebrate. It's the festival of lights, it's a new year in the Hindu tradition. And so for those of you celebrating, happy, happy new year. And I see this also as a great time to celebrate. We have a new moon coming tomorrow, and I apologize, I have lost my voice. So it's one of those things. I just got back from Egypt, then I did a wedding. Of course, I'm gonna be jet lagged and have my voice leave. I also might have got hit in the head, but I'm all better now. So, anyway, with all of that being said, what is your initiation that you're going through? And that's really what's happening as an overarching theme. That we are letting go of our old identity with this new moon. And if you are watching this early enough, you're watching this video on Monday, you have the dark moon. So I always let go of things at the dark moon. This is a good day for ritual release, for saging your house, for burning things, banishment. And because the time of year, this is a particularly good time now into November to do protection work and banishing work. So I always like a good dark moon for that. It is the last few days of Libra. So we're talking about balance, the light and the dark, the day and the night. We have moved into the dark season where every day grows a little bit darker in the sky, and the night overcomes the day. This is time to go inward. This is where the veil starts to thin. And at least here in Orlando, I can feel it in the temperature, I can feel it in the energy. And even the last days I was in Egypt, I could feel the veil shift and the ancestors start talking. And the spirit world wake up and start working with us. And so, again, this is a great time to start that contact. It's an incredible time to redress your altars, simply deep clean your house, your spiritual tools. And if you are one who does things like wording on your doors or your property, it's a good time to charge those crystals. Redo your protections. We move this week into Scorpio from Libra, but before that, we have new moon in Libra. So Tuesday is a new moon. It's incredible for relationship work. We have Venus very happy right now in its home sign. So this is a good time to look at your relationships with yourself, with others, with your body, and especially your relationship with business, money, and finance. So if you're like looking at your money, this is an incredible time to do it. And as we move into the weekend, on the 23rd, we will the sun will move into Scorpio. So with this new moon, we're talking fresh start, new beginnings, big habits, starting to do things in a way that feels better for you, feels better for your body. As Scorpio comes in, the veil gets even thinner. It's time to start doing that inner work, the work with the ancestors, the work with your identity, the work with death and rebirth. And so, of course, that's going to be for the next 28 days or so as we move through the Soin season. Sowin being the Celtic name for Halloween. We have multiple ways Halloween is celebrated. Of course, there's Halloween the 31st, there's Day of the Dead, which is the first, and that's more of a Mexican um celebration. But for those of us who celebrate Sao, and there's really a few different places, you can start celebrating it now with the veil thinning. And so I will start those this weekend. I will start my ancestor work, I will start my inner dialogue, I will start looking at the new year. And if you are local to Orlando and wish to join me, we'll be at Center Street for a beautiful, amazing women's retreat, women and man's retreat. I shouldn't call it a woman's retreat. It's really more of a sowing retreat. And we have one of my favorite people in the whole world coming, Beth, is going to be doing deep breath work. We're gonna have sound healing, um, ritual, and introspection, as well as that piece where we unfold into the new identity, into that new beginning. So if that's something you're interested in, there are a few slots left for the beautiful sowen retreat on Saturday. So please feel free to join us. We'll put that link down in the comment section. In the meantime, if you are wanting to do this work for yourself, take a piece of paper and write down what are you letting go of? Who are you no longer willing to be? What are the habits that you need to let go of, or identity you need to let go of for this new year, and burn it? And then as you rise, what is the identity you're claiming? And how are you going to create new habits, new identity, and how are you going to step fully into that and ignite that, light a candle, anoint yourself. My favorite oil that I'm working with right now is Neroli oil. And you can place that on your heart, your wrists, your third eye, and open up to this identity as it unravels. Who am I? Who am I becoming? Who am I no longer? And what are the habits I need to connect to to be this new version of me? And with that, I know that you will feel more alive, more excited. And this season goes all the way until the 15th degree of November. And during that time, we're going to be in Mercury Shadow. And so we're going to start seeing starting the 21st, Mercury getting ready to go retrograde. And it is shadow season anyway. So it's all about reviewing yourself, reviewing your communications. How do you communicate? Are you saying words that are not in alignment with who you want to be? Are you complaining? Are you speaking into being a negative spell by saying this isn't going to happen for me? Are you are you saying what you don't want instead of what you do want? Worry is a negative prayer. And so all the words and thoughts and actions you put into being create your frequency. So from the 21st of October until the middle of November, before Mercury goes retrograde, it's an incredible time to review the way you speak to yourself, your body, your friends, your family, and to the world. This is the perfect practice to become the new you by speaking, acting, thinking, and doing as if the version of you that already is, the one that has what you want, the one that acts like what you want, where you're affirming what you want instead of constantly complaining about what you don't want. This period of time could be a game changer for you. And so if you are in the point where you're ready to do some work around that and you're interested, please um please send me a message and we'll set up a session because I do believe that this is one of those key works, um, key pieces of time to do shadow work and change work. And this is the time you are ready. I really believe that. So connect to your mind, your heart, and most importantly, your voice, which mine is recalibrating. We went through Egypt, and one of the things that we really did was connect to that throat chakra. And so I came back and I know that my voice is going to become even stronger, even more clear, and the things that I say and speak into being will be bigger, more aligned. And so too shall it be for you. So, how are you aligning with your new voice, your new mind's eye, your new version of you? And with that, happy new year, happy new moon, and happy sun moving into Scorpio. And hopefully, I will see you this weekend at our Sourn retreat at Center Street. And with that, I love you. Live magically.
