October 2nd | New Moon in Libra & Solar Eclipse
We plant the seeds of our intentions at this new moon, connecting with the themes of balance, diplomacy, harmony in relationships, and beauty while the moon is in Libra.
Recommended Cacao: Tantric Rose Blossom is a beautiful choice for this new moon, amplifying heart connection and attunement to beauty with herbal add-ins of damiana and rose.
October 10th | World Mental Health Day
A holiday like this advocates for greater awareness of mental health resources to promote wellness. Cacao is a powerful ally for our mental health with vitamins, minerals, and amino acid precursors to essential mood regulating neurotransmitters.

October 17th | Full Moon in Taurus
We connect with the energies of celebration and release at this full moon, honing in on Taurean themes of our body, resources, security, and self worth.
Recommended Cacao: Connect with Taurean energetics of strength and rootedness in the earth with our Uplifting Uganda cacao, which is grown beneath the Rwenzori mountains, is strengthening and is supportive for lineage work.
October 23rd | Scorpio Season Begins
The Sun moves into the sign of Scorpio, where all things taboo have a home and we can integrate our shadows, death, mystery, power, and the like.
Recommended Cacao: Channel your Scorpionic energy by going deep underground and deep within yourself with Mystical Mushroom.
October 31st | Samhain & Halloween
November 1st | Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead)
The final day of October and leading into the first day of November is a historical and world wide recognized potent time. Modern day observances recognize this day as Halloween, a time of costumes and candy. More ancient and enduring though, is the recognition of the thinning of the veils and the nearness of our ancestors and dearly departed.
Recommended Cacao: Enjoy this warming and spicy cacao to celebrate the threshold of the veils thinning and supporting our connection with the unseen.
October Invocation: Flow + Let Go
This month, we’re inspired by the autumn threshold and leaves falling from the trees, with the eclipse season shaking up all that is ready to be released. In this spirit, we can channel the energy of ‘flow and let go’ for greater alignment.
