Every year, I feel the energy shift on October 1st.

Each calendar month has its own vibration, and the move from September to October is often the most noticeable one of the year.

This year, I’m expecting it to feel even stronger. Here's why.

According to Lemurian Numerology, October is a "1" month (1+0=1). It's the month of creation, genesis and new beginnings.

If you were following me back in January, I explained that 2026 is a "1" year: the first year of a brand-new nine-year cycle.

So, this October, we're standing in a "1" month inside a "1" year.

A beginning within a beginning.

And it's followed by November, a "2" month (1+1), and December, a "3" month (1+2). One, two, three: a complete mini-cycle of its own—from seed, to finding your way, to a joyful, balanced expression.

That's why I think of these final 90 days as a "mini-year." It's a chance to hit the RESET button, and even have a bit of a do-over.

​
But first, let's be honest about this year.

For many of us, 2026 hasn’t been easy.

Yes, a "1" year can be exciting, but beginnings are rarely tidy (that’s a gentle way of saying they’re often messy :-)

New seeds need room to grow. That often means letting go of old identities, old roles and old ideas about who we're supposed to be.

Have you spent much of this year feeling “in between”… no longer the person you were, yet not quite sure who you're becoming?

If that’s a yes, I know how it feels. It’s disorienting. Lonely, even. You might be looking back over the last nine months and thinking, "What have I been doing? I should be further along by now."

So, I want to say this as straightforward and lovingly as I can:

Nothing is wrong.

You aren’t broken.

You are not behind.

Like everyone else, you're walking your path as best you can, one step at a time.

And your higher self is lovingly guiding you forward. Even in the moments when you couldn't feel it. Especially in those moments.

What you've been doing this year is foundation work. And foundation work is mostly invisible.

It happens below the surface, where the roots of the next eight years are quietly taking hold.

​
Now for the good news.

The year is NOT over.

You still have three whole months to create a more satisfying 2026, beginning with the most potent "1" energy of the year: October.

Over the years, I've found it's much easier to focus my intentions for the 90 days from October to December than for an entire year from the first week of January.

​
Here's a simple, 3-step process to help you make the most of your mini-year:
​

Step 1: Honor what you've done (and what you've released)

Look back over the last nine months and give yourself credit for everything you've learned, created and experienced.

And this year, add something else to your list: what you've let go.

The old habits, beliefs, relationships or versions of yourself that you've released (or started to release) are real accomplishments. Endings make space for beginnings.

Write it all down. Your calendar or weekly planner can help jog your memory.

And please please please… this is not a time to judge yourself or compare yourself to others. Only acknowledge the good stuff 👍.
​

Step 2: Set 3 clear intentions for the next 90 days

If you joined my Best Year Ever 2026 mini-course in January, you'll remember the three guiding frequencies The Guardians shared for this year: Truth, Clarity and Focus.

They're perfect companions for your reset:

• Truth: What do I really want to experience between now and December 31st?
• Clarity: Why do I want it? What do I believe it will give me?
• Focus: Where do I want my attention to go over the next 90 days?

Keep it simple. Choose three areas of your life that genuinely matter to you and set one clear intention for each.

Don't make a long list. You don't need to tackle everything. You just need to begin again.
​

Step 3: Celebrate your mini-year

Put a date on your calendar in late December to review your October intentions and celebrate what unfolded.

​
That's it.

It doesn't take much time or effort. But it can change how you finish this year, and how you enter the energies of 2027.

So take a deep breath, and take advantage of this double dose of "1" energy.

You can always pause.
You can always check in with your heart.
And you can always choose again.

October is here to remind you of that. Happy Reset! 💕

In love and light,
David
