Hi, I’m Shelley—The Farsighted Observer. So-named for my expansive vision in both the physical and unseen worlds. I see, hear, feel, and know things most people don’t. And I share these messages with my readers.

Dear Reader,

Join me in welcoming all new subscribers and my heartfelt thank you to renewing members!

You may think I’m jumping ahead by leading with a photo of an autumnal tree in a snowy winter setting. After all, the Fall Equinox was barely two weeks ago.

But that’s how fast things are moving. That’s why the subtitle today advises Fasten your seatbelts. To paraphrase Bette Davis—We’re in for a bumpy ride.

But I’m here to prepare you so you can smooth out the road ahead. That’s what today’s transmission is all about.

The new, incoming energy has prompted me to do something I’ve never done before. As you continue reading, you’ll see the message I received for the month of October is for the collective and free for all readers.

I also received a very personal message, which I’m sharing only with paid subscribers. Although the reading was for me, it has great significance for the collective.

Yet due to the intimate nature of events leading up to my new insights, I’m only sharing the experience with those who have shown they are interested in deeper soul examinations.

So for the first time ever, I am using a paywall. Free subscribers will have an opportunity to upgrade to read the entire message if they choose to continue with reading.


Shift happened. More is on the way.

Let’s begin with some good news:

September and its cosmic chaos is behind us!

Just to backtrack a bit, during September, we experienced powerful new and full moons, lunar and solar eclipses, the 9-9-9 portal, and the Fall Equinox.

You didn’t need to be aware that these events were happening in order to feel the energy of change in the air and in your body. If you weren’t paying close attention, circumstances arose to grab your attention and say, “Deal with it, now.”

For myself, friends, clients, and what I observed in the collective, current and/or past family issues surfaced in an explosive manner. Not just little squabbles. No. Full-out family feuds. What needed to be brought to the surface and cleared demanded to be addressed.

If it wasn’t familial discord, some sort of relationship changed in a big way—personal, business, or communal.

As we enter a new month and the final quarter of the year, you may be wondering…

Will October bring miracles or more mayhem?

My energy readings, along with everything I’m reading from astrologers and seers, indicate a brighter, more colorful month ahead. The signs favor abundance, full harvests, and opportunities to express gratitude.

A couple of caveats, however…

You must release what no longer serves to fully receive the bounties of this month/season.

And even if you think you’ve cleared all the decks, remember what everyone who has ever cleaned a house knows. Cleaning is an ongoing process, so remember to be forgiving of minor messes and ask for assistance in the upkeep.

Monday, October 6 marks the Full Moon in Aries and an extraordinary opportunity to let go of lingering emotions surrounding past events.

Yet this Aries Full Moon is more about stepping into your power with clarity and conviction than tending old wounds. It can represent a turning point, lighting your fire to fight for yourself and what you want.

And if you do, you can experience the full bounties of this Harvest Moon, the name given to the full moon occurrence closest to the Fall Equinox. It’s associated with harvesting and abundance.

Additionally, it is a supermoon—the first in 2025. A supermoon happens when the moon is near the point in its orbit closest to the Earth, so it appears extra large to observers on the planet.

The fact that the moon doesn’t actually change size but only appears larger is another cautionary factor: Appearances can be illusionary.

Nothing to worry about, but worthwhile to note if something seems to be too good to be true.

Discretion is always your best friend.


More truth to be told

Things are always shifting. Change continues to happen. Much of the time, it is for the ultimate and highest good, even if it doesn’t appear so in the middle of it.

We are currently in a period of rapid change and transformation, so this is not the time to relax or be off-guard. It is a time to be prepared, not surprised.

You may already be acquainted with the tools you need, but reach out if you would like support or guidance. I am here to help. In my intuitive sessions, I read energy, cards, and biofields (auras) to help you uncover and clear the underlying blocks that may be preventing you from receiving the abundance of good that is rightfully yours.

The message I received from the September shake-ups that will guide October’s trajectory for better or worse.

On the collective level, I’m still reeling from the intensity of the powerful eruptions. On a personal level… well, here goes with my story.
